A meaningful brand refresh, without the full-day commitment.


Hi, I'm Kristin. I know stepping in front of a camera can feel intimidating. My goal isn't to make you pose perfectly. It's to help you relax enough that the version of yourself your clients already know finally shows up in your photos.



Mini Brand Photoshoot

Not every business needs a full Beacon Session right now. The Mini Brand Session is a shorter, more focused option for business owners who want a quick refresh of their visuals without the full investment. Offered a few times a year in limited availability, these sessions are perfect for a seasonal update, a new offer launch, or simply filling the gaps in your content library.

 

Here's what you walk away with:


30 Minute Session: A quick, focused session that still leaves room to relax and be yourself.

Group Vision Call + Prep Guidance: A shared call to walk through what to expect and how to prepare, so you show up ready.

Camera-Ready Touch Ups: Light makeup application and minor hair touch ups included. Full hair styling or major changes are not part of this session.

Up to 2 Looks: One quick outfit change or accessory swap, plus two props to add variety.

Natural Direction: Simple, easy guidance through each setup, no overthinking required.

Curated Location: A pre-chosen spot selected to fit the season or theme of the session.

2 B-Roll Phone Clips: Short behind the scenes content for your own marketing.

Wardrobe + Styling Help: Simple styling tips to help you feel put together.

Gallery Delivery: You'll receive a curated proof gallery of approximately 30-40 images and choose your favorite five. Need more? Additional images are available for $35 each, or upgrade to the full gallery for $450.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kristin and I cannot recommend her enough! She has an incredible gift for capturing not just beautiful images, but the essence of who you are and the heart behind the work you do.


As a birth and postpartum doula, I wanted photos that felt warm, grounded, and authentic—Kristin delivered all of that and more. She made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process, and her calming presence made the shoot such a joy. The final images brought me to tears—in the best way. They truly reflect both my personality and my calling.


If you’re looking for a photographer who will see you deeply and reflect that in her work, Kristin is it. I’m so grateful for these photos and the experience behind them!

Testimonials

"Working with Kristin McGlone and her team was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The attention to detail throughout the mini branding shoot was truly spot on. Kristin has a natural ability to make every person feel seen and valued, and she created an environment where each of us felt comfortable and confident in front of the camera.


The entire day felt fun, light, and relaxed, which made a huge difference when trying to capture authentic photos and video. Kristin’s professionalism and energy set the tone for the whole experience.


Her team was equally impressive. Melissa Holtzclaw of Alpine Beauty did a fantastic job with makeup, creating a polished look that still felt natural and true to each person. Kiley Howard, who handled the video content, was an absolute blast to work with. She made the video portion feel easy and relaxed, helping capture genuine moments without it ever feeling forced.


Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Kristin McGlone and her team to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and enjoyable branding shoot."
