Your Child’s Magical Christmas Eve Experience Includes:

A SPECIAL LETTER FROM SANTA

As soon as you book your session, the Santa adventure begins with a delightful surprise! 

Your child will receive an enchanting invitation personally addressed to them from the one and only Santa Claus himself from the North Pole. Inside, nestled with care, they will discover two things: a tinkling bell which is a cherished memento from Santa's very own sleigh and a golden invitation to have milk and cookies with Santa. Be sure that your child brings this very special invitation with them to their session!

MEETING SANTA

To enhance the nostalgic essence of your final artwork, we provide handmade pajamas and nightgowns for your kids to wear on Christmas Eve with Santa. We supply everything and each meticulous detail has been considered to elevate the ambiance of the set and contribute to the timeless quality of the artwork we will craft for you.  It's truly an enchanting experience as your children immerse themselves in the moment, blissfully unaware that their photos are being taken. There's no need for them to pose or put on forced smiles for the camera; our images effortlessly narrate the captivating tale of their visit, portraying them joyfully engaged in the festivities from a distance. We believe that the genuine moments of fun and laughter are what truly encapsulate the spirit of Christmas. The process of photographing the experience can take between an hour to an hour and half depending on the ease of the children.

A GIFT FROM SANTA

During the session, Santa Claus will present your child with a gift that will forever hold a place in their hearts: A magical box and a wish book! This is a tangible keepsake where your child can express their hopes and dreams in their own handwriting. There is even a place where fathers, mothers, grandmothers, and grandfathers can write their own words of wisdom for your child to read and hold close. With this gift, long after the session, the magic of Christmas and Santa will always be near.

Dear Pensive, Perspective, Pondering and/or Potential Customers of Mr. John Nader's Photography, 

Words cannot express the utmost appreciation, awe, and authentic wonderment my family was blessed to experience via the John Nader's Santa Photography Experience this past December 2022. From the beginning, Nader’s professional communication was appreciated. He reached out to our family to accommodate our schedule and ensure that all information was established for the preparation of our Santa Experience. Prior to the day of the event, our boys (15-year-old high school teen, Bradley and 6-year-old elementary 1^st grader, Christopher) received a beautiful golden invitation delivered from Santa in our home's mailbox. The boys were uncertain how to take such a tangible, receivable notification via US mail; one with golden plush protection to emphasize the importance of the special invitation from Santa. It wasn't a text, a video, or a digital message, but a real, bright and shiny invitation individually addressed to each of them. We proudly propped the invitation on our mantle to remind them that they were special and invited to something magical!

The day of event, we arrived with angst, lots of real-world priorities, deadlines and school-based assignments in need of addressing before the end of the semester and our own, business-related fiscal year reports, etc.. However, after making it through the traffic, the warm lights of League City's humble main street's drive, beautifully decorated for the Christmas season reminded us of the December days we were racing through. Finally, we arrived at a business building and entered a foyer inviting our family, and only our family, via a welcoming greeter. There was Christmas music, sweet treats, and drinks. The boys were excited to be so warmly welcomed!

When Mr. Nader joined us in the foyer, he expressed how he just knew we were in the right place; because our boys had the unique, golden envelopes and more importantly, the individualized invitations addressed to each child specifically requesting their presence and attendance to meet Santa himself.

Mr. Nader, in a professional and pleasant voice, welcomed our family and asked for our attentive silence as our family entered the doors into a Winter Whimsical Workshop that brought us closer into Santa's World.Without unveiling too much of the magical experience that unfolded naturally, please know that not only were our high school/teenage and elementary/six-year-old boys in awe of the breathtaking world they tip-toed into, their father and I felt like mere children again at the sight of Santa's workshop and vivid presence. From the delicious cookies and milk, to discovering their names on the Naughty or Nice list, our boys left all worldly woes, wishes and worn chores behind as they delved into the heartfelt moments that Santa brought to them. 

Throughout the experience their father smiled warmly, and I teared up with true happiness as we watched our boys journey through the essence of goodness. Meanwhile, Mr. Nader, seamlessly shadowed and orchestrated their encounters as he quietly captured each moment through the art of photography. 

Mr. Nader, from start to finish and beyond, dedicated his time, talent, and touch of artistic passion to our family and memories.  He went to great lengths to provide a magical experience that our boys, and yes, we the parents, cannot ever find any verbal language to describe in appreciation and awe.Thankfully, Mr. Nader's talented skills of poetic photography and prose brought our boys an extra, special delivery on Christmas Day.  

Meeting Santa that night, unbeknownst to our boys (caught up in eating cookies and making toys in his workshop), had the most masterful captured pictures of each story-book experience forever imprinted in a book from Santa under the Christmas tree. 

From the breathtaking, full photo Christmas cards, ornaments, and golden framed artwork and masterful artistic pieces, our boys forever have a story, sincere experience, and special book beyond worlds and words that captured the night they magically met and manifested with Santa.

Our family loved seeing the boys open their books, read the story, and recount their real-life experiences that night as they shared each picture and image Christmas day with our friends and family.

This gift is a gracious blessing that allowed our family to pause during the season's busiest time of year and slow down to enjoy the essence of childhood, wonderment, and God's grace through Mr. Nader’s artistic and naturalist Tableau of a winter wonderment, lens, and legacy. Thank you!
