24.01.2022 (...a day late but) Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had an amazing day and are still enjoying your time with family and loved onesI wanted to thank everyone who came to see Santa this year at Mildura Central. We truly have the best time chatting with the kids and giving them a magical experience (OK the crying photos are great too) The photos are a byproduct of the experience and the time that the kids have with Santa and we love giving the kids the opport...unity to chat to him and ask questions about the reindeers and the North PoleFor those who came to see Santa on Christmas Eve (one of our busiest days ever), your digital photos are being sent out this afternoon/evening and the printed ones will be available from Mildura Central’s Management office from this Saturday 28th. Thanks so much again to everyone who came to visit in 2019 and wishing you all the very best for 2020 See more

23.01.2022 Thank you so much to the Hazer family for coming to see us! Beautiful little people!

23.01.2022 Hi all! Just a quick shout out to everyone who has attended our 2020 sessions who requested their photos to be emailed: if you have not yet received your photos could you please send me an inbox letting me know? There was a worldwide Gmail/Google/YouTube outage last week and I think it may have affected some emails getting through, just want to make sure everyone has their pictures as promised. Thank you so much

23.01.2022 Here we go folks! Mildura Central Santa hours for 2019! It’s me and the big North Pole guy stationed out front of Target for another campaignShare it around and we’ll see you there from Saturday December 7th!

22.01.2022 One of my favourites of the season so far! Thanks so much to the Falvo family for bringing the boys to see us and being such good sports! Santa is going to spoil these gorgeous boys on Dec 24th! Love you, lads!

22.01.2022 Hi all! Santa photos are off to a flying start, Santa is loving the cooler weather in Mildura so far-very similar to the North Pole! Just some updates that are very important. We do have a waiting list on the booking site for those who are keen to get photos taken if there are any cancellations, however, I've tried contacting people individually via mobile and there is either no answer or the time does not suit that person for various reasons and I can't call the whole list ...or I will be on the phone til midnight. So when a booking is cancelled and becomes available, the folks on the waiting list will receive a blanket email notifying them that there is a booking available and it will be first in best dressed... (you don't have to be best dressed though). So, to the folks on the waiting list, stay vigilant and keep an eye on your emails. If it says 'booked out' assume someone else has taken the spot. Thank you so much for understanding See more

22.01.2022 Also a little tip: if you require an extra package/group photo with different family members, please still only purchase one ticket as I can accommodate this during your 10 minute session. This also frees up the extra tickets for others wishing to get their photos this year. Due to the ticketed process, we can only allow 2/3 of the amount of customers we normally have when we have had walk-ins so it's important to book early if you are super keen to get your picture this year. Thank you so much, and if you have any questions, please contact me here. Have a great day!

22.01.2022 My beautiful Primarano girlsNot much more to say except that it's a marked difference to last year's photo!

21.01.2022 This gorgeous little treasure just loved Santa! Thank you so much to the Dixon family for letting me share this! Look at that smile!

20.01.2022 *Apologies to the folks on the waiting list at TryBooking.com who just received a notification about tickets being available - I'm an old lady clumsy with technology and I tried to be clever and send a group message which did not work at all* IF and when tickets become available I will contact you directly on your mobile. This digital dinosaur thanks you so much for your patience

19.01.2022 Six more days of Santa at Mildura Central before the big guy returns to the North Pole and Christmas lands! We are having so much fun! Stay tuned for some personal favourites I’ll be posting soon, starting with this awesome recreation pic of the Pilmore gang!

18.01.2022 OK folks, here it is! The ticketing system for booking Santa photos for 2020 is now live. Once again, bookings are ESSENTIAL this year due to Covid-19. Bringing your ticket to your session is also imperative. To get a ticket, you have to purchase the basic $25 Santa pack, where you receive one 5X7" enlargement (in our Santa 2020 folder) and two 6X4" photos. For the first time in 11 years, yes, there is a price increase on my photo packages due to the extra costs my business i...s incurring due to the insurances and admin banking fees, including eftpos availability for the first time. There are also transaction fees of approximately $1.13 added to this ticket price also. If you have any objections to the price and fees, please avoid booking as this year, it is out of my hands. Eftpos will be available at the shoot this year so if you require more photos or would like to order a larger pack, that can be organized at the time of your session. Due to Covid restrictions, no one can sit on Santa's knee but we will have a larger space and we will still be able to get a great pic for you despite the social distancing requirements. Lastly, there are limited tickets this year as each shoot is time slotted to 10 minutes so please, if you are a regular and do not want to miss out, book early to avoid disappointment! This is out of my hands, there are strictly no walk-ins this year. This is the link to the booking site https://www.trybooking.com/BMPJU Please choose a date and time that suits you and your family and please hit me up if you have any questions. This is my last year taking the photos so lets have some fun this (very Covid;) Christmas! See more

17.01.2022 How cool is this

13.01.2022 Another important update while I have five minutesThis is a reminder for the coming weeks. If you wish to cancel your session or you know you cannot attend your booked session, I need to be notified before 8am THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION to qualify for a refund. There will be NO REFUNDS on your session if you do not attend at all OR if you contact me AFTER 8am on the same day as your session. This is regardless of your circumstance on the day. Thank you so much for respecting these terms as there are many people wanting these session times. Thank you all

12.01.2022 It is entirely a coincidence that I have two Wright families who I've selected for this preview of 2019 but oh dear, how much I love the confusion and awkwardness that Santa photos do bring out Thank you to the Wright family for allowing me to post this. You don't get perfect photos with Santa photos, you get the experience; which to me, is perfect

Once your booking time is booked and paid for, it cannot be changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to Mildura Central Santa P...hotos for 2020!
