Santa Bubba

This was my very first year working with Santa Bubba, and I truly can’t imagine a better Santa experience. He’s a retired first responder with many years of dedicated service, and you can feel that same warmth, patience, and kindness in the way he interacts with every single child.

Last year, my first attempt at Santa sessions was a complete flop — not a single booking — and Santa Bubba was incredibly understanding and supportive as I navigated my confidence (and booking) struggles. He made what could have been a discouraging start feel so much more bearable, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

This year, he came to my studio for our Santa Minis, and he was phenomenal. He was sweet, gentle, and so personable with every family. Not a single tear was shed all day — which every photographer knows is nothing short of a Christmas miracle! He took his time with each child, helped them feel comfortable, and created the kind of magical, joyful moments you hope for during the holidays.

He also allows you to choose from multiple Santa attire options, and truly looks the part in every single one. The authenticity is unmatched.

If you want an incredible Santa experience — one filled with warmth, magic, and genuine connection — I cannot recommend Santa Bubba enough. Book him if you want the kind of Santa that makes the season unforgettable.

We hired Santa Bubba for 4 hours of mini Santa sessions. From the start his communication was perfect. He arrived 15 minutes early to our event which was just enough time to go over our agenda. Santa was polite, soft spoken and fantastic with the kids. The parents loved him and his attire was so authentic. We worked well together all day and we are proud to say, out of 12 kids including 3 babies none of them cried or were affraid to meet Santa Bubba. Santa brought along a few props as well. His magical key was very impressive and interesting and A tin of small gifts for the kids to choose a sticker bracelet or bookmark after their session was complete. Santa was patient and silly with all this kids and had great facial expressions for our photo sessions. I would highly recommend Santa Bubba to anyone looking for an easy going super “real” Santa. No question could stump Santa! The kids all loved meeting him as did I and the parents. Thank you for doing an amazing job, I can’t wait till work together again next year.

Santa Bubba was amazing. He communicated with me before hand, was on time, and kept the attention of 20 something little ones. The children and adults loved having him at the party and I would not hesitate to welcome him to our home again. We sincerely appreciate your time, patience with the kids, and preparation. All of the guests commented at how great Santa Bubba was, especially the kids. Thank you for making our Christmas party that much more magical for everyone this year. Have a very happy holiday season!

Santa Bubba was a great addition to our family brunch! He had a nice list, a bell, pictures of the reindeer and even called his elves from the North Pole! He was so nice to the kids (and adults too!) and made the experience unforgettable! We highly recommend him!

From the first contact to the final goodbye, Santa Bubba was incredibly kind and easy to work with. The kiddos were enraptured as he read a book, dispelled doubts with evidence of the universal key, the global tracking system and a call with his top elf!
Highly recommend asking Santa Bubba to be a part of any celebration!
