"Tina is a wonderful person who created beautiful photos for my family! She even had an easy way to choose and personalize Christmas cards using the photos which came out gorgeous! Such a great experience all around. Can’t wait for future sessions with Tina as our family grows!"
- Elizabeth O.
The Christmas magic starts with a special letter sent to your home. You arrive to the studio. No lines. No crowds.
Santa is actually there. But this isn’t a ‘sit still and smile’ moment, it’s a genuine experience designed around your child’s comfort and joy.
Every session is child-led. Some little ones walk straight up to Santa and start talking. Some need a few minutes to warm up on their own terms. Either way, your photos with Santa capture real emotion instead of a forced smile on a stranger’s lap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should my child be fed and dressed?
A: Please arrive fully dressed and ready to go. Because sessions run back to back, the studio isn’t available as a changing area. Fed, changed, and dressed before you walk in makes for a much smoother experience for everyone and ensures your child gets every minute of their time with Santa.
Q: What if my child is shy or nervous around Santa?
A: Every session is child led and low pressure. No forced lap-sitting, no countdown to smile. Your child leads. If they need a parent nearby for confidence, come camera ready. Those moments of a child warming up to Santa? Often the most genuine Santa pictures of the day.
Q: What should we wear?
A: Festive, coordinated but not matchy works beautifully in the studio. Think rich jewel tones or neutrals such as gray, cream, or white, cozy textures, and holiday layers. You’ll receive a styling guide with your booking confirmation.
Q: Where is the studio?
A: Tina Marie Studio is located in Carrollwood Village in Tampa. Full address provided with booking confirmation. Please note the studio is located on the second floor of the shopping center. There is no elevator access. If mobility is a concern for anyone in your party, please reach out before booking.
