This is not a workshop you attend and try to piece together later. This is where your Santa experience is built with you, inside your studio, for your market. Every decision is intentional. Every piece has a purpose. When the season arrives, you are not hoping it works… you know it does. Because it has already been created, tested, and proven… with you behind the camera.
Times are changing...but are they?
Over time, this industry will change.
It already is.
AI will get better.
Faster.
More convincing.
But there is one thing it will never replace…
A child sitting on Santa’s lap.
A whispered secret only Santa is meant to hear.
The moment a child believes… completely.
The way a mother watches it happen… and feels it.
These are not images that can be generated.
They are moments that must be created.
And when they are created with intention…
they do more than fill a gallery.
They become something a family holds onto.
Chris Fritchie, M.Photog., M.Artist, Cr., CPP
Chris Fritchie is an internationally recognized portrait photographer and educator, known for his work in storytelling and fine art portraiture.
His work has been recognized at the highest levels of the industry, including being named MPI 2024 International Portrait Photographer of the Year. He was also awarded Best of Show at the Texas Professional Photographers Association for his children’s fine art portraiture, and has earned the Texas ASP State Elite Award in both 2024 and 2025.
Chris holds the prestigious Master of Photography, Master Artist, and Master Craftsman degrees from the Professional Photographers of America, and is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP). His work has been honored across multiple national, state, and local competitions.
But competition has never been about collecting awards.
More than a decade ago, Chris made a decision that his work would never become irrelevant. He continues to compete and place his work in front of the best photographers in the world… not for validation, but for accountability.
It is how he sharpens his craft, challenges his assumptions, and ensures that his work continues to meet the highest standards recognized across the industry.
That same expectation carries into his teaching.
He challenges his students to do the same… to pursue growth, to seek honest evaluation, and to create work that holds up under the highest level of scrutiny.
Because this work carries responsibility.
Studio 1919 was built from that belief.
