Calling All Local Photographers! 🎅✨

The Christmas season may seem far away, but now is the perfect time to begin planning for the 2026 holiday season!

I'm looking to partner with talented photographers throughout the Portland metro area to create magical Christmas experiences for families. Whether you host elegant studio sessions, cozy farmhouse minis, or beautiful outdoor holiday portraits, I'd love to be part of bringing your clients' Christmas memories to life.

A little about me...

🎅 Professional real-bearded Santa since 2022
🏡 Home studio located in Sandy, Oregon
📷 Available for family photography sessions and holiday mini sessions
💲 Affordable, flexible rates for photographers
🚗 Happy to work in my studio, your studio, or on location

I believe the best Christmas photos happen when Santa and the photographer work together as a team to create a relaxed, joyful experience for every family.

If you're looking for an authentic Santa who is professional, dependable, and loves creating genuine moments with children and families, I'd love to connect.

Feel free to send me a DM, or reach out directly:

A Big Announcement is Coming…

For the past several months, something special has quietly been taking shape here on the mountain.

Plans have been forming, ideas have been growing, and a new adventure has been slowly coming to life behind the scenes. While I’m not quite ready to share all the details just yet… I can tell you that something exciting is on the horizon.

Very soon I’ll be making a big announcement about a brand new project connected to Father Christmas of the Three Mountains and our mountain community.

It’s something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time, and I cannot wait to finally share it with you.

Stay tuned… the full announcement is coming soon.

It is uniquely peculiar to be both the most recognized character and the most anonymous figure in the world at the same time. Yet when these children are grown and think back to their experience, I am the conjured image of their childhood Christmases. I become the standard by which the real Santa is envisioned. How humbling to hold such a place in the minds and hearts of human beings.

Today I had a luncheon and end-of-season get-together with Santas and Mrs. Clauses from around the greater Portland area. It was so good to see my fellow brothers and sisters in red, hear their stories from the seasons, and celebrate together. I always look forward to our times together, seeing so many dear friends and making new ones. Our seasons may be over, but there is work going on behind the scenes year-round for these dedicated men and women of Christmas.

As the last ornaments are carefully packed away and the glow of Christmas lights fades from windows, much of the world gently shifts its focus into the New Year. For many, Christmas becomes a fond …

With Christmas wrapped up and the New Year underway, many people are packing away decorations and letting their thoughts of Christmas rest for another year. For Santa and Mrs. Claus portrayal artists, though, the season never truly ends—we simply shift our focus from the year behind us to the year ahead.

For me, this first week of the New Year has already been a wonderful start to all things Santa. I’ve spent three days in meetings totaling more than seven hours, with another session happening tomorrow, along with an in-person meet-up with a local group of Santa and Mrs. Clauses. Four of those hours were part of our annual “debrief” sessions, with another four scheduled for next week. These gatherings bring Clauses together from across the country—and around the world—to share how our seasons went: what worked well, what didn’t, and what we can learn from one another as we continue to grow and refine our craft.

Being Santa or Mrs. Claus is far more than a role—it’s a lifestyle. It’s a deliberate commitment to spreading the spirit of Christmas and helping create meaningful memories for hundreds of families each year. It’s about being an ambassador of goodwill, hope, and love, and paying careful attention to every detail along the way. This is who we are. It’s part of our very being.

As the old year slips quietly into memory and a new one dawns, I find myself filled with deep gratitude. This past year brought countless moments of joy, reflection, and connection, shared stories, gentle laughter, and sacred pauses that remind us what truly matters. Serving families and communities as Father Christmas of the Three Mountains continues to be an honor I do not take lightly.

The turning of the year is more than a date on the calendar. It is an invitation—to carry forward kindness, to tend the bonds we hold dear, and to move into the days ahead with intention and grace. May this new year bring you warmth in your home, peace in your heart, and moments of wonder that appear when you least expect them.

From my hearth to yours, I wish you a blessed, safe, and joy-filled New Year. May we meet the coming days with generosity, patience, and a little extra magic where it is needed most.

Some of the most meaningful gifts are not found wrapped in paper or tied with ribbon. They arrive in moments of kindness, in laughter shared around a table, in a hug held a little longer than usual. They live in patience shown, forgiveness offered, time given freely, and love that says, “You matter,” without ever needing to be spoken aloud.

These gifts last far longer than anything that can fit beneath a tree. If you felt warmth, connection, or hope this season, even in small ways, then you received something truly magical. May we carry those gifts forward, share them generously, and remember that the greatest treasures are the ones we give and receive with the heart.
