The Woodlands Headshot Photographer | Headshots for Michele

Tara Flannery is The Woodlands headshot photographer based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX.  See more headshots in the gallery.  Contact me to schedule your individual headshot session or a corporate session for the entire company.

Why put a headshot on your company website?

It’s my job to investigate and research websites and evaluate the headshots posted as The Woodlands headshot photographer.  I do it every time I visit a new website – I go to the “meet the team” or “about us” page and check out the people.  I know many of you do the same thing.  People do business with people!  It can be any website from my daughter’s horse farm to the pediatric dentist to the financial planner.  It is my opinion that every company should have a simple, effective website that is easy for customers to navigate and find the information that they’re looking for.  And every website should have at least the owner and management team pictured on the website.  It’s helpful if there are also photos of the staff who will be interacting with customers on a routine basis.  When headshots are posted on a website, potential clients have essentially “met” you before they even walk through your door.  There is a level of comfort and familiarity that breeds confidence.

Stutman Law’s newest lawyer, Michele

Doesn’t it feel like you already know Michele?  If I didn’t know her, I would feel very comfortable (after seeing her headshot) sitting down with her to discuss my legal needs.  Michele is the newest lawyer with Stutman Law in the Houston office.  She actually worked with Rick and Cindy years ago and is rejoining their team after an extended leave to be with her children (go Michele)!  The Stutman Law website features headshots for each of their attorneys.  Once you click on a thumbnail image of an attorney, you are taken to a new page with a larger photo and bio for that person.  It’s a great layout – first seeing the thumbnail and then getting a better sense of surroundings and who they are by seeing the entire photo.  Stutman law truly embraces the idea that posting headshots on your website is a great way to meet potential clients before they ever step into your office!

I’m gonna let you in on my secret… 👀

These are the camera settings I use as my starting point when I’m shooting during golden hour:

☀️ APERTURE
For one person: f/2.8–f/3.2
For families or groups: f/5.6

A wider aperture gives you that beautiful separation and soft background when you’re photographing one person. With a group, I stop down to help keep everyone in focus.

☀️ SHUTTER SPEED
I start around 1/160 sec—but if I have kids running, a couple moving around, or anything else with more movement, I’ll increase my shutter speed to keep everything sharp.

☀️ ISO
ISO 400 is my starting point, and then I adjust up or down depending on how much light I have.

The biggest thing to remember? These aren’t magic numbers you have to use every time.

Golden hour changes quickly, and your settings should change with it. Use these as a starting point, watch your light, and adjust for the people and movement in front of your camera.

And if you’re building your photography kit and wondering what gear is actually worth investing in, I put together my Photographer’s Gear Guide with the cameras, lenses, lighting, and equipment I use in my own business.

Class of 2027, the clock is ticking! 🎓📸

Yearbook deadlines are getting closer, which means there’s not much time left to get those fall senior portraits on the calendar.

Senior photos are about so much more than checking a yearbook photo off the list. This is your chance to capture their personality, style, interests, and who they are during one of the biggest years of their life.

If senior portraits are still sitting on your fall to-do list, this is your sign to get them booked!

🎓 Now booking fall senior sessions. Head to the link in my bio to get started.

Come spend a headshot + branding day with me! 📸

One of my favorite things about on-location sessions is getting to step into a client’s space and create images that actually feel connected to their business.

We can capture updated headshots, team photos, working shots, office details, and plenty of branding content—all without your team having to leave the office.

A lot goes into a shoot day, but this is the fun part: turning an ordinary workday into a whole new library of images for your brand.

If your kids are still living under your roof, take the photos. 🤍

You hear people say you only get 18 summers with your kids, and now that mine are grown, I understand just how quickly those years really go. Once college, work, relationships, and their own schedules enter the picture, getting everyone together at the same time gets a whole lot harder.

So don’t wait for the “perfect” year for family portraits. Document the family you have right now—the missing teeth, growth spurts, changing personalities, and even the little bit of chaos that comes with it.

Because one day, getting everyone in the same place for a family photo might be the hardest part.

🍂 Fall Family Portrait Weekend Availability:

September 20
October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If family portraits have been on your list, grab one of my remaining fall dates before they’re gone.
