This holiday season, Santa made a grand stop in Kinston, NC, bringing joy and magic to families from Greenville, Goldsboro, New Bern, and beyond. The classic Christmas setup was the perfect backdrop for capturing the wonder of the season, with twinkling lights, flocked trees, and, of course, the big man in red himself. From belly laughs to shy smiles (and yes, even a few tears), these Santa mini sessions were a delightful mix of emotions and memories that families will treasure for years to come.

Looking back, it’s hard to pick a favorite moment. Whether it was the giggles of little ones sharing their Christmas wishes, the quiet awe of a baby meeting Santa for the first time, or the hilarious antics of a sibling duo keeping things lively, each session brought something special. If you’re already dreaming of capturing your own magical moments with Santa next year, keep an eye out for my 2025 Santa Mini Session Christmas in July presale—spots fill up fast, and I can’t wait to make more holiday memories with you!
