“One word to describe our experiences with G and E Studios……MAGICAL!

We first experienced G and E Studios by booking a session for their annual Santa Experience. Let me tell you….it was truly the experience of a lifetime!”

Precious Moments with Santa!

Hey there, parents and grandparents! Get ready to unwrap the gift of unforgettable moments with Santa Claus at our studio in Powder Springs, GA. Get Ready for a Sleigh-load of Fun with Santa!

Our Santa sessions draw inspiration from the timeless works of Norman Rockwell.

We’re not just taking photos; we’re crafting art that captures the essence of the holiday season. Picture this – your little ones, snug and cozy in the presence of the man in red, letting out joyful giggles.

Your kids will have a blast searching for their names on the “Nice List,” sharing their dearest wishes with Santa himself, and diving into a sleigh-full of fun activities. They may even point out which list your name is on!

“But the best part is the reveal session! Elaine and Gary sat with us to go through each photo as we had to make very difficult choices on what to keep or not (and trust me, it was hard…all of the photos were incredible!). G and E offers a wide selection of printing options and product offerings that work well with any budget.

We love G and E Studios…and Gary and Elaine are just extensions of our family.”

– Sonni F.

Gary and Elaine Jones' Holiday Photo 2023

A few short words about us! 

We are Gary and Elaine, and we LOVE Christmas!  For us this is a season of sharing, giving and adding a sparkle to a kid’s eye!  Maybe this is why we get along so well with Santa!

When we started our Santa Sessions in 2019, we photographed many photos of Santa in community holiday events.  The times with Santa were rushed and some of the kids did not have time to warm up to Santa, let alone remember what they really wanted for Christmas.

That is why we love the time they spend with Santa in our studio!  We have crafted a storyline that answers the many questions that kids have about Santa.

Trust us!  When you book your children’s Santa Photos with us, they will have this experience etched in their minds and hearts for a lifetime!

We cannot wait to meet y’all!

What do we wear for The Magical Santa Photos?

Dressing your child in the right colors can ensure color harmony in your portraits.  Matching holiday pajamas is a perfect match for the activities and Santa Experience. Here are several other suggestions that will match the set nicely!

  • Deep Reds (Burgundy, Cranberry, Maroon, Crimson)
  • Dark Greens (Evergreen, Pine, Emerald)
  • Antique gold (richer gold tones)
  • Rich Warm Browns
  • Navy blues

Whites, light colors or character pajamas will not photograph well in our scene.  We know how kids can be squirmish.  Dark leggings are welcomed with little dresses to protect your child’s privacy:)

***Our favorite is matching pajamas for the entire family!***

All sessions are non-refundable.  However, if you let us know at least a week ahead of time, we will try hard to fill your time slot.  If we are able to fill your spot, a refund will be issued. Or you can be like Santa and gift it to a friend or use it towards a future session with G and E Studios. A final option would be for the $200 to be applied as studio credit for a future session.
