​

Newborns, Children, Adults, Pets

​

It is completely up to the comfort level of the family whether you would prefer Santa to hold/carry your child. We ask that parents/guardians of newborns (or babies who are unable to sit) please be prepared to join in the photographs by holding/carrying your child *if* it is not your preference for Santa to hold your child. 

 

Don't have any children? Not a problem. Many adults and couples love to stop by and get photos with Santa. We love how creative some of you get! It's super fun!

 

Have fur babies? Great! Let us know ahead of time so we can prepare a pet friendly environment for you. 

​

​

Accessibility and Special Needs

​

We welcome children with special needs! Please let us know, ahead of time, of any specific requirments your child might have so we can ensure a magical experience for all! Currently we are only offering 15 minutes sessions for any guest with mobility needs. Please email us at christmasvilleinemeryville.com or text (510) 463-1426 and we will be happy to hear from you.

​

​

Parking

​

We are located at 1311 61st street in Emeryville. Once you arrive find a place to park on the street near the park. This is a very safe neighborhood but always make sure to take everything with you and lock your car.

​

​

What should I wear?

​

We encourage you to dress up and get creative. Some of our favorite photos is of the whole family in matching pajamas! We do not allow outfit changes due to the limited time you have on set.

​

 

General Sickness

​

If your child or someone in your household is experiencing any of the following symptoms within 24 hours of your visit, we ask that you keep your child at home so as to not expose Santas, our staff, and/or other children. Symptoms include but are not limited to: fever, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, lice, eye infection, and/or concussion.

​

Please email us at christmasvilleinemeryville.com or text (510) 463-1426 immediately so we have plenty of time to reschedule your family.

​

Cancellation Policy

​

If you are unable to make your appointment we require at least a 72 hour notice. We will first try to reschedule you for a later date and if that is not an option then we can put your payment towards a future family portrait session in the spring or fall. We do not offer refunds at this time.
