Meet Your Photographer, Carol

Hi, I'm Carol—the Western Mass entrepreneur behind EC Bean Photography, named after my two inspirations, Emma and Connor. Photography has always been my dream, rekindled when my children were born. Capturing those first moments with my own family led me down this path, and what began with family portraits soon grew into something more.

Turning Moments into Stories for Brands for the Pioneer Valley

Today, the foundation in families has turned into a focus on helping small businesses and entrepreneurs tell their stories in the same way. I bring a lifestyle and documentary approach to branding photography, creating images that capture the personality, purpose, and passion behind each business. From newborns to brands, it all starts with telling your story.

With years of experience as an entrepreneur, and someone who put off her dream for a while, I love to help small businesses clarify their mission, and share their passion with the world through brand photography. I’m so grateful to all those who trust me and welcome me into their family or business.
