Santa Under the Oaks 2025

Step into a holiday dream under the canopy of majestic oak trees, where magic hangs in the moss and memories are made beneath the branches. This unique outdoor Santa session pairs the natural beauty of a timeless Louisiana landscape with the wonder of a personal visit from Santa. No lines, no crowds, just joyful, heartfelt moments captured by Jillian.

​

📸 THE SESSION

Santa awaits your little ones in a golden antique settee nestled among the oaks. Children light up as they approach, ready to share their wishes while Jillian photographs the magic from start to finish — the laughter, the wonder, and those once-a-year smiles.

Choose from three session options to fit your family’s needs:

• PACKAGE 1: A shorter session ideal for capturing 2 keepsake photos with Santa — perfect for a short and sweet visit. Best for older children.

• PACKAGE 2: Allows time for a family photo with Santa, plus interaction time to ease into the moment.

• PACKAGE 3: Our most relaxed experience, perfect for younger children or families who want to soak it all in. We’ll incorporate varied poses and even capture sweet cookie-sharing moments (with your permission)! Allows for time with and without Santa.

Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa! Attire is up to you. Whether cozy Christmas pajamas, festive outfits, or dressy classics, everything looks magical under the oaks.
