Photos with Santa!
Born
and raised in Salmon Creek, Tim Matthiesen (aka Santa Tim) has been married to
his wife, Pam, for over 35 years. Together they have two children and 4
grandchildren. Being Santa has been a dream of Tim’s for several years.
Finally, with the help of New Castle Photography, he is able to fulfill that
dream.
“Most
of my life I have had a beard, but about a decade ago it became Santa white,”
chuckles Tim. “For years now, as my wife and I are out and about, little kiddos
will run up to me with a big hug or they will take my hand in theirs. They will
look up at me with the biggest smiles – ‘Hi SANTA! How are you doing? Are you
in disguise?’ they may ask. It warms my heart to see how excited they are.”

New Castle Photography has designed a
classically beautiful holiday setting, not found in a typical mall photo. They
have exclusive holiday photo packages with no sitting fees, and priced to fit
every budget.
“Our goal is for every child and family
to have a warmhearted experience of talking one-on-one with Santa - giggling,
smiling, and telling him that they have been ‘good’ this year, creating
memories that will last a lifetime,” says Cassandra Parker, co-owner of New
Castle Photography.
