Santa is coming to Lombard.

Santa visits MWD Photography's studio in downtown Lombard during the holiday season, and Santa and Mrs. Claus join the Gingerbread Workshop afternoons in November. Families leave with real portraits from a professional photographer, not a quick snapshot.

At the holiday craft shows MWD Photography hosts, a five-minute photo session with Santa is $36.05 with one digital file or $72.10 with three digital files. A private Holiday / Santa session can also be requested on the Book a Session page.
