Bemidji themed minis

Themed Mini Session Days in Bemidji.

A few days each month, we build limited-edition themed sets and open the studio for quick, fun minis. Pick a set, grab a spot, and leave with a little magic.

Great for kids, siblings, cousins, besties, couples, and the whole family! Up to 4 people on set. Bringing 5 or more? We can make it work, just contact us first.

Mini Days: arrive early to choose your wardrobe. Pop-Ins don't include wardrobe access, so come dressed and ready.
New themes every month. See the theme calendar

Two ways to mini.

Both run on Mini Days only. Mini Day Sessions can use that month's themed sets or any standing set in the studio, and Pop-Ins use the preset themed sets. Want a custom set or your own date? That's The Anytime Mini.

Seasonal wall art

Fill your walls, one season at a time.

Themed Mini Days are one of the easiest ways to keep your home full of fresh photos. Hang spooky dolls for Halloween, cozy Christmas jammies for the holidays, and spring bunnies at Easter, then swap them out as the seasons change.

Come back to the same theme year after year and you'll have heirloom art that shows just how much they've grown.

Good to know

Mini session questions.

What's the difference between a Mini Day Session and a Pop-In?

A Mini Day Session is 15 minutes on set with 7 edited images and a same-day viewing to pick your favorites. A Pop-In is a quick 5 minutes with 2 images, and Arica picks your best ones for you, so there's no viewing. Sessions run back to back, so please arrive on time, and come early if you're using studio wardrobe.

What should we wear?

Mini Day Sessions include our studio wardrobe, with outfits for babies, kids, and moms styled to each set. Pop-Ins don't include wardrobe, so come dressed and ready. You're always welcome to bring your own favorites too.

Who can be in a mini?

Can I request a custom set on a Mini Day?

When will we get our photos?

Mini Day Sessions pick favorites at the same-day viewing, and Pop-In images are chosen by Arica. Final edited images are delivered within two weeks of your session once payment is complete.

What if we need to reschedule?

Are outdoor minis OK for babies in cold weather?

For safety, little ones under 3 aren't photographed outdoors below 32°F. Not to worry, we have plenty of cozy indoor sets.

Can I take my own photos during the session?

Phones stay in the lobby, but we love behind-the-scenes moments! Just ask, and we'll make sure it happens without slowing down your session.
