Welcome To Richfield Portrait Photography
My name is Mandy Stadther and I am owner-operator of Richfield Portrait Photography.
For nearly nine years and more than 8000 mini sessions later, Richfield Portrait Photography has become one of the busiest studios in Minneapolis - St Paul Metro.
Along with mini sessions for children there are also sessions for high school seniors, families and pets. We smash cakes and take photos for business cards and online profiles.
Baby milestone, birthday and seasonal sessions are $50 for a 30 minute session and $80 for one hour.
Senior sessions are $70 for 30 minutes or $150 for one hour and 15 minutes.
Check the tabs above for pricing for other 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 images.
The session fee is per household. and the studio is limited to eight people.
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.

I have been a photographer for 40 years, beginning in old 1980's darkrooms and one hour labs to a national Kodak lab and a long stint as a chief reporter and photographer in a New Zealand newspaper. As a senior journalist and chief reporter I have published hundreds of news, feature articles and photographs.
