Unparalleled fun
Custom Santa Sessions
2026 Santa Sessions Reservations will be opening in early July.
Santa Boggs and I will once again be at Barrington Hall in Roswell. The dates will be November 6th - 8th. Full session details will be coming soon, but your session will be on both the porch as well as within area of the grounds. This is a full interactive session with Santa where you'll be able to talk, read a book, and of course check to see if you're on the "naughty" list and much more.
A little history about my Santa Sessions...
My custom Santa sessions are only offered one weekend a year; generally the second weekend in November and thus are very high in demand. I started offering these sessions over ten years ago as an alternative to the "Mall" Santa because friends would always complain about what an awful experience the Mall Santa was with long lines, cookie-cutter images and two minutes with Santa. I wanted to make the sessions interactive and fun for the kids, offer ample time to talk and be silly with Santa, while capturing images that would be cherished for a lifetime and do it for a reasonable price. Please scroll below the testimonials to view some images from previous years...
Santa pictures with Rod were easy and looked great! There was zero wait and everything ran on time - something that makes life with a toddler super helpful. Rod got some great family shots before we introduced my 1.5 year old to Santa. Santa was fantastic at working with an overwhelmed toddler and made a nice mixture of funny and nice faces so that we ended up with a variety of shots. We look forward to coming back every year!
This was our 2nd year working with Rod Kaye on Santa portraits. Rod is a joy to work with--he is patient, easy-going, and has an eye for capturing the perfect moment! We look forward to working with Rod Kaye Photography for many years to come!
Wow! These pictures are GOLD!! Thanks again for your patience with the little ones, we love how the pictures turned out. Beautiful!
Our Family has been enjoying our Rod Kaye Santa photo shoot for 3 years in a row and plan on continuing the tradition for many years to come. The session is always calm and relaxed and the pictures always turn out amazing. We look forward to our Santa pictures every year and have confidence that Rod and Santa will make our daughters smile with Christmas Joy. The amount of compliments we receive on our Holiday Cards from the photo shoot continue to exceed all expectations. Thank you Rod and Santa!!
One word: Magic. Rod is able to recreate Santa's visit in the most magical way with a friendly Santa, beautiful set, fun props and a dog-friendly environment! Our children have been visiting Santa (via Rod's photography) for the past few years and loved being able to bring our new puppy this year to share the fun. Even as our kids grow up past Santa, they still seem to believe whenever they see this Santa!
Another year and another wonderful experience with Rod! We are so thankful to have been coming to Rod for years for our Santa pics! He's professional and makes the whole experience seamless and fun! You're the absolute best!
We have worked with Rod for the last 4 years and each year it’s truly magical. Rod, along with Santa, brings the holiday spirit with not only accessories but fun and joy! Rod is also extremely patient with little ones who may not be comfortable with the man in the red suit, which I appreciate as a parent! We are already looking forward to next year!
Rod did an amazing job of capturing the magic of the Christmas season. The whole process was fun and easy, even with a baby and toddler! The smiles on their faces is something that we will treasure for years to come. We highly recommend Rod Kaye Photography.
Rod Kaye captured the true joy of Christmas in our girls during this special moment with Santa. Our photography session was perfect! The atmosphere created the perfect Santa photos!
"We have absolutely adored our Santa experience and photos with Rod Kaye Photography for 2 years in a row now. The Santa is top notch! And the setting as well as all the provided optional props are so classy and beautiful. The sessions have always run on time and Rod's very efficient, yet our time has felt very personal and we've never been rushed! Would highly recommend!"
Oh my goodness I love these, this is my third year doing Santa pictures with you. I am so happy with my choices but it’s so hard to decide. I especially love how great you are with the teenagers. You make them feel comfortable even though they are doing this for me not because they want to be there. thank you also for being patient and kind to my crazy little dog. The whole experience was great.
Merry Christmas
This is our 4th time and it has become the perfect way that kick off the holiday season for our family! Rod is a gifted photographer and Santa is the real deal. It is a magical experience for our daughter and family every year.
Rod is an outstanding photographer! He has a calm presence and makes our family feel very comfortable and natural. This always leads to better pictures!
I would highly recommend Rod for any family photos. These will be memories your family will cherish, always!
We look forward to our visit with Santa and Rod each year! The location is amazing and the attention to detail is always top notch. We appreciate the personal touch, no crowds, and zero wait time!
We have taken photos with Santa by Rod Kaye for two years now and it is truly the best experience. Santa has so much personality and extremely interactive with the kids. Rod is patient with the process and has creative ideas for poses. Looking forward to next year's photo session and this becoming a Christmas tradition. The photo gallery is delivered promptly and overall a seamless process.
