Some seasons of
pass before you realize they were happening.
Childhood
We help you hold onto this one.
Childhood moves faster than any of us expect.
At Templin Photography, we create calm, private experiences where your child feels safe, seen, and unhurried. We turn what unfolds into heirloom artwork your family will return to for the rest of your lives.
This is not about the perfect pose. It is about preserving the season exactly as it was.
Magical
Memories
with Santa
A private, 45-minute visit with Santa in his North Pole workshop that is designed around your child, not a camera.
From the personalized invitation that arrives in the mail to the moment they spot a reindeer in the window, every detail is intentional. Every moment is theirs.
What we photograph becomes heirloom artwork. The kind that lives on your wall and gets pulled out every Christmas for the rest of your life.
Experience Magical Memories with Santa
The boys had the time this
weekend. Santa knew their names
and them with details
about their likes to truly keep the
alive for one more year.

behind the lens
We have been photographing together since 2007.
What started as a love of capturing genuine moments has grown into something we feel deeply called to: creating experiences that children trust and families return to, year after year.
MEET Pete & Alison
Pete brings a mastery of studio lighting and a calm, steady presence that children respond to immediately. His background in technology sharpened an instinct for precision. That precision shows in every image we deliver.
I got into this work because I understand how fragile childhood feels when you're paying attention.
Growing up in a military family, Christmas was my anchor. It was something steady that found me no matter where we were. That experience shaped everything about how I approach this work. I create the environments, the story arcs, the moments worth photographing. I know what it means to need something worth holding onto.

Preserving
Beyond Magical Memories with Santa, we create heirloom experiences for the milestones that pass too quickly. Whether it's first birthdays, early childhood portraits, or high school seniors. Each session is private, unhurried, and designed around the child in front of us.
Have a specific season of childhood you want to preserve? We would love to hear what you are envisioning.
