Our photos with Santa
Cherry Hill Programs invited us to try out the photo experience with Santa at the mall.
We usually just visit with Santa at events through the holiday season, and grab a quick (free) cellphone picture with Santa. But this experience, and the quality of the photos, has changed my mind!
At first glance, the price seemed a little high to me (and it may not be in everyone’s budget). But when compared to Christmas photos with an independent photographer, it’s WAY less expensive for the same quantity of photos.
When we arrived for our appointment, we went to the line for pre-booked guests. There is also a line for walk-up guests, so if you’re out shopping, you can just pop-in whenever is suits you.
We immediately were invited to come in and talk to Santa. He was probably the best Santa that we’ve visited. He was so authentic and engaging. The kids were laughing and enjoying the questions and stories with Santa.
It was so obvious that he loves doing this and wasn’t just following a script.
Taking the photos
The photographer did such a good job getting the best photos. She rearranged how they were sitting and had them straighten out clothing that needed adjusted.
They did a couple of different poses so we’d have a few options. She was even able to coax a bigger smile out of the one that can be more reserved for photos.
By the time my kids were done talking to Santa, the photos were printed for us to take home. And they turned out so well!

Visits are FREE with Santa
It’s also important to note that you can visit with Santa at these locations without getting photos! Kids are always welcome to walk up and just talk to Santa with no charge! You only pay if you want photos taken (parents aren’t permitted to take their own photos).
If you have toddlers who are unsure about visiting with Santa, this is a GREAT way to introduce them to Santa without the pressure of getting a perfect photo. They can stay as far away as they want, or talk to him from the comfort of your arms.
So if you aren’t sure how your child will do with Santa, take him for a visit before you book a package. For the very timid child, it may work better if you just “happen upon” Santa at the mall and suggest a quick visit to say hi.
