About Santa's Workshop
Since 2018, Santa’s Workshop has been creating more than just memories—it has been crafting timeless, breathtaking artwork that brings the magic of Christmas to life. What began as a simple studio space with the beloved Santa Jerry has transformed into a fully immersive experience, where every visit becomes a work of art that will be cherished for generations.
Santa’s Workshop is designed to feel real—filled with authentic props, hand-crafted details, and cozy, nostalgic scenes straight from the North Pole. Here, your family isn’t just posing for pictures—you’re stepping into a storybook scene, where the wonder of Christmas unfolds in every heartfelt moment.
But beyond the magic and the memories, Santa’s Workshop is also about living the true reason for the season—giving. Through storytelling and hands-on experiences, we teach children the importance of kindness, generosity, and the joy of sharing with others. Every visit is an opportunity to experience the spirit of Christmas, not just in the moment, but in a way that lingers in the heart all year long.
Our goal is to go beyond capturing beautiful portraits. We are dedicated to creating fine art pieces that celebrate the magic of the season—art that will grace your home, reminding you of the joy, warmth, and love shared during this extraordinary experience. Because here at Santa’s Workshop, Christmas isn’t just a visit—it’s a masterpiece in the making.
Come and see for yourself. Let the magic begin!

"Erin is a truly talented photographer!"
We had a magical experience during our Santa Session! From start to finish, Erin put so much thought and care into creating a warm, personal, and interactive experience that truly felt like we had been transported to the North Pole. The set was beautifully designed, with incredible attention to detail that really brought the holiday spirit to life. Santa & Mrs. Claus were so engaging and made our little ones feel right at home. The entire session was filled with laughter, joy, and moments we will cherish forever. The story book and photos turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. If you're looking for a memorable, heartwarming holiday experience, Santa’s Workshop is the place to go! Best sure to check out the new and exciting set additions Erin and the elves have planned for the 2025 Santa season.

"The joy and magic of Christmas just hits you when you enter!"
This experience is the most amazing Santa and Mrs Claus experience a child can get in the region! Everyone is so warm, welcoming, and engaging and seem to "know" the children as soon as they walk through the door. The joy and magic of Christmas just hits you when you enter the workshop! Even if your child is shy or nervous, Erin is amazing at capturing your Childs joyful expressions. 10/10 recommend every year!!
