Hello, wonderful mummies and daddies, boys and girls, nannies and granddads, carers, and friends!
I am thrilled to welcome you to LW Studios. I’m gearing up my sleigh for a special trip to see two of my favourite elves, Jay Peg & Pixel, who will help us capture the magical moments of our time together just before Christmas.
Our time together will be extra special, each session lasting a festive 20 minutes! In that time, we’ll create beautiful memories, and you’ll receive a wonderfully edited, high-resolution digital image to cherish for years to come.
Don’t forget to bring along your Christmas wish list! Plus, I have a delightful little gift for you to remember our time together. I can’t wait to see you all! It’s going to be Santastic!

I mean every word, you are thoroughly entertaining and watching you is pure joy!
Tonight was very relaxed and felt really special. It didn’t feel rushed at all. Simply a beautiful, festive evening full of fun. A lovely setting, fantastic entertainment, the food was also great! What a great start to the festivities. Thank you!
I have one question though…when the children are too old, can I still come and see you?! 🤣

Would just like to say a huge thank you for such a magical and amazing visit at the mansion House today. My children have never known a different Santa and was so pleased we could get to see you again. It was just as magical for me and my husband too. We will definitely be back to see you next year. Merry Christmas Santa. x

Really gutted I have discovered you so late! Told my kid that my heart really sees you as the real Santa 💕 Next year will get organised in time and definitely coming to see you! Which will be rather awesome as well as will be our first Christmas as new family of 4. We will be practising meantime our Santa dab and Christmas turkeying as we call it 🤣😅.
