Client Testimonials

For the past 5 years our boys have looked forward to playing with and visiting with Santa. This past year was no exception. Thank you Chris Fritchie and "Santa" for spending time with our boys and letting them still believe in the magic. If you are looking for a fun and unique experience that is not rushed and very authentic, look no further than Chris Fritchie Studios.

Our Santa session was so fun! Chris was very patient with my little ones... 4 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old. Seeing my kids actually getting to spend a little time with Santa (Playing candy land) brought tears to my eyes. Previous years we've just gone to the mall. You only have like 5 minutes with the big guy which is not near enough time for little ones to warm up at all. They especially liked having cookies with �. I know they are small and they may not remember this photo session, but I will..... and it was Fantastic!!!!

Holly M.

Our Santa session with our 5 youngest grandchildren was awesome! Santa interacted with all of them so well and was so patient. It was a wonderful experience! Plus we have irreplaceable and priceless memories with the pictures and book we purchased! I highly recommend Chris for any style of photos needed but definitely the Christmas Santa sessions while the innocence can still be captured in your children.
