The Santa Experience exceeds expectations for our South Alabama families again this year. There is nothing more exciting than watching the wonder and magic of the season unfold in the eyes of your child. Our Santa Experience is like none other. The Santa Experience is private with all the cozy touches of the North Pole. How much time do you get to spend with Santa? You decide.

The Santa Experience is a once a year event. The 2019 Santa Experience is scheduled for November 23 & 24, 2019. Booking starts in July. Don't miss it!

Getting to spend some one on one time with the BIG GUY in RED right here in South Alabama is  a BIG deal to the boys and girls who come in for the Santa Experience. They take this seriously - especially the kids who come every year. They bring a detailed list. Some children draw pictures on the list for Santa too and a couple of kids bring pictures and catalogs so there is absolutely NO question as to what they want Santa to bring them for Christmas. I love when kids get to take out that list and put it in Santa's hand. There is something magical about watching Santa ask them questions about what they want and why they want it. I love that Santa always asks questions. He really assures them that he understands exactly what they are looking for.

10. Legos - batman seems to be in high demand.

9. Dolls - dolls that sleep, dolls that wet, and American Girl Dolls are HOT

8. Nintendo Switch - switch anything would be a win

7. Bike - Shiny Blues and Reds

6. Tablets - they want tiny electronics at all ages

5. Fire Truck - this classic always makes the list

4. Art kits - lots of painting and drawing

3. Slime kits - glitter slime is what they want - but what they really want is for you to make it with them. (keeping it real)

2. Dinosaurs - toys, stuffed, Jurassic Park - all of it is a win

1. Hatchimals - Big or Small they want them all. Last year I made fun of hatchimals, this year I'm buying one. Go Figure.

Remember, no mater what you give or what Santa Brings - never forget the magic of the season. It's so nice to have so many little people so full of the Christmas spirit. They really believe that anything is possible this time of year. Enjoy it. That kind of magic is contagious. Let that magic inside your heart too and try to keep it there the whole year. 

Merry Christmas.

It's not too late to create magical holiday portraits for your family. We are decked out from head to toe with Christmas thru the new year. Reach out to Ellenburg Photography for a magical experience.

As I'm putting the finishing touches on the start of a magical portrait season, I was over whelmed by a full heart and my joy for the season. Decorating for Christmas is my favorite. I take a lot of heat around my house because I really do have my tree up before Halloween. There is something magical about seeing that twinkling tree every day. It fills me joy and love and reminds me of so many wonderful memories when I walk by it. My tree is filled with ornaments hand picked out by the children and artsy things coated in glitter and popsicle sticks with polaroid snap shots. There is a keepsake from every trip we take and every BIG event that we enjoy. It's a lifetime of love and blessings.

I feel the same way when I put our family photos with Santa. My insides just turn to mush thinking about how much they have grown and changed. I stare at them and try to remember when they asked for that year from Santa. I love to celebrate Tomorrow we are creating portraits that in the years to come, will make your heart gush and your eyes get misty. I can't wait to see your babies and hear them read their list to Santa. I wonder what the hot toy will be? It's so fun to watch them ask for so many fun things.  I love watching to see the relief and excitement when they see their name on the nice list. The nice list is a BIG deal.

But if I really had to pick a favorite thing from the day - it's watching you guys - the Moms and the Dads. Seeing you enjoy the magic of Christmas adventure through the eyes of your baby is truly priceless. Tomorrow your baby will be excited. Just relax and enjoy their littleness. Littleness is gone in the blink of an eye. Hold ON tight. 

Big Thanks to everyone who booked our Santa Experience. It is truly one of my favorite things to do for you each and every year.
