The Studio
Baby Bean Photography is located in historic Downtown Delano, inside a beautifully restored red brick building dating back to 1883. Once home to the Eagle Printing Company, the space now blends preserved architectural character with a refined, modern aesthetic.
Soft natural light, layered textures, and a neutral palette create an atmosphere that feels peaceful and unhurried. The studio is thoughtfully arranged to support newborn, family, and milestone sessions — with space to settle in, breathe, and simply be together.
From the moment you arrive, the experience is designed to feel effortless: a quiet place to slow down, connect, and allow your story to unfold naturally. Welcoming families from Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, and surrounding communities.
About Baby Bean
Hi, I’m Rachel — the heart behind Baby Bean Photography.
I believe your baby’s earliest days deserve to be documented gently, honestly, and without pressure.
My work is centered around growing families, with a focus on newborn, motherhood, and family sessions designed to feel calm, connected, and gently guided. My goal isn’t just to create beautiful images; it’s to create a space where you feel supported, seen, and able to simply be present with the people you love most.
Whether you’re stepping into the studio for the first time or returning with another little one in your arms, I’m here to guide you through an experience that feels peaceful from beginning to end.
