Featured Testimonials
“What a magical experience my daughter had from start to finish!”
— Kelly W.
From the moment she received the letter about being chosen to have milk and cookies with Santa, she was ecstatic and couldn't wait to tell everyone, jumping up and down with such excitement.
The actual day was nothing short of joyful and truly magical through my daughter's eyes!
Working with John was effortless and like he wasn't even there. My daughter was so fixed on Santa and all the amazing props and trinkets around her, that she didn't even notice the camera!
Santa’s stories that he read to my daughter and his toys that she helped paint, kept her attention and a smile on her face the whole time.
Let's not forget the yummy cookies that my daughter and Santa shared together which would put a smile on anyone's face! To top it all off, Santa and Mrs. Clause gave her little gifts to take home and a card to keep track if she is naughty or nice come Christmas time.
John's work is amazing and all the attention he puts into his sets and props is truly breathtaking. It definitely brought back many memories of my childhood during Christmas time and to see the joy on my daughter’s face is even a better feeling then when I was a kid at Christmas.” Kelly Westbrook
