The studio
Five camera rooms, 30+ custom indoor and outdoor sets on nearly 3 acres, and a warehouse full of props and backdrops. Arica designs the whole scene and fills every corner, so your session feels like stepping into your own story, not standing in front of a sheet.

More than a backdrop
Most studios hand you a backdrop and a stool. Here, you get rooms. We have hundreds of backdrops, themes, and props tucked inside these walls, plus a studio closet basically big enough to qualify as a thrift store.
You don't need a perfectly planned Pinterest board. Tell us a little about your people, what you love, and what you imagine, and we'll bring it to life. Simple and classic, cozy and lived-in, or a newborn who really needs a fishing boat. You get to breathe. We handle the details.

The outdoor studio
Step out back and you'll find themed sets all over the studio grounds. Vintage vehicles, a baby grand piano in the field, a gazebo surrounded by blooming gardens, and a classic open field for those golden-light family photos.
Whether you want a quick mini session or a full experience with time to wander between sets, we make the most of every short Minnesota summer and every crisp fall evening.

Custom sets
Want a full theme? Alice in Wonderland, a wizarding castle, Winnie the Pooh, unicorns, dinosaurs, a little lumberjack with Babe the Blue Ox. Want something simple with a pop of your favorite color? We love that too. Tell us what you're picturing and we'll build the scene around your people.
We've built custom spaces for seniors who wanted something no one else had, newborn setups around a family heirloom, and full themed worlds for milestone birthdays. If it lives in your head, there's a good chance it can live in the studio.

Good to know
Custom and specialty sets carry an added cost, quoted once we chat about your idea. The more lead time you give us, the more magic we can make.
No idea is too big, too small, or too weird. Arica reads every one.
