Hosts who book a Santa Claus in New York City for stills want a clear path, a tree that is not smashed against a wall, and a seat — santa photos, not a production that takes over the apartment.
Santa photos in a living room
A santa photo session in New York City is a tree, a seat, and a phone that is not backlit against a window. Hire Santa for a photo shoot by naming the room. Upper West Side parlors, Park Slope living rooms, and Astoria apartments all work if the path from the door is clear. Keep pets off the set unless they are in the shot on purpose. The next family should not be standing on the tree skirt.
Santa for photo shoot nights go faster when one adult runs the line. He sits. You move people. Santa chair photos are the look when you want a seat in the frame. We can help arrange a chair locally when callers ask. We do not own a chair in New York. No price, delivery, or size claims on this page. The empty gold chair in these pictures is a set, not a rental list.
Chair, backdrop, and a small room
The second photo is the same kind of set from another angle: gold frame, red back, gifts on the floor. In a one-bedroom the chair has to fit without blocking the only exit. Midtown studios and Financial District boxes need a wall, not a full workshop. Brooklyn Heights and Carroll Gardens parlors can take a tree and a seat if the hallway stays open. Long Island dens in Merrick and Massapequa have more floor. Say the room size on the call.
Light, beard, and the hour
Tree lights read warmer than overhead. Close stills want the real beard. Traditional suit is the lower-cost option. We will not call it a natural beard. A santa photo session with toddlers should be short. Grandparents in town? Say so. December Saturdays go first. A Sunday morning in mid-December is easier.
Keep the set inside. Cold gray afternoons are common. Snow turns to slush at the curb. Wind off the river will wreck an uncovered stoop. Coats on the hall hooks. A wreath on the apartment door. That is enough backdrop.
How to book the stills
Date, address, indoor room, headcount, and whether you want a chair in the frame. If you want a chair, ask when you call and we can help arrange one locally. Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, and Midwood houses have more floor than a Murray Hill studio. Sean Michaels takes the calls. Santa photos in New York City still end in a clock and a path from the door.
Call with the borough or the Long Island town. A house stop with stills still starts as Santa home visits. Call (347) 990-2461
