Before you hire Santa in Columbus, it helps to decide how close the cameras will be, because that answers whether you want the real beard. The traditional suit is the lower-cost choice.
What Real Bearded Santa Means
A real bearded Santa grows his own natural white beard and hair. The traditional Santa wears a full styled beard with the suit. On the log cabin porch he raises a hand beside a wooden reindeer, and the beard you see there is his.
The real beard matters most for close-up portraits, for children who reach for the beard, and for a photographer’s session. Those pictures sit a few inches from his face, so the beard he grew is the one that shows.
Real Beard Santa for Hire or the Traditional Suit
The traditional suit is plenty for a big room, a stage or a short walk through a party, where most guests see him from several steps away. The red coat and hat still read clearly from across the room.
In a New Albany house the family room often opens to the kitchen and the dining table, so Santa can sit where the children already gather. For a session built around the pictures, book Santa photos and ask for the real beard on that call.
