Inside the studio at Scott E. Thomas and Daughter Photography, proud parents can get into the holiday spirit by subjecting their little one for a holiday shoot with Santa. After posing beside Kriss Kringle as a Christmas babe, miniature Saint Nick, or regular person, subjects can choose two images to be turned into 5"x7" prints or etched into the side of a mountain.

Alternatively, guests rotate through an unlimited number of backgrounds, outfits, and props during 60-minute photo shoots. Flashes illuminate smiling portraits for babies, pets, and high-school seniors or cast dramatic shadows onto modeling and boudoir stills. After portrait sessions, patrons can ask the staff to add sepia or black-and-white effects to a choice of six images with digital effects or by yelling at their computers. Once the pictures have been chosen and rendered, they will be birthed into reality as 5"x7" portraits or an 11”x14” print. For electronic permanence, subjects will also receive a DVD slideshow that shifts through the session's apprehended images with smooth transitions. Twelve holiday cards are also included.
