I can’t wait to see you this holiday season! Forever memories loading now...

I’m a sing in the car, dance in the kitchen, bake you warm cookies, and greet you with a giant hug kind of person. I love travel and adventure as much as I love sitting on the couch with popcorn and a movie. Most of all, I love my family- I’m deeply loyal with a tender heart for mothering.

Motherhood and family mean everything to me. When you invite me to capture your milestones, I know you’re sharing your heart with me. Through my photos, I share my heart with you, too.

I can't wait to bring the magic of the holidays to life when your littles meet Santa this year!

Hi, I’m Christine Deaton!

As Seen In:

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY santa SESSION?

It's best to book your session ASAP when the booking email releases. Santa sessions are only available on one specific date each year. When they are sold out, that's it. 

Why a Santa Session?

Santa sessions with Christine Deaton are a great way to avoid the crowds and lines that exist in most Santa meet and greet settings. The photos you will receive in your online gallery will be more personal, emotive, and timeless. 

What should my child wear?

I have the best news... when you book your Santa session with Christine Deaton Creative I immediately send you my Style Guide to help you prepare for your session! My best quick tips are to choose neutrals, earth-tones, and solid holiday colors. Add in layers with sweaters or vests, and details with jewelry and children's hair accessories. 

When should we arrive?

Because Santa Sessions are booked back-to-back, there is no wiggle room in my schedule. If you are running late I unfortunately cannot give you extra time during your session since it would push back each session following. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early, that way we can be sure to get all those memorable photos of your beautiful Children and Santa!

 

How many people can be in a Santa session?

Santa Sessions are designated for babies and young children, and unfortunately they cannot accommodate anyone that is not siblings. Parents are able to join in on a Santa VIP session if you choose the VIP collection at booking. If you would like to book a session with extended family and/or your pets, then I would love to book a full session for you.

 

What is the cancellation policy?

Santa sessions are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled. Please make sure before booking that you are available on the date and time you book. If you absolutely cannot make your session and have a personal/family emergency, then please contact me via email to discuss your options. I often have a waitlist of families who may be able to buy your spot from you. 

What if it rains on the day of our session?

Here is the good news, Santa sessions are indoors in our cozy Scottsdale studio! The only thing that would hold us back is emergency weather that forced us all from traveling on the roads. Weather happens, and I'm always watching the forecast as Santa session dates approach. If I find that we need to reschedule Santa sessions I will immediately contact you with more information. If for some reason you cannot make the alternative date, then you can use the credit towards a future session.

 

Can i give or sell my santa session to someone else?

YES! Absolutely. You can gift or sell your Santa session if you are unable to attend. Exchange of money will be between you and the new client. Please make sure that the new client emails me to sign their own contract. 

WHEN WILL I GET MY PHOTOS?

I deliver your digital gallery link within 3 weeks so you can preview all the edited photos from your session. I choose only the most flattering, beautiful photos. Then you are able to download your favorite 5 or 10 photos (depending on your collection choice). If you want more, you can purchase them a la carte directly from your gallery!

"OMG!! These photos and the heirloom video are the cutest things ever!! We had so much fun with you and Santa!"

"Working with you and creating these joyful memories for each child that visits is the best gift each season. Thank you for always capturing the magic as it unfolds. Each family has the most beautiful photos to charish for a lifetime!"

- Santa Claus
