How to choose a family session

At Tara Flannery Photography, we offer regular family sessions all year long.  These sessions are about an hour long and provide plenty of time for kids who need to warm up to a photographer.  They are also perfect for extended family sessions.  First, we capture the entire extended family.  Then, we photograph individual families and other breakouts with grandparents.   In the end, these longer sessions can include different backgrounds and lots of variety as we meander around a park or other setting to explore.

Another option is the Limited Edition Session, offered only in October.  These are 20-minute sessions for the family.  They are great for older kids who can take direction.  The Limited Edition is the perfect option for the annual family portrait update.  We can get a lot of photos in 20 minutes!

So, first, plan on a family portrait.  Next, call me to discuss options for your next family portrait session and I can help you decide what’s best for your family.  Then, we will schedule your session and prepare to have fun!  Finally, enjoy your new family portraits and admire them as you walk by them every day in your home!

A Session with the McClintock Family

What an adorable family!  The McClintock family is going to be featured in their neighborhood magazine and they needed an updated family photo.  Their last photo was taken when Bryce was only a year old!  He did so well during our session that we had time to play in the dirt afterwards.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨

It’s almost senior portrait season again… and somehow, it always arrives faster than we expect. ✨

Senior portraits are a way to pause time just for a moment and celebrate who they are right now, before everything changes.

If you’re starting to think about senior portraits, now is the perfect time to begin planning.

📩 DM me to learn more about senior sessions and availability.

One of the biggest reasons people put off booking a branding session?

They have no idea what to expect.

And when you don't know the process, it's easy to talk yourself out of investing.

So here's the truth👇🏻

I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm walking you through every step so you feel confident, prepared, and like you're working with a partner who actually gets your business.

No guessing. No awkward posing. No "figure it out yourself" energy.

If you've been waiting for the right time to update your brand imagery, let's talk. Link in bio to book your free consultation. 📸

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next. 

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

The best part of this job?👇🏼

 Seeing clients recognize themselves in their photos — confident, professional, and proud — never gets old. 

Your kind words, trust, and support mean more than you know, and they’re the reason I love what I do every single day.

Every session is about more than just photos. It’s about helping you feel seen, confident, and represented in a way that truly feels like you.

Thank you to every client who’s trusted me with their story — and shared such thoughtful reviews along the way.

✨ Ready to create images you’ll love just as much?
