As a Dallas, TX native born and raised, I've always had a deep love for Christmas and the magic it brings. I've been married to Mrs. Claus (Allie) for 23 years, and we have two adult children. Our family also includes three dogs—Theo, Lucy, and Phoebe—and two cats, Maibe and Tammy. Growing up, I enjoyed riding motorcycles, playing sports, and outdoor adventures, from hunting to boating and everything in between. My journey as Santa began as a fun role for my nieces and nephews, and it has now blossomed into a true passion. I love bringing joy and warmth to every event, making each experience special for everyone involved.

Home Visits:

Chair or Seating: Provide a sturdy, comfortable chair for Santa. Avoid placing it in front of windows or mirrors to reduce glare in photos. A solid background works best.

Lighting: Natural light is ideal, but if it’s dark or dimly lit, have soft, even lighting available. Avoid harsh overhead lights that cause shadows.

Props: Have any gifts or props ready and labeled discreetly for Santa to hand out.

Holiday Parties or Larger Events:

Microphone and Sound System: In larger or noisy spaces, a wireless mic and sound system help ensure Santa is heard, especially for sing-alongs and storytelling.

Staging Area: Set up a designated space for Santa with a festive backdrop and seating. Avoid placing it near windows or mirrors to prevent glare in photos.

Lighting: Warm, ambient lighting creates a festive mood. Avoid direct lighting that can cause glare or wash out photos.

Space Requirements: A 10x10 ft area works well for Santa to interact and take photos with guests.

Accessibility: Easy access and nearby parking help with carrying props. Make sure the setup is accessible for all guests, including those with special needs.

These details help create a smooth and memorable experience, ensuring the magic is captured beautifully.
