About Jessica Lamb (Rosa)
Christmas has been a part of my life and career for far longer than Holiday Photo Magic has existed.
For more than 30 years, I have worked as a professional photographer, creating portraits, commercial imagery, and artwork for families, businesses, publications, and organizations throughout the Midwest. Photography has allowed me to tell stories, preserve memories, and help people see themselves in a new light.
But there has always been something special about Christmas.
What began as creating holiday portraits for families eventually grew into something much larger. Year after year, I found myself drawn to the magic, imagination, and joy that Christmas brings. Before long, I was working with Santa Claus performers, Mrs. Clauses, Christmas Elves, and other holiday entertainers from across the country who wanted imagery that celebrated not only their character, but the heart and magic behind their portrayal.
This passion led to the creation of my year-round Christmas studio in Springfield, Missouri dedicated to celebrating the spirit of Christmas.
Today, the Christmas studio serves both families and the Christmas community seeking more than a traditional portrait session. Every image is carefully crafted using immersive sets, creative lighting, storytelling, and decades of professional experience and artistry. Whether it's an family heirloom, a Santa's marketing portfolio, or a promotional campaign for Mrs. Claus, my goal remains the same: to create images that gets attention.
When you visit Holiday Photo Magic, you're not just booking a photography session. You're stepping into a world built around imagination, wonder, storytelling, and the belief that Christmas is worth celebrating.
Holiday Photo Magic combines cinematic photography, creative design, and immersive Christmas environments to produce portraits that stand out. The result is artwork that not only captures attention but also celebrates the heart, imagination, and joy of Christmas.
For families, these portraits become treasured heirlooms. For Christmas professionals, they become powerful marketing tools that elevate your image, strengthen your portfolio, and help you connect with the audiences you serve.
At Holiday Photo Magic, we don't just take Christmas photos—we bring the magic to life!

For many years, I traveled throughout the country photographing Santa, Mrs. Claus, and other Christmas professionals. While those adventures created wonderful memories, the growing demand for sessions eventually made travel difficult to sustain without sacrificing the experience I wanted to provide. Beginning in 2025, Holiday Photo Magic transitioned to offering all sessions exclusively at our Christmas studio in Springfield, Missouri. This change allows me to devote my full attention to each client, while providing access to our immersive Christmas sets, professional lighting, and creative resources such a stylist and barber. The result is a more relaxed, collaborative experience that allows us to focus on what matters most—creating an extraordinary Christmas experience where you feel like a movie star and embrace the moment of being the Clauses! - Jessica Lamb
