Kara Reese Photography
Create timeless, artistic memories with A Moment With Santa® by Kara Reese Photography in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Founded in 2016, our mission is to go beyond basic Santa photo sessions and deliver a luxury experience and the Norman Rockwell charm you desire. We’ve captured the magic for over a hundred families with our exclusive Old World Santa over the last 8 years, and we’d love to do the same for your family. What sets us apart? Unlike other studios, we limit sessions and schedule families an hour apart, ensuring an unhurried experience. Our studio is sensory friendly and handicap accessible. We understand that children’s reactions to Santa can vary, and we’ll work with you to ensure beautiful photos, no matter what. Our goal is to provide your family with an unrushed, relaxed, and joyful photoshoot, resulting in beautiful, timeless artwork featuring your children with Santa Claus.

Their 2024 Santa Portrait Series is Sold Out for the year, but you can join their studio newsletter to be notified of any cancellations or when bookings open for next year: http://eepurl.com/gkXKnD.
