Meet Santa John
Since 2015, Santa John has been the heart of The Magical Santa Experience at Cherished Moments Photography. As a real-bearded Santa with a genuine love for children, he creates an experience that feels authentic, magical, and unforgettable.
From the moment your child walks through the workshop door, Santa John welcomes them with warmth, kindness, and patience. Whether they're sharing Christmas wishes, helping make toys, reading a Christmas story, or enjoying milk and cookies together, he has a remarkable way of making every child feel seen, heard, and truly special.
Santa John has experience working with children of all ages—from babies and toddlers to teens, parents, and even grandparents. He also has a wonderful ability to connect with children with autism and other disabilities, meeting each child where they are and creating an experience that is comfortable, joyful, and filled with genuine Christmas magic.
By the end of their visit, most children leave with no doubt in their minds that they've just spent time with the real Santa.
For us, that's what makes the experience so special.
