Scheduling tips for Happy, Cooperative Kids
Optimizing your schedule is key to capturing genuine joy during Santa sessions. Consider these timings for the best results, but also keep in mind that you know your children best and disregard if these general tips don’t fit your family.
-
Times to Avoid:
-
Right before nap time (for example, approximately 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM for toddlers).
-
Immediately after nap time, before a snack.
-
Late afternoon or evening hours.
-
Within 30-45 minutes of scheduled mealtimes.
-
-
Age-Based Tips:
-
Newborns - 1yr: Schedule sessions around their feeding and sleep cycles if they have established patterns.
-
1-3 years: This age group has the tightest scheduling needs. Mornings typically, within an hour of waking or after their nap and snack, are best.
-
3-5 years: More flexible, but a fed and unhurried start to the day still yields the best results
-
5+ years: Generally the most flexible; afternoons can work well.
-
Siblings: Schedule your session around the best time of day for the child who is most likely to need a little extra patience. This is often the youngest sibling, depending on their age, but you know your children best!

Recommendation: Children aged 8 months to 3 years often benefit most from the full 30-minute Santa Experience. This allows for the necessary warm-up time with an unfamiliar person, leading to more relaxed and genuine photographs rather than forced smiles.
