– 20 Years of Magical Memories

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"We have used Shari Lynn Fine Arts Portraits for a number of years to capture the magic of Christmas with my grandchildren through her Santa Experience. My grandson truly believes he is spending time with the “real” Santa and has loved each time he has gotten to visit with Santa.(3 times). ❤️

The photos are priceless and will be treasured for years to come. Shari does amazing work!! The photos are expensive but worth it. I consider these a fine piece of art that I’ll never have a chance to capture again. I have never regretted my purchases.

Shari creates magic for sure. Santa and Shari are always amazing and so good with the children. I can’t say enough good things about my experiences with Shari."

One last Christmas season to capture the magic of the believing years in timeless portraits

After 20 wonderful years… this will be the final season of The Pittsburgh Santa Experience.

For two decades, I’ve had the privilege of watching children’s eyes light up when Santa calls them by name. I’ve seen families return year after year, building traditions, sharing laughter, and preserving the magic of the believing years in portraits that will be treasured for a lifetime.

This chapter is coming to a close — but the memories we’ve created together will live on in your homes, your hearts, and your holiday stories.

What began as a dream — to create a stress-free, magical, one-on-one Santa experience — grew into something far greater. Together, we’ve built a place where children could truly believe, and parents could see the wonder reflected in their child’s eyes.

From the letters mailed from the North Pole, to the handmade pajama sets, to the quiet giggles when Santa knew their best friend’s name — every detail was created with love, care, and the hope of giving you something irreplaceable: a memory that feels like Christmas magic.

If you’d like to join me for this final season, I would love to see you. Sessions are limited, and once this year ends, the Pittsburgh Santa Experience will become a treasured memory.

Don't let this chance slip away to create an unforgettable, uninterrupted meeting with Santa Claus.

Secure your spot for a Pittsburgh Santa experience that your child will cherish forever.

Reserve today and let the enchantment begin!

November 1st - 2nd!

Stories from Families Who’ve Experienced the Magic

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This business is a class act all the way. From a zoom call to learn about the children…..so Santa has all the inside info, to a letter stamped from the North Pole addressed to each child directly from Santa. Oh, and Santa……real beard, personality plus and the patience of a saint.

My twin grands were a challenge but we still had many great shots to choose from. Truth be told…..too many good ones.

The studio is very clean and comfortable. We will be back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐For Christmas last year, my family wanted to find a Santa experience photo session that was special for the kids and memorable for our family. So we turned to Shari for help with making the experience unique. Shari is excellent, and we plan to see her again this coming December. Her attention to detail is unmatched by any other photographer we've encountered, and the experience for the kids was a treat. Santa flew in from the North Pole and engaged with my kids for most of the session.

Shari shines through with her attention to detail in post-production on the pictures. At this step, the true magic in the photos comes to light. When we saw the photos during the grand reveal, we could see the magic of the moment in our kids' eyes. In that brief moment, they talked and played with the real Santa Claus. You won't get this moment in a mall. Those places are focused on money and nothing else. Shari is instead focused on the moment. You won't regret working with her for your next family Christmas session.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Our experience at the Santa Experience was SO incredible & magical!! The attention to detail to the photo session and the magic Santa & Shari bring are outstanding! My kids cannot stop talking about it & neither can we. We left with the Christmas Spirit flying high!! We cannot wait to see the photos :)

Dear Friends,

Over the years, I’ve watched shy little ones slowly open up, siblings share whispered secrets, and parents wipe away quiet tears as they saw their children lost in the magic. Many of your children have grown up in front of my camera — and it has been my greatest honor to capture these fleeting moments for you.

As I step into new photographic chapters, I carry every smile, every laugh, and every sparkle in the eyes of your children with me. Thank you for letting me be part of your Christmas traditions.

With love and gratitude,
Shari
