Located in Downtown Bangor Maine Kristen McKay Photo delivers a top notch experience. No stiff poses. No fake smiles. Just relaxed, confident photos that capture your real personality — whether you’re updating your LinkedIn, showing up for your brand, or even refreshing your dating profile.
Headshots vs. Branding Sessions — What’s the Difference?
If your current “professional photo” is a cropped family pic or a selfie from 2019…
it’s officially time for an upgrade
Let’s break it down.
Headshots
Headshots are quick, clean, and professional — perfect for LinkedIn, company websites, or business cards.
Think of them as your digital handshake. You walk in, we do a short, guided session, and you walk out with a polished, confident image that says, “Yep, I’ve got my life together.”
They’re ideal if you just need a fresh, professional portrait — no stress, no overthinking.
Branding Sessions
Branding sessions go deeper. They’re about storytelling — showing off your personality, process, and what makes you or your business unique.
Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or service-based pro, branding sessions are all about connection and confidence. We’ll plan your shoot around your brand vibe, outfits, colors, and where you’ll actually use the photos (website, social, marketing, you name it).
It’s not just a photoshoot — it’s your visual identity in motion.
Dating & Lifestyle Sessions
And hey — maybe you’re not rebranding your business, but you are ready to update your dating profile or social media.
These sessions are like branding, but for your personal life.
We’ll capture relaxed, natural images that show your best energy — no cheesy poses, no fake smiles, just you looking confident, happy, and approachable.
