An Old-Fashioned Christmas Adventure with Santa
October 17 & 18, 2026 | Cherished Moments Photography | Lonsdale, Minnesota
Step into a winter wonderland where Christmas magic comes to life!
Imagine your children spending a cozy winter day with Santa at his charming fishing cabin. From roasting marshmallows and sipping hot cocoa by the fire to ice fishing, playing in the snow, and sharing stories with Santa, every moment is filled with childhood wonder.
This isn't just a visit with Santa. It's an unforgettable Christmas adventure filled with genuine smiles, laughter, and magical memories that will be treasured for generations.
A Little Christmas Magic Around Every Corner
At Santa's Fishing Cabin, children don't just sit on Santa's lap and smile for the camera. They become part of their very own Christmas story!
Depending on your session length, your little ones might enjoy:
- Roasting marshmallows around the cozy fire
- Sipping hot cocoa and sharing a toast with Santa
- Trying their hand at ice fishing
- Having a playful snowball fight
- Catching snowflakes and blowing magical snow
- Snuggling under a warm blanket
- Taking a ride on Santa's toboggan
- Sharing Christmas cookies and milk
- Reading a favorite Christmas story with Santa
- Checking Santa's famous Nice List
Every experience is a little different because every child is unique. We follow their curiosity, capture their excitement, and let the magic unfold naturally.
Activities and poses vary depending on session length and your child's interests.

The 60-Minute Cabin Experience

For families who want to experience even more Christmas magic!
With so many wonderful activities at Santa's Fishing Cabin, we've created an extended experience that allows us more time to explore the set, enjoy additional interactions with Santa, and capture an even greater variety of portraits.
Unlike our traditional 60-minute Santa Experience, this special session takes place entirely within the magical Cabin setting.
How Does the Pricing Work?
We believe in making your experience enjoyable from beginning to end, including the ordering process!
Your session fee reserves your private appointment with Santa.
Your experience also includes a portrait order credit:
- 25-Minute Experience: $200 Portrait Order Credit
- 60-Minute Experience: $400 Portrait Order Credit
Approximately 2–4 weeks after your session, you'll receive a link to your private online gallery, where you can view your beautiful portraits from the comfort of your own home.
You'll have the opportunity to choose your favorite images and products, and your included portrait order credit will be applied toward your purchase. (this can also be applied toward digital file collections)
Additional portraits and products are available separately.
There's no high-pressure sales appointment. Simply enjoy your portraits, select the memories you love most, and choose how you'd like to preserve them for generations.
A Private Visit with a Truly Magical Santa
No crowded lines. No rushed visits. Just your family and the magic of Christmas.
Our wonderful real-bearded Santa has been bringing Christmas magic to Cherished Moments Photography since 2015.
He's patient, kind, funny, and has a special way of making children feel comfortable, whether they're visiting Santa for the very first time or returning for another year of Christmas memories.
We allow time for children to warm up, interact naturally, and simply enjoy being little.
And while they're busy making memories, we're capturing the moments you'll treasure long after they've outgrown believing in Santa.
What Should My Children Wear?
Think cozy, classic, and timeless!
Warm sweaters, winter coats, scarves, mittens, boots, and beautiful holiday outfits all look wonderful at Santa's Fishing Cabin.
Rich reds, deep greens, creams, plaids, and warm neutral tones complement the rustic winter setting beautifully.
We also have a few clothing options available in our studio client closet to help make preparing for your session a little easier.
Please contact the studio to require about clothing options and sizes available.
