About Amelia Island Santa Amelia Island Santa, also known as, Santa Dave Sutton has been enchanted by Christmastime since childhood. He credits his mother with making the Christmas season magical. Santa Dave is a lifelong native from Fernandina Beach, Florida on beautiful Amelia Island. Amelia Island Santa allows your child to meet santa in his workshop and get professional pictures taken of the experience. Amelia Island Santa's workshop is located in Fernandina Beach, FL and provides a magical experience that will make a lasting memory for your child and a great christmas picture of your child Absolutely, letters to Santa Claus are part of the experience. This is important to follow closely. If you would like to have your child write a letter to Santa Claus, Santa would love to hear from them. Encourage them to use moderation when asking for toys. You may want to let them know that their family is gifting certain “big ticket” toys. The logic here is that if your child gets very expensive presents or simply lots of presents from Santa Claus and they share that information with other children who may only get a couple things, they could create a feeling of hurt in the mind of a child who does not understand why Santa Claus gave their gifts differently. Now if Santa only brings a small number of toys and the rest are from family, the hurt can be avoided. Remind them, if it arises, that Santa’s magic is limited to toys. He cannot bring back relatives or pets that have passed away, cure diseases, bring military folks home from deployments, or help restore broken marriages. Now after they write their letter, place it in an envelope addressed to: Santa Claus, North Pole. Without their knowledge, place that envelope inside another envelope and mail to: Amelia Island Santa or Santa Claus 2107 Oak Bluff Court, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034. Santa will read your child’s letter and stamp it naughty or nice and place a short note from Santa Claus. (They are all nice). When your child arrives they will receive the letter back as a keepsake. If you have more than one child coming, have them each write letters in individual envelopes. Place those together in a single envelope and mail as shown above. We believe that the individual attention required for each child to have the cherished experience that we are striving to achieve would limit, in most cases, to three children from a family. Individual cases, such as a family with much older children mixed with younger ones might work, assuming the older children are there in the true spirit of the experience. If you have more children please select two time slots. That is a different story. Please email us to provide the specific allergy and we will either find an alternative or not use the milk and cookies part at all. Typically, yes. We are not in a rush given that you have a half hour. Let them explore the workshop and allow Santa Claus to interact as things develop. It may be best to have your own interest in the surroundings and not focus on the child. That communicates trust and confirms that this is a safe place to the child. In rare cases, Santa Claus and his elves may have to get creative to capture the moments. No cell phones at all. No cell phone sounds, rings, buzzes, etc. I know this is a tough one in today’s world, but they are a distraction from what we are trying to accomplish.

The speed of having them available will depend entirely on the workshop’s production schedule.

You will received professional photos that you cherish for years to come and your child will have an unforgettable experience. Amelia Island Santa was born from the idea that most children have a less than memorable experience when meeting Santa Claus at typical photo events. The few seconds allowed at the photo opportunities in malls or other venues leave a lot to be desired. Imagine getting in line with your child. They have on their cute clothes, hair just right, well rested, they have eaten recently and been to the potty. You are all set. Now they wait and watch. Watch other children being scared. Watch children refuse to sit with Santa. They start to get concerned or worse yet, terrified. Then they get either hungry or tired. Bored silly and restless. Now they tell you they have to potty again. What to do? Now if you survive all that and get to Santa and your child cooperates. The best you can hope for is a couple quick questions from Santa and a couple clicks of the camera while “posing” and you are off to buying a photo package that may not seem like a bargain, but you have worked hard for this and you aren’t going to try again.
