Choose Your Santa Session

Santa will be visiting the studio for three dates only: November 14, November 15 and November 22.

Choose your date and time from the calendar below to reserve your session.

Sessions are booked first come, first served.

Nine Years of Santa Magic

This will be our ninth year creating Santa magic at Rylan’s Riches, and somehow it gets sweeter every year.

I’ve watched babies who once cried in Santa’s lap grow into big kids who run through the door ready to tell him everything on their Christmas list. I’ve watched nervous little ones slowly warm up while Santa gives them the space they need. And I’ve watched parents realize somewhere along the way that these aren’t just Santa pictures anymore.

They’re little pieces of their kids’ childhood.

That’s what I want these sessions to feel like.

Not a rushed stop for a photo with Santa. Not standing in a long line at the mall.

Just a little pocket of Christmas magic that your family gets to keep.

F.A.Q.

Are there refunds?

Santa session bookings are non-refundable.

While tears can happen, I’ll do everything I can to capture images you’ll love. If you’re unable to attend, you are welcome to gift your session to another family.

How many outfits can we wear?

One outfit per child. Sessions are short and designed to keep things stress-free and on schedule.

Can we take a family photo without Santa?

All photos with the basic Santa Session include Santa. You are able to upgrade your session to include family only.

Can we combine sessions with cousins or friends?

Santa sessions are for immediate family only.

If you’d like a photo with cousins, friends, or another family, you’ll need to book two sessions back to back.

If you have more than four children and want individual images of each, booking two slots is also recommended to give us enough time.

What if we’re sick and can’t come?

Unfortunately, because Santa sessions are limited and sell out quickly, we can’t offer full refunds or reschedules for illness. Please fill free to gift your session to someone.

Can we switch to a different Santa day if something comes up?

Unfortunately, session dates are locked in and cannot be swapped.
Santa keeps a tight schedule, and I carefully time sessions to stay on track.—so we’re unable to accommodate day or time changes once your spot is reserved.

Where is your studio located?

The studio is in Smyrna, TN. Full address and directions will be sent in your prep email once you’re booked. Please allow time for parking and arriving a few minutes early.

Can we arrive early to change or feed baby?

Yes! You’re welcome to arrive 5–10 minutes early if you need to get your child dressed or settle them in. We do stay on a tight schedule, so please be dressed and ready by your session time.

Can I bring my dog?

Unfortunately, no pets are permitted at Santa sessions. With so many families and little ones coming through throughout the day, we have to be mindful of allergies, children who may be afraid of dogs, and keeping the sets clean and safe for everyone. We love your furry family members, but for Santa sessions, we ask that they stay home!
