We also hold a Pet Photos with Santa fundraiser each year and it is something many of our people look forward to, some even get a hold of us in advance to see if/when we are holding it! We have been lucky to have a professional photographer who is willing and able to donate their time, but one year when she was unavailable, we used peoples own phones to take the photos. We provided the Santa, backdrop and location and we cut the donation price drastically to compensate. Most people have a phone that takes quality photos, but if people didn't have a smart phone we offered to take the photos with our phones and we sent/email them the pictures. This actually worked really well, and is a good option for anyone who doesn't have the convivence of a photographer.

One fundraiser that has been successful for us is Photos with Santa. People bring their fur babies &/or human babies and get cute pictures with Santa. Photos are sent digitally and it is all donation based. It's a fun way to include people in the neighborhood and build relationships.
