So one day I get this phone call from a potential client (and now friend) asking if I do photo shoots with Santa. Of course I said sure! Never being one to turn down a potentially great business idea, I set out on a search for our Santa. The biggest thrill for me was actually getting to decorate for Christmas. You see I am Jewish, and this was my first ever Christmas tree. I was hoping to achieve the concept of a special time with Santa, not the "you will shoot your eye out kid" moment at the mall. We were operating on short notice, so I really didn't expect the huge turnout this year. Besides that, my online ad and invite didn't have any pictures to really explain what I had in mind.
Santa arrived on schedule and so did the snow. Just the perfect amount, enough to make it a beautiful day, and the streets drivable. What we had was I think the first of many Christmas photo sessions with Santa in the future. I had some great "models" and I think the results will serve to show people what I was talking about, and make them want to sign up for next year. I am finding that in these uncertain economic times, it pays to get creative and try new things. I am always trying to think of new creative ideas to my clients. Something that perhaps no one else has thought of (although I am convinced that no thought is totally new). Here are some of the results. Please leave your comments. And if anyone sees the Easter Bunny, find out if he has a weekend available sometime in late March for a photo shoot!
