Why Hire an Event Photographer? | NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Gala 2017

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) and Woodlands event photographer based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography specializes in event photography.  See more event photography in the gallery.  Contact me to book your family portrait today!

Why Hire a Woodlands Event Photographer?

As a Houston Event Photographer, I love to be with people and capture the special moments of an event!  My favorite thing is to see the beauty in a tiny detail during an event.  You might see me running to get my macro lens and then carrying a couple of cameras around to get that one special moment.  And then a smile, a laugh shared between friends.  Perfection!  And I’ll chat with folks and joke along the way too!

First birthday parties, galas, corporate events, and anniversary parties are just a few of the events that we cover at Tara Flannery Photography.  We also photograph baptisms, first Communions, and other religious celebrations.  Your event is so special and you’ve worked really hard on planning all of the details.  Let us capture those details, smiles, and laughter so you can enjoy the celebration!

Event photography is a lot of fun for me and I hope that you’ll invite me to your next gathering.  Call me to book your baptism, birthday party, quinceañera, milestone celebration, corporate event, or other special event.  Everyone who attends the event can see the images afterwards and remember that special day too!

NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Gala 2017

Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) is a huge and very well managed organization providing assistance to those in need.  The motto “neighbors helping neighbors” only begins to describe the many programs and services available to those in need.  NAM provides career services, meals on wheels, a clinic for children, family violence center, food pantry, and much more.  These services are invaluable to the community.  The Jeans and Jewels annual gala is NAM’s major fundraiser.  Nearly 100% of the funds raised at the gala will go directly toward programs.  The annual budget is covered earlier in the year and therefore the funds from the gala go straight to the people in need.  Not only is the gala hugely successful but it’s also a lot of fun!  I had fun just watching everyone else enjoy the evening.  Next year, mark your calendar for NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Gala at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott.

What should you wear for your headshot session?
It depends on how you want to show up.

Your outfit sets the tone — and the right level of polish helps you appear confident, credible, and uniquely you.

Here are 4 levels of formality to help you choose the best look for your headshots 👇🏻

1️⃣ The Modern Suit Jacket
Crisp, structured, and powerful. Perfect for executives, attorneys, and leadership roles.

2️⃣ Soft Professional (No Jacket)
A sleek blouse or polished top with clean lines. Professional without being stiff — great for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

3️⃣ Elevated Casual (Sweaters & Knits)
A fitted knit or stylish sweater gives an approachable, warm, and modern vibe. Ideal for creatives, educators, or small business owners.

4️⃣ Casual Short Sleeve
Simple, solid, and flattering. Feels relaxed but still polished — great for wellness pros, lifestyle brands, or startup teams.

✨ Quick Styling Tips:
– Stick to solid colors that flatter your skin tone
– Skip busy prints & distracting accessories
– Choose wrinkle-free, well-fitting pieces
– Bring a backup outfit or layering option!

🎯 Not sure what’s best for your brand?

We go over wardrobe during your pre-session consultation — so you’ll feel 100% confident in what you wear and how you show up.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

✨ Ready to make the switch?

Contact me for a free consultation and let’s get you a headshot that works.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

✨ Ready to level up your real estate brand? Contact me and let’s create images that actually work for your business.
