Surprise visit from Santa | Southern Middle Tennessee Child Photographer

Sunday afternoon I had a session scheduled at the barn and since I was going to be there anyway, I thought it would be a good time to have a little Christmas shoot with our kiddos.  I don’t seem to ever take photos of them anymore, so I thought it would be a good idea to actually schedule a shoot. We  We had been there for just a few minutes when guess who arrived?!

The kids were so excited! Stewart quickly sat down beside him and starting telling him what he wanted for Christmas.  Surprisingly, he only had two things on his list!

 Next it was Molly’s turn.  Her list was a little longer! ;-)

 Miss Elizabeth waited patiently, but when it was her turn she went right to it.  She wasted no time telling Santa what she hoped to find under the tree Christmas morning.

My friend Chris who is also a photographer always has Santa sessions at his house and we go there to visit Santa.  With building a new house, Chris decided things were just too hectic this year and didn’t have Santa sessions.  We didn’t know how or when we were going to get to see him.  I guess Santa knew of our dilemma because he came to see us. Before he left he told the kids that Jasper our elf would soon be arriving to watch them until Christmas.  Stewart promised to leave some cookies and milk for Santa and apples and carrots for his reindeer.

What a magical afternoon!  The kids were buzzing about Santa’s visit the rest of the afternoon, and they can’t wait for Jasper to arrive!

And just a little advanced notice... I do plan to have Santa sessions next year at the barn!
