Why Hire an Event Photographer | Houston Event Photographer

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) 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 event today!

Why Hire an Event Photographer?

All events require planning and attention to many, many details. Depending on the type and size of the event, those details can quickly overwhelm the event planner. Hiring an event photographer is a great idea! Here are a few reasons why:

The event photographer will capture all of those details that you’ve meticulously planned! She will also capture the decisive moments that make the event special.
If you hire an event photographer, you can take care of the other details for the event or actually just enjoy the event yourself!
After the event is over, you’ll have an entire gallery of images from the smallest detail to the biggest moments of the event. You and your guests can relive those moments and enjoy them again and again.

Grand Opening for Spring Cypress Assisted Living

Calvin contacted me about photographing the grand opening for Spring Cypress Assisted Living. First, I arrived to find that there were a number of people already flooding in the doors. The valets were already running around! People mingled inside as they munched on appetizers and socialized. The chef was busy preparing dinner but a full bar and snacks were already prepared. Then, Calvin introduced himself and the key management team. Next, they honored the family who sold the land to be used for the facility. A ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce followed. After dinner, families were able to tour the facility and model rooms that were beautifully decorated. It was a beautifully successful grand opening and an event that will be remembered by families who were able to visit that night.

Let’s talk color ⬇️

If your brand photos are going on your website, what you wear matters more than you might think.

We want your outfit to complement your brand—not compete with it. That’s why I always ask:

Is your site mostly white with a bold pop of color? Let’s find an outfit that matches or plays off that palette beautifully.

☑️ Solid colors > busy patterns
☑️ Neutrals + strategic color choices keep the focus on you
☑️ Brand alignment = polished, professional, intentional

Planning a branding session?

Let’s make sure your photos and website tell a cohesive story—from color to composition.

“What should I wear for my headshot?” — it’s one of the most common questions I get before a session.

Here’s my take: Start with your industry standard. What would you wear to meet a client or walk into a networking event? Then, think about how you want to show up—polished, approachable, confident?

Some clients show up in yoga pants (hey, no judgment!), but your headshot should reflect how you want to be seen professionally. A little extra effort goes a long way in making the right first impression. ✨

Bringing the headshot studio to your next event? Yes, please.

Swipe through to see a few photos from some recent on-site headshot sessions—including a fun one with a group of travel agents at Hugo’s in Houston. 🌟

They came for networking and left with polished, professional headshots they could use right away. It was relaxed, efficient, and totally stress-free—exactly how team photos should feel.

Here’s why on-site headshots make a difference:

✔️ They`re super convenient—no extra appointments

✔️ Everyone gets a cohesive, polished look

✔️ It’s a thoughtful perk for your team or guests

✔️ We keep it casual, fun, and low-pressure

✔️ Plus, I often include event candids you can use for marketing or social

📸 Whether it’s a lunch-and-learn, happy hour, or team retreat, I’ll tailor everything to fit your space and your people.

One outfit isn’t enough. Here’s why…

In branding sessions, we plan intentionally—from your wardrobe to your messaging—so your photos work everywhere your brand shows up.

I always recommend bringing multiple outfits: start with your most formal look and end with something more relaxed. This gives you a versatile set of images—perfect for everything from LinkedIn to your About page to your social media.

✨ Pro tip: Think layers, textures, and pieces that feel like you.
