Christmas photos are a wonderful annual tradition and each year we’re blown away by the stunning backdrops, festive flair, and Christmassy creativity brought to us by the Central Coast’s many talented photographers. And with so many incredible settings to choose from, 2024 promises to be no exception!
This year you’re spoilt for choice.
You can visit Santa on the beach, in the bush, in a snowy wonderland, in a glasshouse, at a historic homestead on a farm, in a fig tree-dotted park, fireside in a cosy loungeroom, or at your own school!

All of these Santa and festive sets are so beautiful, the only tricky part is deciding which one to do…

Imy & Me Photography – Personalised Santa sessions
If you’re looking for a magical Santa experience as well as some beautiful Santa snaps, then you’ll absolutely love your photo session with Imy & Me. We think the experience she’s created is very, very special.
Most kids don’t really care about the Santa “photo”. For kids, it’s about the magical encounter of meeting Santa himself. When kids come face to face with the jolly man in the red suit, it’s a moment filled with awe and wonder: a moment when they’re excited and nervous and have little butterflies in their tummy, as they can’t quite believe that he’s there.
And this is where Imy & Me’s Santa sessions come unto their own. As, while Kirsty’s sessions allow kids time to whisper their wishes in Santa’s ear, to experience the warmth of his kindness and the twinkle in his eye, she also ensures that this experience is personalised.
What does that mean, you ask? Well, before your photo session with Santa, Kirsty sends parents an email asking for your children’s names, what they’ve achieved this year, what’s on their Christmas wish list and what their plans/hopes/goals are for the following year. When your family comes in to meet with Santa, Santa will show kids his special “Magic Book” and inside will be these beautiful details of your children so Santa can then have a real and personal chat with your kids about the year they’ve had and the year ahead.
We get teary just thinking about how wide-eyed and special your kids are going to feel when Santa asks them how their soccer final went, or if they’re enjoying their dancing classes, or what colour bike they’d like, without any prompting first. And if you have a little non-believer or a child who’s starting to question whether Santa is real, this is a beautiful way to extend the magic.
Kirsty’s images capture this moment – when Santa is showing the kids their profile in his “Magic Book”. It’s a photo you’ll treasure as it’s sure to capture a magical moment in time when your kids make a genuine connection with Santa.
Plus, as if that weren’t enough magic, you’ll also receive a personalised video message from Santa for your child to view on Christmas Eve! It may be Santa telling your kids that he has their gifts packed in his sleigh or that he had a lovely time meeting them. How special is that!

Santa Haus
Kat Carr and Santa Roy are back for their 14th year of festive Santa sessions. Santa Haus is a magical festive space that includes Santa’s living room and a Christmas decorations shop.
Each year, Kat and her elves busily re-build a new festive loungeroom setting for families. It’s always different, always stunning and always includes Kat’s signature rustic aesthetic – think natural timbers, white detailing and lots of raw materials.
Roy, the Santa of children’s storybooks (pictured), will be back again for his 14th year and Santa Bruce for his 4th year. If you have a child who’s questioning the likelihood of flying sleighs and elves, a sitting with Santa Roy or Santa Bruce will have them believing again – “his eyes how they twinkle, his dimples how merry…And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.”
To round out the experience of visiting Santa Haus, there’s also a Christmas shop on site where you can purchase something special for your 2024 Christmas.
Kat and her Santa team offer an experience that goes above and beyond. It truly is a magical space of Christmas fun, not to be missed.
Santa Haus

The historic Tocal Homestead and surrounding grounds is a stunning wedding venue, but for a few months each year, Santa arrives to take photos with Natural Lights Photography.

Ray Lawler Reserve, commonly referred to as Morpeth Common, is a beautiful park in historic Morpeth and makes a gorgeous backdrop for Natural Lights Photography’s Santa snaps.
This lovely parkland has a small pond, a shaded playground and lots of picnic tables, so we recommend you bring a picnic rug and basket of food and make a beautiful day of it. After all, when you’ve made the effort to get the family out of the house, you want to make the most of it.

Whiteman Photography Santa Sessions
Whiteman Photography and Santa Trevor are back again this Christmas with their brilliantly fun home studio mini sessions. With every session you have access to two different sets – a cosy log cabin and a wintry tree farm where Santa will happily roll around in the snow with your kids! Can’t decide which one you prefer? You can get images for both!
Each session runs for 20 minutes, giving the kids heaps of time with Santa. We absolutely love this, as we think so much of this experience for kids is the wonder of meeting Santa himself. Twenty minutes gives your kids ample time to have a chat with Santa and tell him what toy they’d like to discover under the tree. It also means that there’s plenty of time for babies, anxious children and kids with special needs to warm up to Santa and to feel more comfortable in his presence, so you’ll likely get a photo with smiles than tears and a stack of beautiful images.
Whiteman Photography
Cost: Studio Sessions are 20 minutes long and include use of both indoor scenes, plus access to a client gallery of approximately 20 Images. Single sessions are limited to 9 people; if you have more than 9 people, you must book 2 sessions.
+ Base Package $130: includes 2 high-resolution digital downloads of the client’s choice from their gallery, with the option to purchase additional images for $20 each.
+ Full Gallery Prepaid Package $180: includes high-resolution digital downloads of all the images in the client’s gallery (usually 20-30 images).
When: Every weekend from 2 November to 15 December 2024.
Location: Charmhaven
Dogs are welcome too!

Jessie’s in-studio sessions allow clients access to her client wardrobe – a stunning array of flowing dresses, kids overalls, linen shirts and even festive attire that ensure you’re looking sensational and your images are both frame- and Insta-worthy.

Santa Paws Christmas Minis
Your pets are very special family members, so we absolutely love that Santa Paws invites your pets to be centre stage in your festive photos. And it’s not just dogs that are welcome: cats, birds, lizards, fish, guinea pigs and rabbits can all have their photo taken at Santa Paws, too!
Photographer Courtney started Santa Paws in 2020 after finding it difficult to find festive photos that allowed her to bring her own pet. Courtney says, “My fiancé Brendan and I got our Golden Retriever Willow in 2020 which obviously meant we wanted to start our own tradition of an annual family Christmas photo! However, when I started looking into where to get one done with Willow as the main star, it was proving difficult to find places that accepted animals and those that did had limited session times that you could attend”. And so Santa Paws was born.
All Santa Paws sessions are pet friendly and, of course, pet-free families are welcome too! Courtney understands that some animals might find the new environment a little stressful and she invites people to contact her prior to their appointment so she can make adjustments to keep your pet as comfortable as possible during their photo session.
New this year, and for one day only, Santa will be visiting Santa Paws! We recommend you snap your spot quick-smart, because they’ll be barking popular.
Santa Paws Christmas Minis
Cost: Classic session $80 | $100 Santa Photo session on 1st December.
Included: Each session runs for 10 minutes. You get five digital photos emailed via Dropbox within 7 days (guaranteed by Christmas Eve if booking within 7 days of Christmas). The five photos can include a mix of pet + family and pet-only Christmas photos.
When: Most Saturdays and Sundays from 2 November to 8 December 2024.
Location: Santa Paws studio at 15 Forresters Beach Rd, Forresters Beach.

Santa on the Beach Central Coast
We’re SUPER excited to introduce Santa on the Beach Central Coast! This fabulously festive Aussie setting and Santa is making its inaugural debut at North Shelly Beach this year, and we absolutely love it.
Katie of Dear Juniper Photography is behind the lens and she’s no stranger to taking photos on the beach. Katie specialises in underwater photography and regularly captures locals in the surf and on the sand (you can see Dear Juniper’s underwater family and maternity photos in our feature here).
Katie has been taking Christmas Minis at Kulnura’s Christmas Tree Farm for the past couple of years, but with its closure this year she thought it time to go all out and take her festive photos where she really loves: the beach! And she’s bringing an Aussie Santa complete with boardies and a Hawaiian shirt with her.
This is designed to be a super fun photo session. Bring your family, bring your pets, come in boardies and flip-flops or dress up in your festive best. Just bring a smile and have a laugh. You can have a few snaps with Santa and some without him – the choice is yours.
Photographer Katie has two neurodiverse kiddies herself, so she’s well-versed in the challenges that working with children can present. If you have questions or concerns, Katie welcomes you to reach out to her, so she can make the session as inclusive as possible for your family.
The Santa on the Beach Central Coast photos will be taken in the late afternoon/early evening and first thing of a morning to make the most of the “golden hour” and the beautiful dappled light these hours bring.
Santa on the Beach Central Coast
Price: $80 for a 5-minute session (large families or extended family groups may require 2 x sessions) with 10 professionally edited high-res images delivered via email.
Location: North Shelly Beach.
When: Every Saturday and Sunday from 2 November until 23 December 2024. Saturday Mornings (7am- 10am) and Sunday afternoons (4pm- 7pm).

SantaSnaps – LookPro Photography’s SantaSnaps raise money for local schools!
Looking for an affordable, fun and unique Santa photo experience that gives back to your school community?
Santasnaps is a fundraiser for local Central Coast primary schools – with 20% of all profits going to the hosting school’s P&C. AND everyone is welcome to attend – not just families who attend the school that’s hosting!
Santa Snaps is a fundraising initiative of local school and sports photography group LookPro Photography. You can read more about them in our feature here.
Interested in getting your school involved? You’re in luck: they’re currently looking for Central Coast schools keen to take part in their 2024 Santa photo fundraisers. Simply head to their website here and fill in the “expressions of interest” form.
Here’s why we love SantaSnaps for families, too.
With SantaSnaps there’s no pre-payment. Your photos are available to view online before you buy, so there’s no pressure to purchase should your family be crying, squinting, or having a bad hair day!
Double bonus: the photos are available to view super quickly – within 48 hours (usually the next business day). From there, you can download the digital versions instantly, and any orders of prints or photo gifts will be mailed out that same day – for FREE! No more waiting weeks and weeks to see your snaps and then missing Australia Post’s Christmas deadlines.
Triple bonus: you’re giving back to a local school – perhaps even YOUR local school. That takes ” the season of giving” to a whole new level.
We think LookPro Photography may have been looking at our Christmas photo wish lists because this ticks so many fabulous boxes for us… it’s affordable, it’s fast, it’s quality and it gives back to our schools. All in all, It’s pretty special!

Santa in the Bush with Oak Street Creative Co
If you’re looking to capture those quintessential Aussie bush Christmas vibes, then you can’t go past Santa in the Bush!
This Santa photoshoot is all about fun, laughter and capturing those laid-back Aussie Christmas vibes among towering gum trees and candy canes.
Santa and Claire (owner/photographer of Oak Street Creative Co) have been working together to bring you the magic of the festive season for 10 years!
The bush remains consistent but the setting changes every year. In past years they’ve had Santa in a “rusty Holden ute”, camping with a retro caravan, picnicking in the bush and more. In 2024, Santa will be sitting at the entrance to his Reindeer farm and the images shown here are a photoshopped example of how the final real setting will look.
Santa in the Bush’s photo sessions all last for 10 minutes, giving you ample time to have a chat with Saint Nick, tell him your present wish list and take some fun photos. If you book the Outback Magic Package, the kids will come away with a bag of reindeer goodies from Santa too.
Book quickly: these sessions always sell out!

Central Coast Santa Studio
After a super successful inaugural launch in 2023, we’re excited to share that Central Coast Santa Studio is returning to Forresters Beach this year.
The setting is gorgeously rustic and this Santa is spot on: his eyes – how they twinkle! His dimples, how merry! And the beard on his chin is as white as the snow.
Central Coast Santa Studio is a fabulous all-weather Santa option, and they have umpteen dates available from October all the way up to a few days shy of Christmas, so it’s perfect for early-bird bookers, last-minute snappers and everyone in between.
They have dedicated Sensitive Santa sessions, pet sessions, super quick smile and snap sessions for couples and longer sessions for young tots who may need a little more time to warm up to the man in red.
And they also offer a Multi-Gen Extended family session! As someone who comes from a large extended family, we absolutely love this idea. This session warmly invites you to invite your whole extended family – your aunts, uncles, grandparents and grandchildren. In this session, they aim to deliver 10 images, including the whole group, each individual family (including parents), each individual family (children only), plus a generation shot (e.g. all the grandchildren). This is such a special way to capture the love and joy of your extended family in a fun and festive setting.
Central Coast Santa Studio

+ FurBaby | Pet Friendly: Pet-friendly session with your furry, scaly & feathery babies | 5+ high-res images | 10 min | $99.

Local Favourites Not Doing Santa Pics in 2024
We often get enquiries from people asking if certain photographers are running their Santa and festive sessions each year, so we’ve started compiling a little list of past favourites who are sadly no longer operating.
Santa on the Central Coast
Santa on the Central Coast has been taking gorgeous Santa snaps for many years, and they’ve long been popular for their beach, bush and garden settings. Sadly Simone and Mel have made the difficult decision to not do Santa photos any longer.
Soul Story Photography
Renee’s studio festive photos have wowed families with their beauty and whimsy, but sadly, Renee has decided to move into another field.
Brilliant Santa on the Beach
For all of those people enquiring, the very special team behind Brilliant Santa on the Beach are no longer taking Santa snaps. These guys donated all proceeds from their photoshoots to Aspect Central Coast School, so they were pretty spesh.
Santa on the Sand
This wonderful fundraising event has now retired. Michelle said, Santa and his wonderful Elves “unfortunately don’t currently have the time in their busy work schedules to give Santa on the Sand the love it deserves.
We are so grateful to all of you for being part of this since 2011, raising over $22000 for St Vincent de Paul, helping local families make ends meet at Christmas… We absolutely loved every minute of sharing this with you all and watching your families and fur babies grow!”
