Our Beautiful Santa Claus Themes
Introduced in 2021, “Santa’s Enchanted Forest” was a big hit! We were so excited to have a beautiful setting in the woods, with frosty trees in a pretty park-like setting. We had all of our favorite activities with Santa Claus including:
- Santa’s Magic Book
- Santa’s Magical Toy Bag
- Magic Snowball Fight
- Santa’s Magic Flying Sled
- The Nice List
- Milk & Cookies with Santa
- Santa’s Magic Globe
- Presents for each child
- Snacks and treats
And Santa brought Frosty the Snowman with him too! All that, and much more!

The Best Santa Experience and Cystic Fibrosis
As we’ve done every year since 2016, The Best Santa Experience raises money for Cystic Fibrosis. Each client makes a donation of $75 or more to Cystic Fibrosis. In addition, “Elves” Joannie & Michael donate a portion of the custom print orders to CF as well. It’s our way of helping to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Over the years we’ve raised many thousands of dollars for CF!
Our godchild, Lindsey, had Cystic Fibrosis. Unfortunately, in June of 2022, Lindsey lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis. So our plan is for all of our Santa Claus Portraits, both now and in the future, we will be raising monies to be donated to Cystic Fibrosis in Lindsey’s memory. Let’s hope they can find a cure for CF soon so that other families will not have to go through what Lindsey’s family has endured.
These magical Heirloom Santa Claus Portraits and incredible Santa Storybooks will be cherished for generations to come and they’re so much fun to create too! We hope to see you in November 2025! – M&J
Client Testimonials About “The Best Santa Experience” at Michael Anderson Photography:
“Mike and Joannie sure do The Best Santa Experience right! Our kids both look forward to meeting Santa at the Anderson house every year. Each session is personalized for our kids and even Mike and Joannie get involved in the experience by dressing up! Santa is GREAT at interacting with the kids and each session is not rushed at all.
Easton and Morgan find out that they’re on Santa’s “nice” list!
