"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.
Your little one meets Santa. This isn’t a ‘sit still and smile’ moment. it’s a genuine experience designed around your child’s comfort and joy.
For littles who aren’t quite sure about Santa yet, the Petite session is designed to meet them where they are at. For kids who are ready to dive straight into the cookies and conversation, the Milk + Cookies session delivers the full magical experience.
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 the sessions are 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 (and happier) experience for everyone. And it ensures your little gets to spend all of their allotted time with Santa.
Q: What if my child is shy or nervous around Santa?
A: That’s exactly what the Petite session is designed for. Five minutes of low-pressure magic. 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, 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 Tampa. Full address provided with booking confirmation.
