How to Start a Side Business with Santa portraits

How to Start a Side Business with Santa portraits…even if you don’t have a retail studio.

Have you ever wondered how to add a real boost to your bottom line during the holiday season? There is more to Santa portraits than getting kids to sit on Santa’s lap. Come hear how to set up and run your own from a local Santa veteran.

Rob Resing of has been photographing this annual family tradition for the past 20 years. He will show you how he photographs 600 families per season, creating images only on weekends. Rob runs his Santa business by creating a ‘pop-up’ studio location. There will be nuggets of information for the experienced Santa photographer and for the newbie who is just starting out.

Families are looking for something normal. Not only is photographing Santa fun, it will add to the bottom line to your business. Rob will also spend some time talking about how he will be creating Santa portraits in this Covid-19 environment.

Rob Resing …. Personal friend of Santa

Rob Resing started his photographic career at the age of 13 with an Pentax K1000 camera and a trip to the World’s Fair. Rob came home with 178 pictures of metal, dirt and people’s shoes…and 1 image of his family, who only by accident, wandered in front of the lens.

Rob still has a fascination with rusted metal and dirt, but fuels a passion to photograph people. Rob credits his wife with giving him the push to open his own studio and refine his craft. Rob has been a past president of Seattle Professional Photographers Association.
