JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Santa experience can be overwhelming for many children, but there may be a solution. Hope at Hand and Hannah Joy Photography are partnering to provide a sensory-friendly photo shoot with Santa for children in North Florida.
They will make accommodations for the comfort of each child. A sofa is provided so children don't have to sit on Santa's lap. Santa can even sit on the floor or stand behind the sofa. Santa is flexible and willing to help make children comfortable so parents can get great pictures on their kids with Santa.
Santa photo sessions are available on Dec.1 from 11:50 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Two digital prints are included with your 10-minute photo shoot. Anyone interested must register for Sensitive Santa here or email Dakota@HopeAtHand.org to schedule your time.
