Photographer Brenda Horan writes on her blog:
If you build it, they will come.... so I shopped for weeks for antiques, worked with friends to create the perfect environment and then Santa enchanted every child that showed up for these special sessions we held on Saturday.... so much so, that if you are interested, please call me because we will be booking more appointments with Santa in the coming weeks.... a fabulous time to interact with Santa that your child will never forget. We build a story book around these images (written by the talented Jessica Swift Rice) that becomes a family heirloom and worth every penny....

Below are photos from one of the sessions, and yes, that's our Santa David:
