Sunday I headed over to the Claremont Country Club to help my photographer buddy Dennis Lodes cover their holiday party.

While he was roaming around taking candids, I was set up taking pictures of the kids with Santa and his helper.

Some kids were pretty casual about their wishes.

While other kids were very serious.

Some kids were very young and others a bit older

And one big kid, Dennis, sat with Santa too =)

Some kids were excited and happy to see Santa.

While other kids were a little cautious and dad had to chat with him first to confirm it was Santa and he was not scary to talk to.

But my favorite of all, was the kids who were absolutely terrified of Santa. It was like being on a live episode of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Here's to hoping everyone's Christmas wishes come true!!

Thanks Dennis for bringing me out to such a great event!
