Where are the photos taken? Location?

Mini-Sessions with Santa photos are taken at our family business: 

Premier Flooring! 


Santa Aaron will be happy to help you with all your flooring needs from home updates to new construction, (when he's not playing Santa, that is!) Premier Flooring serves Lebanon, TN and the greater Nashville, TN area.

What if I have a screamer?

We will work very hard to get great smiles! However, it's all part of the experience! I shoot quickly and we will do our best to make the experience fun, some kids just aren't Santa fans (yet!) Come prepared to be in some of the pictures just in case! 


Please avoid discipline immediately before or during your session. I am a parent I totally understand wanting to correct bad behavior. However - after over 15 years as a children's portrait photographer - I can say with certainty that photo sessions are the exception. Bribes and redirection often work well! Remember that photo time can be an overwhelming experience for many young kids. Lots of patience and gentle reassuring goes a long way. We also have lots of little tricks we can try, so if you need help, please ask! We are always happy to support parents and kiddos to get an amazing experience and amazing results! 

Can our cousin take some photos with us?

As these sessions move very quickly, they are limited to immediate family (mom, dad, brothers, sisters,) ONLY per time spot. If grandparents are there and would like to jump in a photo that is usually fine - if time allows. 


Cousins, friends and any other extended family are welcome to book their own session(s) for photos and time with Santa. If multiple families book sessions back-to-back, we can certainly try to get a group cousin photo. 


Please always strive to set a good example for your kids with the highest standards of honesty and integrity. 

How long before I get my pictures?

About 2 weeks pending everyone in my family stays healthy! Photos will be delivered via an online gallery digital download.  


*If at all possible, please do not email / message to see when your photos will be ready. If 15 days have passed since your session day, (4 days for rush editing,) then please do reach out to be sure your contact info is correct, etc. I TOTALLY get the anxious anticipation in waiting, and because I love and appreciate you all SO much, I will respond to EVERY one of your inquiries. Having to constantly stop work to respond to these messages, however, actually slows the process down further. If your photos are running behind schedule, (Lord willing - they won't!) I will be sure to let you know. (This would usually only be due to a major family emergency.) 

What if the weather is bad?

All photos will be taken indoors at Premier Flooring, so not a problem! 

Who will be playing Santa?

Santa Aaron is AMAZING! He is fun, happy and loves kids! (He has four of his own!) He has been background checked and volunteers at his church regularly. He also has a degree in psychology and worked in group homes, in-home family counseling, transitional living for at-risk teens and social work for years. On weekends he loves spending time with his family, playing video games and going on adventures. Santa Aaron is also available for party's and events as well as online video calls with Santa for your little one! Check out his website for more info: NashvilleSantaClaus.com

Do we HAVE to take photos with Santa? Can we do some without?

Absolutely! We always try and start with a few photos without Santa regardless. We will send out more information regarding checking in, logistics, introduction of Santa, and photo day tips in an email the day before your session.


If you would not like Santa in any photos, please let me know when you book. This is not a problem at all!

Can I bring my pet?

It depends... We usually always try to book pets at the end of the day (as the Santa suit is sprayed down and sanitized afterwards.) We also only allow one animal in the studio area at a time.  


Friendly, smaller, hypoallergenic dogs are preferred. Sheila is very allergic to cats, (sadly - because we all love them!) 


ALWAYS ask when booking before showing up with a pet. It is considered on a case-by-case basis and scheduling is carefully considered before approval. Please let us know if the animal will be held by the owner the entire time and not touch Santa as this may factor into the approval.


PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY PET INTO THE STUDIO WITHOUT ASKING AND GETTING THE "OK" FROM OUR STAFF PRIOR TO YOUR SESSION. We have a LOT to coordinate, unique special needs, client and staff allergies as well as kids with mild to severe autism. We would hate to let you know upon arrival that your pet is not allowed, but if you simply show up with an animal, that is a very likely possibility. 


*All "messes" or pet accidents in the studio are the responsibility of the owner. 

Do you always share the photos publicly? (Facebook, website, etc.)

I usually do share a few images publicly in a "sneak peek" post on Facebook or on my website. However, I NEVER "tag" names of parents or use any child's name in a post. You, as the parent, are more than welcome to tag and share your own images! I like to leave this up to each parent's personal preference and discretion.

*If you request that your images are not ever shared publicly, I am more than happy to accommodate and respect this. Please let me know this when you book. 

What if my child is sick or I am unable to make my session time?

If you give at least 24 hours' notice, I will do my best to reschedule your photo session to another available mini session day/time if available. I am a parent too! I know the unexpected can happen! Refunds will not be issued; however, your payment can be put towards another regular photo session with Sheila Wilson Photography as long as it is used within one year of the purchase date.

By purchasing a mini photo session, you understand and agree to the above policies and conditions.

Santa Book The True Story of Old St. Nick Saint Nicholas Historical Santa Claus Jolly Old Saint Nick

A Santa-Inspiration!

 We LOVE going back to the TRUE meaning of Christmas! The historical story of the real "Santa Claus" inspired Sheila (aka "Mrs. Claus") to write this fun little children's book! It is a great middle-ground to introduce kids to the real St. Nicholas without diminishing the fun and magic of the modern-day Santa Claus. 


The story of Santa Claus has cycled through so many myths and legends over the centuries that people are often unaware it likely has an amazing historical foundation! This fun and engaging book uses rhyme to catch little one’s attentions, and even explains history (and some legend!) in a unique and educationally beneficial manner. The story is grounded in a solid foundation of the traditional Christian faith, yet accessible and fun for all ages and backgrounds.

May this story bless you, encourage you to research historical figures further, and contribute to a very Merry Christmas for you and your family! 

This cute little Santa book makes GREAT gifts for friends and family!

You can purchase your copy of "The True Story of Old Saint Nick" on Amazon!
