Our Sensitive Santa sessions are designed for children with special needs, or those on the spectrum, particularly with sensory sensitivities. The environment is calm, quiet, and relaxed to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Each 20-minute session allows extra time for your child to settle in. We’ll work at their pace, aiming to use 3 rooms if they’re comfortable. Some children warm up to Santa quickly, while others need a slower approach. Sometimes, we capture a photo before they even realise Santa is there.
If you have specific requests, let us know and we’ll do our best to make the session easier and more enjoyable for your child.
Your 20-minute session includes:
- Gentle, unrushed introduction to Santa
- Family and children’s photos (up to 3 rooms)
- All unedited photos on USB (no prints)
Important:
- $15 more and 5 minutes longer than a standard session.
- Reserved for children who cannot cope in a regular session.
- If suitable, please book a general session to keep these spots available for families who need them most.
