Santa photos
Santa's here for the Memory Makers, bringing the cherished photo experience you know and love!
Capture your photo with Santa and join in the special tradition that brings families together. With a variety of photo packages, you’ll find the perfect option to take home a memorable keepsake of this wonderful festive season. At Stockland Merrylands, we offer three types of Santa photography.
1. Traditional Santa photos
Meet Santa, strike a pose, and capture your magnificent photo! Our trained staff will ensure high-quality images and photography. You’ll be able to preview your images on our computer system and select your preferred photo(s). Your photos will be printed on the spot, so you can take them home the same day.
2. Pet photography
Our furry friends deserve a hug and a photo with Santa too! Don’t miss our popular pet photography packages at Stockland Merrylands. Whether your pet is a dog, cat, bird, or lizard, our trained team will follow safe procedures, taking extra time to avoid loud noises and sudden stimulation that could cause anxiety, ensuring your pets are well taken care of.
3. Sensitive Santa
These sessions offer a sensory-friendly environment with dimmed lights and no music, designed to allow children with special needs to access photo sessions outside of busy trading hours. This helps children ease into their meet-and-greet with Santa, providing a more comfortable experience without distractions. Santa and the team are trained to communicate with children who may experience sensitivities, ensuring each child feels safe and special.
