St. Charles Christmas Traditions

A portrait with Santa, on Main Street

Santa on Main is the Santa portrait studio at Christmas Traditions in St. Charles, Missouri. The same photographers have been behind the camera here for more than 15 years, so your visit is quick and the portrait is one you’ll frame.

Your visit

What to expect

Christmas Traditions runs along historic Main Street each holiday season. Santa’s house is part of it, and so are we.

  1. Find Santa’s house

    Follow the costumed characters down Main Street to Santa’s house. Our photographer is set up inside with Santa.

  2. Have your visit

    Kids talk, Santa listens. We photograph the moment while it happens, so nobody has to hold a pose. Grown-ups, couples and dogs are welcome in the picture too.

  3. Pick your photos

    You’ll see the portraits right away and choose what you’d like. Prints and digital files are both available, and you can order more later.

After your visit

Printing your photos

Photo labs often ask for permission before printing professional portraits. The Strupp, LLC print release gives you that permission, so you can print your Santa photos anywhere you like.
