Santa mini photoshoot in amsterdam

Twenty minutes with the big man from the North Pole, right here in A'dam.

Studio sessions with Santa

Every year I get told my moms that they have been BEGGING for Santa to visit the Netherlands. And as an expat mom myself, I'm so glad I can provide that little piece of tradition during the holidays. I do 20 minute sessions to really let kids get their time with Santa. 

My Santa is also fluent in Spanish, so please let me know if your child would prefer Spanish or English.

Because keeping those Christmas traditions alive is just as important as making new traditions. We tell our kids that Sinterklaas and Santa Claus are cousins, working together to spread joy everywhere. 

We enjoyed our Christmas photoshoot a lot with Sim! She was very welcoming and the results were fantastic.

Sim did the Christmas photoshoot for our family. We were very happy both with the interaction with her (professional and very quick in responding, delivering our gallery, and accommodating our needs with a 9 months old baby) and with the beautiful results. If you like a simple and clean style that enhances the natural beauty of your family, Sim is definitely a great choice!

Common Questions about your Santa Session

Q

&

A

Some kids are just don't like him. They cry, they scream, and we don't force them to sit with Santa if they don't want to. We can keep mom close, or we can just let them play on the floor with the wooden Christmas train if they prefer to do that. 

What if my kid hates santa

No! This isn't Santa at the Mall. You book Santa as a family. You can choose to upgrade to more images after receiving your gallery if you'd like. You are also welcome to book back to back sessions so you get more time. I will give you a discount if you want to do this, so let me know!

Do we pay extra for more children?

I send you a special Christmas style guide with plenty of color combinations and outfit suggestions! You can also wear pajamas if you'd like!

What do we wear?

Due to the fast paced nature of these studio mini sessions, if you do want to bring a pet, please let me know in advance and we can schedule you last in the line up, so that we can remove the white rug and make some pet-friendly adjustments. 

Are pets allowed?

I blend documentary storytelling with fine art softness—bringing a sense of calm and reverence to every session. My work is quiet, elegant, and emotionally rich. I’ve photographed newborns across Amsterdam and the Netherlands, with families who value natural connection and simplicity.
