Santa Pics

This year we decided to try out some Fotofly Santa for some fun Christmas pics. We had heard about it but  have never been able to get an appointment, so I was on the ball this year and booked a few months ahead of time. The idea is that you get great Santa pics, without the "scary." So they have Santa suits on hand that the parents can wear to get the job done. Mike was a good sport. Here's a pic of him getting ready. 

 

Faith was still not so sure about this, even with Santa being Dad.

 

They do have a real Santa there too in case the kids don't want to use the parent one and to let the kids see Santa when they are done with pictures. Zaric was the only one that would go over. He told Santa his name and that he was 4 and that he wanted "presents" for Christmas. And he proceded to give Santa big hugs. 



Here are a few of the final results. Zaric was such a ham during our session with the photographer. I think it shows in the tongue pic. He was being so silly with him, he couldn't seem to keep that tongue in his mouth.

Since this was our first time doing this session, we were unsure what to expect from the kids and the photographers. To be honest, we were a little disapointed in the experience and the amount of families they were trying to herd through there at one time. It was total chaos and they only did really 2 poses and didn't spend much time asking what we wanted or getting it just right. So I'm not sure if we'll do it in the future. But I'm still glad we did it this year and have at least one good pic for our Christmas card.
