The Magic of Christmas
Christmas isn’t just a date on the calendar.
It’s the sound of little feet racing down the hallway, the sparkle in their eyes when the tree lights glow, and the sweet giggles that only come when Santa is near.
This year, step away from the crowded shopping centres and rushed photo ops. Instead, give your children a moment of true Christmas wonder, where they can actually talk to Santa, share their wishes, and feel the magic come alive.
We have partnered with an incredible small business in Dungog, "The Barn" to give you the most amazing Christmas photo experience for your family.

Why Families love our santa sessions
No long lines, no forced smiles. Just a calm, festive space where kids can be themselves.
Santa takes the time to connect, so little personalities truly shine.
Beautiful, professional photos that feel like Christmas magic.
Meet the Photographer
Hi, I’m Jacynta!
The face behind Studio 33. Collective.
Christmas has always been my favourite time of year. It’s not about the presents under the tree, but about the sparkle in a child’s eyes, the sound of laughter, and the way families come together in the most beautiful, chaotic, love-filled way.
That’s why I created our Santa Sessions. I wanted families to step away from the noise and stress of shopping centre lines, and instead walk into a calm, joy-filled space where kids can just be kids.
A place where they can whisper secrets to Santa, giggle until their cheeks hurt, and feel the magic all around them.
My goal is simple: to create timeless, magical photos for you to look back on and remember your family as it is now at this joyful time of year.
Every family that I work with becomes part of this story, and I can’t wait to capture yours.

this is why i do it...
“When we first walked into the Santa set up, my very first thought was just how unique and beautiful it was. The whole design felt rustic and magical, so different to anything I had seen before.”
She admitted she was a little unsure about the location at first. “I thought being in a café would feel overwhelming, but it was honestly the complete opposite. It was so calm and peaceful. I hardly noticed the café at all. I felt so comfortable and relaxed the whole time.”
That sense of ease is exactly what I hope families feel. Sessions should never feel rushed or stressful, they should feel warm, welcoming, and full of joy.
What stood out most for her wasn’t just the setting, but how she was made to feel. “Our photographer was absolutely amazing. She made us feel so comfortable in our surroundings. We honestly just felt so welcomed and relaxed the whole time.”
The moment she saw her photos for the first time is one she still remembers. “I was blown away. I was in complete awe of them. They were more beautiful than I ever imagined, and I honestly couldn’t have been happier.”
And of course, Santa himself brought his own kind of magic. “He was incredible. So warm and friendly, and just amazing with our baby. It was his very first Santa visit and Santa made it so special for him. It honestly couldn’t have been more perfect.”
For this little family, their Santa session became more than just photos. It was a calm and magical experience that created their very first Christmas memory, one they will carry with them for years to come.
