My Family and I have been getting our holiday photos at DFC since 2020. The whole process from start to finish is just seamless! From Christmas to Easter my boys always love coming into the studio!

Danielle has done everything from Santa to the Easter Bunny to family photos to dance team action shots for me, and I can’t imagine using anyone else! She is professional, thoughtful, kind, and incredibly talented!

Danielle foster won me over years ago when I took my now 4 year old at 2 weeks old. They handled my baby with care and we had the best experience & continue to do so now. We love our “embrace the cry” photos!

To say this studio is remarkable is an understatement. From the minute you pull up in the parking lot you are treated like you are the only family that exists. We loved the way we were greeted in the studio by staff and Santa himself knew the kids names. Our appointment was efficient and covered everything from the hot chocolate props to the snowball throws. And picking my photos from the comfort of my home was wonderful. It's a fantastic, magical, wonderful experience that I would reccomend to everyone.

We went today for our first time ever and it was amazing. I was so pleased with all the pictures, that it was so hard to narrow it down to one or two! We will definitely be back next year. Happy holidays to all! Thank you for giving my children an awesome experience.

I have been working at DFC for 6 years now and every year I am in complete awe of witnessing magic in its simplest form. The Santas, each unique and incredible, care so deeply about giving the children a personal experience. And the staff care so very much about providing the best experience possible for parents, children and anyone else there to witness the joy. As a client and an employee, I love it at DFC! Once you've visited with a DFC Santa, there's no way you'd go back to the mall

A lot— if not all— reviews are from clients, but as a photographer working here, I needed to put this out there: this is a place that genuinely cares about families and keeping magic in the lives of children. There is so much turmoil in the world, but we are able to see joy from parents and kids even for a few minutes. It’s refreshing working for a place that not only cares about the clients, but their staff as well. Would recommend to clients and staff interested in working with us

I've been bringing my girls here for years, they are very professional, love the crew, the Santas and love the photos. We look forward to our Christmas photos each year,
Thank you DFC and staff!

I have been coming here for 6 years and we always get the most amazing photos. Staff is professional, friendly & amazing with the kids. Always tell my daughter how beautiful she looks. I love that Santa always addresses my kids by name. Even though we only get 3 minutes I feel we get more then enough photos and they always use different things to get the kids excited.

Hands down one of my favorite Christmas traditions year after year! Each year we come back I am thrilled at the pictures that are captured, especially with my crew! I’ve always had a crying kid and the photographers have done an amazing job catching so many great shots! The order process is so incredibly easy! Definitely customers for life, thank you for making the entire experience easy and efficient!

I started coming to Danielle Foster Creations in 2019 when my first daughter was born. We got her 1st Christmas photos done when she was 6 weeks old. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. It happened to be a night when there was a car accident out front and the studio lost power right near the end of the session. They were so accommodating and let those affected by the power outage come back and take the photos again. I knew from that gesture they cared about their clients.

Fast forward to Christmas 2020, I applied to work for DFC and I was hired! I have LOVED working there more than Danielle knows! It brings such joy to my life watching all the kids experiences with Santa or the Bunny. My favorite photo sessions are the crying ones! "Embrace the Cry" has happened for 3 years with my now 4 year old and those might by my favorite photos ever!

This year we added twins to the mix and still come on dog night to keep the tradition alive! Can't wait for their crying photos down the road!

Danielle also did my daughter's 1st Birthday Milestone shoot which was such an amazing experience! I originally went to another photographer and they turned out horrible. Thank God for Danielle and her magic!

Getting to know all the Santa's and coworkers has made me feel like part of a dysFUNctional family, emphasis on FUN. We have all shared so many laughs and cries over the years. Glad to be part of such a wonderful crew! Hopefully Danielle let's me work there for many more years!

Danielle is one of the only photographers in the area that we’ve found that has a sensory night for Santa (and the bunny). My 11 year old is autistic and we have visited for the last 6 years and even though he is familiar with the staff (Danielle, Santa Jim, Santa Matthew and most of the other Santa’s) sometimes he just needs that extra minute to adjust. I think it’s important to note (especially for any mamas on the fence) that we have never been or felt rushed. We have always been met with a kind smile and a hushed tone (especially when it’s a little too noisy) we have been given the gift of magic by Danielle and her staff and all of the amazing Santa’s consistently. It may seem small but to this mama who constantly has to fight for inclusion and acceptance for a boy that just wants to be loved and feel safe it’s everything. He knows he is safe and special when he gets to see his friends from the North Pole!

I started to come to Danielle foster in 2020. It was a simple process that made me feel safe during that terrible year. I loved the pictures and experience so much we planned to come the following year. (Screams and all). 2021 on our way to get the pictures taken I received a phone call about a cancellation due to an emergency. Completely understandable! With a 5 and 3 year old in the car dressed for Santa we had to head to the mall. I was offered a date to come back immediately that night, once they had figured things out. I explained that we had to go to the mall cause the kids were not having it. I told her we would be back in 2022. I had a request though, I had misplaced my pictures from the year before and asked for them to be reprinted. I did not want them for nothing but she gave them to me without hesitation. In 2022 and 2023 I have returned. I will most likely keep coming until the boys say no and then maybe we’ll still come here. I also have started working here this season, and it is an enjoyable place to be. The kids and Santa are super fun to watch. The management is completely fair with all clients. I know from experience.

If I could give 0 stars. I would! I brought my 9mo old son here for Santa pictures and what a waste of time! For someone sOoOo sTrIcT oN tImEe, they pulled us late since they were behind on schedule and rushed us out. My son was crying which is expected for the age he is.but NO props to distract him from the terrifying Santa!? No one to give this little baby an extra minute to get 1 decent picture!? One of your staff members told us not to worry, you have props and jingle bells to help if they cry.where? Don’t even get me started on the Santa we chose. You’d think he’d be good with babies for doing this job? ! One minute my baby is crying and the next Santa places him on the floor and my son is crawling away screaming and you’re on to the next family. I’ve never seen such an unorganized place in my life! The dirty looks! The way they dismissed us because he was crying? How are you in this field with such little patience? Sad sad story. When i got my call back, I told her my complaints and all she said was “you don’t have to purchase the pictures if you don’t want to”. Ooooook.unfortunately it’s a little late to be scheduling Santa pictures so i ended up with 2 pictures of my son upset with Santa. Great. I could’ve looked past the rudeness of you and your staff if I at least got some decent pictures out of it, but I couldn’t even get that. My hope is you take this review and learn from it for the next baby! Maybe you’ll show them a prop or “jingle bells” or a smile or something to make their experience better. I see your responses on your bad reviews but please don’t waste your time responding to this one, it only makes your page look worse.

There were a few times when I passed the store. I was really impressed with the layout of the store. I hope to become your customer one day.
