Santa photos..
11/25/2015 at 9:45 PM

Can we work together to compile a list of all the different places in Brandon (and surrounding areas) that are doing Santa photos? As well as the dates/hours of operation.

So far I've heard of the shoppers mall (obviously), Don's photos and Santa Photo Central (on 18Th) - not sure of the hours of these places though..

Thanks!

Photography by Dale does an amazing photo shoot with Santa on Dec 5th 10-4, and best of all he donates ALL the proceeds to MBNF to support people living with Neurofibromatosis. Great professional pics by a generous donor! What more could you ask for Xmas?

Santa Photo Central
11/28/2015 at 10:02 AM

Santa photo central is also known as Champion Digital Photography(they were located in the Corral Centre last year). This year they are at 1128-18th St-Unit C (formerly Mansfields). Dates are November 20 - December 23rd.
Their hours are Wednesday-Friday 1pm-4:30pm & 5:30pm-8:30pm, Saturdays 10am-12pm & 1pm-4:30pm, Sundays 1pm-4:30pm.
Starting December 14th they will be open on Mondays and Tuesdays following the same weekday hours as above.

Also they are offering a "Magical Visit with Caring Santa" (for Children and Adults with Special Needs) on Sunday Dec 6th 10am-12pm. You need to book an appointment for this date and it offers a personal, quiet experience with Santa for photos or a visit, for those that would benefit from this magical visit. Phone 204-727-6331.

Hope this info helps.

Digital
11/30/2015 at 10:05 AM

Haven't done ours yet. Noticed the sign at the mall re the option of purchasing the digital of the Santa pic. This to us might be the most important factor. I know some will say "scan it" but you generally wouldn't get the same quality of digital. Is this pretty common practice for the other photographers listed here too or are there still some holdouts that will only sell you prints?

Shopper's Mall

I also heard that the Shopper's Mall hired a US company this year. Not too sure why seeing all the talented photographers right here in Brandon. This may be a separate discussion but just in case people want to keep it local Merry Christmas everyone!
