Meeting Santa & Mrs. Claus holiday session experience Harpsy Portraiture Lexington, SC portrait studio

Our 2023 Holiday Season

The holiday season is a magical time filled with warmth, joy, and the spirit of togetherness. At Harpsy Portraiture, we were privileged to be a part of numerous heartwarming moments, meeting new families and welcoming back familiar faces during our 2023 holiday sessions. As we reflect on the past few weeks, we are excited to share the highlights and memories that made this holiday season truly special.

This year's Santa Experience was more magical than ever...

This holiday season, our limited-edition Santa Experience sessions brought the enchantment of meeting Santa & Mrs. Claus to life for children of all ages. This special session experience was carefully crafted to provide families with a unique and immersive encounter with the jolly man in red and his lovely wife. From the moment families stepped into our festively decorated studio, they were transported into a winter wonderland where the magic of the season came alive. The real magic unfolded as children shared their holiday wishes and dreams with Santa. We were able to capture candid moments of wonder, laughter, and pure joy as each child experienced the magic of meeting Santa & Mrs. Claus. From the smallest whispers to the most exuberant requests, every interaction was a precious memory in the making.


To make our Santa Experience truly memorable, we incorporated interactive elements into each session. From storytelling and playing to personalized gifts and treats, every detail was designed to enhance the enchantment of the moment. The personalized and intimate nature of these sessions allowed each child to feel special and cherished during their time with Santa. We even incorporated a personalized gift for each child based on parents' initial consultation. The pure joy on their faces as Santa presented each child with a gift they truly wanted just made the experience that much more personal and special.


We're already preparing for next year's Santa sessions and can't wait to share with our clients!

Meeting new families & welcoming returning clients


One of the most rewarding aspects of our holiday sessions was the opportunity to welcome new families into the Harpsy Portraiture community. Every family brought their unique dynamics, creating a tapestry of stories waiting to be told through our lens. From capturing the excitement of a child's first holiday season to freezing those candid moments of laughter and love, our sessions were a celebration of the diversity and beauty within each family.


As the holiday season rolled around, familiar faces returned to our studio, bringing with them a sense of familiarity and friendship. It was heartwarming to see children we had photographed in previous years & earlier this year were now a little taller, a little wiser, and as eager as ever to create new memories. Seeing repeat clients is truly such a testament to how much we love our clients.
