Welcome to Little Bean Photography - Family photography in Minneapolis
Photography that Captures the Heart of Your Family
Smile Big. Live Silly.
Making Memories
Hi! I'm Elissa Bean, the photographer and owner of Little Bean Photography. I've been helping families create memories and heirloom images for families in and around Minneapolis for over 20 years. I photograph babies, little kids, big kids and families in my own unique, casual, no fuss no muss candid portrait style. Let's bring the fun to family photography together! My mantra has always been...SMILE BIG. LIVE SILLY.
My Approach
The great outdoors, your home or a place that holds a special place in your heart is my "studio". I come equipped with my photography gear and use your backgrounds and natural lighting to create images that speak to you and your family. Every session is completely unique to you and your family at that moment in time.
What to Expect
I've raised three kids and have two stepsons to boot. I get it! But just leave the stress in the minivan...Expect the hardest part to be getting ready for your session and know that generally nothing goes perfectly but that's what makes every session SPECIAL. Once we are together, I will handle the heavy lifting to let you relax with your kids and I'm happy to make a fool out of myself to do it. I think, after 20 years, I have probably seen anything and everything that could possibly go wrong and (more importantly) make it look FANTASTIC.
