Santa photos in Placentia.
Santa and Mrs. Claus sit on a built set while families take turns posing, and The Carnival Fun Experts places that set inside a holiday event. What follows covers santa photos in Placentia: how the set looks, how the line forms, which sites can take it and what stands around it.
In Placentia the station can join an HOA party, a church evening, a Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District campus event or a gathering at a city park. The event brings the families, and the station gives them the photo.
The Carnival Fun Experts sells the Santa set as one piece of an event, so the entry price is that of a small custom event, about $1,500.
Santa's set as built in Placentia.
Mrs. Claus sits next to Santa in a wooden sleigh, with a red, green and white balloon arch of peppermint and patterned balloons overhead. A Christmas Carnival sign and a harlequin backdrop fill the space behind them. Families queue in a single line and step up as a group. A parent can take the shot on a phone, or the host can book the photographer The Carnival Fun Experts offers.
The set needs ground for the arch and the queue, and the host and The Carnival Fun Experts choose the spot on a site walk. A host at Tri-City Regional Park asks OC Parks whether the park can host the event and where a line may form. A host at Kraemer Memorial Park, Tuffree Park, Goodwin Park or the Placentia Champions Sports Complex asks the city. A booth or two and a concession beside the queue keep the wait from feeling empty. Three working areas make up the station. The set holds the sleigh, the arch and the backdrop, and Santa and Mrs. Claus stay there for the whole event. The queue forms beside it, pointed away from the snack booths so a line for popcorn does not tangle with the line for pictures. The game booths stand farther along, which gives children something to do while a parent holds a place. A Placentia host at Tri-City Regional Park, Kraemer Memorial Park, Tuffree Park, Goodwin Park or the Placentia Champions Sports Complex draws these three areas on the site walk with The Carnival Fun Experts.
