Santa's Magical Gift has truly been **MAGICAL**
Thank you Larry! Santa's Magical Gift has truly been **MAGICAL** for myself and many clients and will only be growing into a more substantial WHY and revenue stream for my studio in 2018. Sharing a love note
6 figures sales with Santa for 2019
Took a breather in the midst of the chaos of Santa season to look at our numbers so far this holiday cycle, and they are looking really great!.
Our 2019 Santa revenue is sitting at $87,390 so far, and we have 17 more sessions to proof before we wrap things up for 2019.
My goal was to hit 6 figures with Santa for 2019 (we did just over $80k in our first year 2018) and I think we should hit that and surpass it a bit by the time the book is closed on this year.
My many thanks again to Larry for his educational insight into how to make Santa a winning formula for our studio. Its hard for me to imagine fine art Santa not being a huge part of our brand even though we have just been doing it a little over a year. It continues to be a real game changer for our studio. My thanks again!

"About 85-90% of my wall portrait sales this year were of the magic box images. Parents always tend to gravitate towards this image, and the expressions are always amazing."Ted Linczak
Santa's Magical Summit. Real World Photographer's Review
From Professional Photographer Ted Linczak.
I wanted to give a quick shout out to Larry!
My wife and I have run a full time wedding and portrait studio for 13 years now, and we are slowly making the move to more and more portrait work. I’m pretty selective about the educational workshops I invest in, but we knew we wanted to start offering a Santa Christmas portrait event, and who better than to learn the ins and outs of this system than from the CREATOR of the system!
We even built out a new studio on our property for the large purpose of hosting this kind of session. It was important for us to learn the profitable way of how to make this a benefit for our business, and that’s where Larry came in.
What I most appreciate about Larry’s approach is that much of his process relating to sales is not only applicable to the Santa angle, but to all kinds of portrait work. With so few people out there teaching photographers how to make an actual living selling art work...
What age is the best for Christmas portraits.
The classic age...the wonder-of-a-child years. Ages 1 to 6 may be the perfect size for the wonder years, however a person's inner child will live forever...this is profound.
March 2019 workshop
From March 2019 workshop...can you say priceless. Capturing the wonder of a child is an art in itself. Once you have learned and mastered my method of communicating, you will use it in all of your child photography. Christmas photography art.

Thank you Debbie for entering this beautiful image. And thank you for being fearless and allowing your artwork to be critiqued for the entire group.
Here are some suggestions that can take your artwork and photography to the next level. I hope this critique inspires you to grow even further as an artist. FYI...most of what I am showing here can be done during the session itself. Some of it would be done in post.

Critique #2 My Muse second place winner from Claudia Regina Giamaro.
As with all of my critiques, please understand that all information is only here to help you on your creative journey. Creating pictures is easy...simply point any camera at anything or anyone and press the button. Creating stunning pieces of artwork that sell is another game all together. It takes knowledge and understanding of fundamentals. I hope this and all the critiques help you raise the bar and inspire you to grow, learn and implement.

Can you imagine...milk and cookies with Santa?
Created during our latest workshop. Being able to tell a story during your session is so important. Keeping consistency is imperative. Letting your inner child be in charge...priceless.
