Santa photos in Whittier.
Santa photos are a staged photo spot where children and parents sit beside Santa and Mrs. Claus for a holiday picture. Santa photos in Whittier belong to a larger event, such as a school winter night, a church carnival or a neighborhood party, and the sections below explain the set, the line and where the station can sit among the booths.
A Whittier host can begin with a campus in Whittier City School District or Whittier Union High School District, or look at a site such as Greenleaf Avenue Park. The school, the district or the city confirms space and dates before anyone places the station.
Carnival Fun Experts provides Santa and Mrs. Claus, the sleigh set and the arch, then plans the rest of the event around them.
The Santa set at a Whittier event.
The set is a wooden sleigh with Santa and Mrs. Claus seated side by side, a red, green and white balloon arch curving over them with peppermint and patterned balloons, and a Christmas Carnival sign in front of a harlequin backdrop. Families queue toward the sleigh and take their own pictures on phones, one family at a time, with the next group waiting beside the arch. A host who would rather hand the camera work to someone else can book the photographer Carnival Fun Experts offers, and the two methods can run together.
Where the station goes is the host's choice. On a school lot it can claim one end of the blacktop with booths along the sides. At a church it can sit near the entrance so families meet Santa on the way in. A host can send the line past a few game booths, or keep the set apart and let guests visit the booths afterward, and the concessions can stand by the exit. An event that already has a park permit or a school facility request on file can add the set to that same plan. The set is booked inside an event only, and the smallest custom event Carnival Fun Experts quotes starts at about $1,500.
