FAQ

When will you be near my location?

Subscribe to our mailing list or

our facebook page https://fb.me/kiwisanta.photo to get the latest updates.

Can I bring my dog?

We not only welcome, but we encourage dogs. They are part of your family too.

Can I have a separate photo of each of my kids?

One session is for one pose / group. Maximum of 5 people. You are welcome to book more than one consecutive shoot so that you can include Grandma or have different group poses.

Does this include the Santa experience?

We know this is important, we have kids too. Santa will ask your child what they would like for Christmas, and an optional high-five. We do ask that we keep the interactions brief, we have many families to get though.

I didn't receive my confirmation text or email!

Please contact us via fb.me/kiwisantaphoto or email us. If it's entered incorrectly we can fix it. This is how we will get your photos to you afterward so it's super important that it's correct!

When do we get our photos?

A lot depends on the photographer, however we aim for the same day. Keep checking your unique URL for all the information. As soon as the photos are edited and uploaded to us, they will be available there for you to download and share.

Is my personal data safe?

We take privacy super seriously. We will never sell your data and will only use your mobile number for communication like notifications and reminders. Check our Privacy Policy for more.

Why do you guys only do 2 hours in the morning or evening?

These times of the day produces the best images! We believe in quality over quantity. We are able to organise new dates and times easily by doing 2 hour blocks. We also like to be able to give you your images on the same day.

Why can't I choose a time?

If we were to allocate time slots, we wouldn't be able to service as many families as we can. We have invested significant resources in streamlining the experience, and will estimate the time for you to show up!

What does the 'Extra Image' mean?

If you select the optional extra image, you will get an extra full resolution digital image of the same group of people. You can use this to get a separate photo of your kids, and one of the whole family for example.

How do I know what time to show up?

You will receive a URL via email and SMS which will show you what time to be there, as well as how many people are in front of you. This is a reasonable estimate but it pays to keep your eye on it on the day!

ABOUT US

Kiwi Santa Photo exists to draw NZ families toward a more fun and realistic Christmas photo tradition.

A Kiwi Christmas does not involve snow and bad-taste woolen jerseys. A Kiwi Santa Photo represents summer, heat, jandals, beach, outdoors, camping, swimming, BBQ, beer, wine, and chilly bins.

Our mission at Kiwi Santa Photo is to create a new tradition of New Zealand themed Santa experiences.

We accept the challenge to produce only the best quality products for our customers.
