Hello! I am Shea, the photographer and creative behind Beanie Bear Photography, a Minot-based studio focused on newborn, milestone, and childhood portraiture. My works mainly center on intentional storytelling and how capturing not just how a families season looked, but how it felt.
Guided by a belief that every family’s story deserves to be preserved with care, I approach photography as both an art form and a legacy. My style is soft, timeless, and emotion-led, allowing space for personality, connection, and authenticity to naturally unfold rather than be forced. Each session is thoughtfully designed to reflect the family as they are, creating imagery that remains meaningful long after trends fade.
Deeply becoming connected to the Minot community, I value the role of the arts in preserving shared history and personal identity. Through my work, I contribute to the local creative landscape by honoring individuality, fostering connection, and creating art that is rooted in story, memory, and belonging.
