Tiffany Rudy will be hosting Santa Mini Sessions on November 7th & 8th (2020) at Topsail Photo Studio!
Tiffany Rudy Photography…
By this point you’ve seen Tiffany’s work via our blog and social media whether you realize it or not. The quirky candids of Rachel and I, featuring the Fractured Prune Doughnuts and Coffee Haven?! She’s responsible for capturing those, and the reception has been so positive. Her personality is electric and her megawatt smile is infectious. You may also recognize her from our North Shore Juice piece, where she took bright and sunny photos of the smoothie churning, beach-side, bank-turned walk-up. We’re so excited to have her on board as a contributor to RCI+Topsail.
Topsail Photo Studio…
Topsail Photo Studio is a new addition to Holly Ridge, NC, brought to you by Above Topsail Photography & Media by Jeff Wenzel! There’s so much to tell about this new spot that you’ll have to stay tuned for our next blog post on it. It’s located on Highway 17 near the intersection of Hwy 50… in the industrial park behind the Gulfstream building.
The Santa Mini Sessions will be held rain or shine since it will be inside the studio.
Since the sessions are being held inside, the schedule includes breaks for social distancing and sanitization. Only one family will be permitted into the studio at a time. For any other questions about Santa and health precautions, please email Tiffany!

What’s Included in the Santa Mini Sessions?
Santa will be there to smile in your photos as well! Knowing that some kids are scared of Santa, you can opt for a Sneaky Santa Pic or just do family photos by the Christmas tree.
You can also choose to have individual winter themed photos as well… up to 8 individuals can be included in each mini session. You will also receive 10 digital images with your session.
Each session will last 20 minutes, with a break in between to maintain proper social distancing and for sanitization.
The session cost is $120, and a portion of your session fee will go to benefit the Onslow Women’s Shelter.

To recap, the $120 session fee includes:
- 10 Digital Images
- Santa
- 2 backdrop choices
- Option to preview and add on prints, wall art, and holiday cards
- Portion benefitting the Women’s Shelter

What to Wear
In a nutshell: Dress your children in winter or holiday attire; pajamas and neutral clothing choices are highly recommended. Read the full what to wear description here.
Tiffany loves neutral colors because they are classic! They don’t “age” or go out of style, and they are safe. Small pops of colors will look great during these sessions. The weather is cooler, Fall is upon us, and the holidays bring richer tones.
Colors to try: muted darker blue, brown, gold, dark gray, hunter green
