Santa Jim is a husband of 30 years, the father of three adult children with special needs, and an ordained United Methodist minister.

He retired when the pandemic began, and Santa Jim, having learned from the best, has taken up the “family business.” Santa Jim lives in Burlington, North Carolina with his wife and daughter.
Santa Jim will be warm, friendly, kind and compassionate from beginning to end. As the father of children with special needs, he will do whatever he can to accommodate all children and to help them to feel included. Having worked with top-notch photographers, Santa Jim knows how to draw children into poses that make great photographs. Most of all, Santa Jim will share the magic, wonder, and love of Christmas with young and old alike. He looks forward to helping you make Christmas memories that will last a lifetime.
