SANTA
FRANK

A familiar face, a gentle heart, and the true spirit of Christmas.

Santa Frank has been bringing magic to our studio for five unforgettable years—and the families who meet him return again and again. With his real beard, warm smile, and calming presence, Santa Frank makes every child feel seen, heard, and special. Whether it’s your baby’s first visit or your big kid’s fifth, he takes the time to connect and create a moment they’ll never forget.

This isn’t a rushed mall photo. This is an experience.
Santa Frank brings the wonder of the North Pole right to our cozy St. Louis studio—where stories are told, laughter is shared, and real memories are made.
