Santa Sessions in North Houston & The Woodlands | Mindy Larson Photography

October 1, 2026

2026 Santa Mini Sessions

The excitement when they first see Santa.
The little pause before deciding if they’re ready.
The wonder when Santa pulls out the nice list and they realize their name is actually on it.

These are the moments that make Christmas so special.

Each year, I create a handful of thoughtfully designed Santa experiences for little ones and their families. Beautiful settings, a little Christmas magic, and plenty of room for your child to experience Santa in their own way.

There’s no right way to experience Santa.

Some children run straight to him.

Some need a little time.

and some share a list a mile long.

That’s okay.

There is no pressure to perform or pose perfectly. I want your child to have room to take it all in, warm up, and enjoy the experience at their own pace.

Sometimes the sweetest photographs happen in the moments you didn’t plan.


Choose Your Santa Experience

Three holiday experiences are available this year, each with its own little bit of magic.

Santa’s Workshop

November 8, 2026 · Porter, Texas

NEW FOR 2026

A slower, more interactive Santa experience for little ones who want time to settle in and enjoy the magic.

Your child will spend time with Santa while checking the nice list, sharing their Christmas wishes, and building a moose stuffed animal to take home!

It’s a little more time together. A little more to do. And a wonderful way to make Santa feel like part of their Christmas story.

Santa in the Studio

November 14, 2026 · Porter, Texas

A cozy, classic Santa experience in my warm, natural-light studio.

Your little one will have time to meet Santa, find their name on the nice list, and take home a Christmas ornament and a little treat from Santa.

Simple. Sweet. Full of Christmas spirit.

Santa with the Vintage Truck

SOLD OUT

Thank you to all of the families who reserved a spot this year. ❤️

This favorite holiday experience pairs Santa with a vintage Christmas truck for a timeless Christmas setting. Kiddos check the nice list, throw some snowballs at Santa if their feeling brave and take home an ornament and treat.

Christmas Tree Farm Family Sessions

November 1, 2026 · Magnolia, Texas

Not every Christmas memory needs Santa.

Sometimes it’s simply your family, cozy layers, rows of evergreens, and a little time together.

Come ready to wander, snuggle, play, and enjoy a little time together.

These sessions are designed to feel natural and easy, with beautiful portraits that still feel like your family.

What happens if my child doesn’t want to sit with Santa?

That’s okay. We never want a child to feel pressured. Your child can interact with Santa in whatever way feels comfortable, and I’ll photograph those genuine moments along the way.

When will I receive my portraits?

Proof galleries are typically ready approximately two weeks after your session. Once you’ve selected your images, final galleries are generally delivered within one week.

Where are the Santa Sessions located?

Santa Sessions take place in Porter, Texas, serving families throughout North Houston, The Woodlands, Kingwood, and surrounding communities.

The Christmas Tree Farm Family Sessions take place in Magnolia, Texas.

What Should My Child Wear?

For the Studio Santa Sessions, there really is no wrong answer. ❤️

Christmas pajamas, a sweet holiday dress, a little suit, cozy knits, or even something a bit more formal — all of it works beautifully. Choose something that feels like your child and fits the kind of Christmas memories you want to remember.

For the Christmas Tree Farm Family Sessions, I recommend classic family holiday attire with coordinating colors and cozy layers. Think sweaters, dresses, denim, boots, and soft neutral or earthy tones that complement the natural setting.

Most importantly, choose something your family feels comfortable and happy in. The best photographs happen when everyone can relax and enjoy being together.


✨ What I love most about these sessions is that they’re more than just photos, they’re memories in the making. From the sparkle in their eyes when they see Santa to the giggles when they find their name on the nice list, these are the moments that make the season so special. ❤️

I can’t wait to celebrate this magical season with you ❤️
