🎅 SANTA PHOTOS · ROLLING HILLS ESTATES, CA

Santa photos in Rolling Hills Estates.

A Santa photo station is a seat, a backdrop and a line for Santa and Mrs. Claus, so each family leaves with a picture of the two of them. For santa photos in Rolling Hills Estates, Carnival Fun Experts builds the station into a holiday event with booths and concessions near it, and does not sell Santa as a single appearance.

A host in Rolling Hills Estates can bring the station to Ernie Howlett Park, to the grounds near George F Canyon Nature Center, or to a school in Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District. Sites such as Peninsula Center and Promenade on the Peninsula have owners who would need to agree to a date.

Carnival Fun Experts supplies Santa and Mrs. Claus, the photo-op station and the holiday balloon arch, with booths and concessions placed around the line.

WHAT THEY USUALLY LOOK LIKE

Putting a Santa station into a Rolling Hills Estates event.

Think of the station as the last stop in a short walk. Guests enter under the red-and-white balloon arch, with its candy canes, peppermint balloons and gingerbread figures, pass a few striped booths and a concession booth, and arrive at the photo-op station where Santa and Mrs. Claus sit together. Families step up in turn. The host picks the edge of the site where the line forms, whether that is along a hedge, a curb or a row of booths.

Photos can be handled two ways. A family can use its own phone, which keeps the line moving as fast as people want it to. The host can also add the photographer Carnival Fun Experts offers, so one camera covers each family and the host can hand out one set of pictures. While families wait, children can try a game at a nearby booth or look through the walk-in snow globe inflatable. A park with open lawn can seat the station at the far end, and a paved lot can seat it beside the entrance.
