Sweet baby baptism | 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!

Baptism

The ritual of baptism celebrates newness and oneness with God. Family and friends gather to honor this relationship and to support the growth of this relationship. In the Catholic faith, Godparents have a responsibility to the child being baptized. They will instruct the child in the faith as needed throughout life. I am truly honored to document this event so that years from now a record of this special day exists and can be remembered.

Aliza’s Baptism

Friends and family gathered for Aliza’s baptism at Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Spring, TX. Godparents, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and cousins dressed in their best to honor this precious baby and her walk with God. They will love her and support her along the journey. Each doing their part by showing her kindness, gratitude, and love. After the baptism, family and friends were treated to a beautiful reception at home. There was a delicious spread to share, a mariachi band, and cake! Everyone had a great time enjoying the food and festivities. All my best Aliza on your journey of faith and in life.

Not sure how formal your headshot should be? Start here. 👇

Your outfit plays a huge role in the story your headshot tells — and choosing the right look helps you show up with clarity and confidence.

Here are 5 levels of formality for men’s headshots and when to use each one:

1️⃣ Very Formal
Suit jacket + button-down shirt + tie
This look builds instant trust and authority.

2️⃣ Semi-formal (No Tie)
Suit jacket + button-down (no tie)
Polished, approachable, and confident.

3️⃣ Business Casual
Button-down shirt, no jacket
Comfortable and true to your everyday brand.

4️⃣ Branded Apparel
Button-down or polo with company logo
Keeps things clean, professional, and consistent — especially for team headshots.

5️⃣ Casual
Fitted t-shirt or polo (no branding)
Still professional — just more relaxed and innovative.

✨ BONUS TIPS:
– Stick to solid colors
– Make sure clothes are clean, pressed & well-fitted
– Avoid loud patterns or busy logos (unless branded)
– Bring a backup shirt or jacket to your session

🎯 The goal? Choose the level that fits your industry, role, and personality — and Tara will help you photograph it perfectly.

Let`s talk about it 👇🏻

Whether it’s your LinkedIn profile, website bio, or social media presence—your photo is often the first impression people get of you.

And if it’s outdated, poorly lit, overly casual, or just not aligned with who you are now… it’s doing more harm than good.

Here’s what a great headshot can do:
✅ Build instant trust with clients
✅ Attract job offers, press, or speaking gigs
✅ Help you show up confidently in a crowded market
✅ Make your personal brand feel polished and professional

It’s more than just a photo—it’s your reputation in pixels.

📸 I create relaxed, guided headshot sessions that reflect your style, your energy, and your goals. Let’s make sure your image is working for you, not against you.

Your future self will thank you. 👏

Selfies are fun—but they’re not your brand. 😅

With National Selfie Day around the corner (June 21 👀), let’s talk about the photo that really works for you: your headshot.

A great headshot isn’t just for CEOs anymore. It’s for small business owners, career changers, creatives, and anyone showing up professionally online.

✨ Whether you`re on LinkedIn, launching a biz, or just tired of that old crop from five years ago—I’ve got you.

And just in time for Father’s Day…

Goldfish have longer attention spans than most people online. If your visuals don’t speak fast, they’re not being seen.

And more often than not, it’s your photos doing the talking before you ever say a word.

High-quality, professional visuals do more than “look good.” They ⤵️

✅ Build Trust Instantly

People want to feel like they know you before they work with you. Clear, polished images of you (not stock photography) help potential clients connect with the face behind the business.

✅ Showcase Professionalism

From your website to your Instagram grid, cohesive brand photography tells the world you’re serious, credible, and ready for business.

✅ Create Brand Clarity

What do you want people to feel when they land on your page? Confident? Warm? Innovative? Your visuals should reflect that vibe—because clarity creates confidence.

✅ Set You Apart

In a saturated market, people are buying you as much as your product or service. Brand photography gives you a chance to stand out with personality, story, and style.

If you’re still using a mix of selfies, old photos, or generic images, you might be confusing your audience—or worse, losing them.

Let’s fix that. Let’s create visuals that stop the scroll and start the connection.
