About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
Christmas is a special time for children, we all remember those days of anticipation on our winter break from school waiting for the big day. I want to make Christmas fun for children and their families so if you look through my photos you will find fun pictures with Santa along with the traditional shots. I like to spend a little time with each child to hear what they have to say, I think it makes all the difference in just getting a Santa picture versus really meeting Santa.
Rick Meadows is a retired Chesterfield County Police officer. His career seemed to steer itself to the service and protection of children. Rick spent 5 years as a DARE officer then 3 years as a high school resource officer. Rick was then promoted to the child exploitation unit working with physically and sexually abused children. Rick was trained as a computer forensic examiner working internet child exploitation cases. Rick retired from Chesterfield Police in 2008 and currently works as a computer forensic examiner for Dominion Resources.
Rick began taking pictures as Santa with his grandchildren which led to more appearances for friends and family. Several years ago Rick decided to make more appearances as Santa because he saw a need for a safe, trustworthy Santa. His natural ability with kids and gentle nature has made him a successful Santa.
Santa Rick sports a high quality suit, real boots, real belt and best of all, a real beard.
Most of my appearances are with photographers and are booked a year in advance, please check my calendar for availability.
