The Santa Sessions - 2026

Santa is a super busy man, and once the appointments are gone, they’re gone. See our FAQ below, for everything you need to know about having an awesome Christmas in Stowmarket, this year.

Where will the shoots take place?

Santa is joining us for a very special Story Time, at The Cow Shed Studio, in Great Finborough (IP14 3BA)

Christmas shoots in November are a bit early aren’t they?

We need time after your session to process your images, add them to your very own private gallery and give you time to see and place your order. Digital images will be available for immediate download, and any printed products are professionally made at our pro photo lab before we send them out. It’s super important to us that you have plenty of time to enjoy your fabulous photographs, before the big day! Also, Santa has a lot to do already in December!

How long is the session?
Your appointment will last 20 minutes – giving us lots of time for those fabulous questions that kids ask, and for us to capture some beautiful portraits at the same time.
