BUZZ FROM KISSING TREE STUDIO

Kissing Tree Studio has doubled in size. The expansion began in January of 2014 with the addition of a full service framing facility, an elegant pickup and delivery room and a second camera room. Why a second camera room you ask? This brings us to the second piece of big news …

THE BIRTH OF A NEW SANTA SET!

Portrait Artist Larry Hersberger is known for his award winning and internationally acclaimed Fine Art Portraiture. For the last four years he has created amazing images using his Santa’s Workshop Set with International Hall of Fame Santa, Cliff Snider. This is a set which he personally designed and built right in his High Point studio. It is a classic and timeless Santa look. Many families have booked their sessions and loved this classic storybook setting which has led to many happy clients who now want the “next” Santa look for their growing children. The look still needed to feature Santa, yet have a different feel and story. This got Larry thinking and designing. He dedicated one area of the new camera room to become SANTA’S DEN featuring a classic Santa rocking chair, an antique cast iron stove, two beautifully lit Christmas trees, numerous vintage toys and a window overlooking a winter wonderland!

TWO CHOICES

Now there is a choice of two world class Santa sets. Your child will experience the most enchanting time of their life with this live theatrical portrait session. With artist Larry Hersberger directing the splendor and magic, Christmas is brought to life. Your child will live the story of their dream on the night before Christmas. In that story book dream they will go to Santa’s house at 5 minutes to midnight.

With his meticulous eye for detail and unique style Mr. Hersberger will produce a series of personalized art that will be cherished and loved for generations. Even the most timid children can’t stifle their smiles as they participate in creating their custom work of art. So whether you are a child a parent or a grandparent, there is nothing more memorable then the adventures awaiting you at Kissing Tree Studio.
