THE BOOKING PROCESS
THE SANTA EXPERIENCE NB
What to expect once you choose your date and time slot for the Christmas in July promotion.
Expect and email as soon as you book that will direct you to back to the F.A.Q. page if you haven't already read it. Bookmark that page for when we begin to get closer to when you want to plan for your photography experience.
This FAQ page will give you different ideas on how to dress, the actual approach we take, what this year's set is going to include, and what is available for different products and the value of each.
You will hear from me, Gabe at least a month before your time slot date to go over any details you will need to get the most out of this experience. The pictures are the bonus if your children still believe in the magic of Christmas.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Hands down the most magical Santa experience ever! I️ was in tears from the moment the doors opened up and the snow starting falling. The memories we made this evening will warm my heart for years to come and you can’t put a price on that!! I can’t even begin to describe the smiles I saw, laughter I heard or the way their eyes lit up - I can’t wait to see ALL the pictures!!”
- Roxana de luna-Gonzalez
Available October Dates:
PLAN EARLY AND SAVE!
We are only offering (10) sessions in October and they will take place October 25 and 26, 2025.
If there is more of an interest in embracing the Christmas season during Halloween to ensure an album and wall art collection can be on your walls for Thanksgiving then we can add more time slots.
The focus of D. Gabriel Studios is "The Santa Experience NB" and our Christmas season begins earlier than most places. We customize these sessions to each family. Some of the past stories, touch the heart.
This is for all the early planners and those that want to get it out of the way. Do you want to be able to use "Santa told you to be good, do good in school etc etc" for a longer period of time?
This also allows plenty of time for any wall art or albums to be designed and shipped back to us so we can ship to you. By booking either of these two time slots in October we can handover these items in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
*Booking any available time slot in July are going to have the biggest savings.*

PLANNING AHEAD!
November 1st is the "official" Christmas season for our studio. This is for those that want to get ahead of the chaos and begin their Christmas checklist. November is when we are the busiest.
During our "Christmas in July" promotion only a couple dates will be released and then the remaining dates will be released the Sunday the week before at 6pm.
Any premium album or wall art I cannot promise it will be ready in time for Christmas if your time slot takes place after after Saturday November 8, 2025. This is cutting it close if you are trying to have a new Christmas storybook album for Christmas Day.
Get your Christmas story out of the way early and plan your Thanksgiving and Christmas without the stress of having to book a set of portraits.
Send your Christmas cards out by Thanksgiving by planning. Save on specific dates.
These time slots will go quick.
We will have limited space

SANTA'S SEASON!
At the moment we have two dates that we have confirmed and then our season will be concluded with Santa.
Any albums or wall art WILL NOT arrive in time for Christmas or New Years.
Receiving the images back with enough time to make Christmas cards might be pushing it. Booking now you are ok with the images or album arriving at Christmas or after. This is a great time for Santa for the experience alone!
Parents you don't have to enter the living room if you don't want to. Surprise your kids if you want to, just dress them accordingly. This is one of the best things your kids can experience when they are young year after year. This is your new holiday tradition.
