Santa photos in La Habra.
Santa and Mrs. Claus pose with families on a built set, and The Carnival Fun Experts sets that up inside a holiday event. Here is how santa photos in La Habra work, from the look of the set and the line to the places that can host a station and the booths that keep the wait pleasant.
In La Habra the station can join a school night run through La Habra City School District or Lowell Joint School District, a church evening, an HOA party or a city event. The event supplies the families, and the station supplies the picture.
Santa arrives as part of a The Carnival Fun Experts event, which puts the starting cost at a small custom event, about $1,500.
Santa's station as built in La Habra.
A wooden sleigh holds Santa and Mrs. Claus side by side, and a red, green and white balloon arch rises behind them, mixing peppermint balloons with patterned ones. The set ends at a Christmas Carnival sign and a harlequin backdrop. Everyone waits in a single line, then steps up as a family. Phones do the job, or the host can bring in the photographer The Carnival Fun Experts offers.
Where the set goes is a site-walk decision. Portola Park is a place a host can ask the city about, and the La Habra Community Center is a place to ask whether the room allows the set. The Children's Museum at La Habra, the Depot Theater and the La Habra Tennis Center are venues with their own programs, so a host asks each what it can host and when. A booth or two and a concession beside the line give waiting children something to do.
