This past weekend, I was blessed to photograph Santa at the Fulton Depot along with families and kids that came to visit.

Grae Studio purchased the old train depot in Fulton, MO, and has been renovating it. They do a fabulous job decorating and creating a space that anyone can come out and enjoy.

It was my first time photographing this sort of event and I absolutely loved getting to meet everyone and see the joy on (most of) the kid’s faces.

I know many of the places that photograph kids with Santa result in just one, maybe two, images from each engagement. I tried to really capture a few for each family that showed the overall experience.

Seeing a setup like this gives me a lot of great ideas for doing some mini-sessions. Perhaps I’ll have to schedule something soon.

Next weekend is photographing Santa with pets for the Callaway County Humane Society at Buchheit (formerly Orscheln) in Fulton, MO from 10-12.
