Location & Set Designs

We’re so excited to welcome families to this year’s Santa Claus Experience at Fable Studio, Katie’s cozy new space tucked inside the historic downtown district of Watertown. With its tall paned-glass windows and original cream city brick walls, the studio is full of warmth, charm, and that little touch of nostalgia that makes the holidays feel extra special.

This year’s event features two thoughtfully designed studio sets. Each one is created to bring the wonder of the season to life and give your family a gallery full of magic.

Set ONE: The Tinsel Trees (family portraits)

Our first set is reserved just for your family. This space features a rich velvet couch, oversized metallic tinsel trees, glowing light accents, and a sculptural installation of hanging ornaments in warm gold, bronze, champagne, and warm neutral tones. It’s elegant, whimsical, and made to let your family take center stage. This is your moment for beautiful, frame-worthy holiday portraits.

Set TWO: Golden Star (with Santa)

This is where your child meets the real Santa, one on one, in a quiet and intimate space designed for pure holiday wonder. The brick wall backdrop is paired with a curved ivory sofa, metallic-wrapped gifts, and cascading gold stars overhead. The setting is dreamy, magical, and styled in classic holiday tones like deep reds, gold, black, and winter neutrals. It’s the perfect stage for sharing wish lists, wide-eyed smiles, and sweet, timeless portraits with Santa himself.

every session includes time on both sets, so you’ll walk away with a full variety of images form Santa magic to polished family photos and everything in between.
