Your little ones deserve more than a rushed photo on Santa's lap at the mall. These Santa mini sessions in Nashville, TN are a private, one-on-one experience where your children can actually visit with Santa, share their Christmas wishes, and soak in the magic of the season while I capture every genuine smile, wide-eyed reaction, and sweet moment in between.
This is a one day only event on Saturday, November 7th, 2026 at Studio Ivoire in Franklin, Tennessee.
Spots are limited and go fast, so if you're reading this and sessions are still available, grab your time slot now.
This special Santa mini session event will take place at the beautiful Studio Ivoire in Franklin, Tennessee. This natural light, elegant indoor studio creates the perfect setting for warm, timeless Santa photos your family will treasure for years to come. And because we're indoors, this event happens rain or shine.
Santa Scott has been bringing holiday magic to families for over 50 years. He's patient, warm, and genuinely wonderful with children of all ages. Whether your toddler runs straight into his arms or needs a few minutes to warm up, Santa Scott knows exactly how to make every child feel comfortable and special.
Each family will have 15 minutes of private time with Santa. That's plenty of time for your children to visit with Santa, share their Christmas wishes, and take photos together. We'll capture candid moments, sweet interactions, and posed portraits for the whole family too.

We had the best experience!! Dolly did family photos and smash cake photos for our son’s 1st birthday. She was so sweet and so patient with us. She booked the studio for us so it was all such an easy experience! Even my husband said it was an enjoyable experience - high praise from a dad!

Dolly has captured some amazing moments for my family through the years! She is extremely professional and made our family sessions a breeze (which isn’t always easy with 3 young kids!!) From newborn sessions and milestones to cake smash shoots and Christmas photos, I’m forever grateful for the beautiful keepsake shots she captured for us. Our photos turn out truly amazing every time! 💗

Dolly is an absolute dream to work with, starting from first contact with her to gallery day! She is incredibly responsive and professional. She actually responded with a personal video she made when I first contacted her, literally within minutes of my email, which was a wonderful touch!

Hi, I'm Dolly, and I'm a Nashville and Franklin family photographer who believes every family deserves beautiful holiday photos without the stress. I created these Santa mini sessions because I know how chaotic the holiday season can get, and I wanted to give families a simple, joyful way to capture this season with their little ones.
Santa Scott has been bringing Christmas magic to families for over 50 years, and Studio Ivoire is one of the most beautiful natural light studios in Franklin. Together, we've created an experience your family will look forward to every single year. I can't wait to photograph yours!
