Does This Sound Like You?
You want to offer Santa Minis, but you have no idea where to start or what to do first.
You spend hours creating emails, prep guides, and marketing materials instead of actually running your business.
You're nervous about photographing children who are shy, scared, or unwilling to sit with Santa.
You want your Santa experience to feel magical and high-end, but you're not sure how to make it different from everyone else's.
You're overwhelmed by all the little details, from booking and client communication to session day and gallery delivery.
You want families to return year after year, but you're not sure how to turn a one-time Santa Mini into an unforgettable holiday tradition.
"Back in 2016, I was seriously struggling to book my Santa Minis..."
I was working 16-hour days, pricing too cheap, and dealing with crying kids and chaotic setups. But once I rebuilt my entire system—from pre-session questionnaires and high-end sets to Santa rehearsals and post-session print ordering—everything clicked.
This workshop gives you the exact blueprint I developed through trial and error over 10+ years, allowing you to skip the stress and build a high-profit signature holiday offering.
