If you have been following my recent blog and Facebook posts you are aware that I have been working on a new set that I am quite excited about. It’s not just the set, although it has turned our better than I expected, but it is the whole concept I am working with that has me excited. I’m purposely not showing you a sample just yet as Santa won’t arrive at his Elmsdale Workshop until later this month. But once he arrives and I have some awesome samples to show you I guarantee you will be amazed!
The premise of The Ultimate Childhood Experience is to provide a child or siblings with some “up close and personal time” with the real Santa Claus in his workshop! I am talking about being greeted by his numero uno Elf when they arrive and then 30 – 45 minutes with the big guy! Just imagine your child having a “child to Santa” conversation about the North Pole, Mrs. Claus and the rest of the elves, his route on Christmas Eve, what they want for Christmas and who knows what else their little minds might ask? Maybe they’ll even get to help Santa put the finishing touches on a toy but they WILL get to share milk and cookies with the jolly old soul! Think about how you would have felt having that experience. Do you think you would still remember – I do. Do you still remember sitting on Santa’s knee in the mall – I don’t.
Of course while all of this is happening I will be there creating timeless images of this unbelievable childhood dream. And I’m not talking about your normal photographs – no, not even close. These images are part photograph, part painting, part illustration – not just some of them – ALL of them!
In my next blog post I’ll talk about how you will preserve the experience through portraits and albums. These will become a part of your Christmas decor every year for the rest of your life, your child’s life and possibly the lives of their children – true heirlooms.
