Testimonials

“I have had the pleasure of working with Clint (Old Saint Click) for the past three years. The level of white-glove service he has provided for pictures with Santa at Oakridge Park has been outstanding. He listens, takes feedback, and is always eager to improve. I would highly recommend him to any business looking to provide photography services that are high quality but also human and personal.”

- Natacha Gomes da Silva | Marketing and Customer Experience Manager | Quadreal Property Group

"We arrived without a reservation today but I asked the lady if they accommodated children with special needs; ie not having to wait in line due to ASD. She immediately took us to the reservation line, took our info and as soon as Santa arrived back from the North Pole (lunch), he welcomed my son with open arms and invited him to sit beside him for a chat and some pictures! It took about 3 minutes and it made my son's day! He is a wonderful Santa and the entire experience was above and beyond! Thank you to all and Merry Christmas!"

- The Gibbs Family

"The photographer had some technological malfunctions occur two parties ahead of us and they were unable to provide physical photographs on the day we visited with our pet. Upon request, Santa himself said he would arrange to have our photo delivered to us (I live an hour away and it was too difficult to return for pickup). I had a letter in the mail awaiting me the next week right before Christmas with a sweet little note and a few extra treats for the trouble. I just wanted to thank you SO much for going above and beyond when things didn't go as planned! We were very impressed!"

- The Burnell Family

"Clint ensured we had a great experience and took care of every detail. We would highly recommend friends and family to support such a heartwarming experience. Thanks again to Clint's team in giving our kids and our furry pet the experience we were looking for with Santa! Looking forward to seeing this team and event in place for many years to come."

- Emran & Family

This year's company (Old Saint Click) was a MUCH better experience than the last company. My kids didn't feel rushed with Santa and the photographers took way better pictures and ensured we were happy with them before we left! Very great experience overall!

Frequently Asked Questions

RightDoes Santa wear a mask in the photos?

Obviously, we want to see everyone’s beautiful smile including Santa’s! However, in our post-COVID world, it is ultimately up to the local Health Authority and Santa as to whether they want to wear a mask. Our preference of course is no mask, but we respect everyone’s personal decision.

RightI haven't received my digital download, and it's been over 10 minutes!

Please check your spam or junk folder. If it’s not there, please email us with the date you came in, the time you came in and a photo of the print you received. Please make sure you email the correct location as we have multiple locations! All emails are listed above.

RightWhat does it cost to take a photo with Santa?

There is NO COST if you just want to have a visit with Santa. However, if you’d like to take a photo (even just on your cellphone) you do need to purchase a package. Our packages start at $24.99 (price subject to change) and always include a digital download. Please check with your local mall for more details.

RightCan I make a reservation?

Yes! Once the mall finalizes its schedule for each season, you can book an appointment. Usually, this is online in mid-November but please check your local mall website! It’s highly recommended that you book an appointment early as they do tend to sell out quickly.

RightWhen are you open?

Generally, we open near the end of November and go until Christmas Eve. Please check your local mall website in November for specific times and dates!

RightDo you offer pets and sensory-friendly photos with Santa?

Absolutely! Specific times and dates are announced in November of each season. Please check your local mall’s website starting in November of each year for more details.

RightWhat if I don't like the first photo you take?

Your satisfaction is our main focus! If you’re not satisfied with the first image, you are welcome to ask us to try one more time. We do have to limit the number of reshoots we offer to each guest, due to long lines and of course we always want to make sure we don’t take away from the main focus of the day, a visit with our amazing Santa!

RightHow do I get my digital downloads?

Your digital files are sent instantly via text and email. However, sometimes they don’t go through right away due to a typo or an issue with wireless carriers or email servers. If you don’t see them within 10 minutes, please refer to Question 1.

RightWhy is this different than last year? Why do you not offer different sizes of prints or frames?

We are a small, locally-owned company that was founded in 2018 by Clint Bargen. Our focus has always been to have much better customer service than previous companies and to keep things as simple as possible in order to keep lines as short as possible. We want to make sure everyone gets a good experience with the main focus of the day, Santa Claus!

RightWhy is there no year on my photo?

The year on the photo is a decision made by each individual mall, if you would like to see it come back feel free to reach out to them and request it. In the meantime, however, many of our guests create their own year or stickers using smartphone apps like Instagram or Snapseed. Thank you for understanding!

RightMy child has autism and has difficulty standing in long lines, is there anything you can do to help?

Yes, we definitely can help. First, if you are able to make it to one of our sensory-friendly sessions or if you can make a reservation online, those are definitely the best options. However, if those don’t work for you, please just line up at our reservation line and let one of our staff members know that your child has autism and we will do our best to get in you in as soon as possible!
