About Us

Formerly Professor Bellows Photographics, the old time photo studio has been making memories in Mall of America ® since it’s opening in 1992. From the darkroom to digital we have maintained a reputation for quality and excellence.  We pride ourselves in providing a fun experience and a treasured keepsake for our guests. Whether on vacation or a mall regular, getting dressed up in old fashioned costumes is a fun experience for all ages.  Capturing memories for all to enjoy is our passion.

As a freshman at the University of Minnesota Rachael came to MOA with her best friends and they decided to do a Roaring 20’s flapper photo.  It was so much fun! The photo was proudly displayed in her dorm room. Shortly after Rachael started working at the studio part time in 2003 while studying theatre and photography at the U of M. She began managing the studio in 2005, shortly after, Lando came in with his grandmother for a wild west photo shoot where he met Rachael and was introduced to the old time photo business. Rachael continued to manage the old time studio and Santa business and it wasn’t long until they became the proud owners of both. Lando’s business background and Rachael’s passion for photography have made them strong partners. Whenever Rachael and Lando travel they are always on the lookout for old time photo studios as it never ceases to be fun and serves both as entertainment and the perfect souvenir.
