Santa photos in La Mirada.
A Santa photo station is a seat for Santa and Mrs. Claus with a backdrop behind it, placed inside a holiday event so families can queue and pose together. This page on santa photos in La Mirada describes where the station can go, how to build a line around it, and what Carnival Fun Experts puts nearby. Booking is by event, and the smallest custom one Carnival Fun Experts quotes begins at about $1,500.
La Mirada has several places to set a station. A carnival at La Mirada Regional Park or Creek Park can put it at the end of a loop, an audience leaving La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts can walk to one outside, and a school in Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District can add one to a winter night.
Carnival Fun Experts provides Santa, Mrs. Claus and the backdrop. The host settles the space and date with the venue or the city.
Santa and Mrs. Claus, set up in La Mirada.
The set is a wooden sleigh with Santa seated in it and Mrs. Claus next to him. Behind them stands a balloon arch in red, green and white with peppermint balloons, and a sign marks the Christmas Carnival. Families come up, pose, and leave by a different route than they arrived, which keeps the queue from knotting at the sleigh.
A line is easier to stand in with something nearby. A few striped booths of ring toss, bottle ring and milk can toss keep children busy, and a concession stand sells churros or popcorn at the tail of the queue. A host with a bigger space can run the station inside a full carnival, and a host with a church lot can pair it with just two booths. The walk-in snow globe inflatable gives a second backdrop if the host wants one.
What's typically included.
