🎅✨ SANTA PHOTO UPDATE! ✨📸
(And here come all the answers before the questions roll in 😆)

The photos are OFFICIALLY UPLOADED — yay! 🎉
All 1,428 of them. Yes… 1,4-2-8. We’ve been busy. 😉

A few reminders to make things smooth:

📂 ONE MASS GALLERY:
All families are in one shared gallery.
Photos are grouped in order of your time slot, so scroll to the time you came and you’ll find your crew.

📸 NOT CULLED — YOU SEE EVERYTHING
The good, the goofy, the blink, the laugh — the entire experience.
This gives you FULL control to choose your favorites and also enjoy the behind-the-scenes moments.

🎄 ADDITIONAL EDITS:
We know everyone is patiently waiting to order Christmas cards and grab those Cyber Monday deals — so we moved FAST editing all 1,428 photos.
That means I may have missed something.

✨ Simple edits? FREE.
Want a photo a little lighter, darker, or cropped? Just ask.

✨ Complex edits?
Glasses glare, face swaps, blurring background distractions, etc.
Those go to our editing partner and are $10 per photo.

💛 We’re so grateful for every family who came out.
Seeing those sweet little faces every year is truly the best part of the season for us.

📅 Mark your calendar for next year!
Santa Sessions are always the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

Enjoy your gallery — and get those Christmas cards ready! 🎅✨📬

✨ Thank you to everyone who came out for Santa yesterday!
We LOVE seeing y’all every year — those sweet little faces truly get me in the Christmas spirit. ❤️🎅

I’ve added all the email addresses from the signup sheet (and I’m so sorry for not putting a spot for that on the spreadsheet originally… ’tis the season to be a little crazy! 😅).

If you don’t mind, please take a quick glance to make sure I typed everything correctly — just in case I missed a letter or number.

I’m still missing email addresses for:
• Jill Marie
• Samantha Fraga
• Lainey Donnan
• Kim Christman
• Courtney Leagans
• Taylor Wofford

Please message me your email so I can get your gallery link sent when everything is ready! 💛
