Hi, I’m Kristen — the heart behind Jellybean Dreams.

I’m a children’s photographer - specializing in families raising children with disabilities and children with disabilities based in the Twin Cities metro area and a proud mom who knows just how quickly the little years fly by. I officially launched Jellybean Dreams on June 13th, 2025 — fresh off the starting line and ready to capture all the giggles and goofy faces. Since 2022, I’ve also worked in special education, which has deepened my understanding, patience, and love for working with children of all abilities. I also know basic American Sign Language (ASL), which helps me better support and engage with more families.

At Jellybean Dreams, every session is designed to be playful, relaxed, and pressure-free — whether your child is silly, shy, spirited, or needs a little extra time and care. I specialize in capturing genuine moments that reflect each child’s unique personality, quirks, and joy.

Every child deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered just as they are - and that’s exactly what I aim to do with every photo. 📸✨

Let’s make magic out of the everyday. 🍭
