Photography - Richfield Portrait Photography

My name is Mandy Stadther and I am owner - operator of Richfield Portrait Photography.

For nearly nine years and 8000 mini sessions later Richfield Portrait Photography has delivered quality, creative and affordable family photography.

Along with mini sessions for children there are also sessions for high school seniors, families, pets and newborns. We smash cakes and take photos for business cards and online profiles.

Session fees start at either $50 for a 30 minute session and $80 for one hour for birthday, milestone or seasonal sessions.

The session fee is all you pay for all the photos we took. I put your images on a USB which you take home with you or you can buy a USB from me for $10.

There are no sales sessions, you don't have to pay anything in addition to your session.

Cash is the preferred method of payment but PayPal, credit or debit card or check work too.

I would be happy to make simple edits for up to 10 photos for issues such as newborn rashes, pimples or little drools.

The session fee is per household.

Although I keep things pretty simple, there are plenty of backdrops and props. I have more than 100 backdrops, many fake cakes and cupcakes, things to sit on and ride as well as many seasonal props. You can browse through the galleries to pick out a backdrop that matches your outfits before you arrive to maximize photo taking time.

The sessions are held in my fully equipped home studio in Richfield. There is a bath room for changing and plenty of places to sit. It is two miles from the Mall Of America.

If you have any questions please use the "contact" form at the bottom of the page or use the chat icon on the home page.
