Santa Sessions 2023
Santa is coming to the Irish Eyes Photography studio in Hingham for some Christmas portrait magic!
Christmas Card Session at the Tree Farm
Join Irish Eyes Photography at Tree Berry Farm in Scituate to capture the perfect Christmas card smiles.
Pajama Party Christmas Card Sessions
It's like a session from the comfort of your own home except you don't have to decorate for Christmas! The studio gets all gussied up with a green vintage full bed dressed in a classic holiday plaid bedding set from Pottery Barn. Kids can play and jump and snuggle and eat cookies (if anyone in your party has any allergies I just ask that you bring your own to keep everyone safe...otherwise I'll have chocolate chip cookies for folks to enjoy) - all acts that make for some really great shots. Your kiddo gets to be the boss of what we do; I'll gently guide them with some ideas but otherwise, we create an atmosphere that they feel comfortable to play in and then I capture it. These sessions have been big hits both times I offered them before and I'm excited to bring them back for you. Plus, who can resist some adorable holiday pajamas?!
Sessions are 20 minutes long and the fee is $395. Prints, holiday cards, and digital files are a la carte and sold separately at an ordering session that takes place in my studio at the time of your choosing roughly 1 week after the pajama party session. Once you've booked your session, you'll be emailed images of the bedding so you know how to plan your pajama coordination.
Hot Cocoa Stand Christmas Card Sessions
These sessions were a huge hit when I first did them years ago and they've been the most requested to bring back! We'll meet at King Oak Hill Park in Weymouth where a decorated wooden hot cocoa stand will be waiting for you. We'll take pictures in and around the stand where your kiddos (and you!) can pretend to sell some hot cocoa (it'll be pretend for the sessions so no one gets stained) and enjoy some cookies (if anyone in your party has any allergies I just ask that you bring your own to keep everyone safe...otherwise I'll have chocolate chip cookies and marshmallows for kids to enjoy and be captured enjoying toward the end of the session). These are fun and playful and the emphasis is on imagination and play. Grown ups are certainly allowed to join in - just bring your playful sides!
Sessions are 20 minutes long and the fee is $395. Prints, holiday cards, and digital files are a la carte and sold separately at an ordering session that takes place in my studio at the time of your choosing roughly 1 week after the hot cocoa session.

Santa Sessions
***THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT FOR 2021***
Come on over to Irish Eyes Photography's Downtown Hingham studio and spend some time with the Big Guy himself. Move over mall Santa...this is the real experience you've been looking for. No lines. No gimmicks. Your children will have their own time with Santa to chat, explore, and share in his magic. Children of all ages are welcome though keep in mind your session won't be posed; I will be candidly capturing the experience. I want to see the magic in your child's eyes as they read a book with Santa or learn about the special tools he uses to make Christmas work like clockwork. Of course I'll get a couple shots that are a little more traditional, but the real magic will be the honest belief and joy on your child's face.
Sessions are 20 minutes long. They're early enough in the year so you can use these for Christmas Cards, which you can also order and have designed just for you - right here at Irish Eyes Photography.
You will return to the studio two weeks later to view your gallery and order your prints, products, and Christmas Cards. No minimum purchase is required.
You don't want to miss this one, folks. There are limited spots and established clients have already started booking so book yours ASAP!
2021 dates: November 12th and 13th. (We’ve added a weekday this week for families who find their weekends full.)
Price: $250. A portion of your fee goes to a charity for local children.
COVID GUIDELINES: All must be masked unless actively being photographed to keep everyone safe.

COVID: All Covid guidelines will be followed. No extra people may attend. As this is outside and distanced, no masks are required. I am fully vaccinated and will be at a distance from you at almost all times.
—-
A week or two after your session, you'll meet me at my studio where you'll see your gallery and pick out your prints and products. You'll also pick out your Christmas Card design! Client feedback has shown time and time again that having everything taken care of for you at this hectic time of year has proved invaluable. (Masks required during this time together.)
The session fee is $175 for your session. Prints, products, and Christmas Cards are a la carte and have no minimum purchase requirement.
Halloween Mini Sessions
Back again by popular demand! Everyone's favorite pit stop on the way to other Halloween events around the South Shore. Stop into the studio between 10 and 3pm on October 23rd to get your annual Halloween portrait taken! The setup is the same favorite as always. You get one digital file uploaded to the Irish Eyes Facebook Page which you can share and download from. Your kids get a fun Halloween treat and everyone has a ton of fun.
-
Masks required until models are being photographed. Parents must remain masked at all times. Unlike before Covid, the studio will allow one family to be photographed and another to be signing in. All others will wait outside in line until it's their turn. The day ebbs and flows; sometimes there is a line and sometimes there isn't but it's always moving so it's never too long a wait. Please be considerate of others and mask outdoors if distance can't be achieved.
-
There is street parking all over, but if you can't find a spot for some reason, there's a free public parking lot a block away from the studio down toward the beach on Station Street.

Studio address: 82 North Street, Hingham MA
Cost: $20
cash, checks, and credit cards accepted.

Any questions, feel free to ask here and I (or any of the experienced alumni) will be happy to answer. No appointment necessary - bring your friends, your masks, and come have a ball!
Fall School Portraits
PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END FOR IMPORTANT DETAILS. Thanks!
----
While my offering school portraits is nothing new, for some of you this maybe so welcome new friends!
Here's the gist: you stop by, we take some photos within a 10 minute window, and you're all done. Just like the photo corporation your school district does business with, I will choose the best image from our time together. BUT here's the difference: the risk of a bad shot is greatly reduced because 1: I'm a professional photographer. 2: YOU will be there to make sure the hair bow is 'just right' and that there's no marker on their face. 3: I make the experience a lot more fun than the assembly line situation that happens at most schools. Those who have come to me for their children's school portraits say they'll never go back to the in-school corporate shots because the experience is so much better. So come and check it out!
