What makes us Sturgis Photo & Gifts
A shop to explore.
A team to bring your ideas to.
There’s more behind the front door.
You might come in for a Deadwood T-shirt, a gift for your home, or a souvenir from a Black Hills road trip. Walk a little farther and you’ll find the other side of our business: tools, materials, photographs, and projects taking shape.
That connection is who we are. We understand the pleasure of finding something special—and the care it takes to make a personal piece feel finished.
Our name brings those strengths together: Photo is our connection to the moments you want to keep. Gifts is how you share them, wear them, and bring them home.

Custom framing & photo printing in Sturgis
Expertise you can see
in the details.
A frame is part of how a piece is seen. The mat, the proportions, the glass, and the way a keepsake is displayed all matter. We help you think through those choices, then put our in-house capabilities to work.
Custom picture framing and repairs →Framing & display
Custom frames, shadow boxes, cut mat boards, and picture-frame glass for photographs, artwork, and mementos.
Printing & design
Photo printing and custom design services, with a team you can talk to about your project.
Woodwork & personal projects

Part of the Main Street story
Sturgis is more
than a name on a shirt.
It’s a place people return to, friendships made on the road, and a Main Street full of stories. Our store’s roots in rally photography connect us to that experience.
We welcome rally visitors, Black Hills travelers, and our neighbors throughout the year. Whether you’re choosing Sturgis Motorcycle Rally apparel or looking for a photograph of the crowd you were part of, we help you carry that connection home.

Local roots.
A wider creative vision.
Today, Cem and the team are building on the store’s photography and framing heritage, bringing together gifts, apparel, custom design, and hands-on production. Experience in retail, product design, and rally merchandising helps shape that broader vision.
We want this to be the place you visit when you need a gift with character, a way to display something important, or someone who can help turn an idea into a real project. In the store or online, those are the same business—and the same commitment.
Help you find something meaningful.
Bring care and practical know-how to making it yours.
The person behind the beginning
Remembering
Bob Davis.
A photographer. A familiar voice.
A lasting part of Sturgis.
In 2009, Bob Davis brought his love of photography to a new gift shop, art gallery, and custom framing business. A Sturgis businessman, photographer, and radio personality, he helped make this a place people remember.
For many rally visitors, Bob was the familiar voice behind the megaphone and the photographer behind the Main Street crowd pictures. He had a way of turning a gathering of strangers into a shared Sturgis memory.
In March 2022, the community gathered on Main Street for a photograph in his honor. March 11 was proclaimed Bob Davis Day. Bob passed away on March 20, 2022, leaving a legacy of imagination, humor, and hometown pride.
The Sturgis Area Chamber of Commerce honored him with its 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award. Its Bob Davis Award continues to carry his name. We’re proud to keep his story part of ours.
