Best Family Photos | The Woodlands Family Photographer

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

Best Family Photos

The best family photos are natural, fun, and totally YOU! All of the planning with the outfits and the temperaments is stressful. So plan ahead, well in advance of your family photo session. That will allow you time to decompress and enjoy the actual session. A deep breath on the way there will help to calm everyone. You can relax and let your photographer do the hard work once you arrive for your session. Your photographer will worry about smiles, and laughter, and posing. All you have to do now is just be you. Be family together and have fun. Do what you would normally do on a family outing to the park (okay maybe not everything you would normally do like roll around in the dirt). Play with each other, talk, smile, and have a good time! These are your cherished family moments that will last for generations. In twenty years, you won’t care that that one hair was out of place. You’ll look back on those beautiful faces and wish to hold them again like when they were little. Enjoy this time!

The Dafferner Family

The Dafferner family had another great session this year with Tara Flannery Photography! I absolutely love the outfits and colors. The blue blazer on son is the best! And the girls dresses are perfectly coordinated. I love it. At the end of our session, we got some great natural shots of the kids just being themselves. They were tickling each other and M decided that that was enough. She was out! Those images are true to their personalities and beautiful connections.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.

If you’re hosting a holiday party this year… there’s something you don’t want to overlook 👇🏻

Your team is already together, dressed up, and in great spirits — which makes it the perfect moment to update everyone’s headshots. No juggling schedules, no tracking people down, no pulling anyone out of meetings. Just quick, polished photos your team can pop in for, and then head right back to the party.

It’s an easy way to add value to your celebration and give your employees something they’ll actually use heading into the new year. And with my streamlined event setup (and zero admin work for you), the process is effortless from start to finish.

✨ If you’re planning a holiday party, let’s talk about adding on-site headshots.

- Do this instead 👇🏻

Most people focus on their outfit or expression — but your background plays a huge role in how others perceive you. It sets the tone for your personal brand before you even introduce yourself.

Your space tells clients what working with you feels like.

Here’s how different backdrops communicate different messages:

🏢 Corporate office → traditional, established, and formal.

🌿 Natural outdoor setting → approachable, creative, and warm.

🏙️ Urban or architectural environment → modern, edgy, and innovative.

🎨 Solid color or studio backdrop → clean, versatile, and timeless.

Even subtle shifts in tone, texture, or color can completely change the mood of your headshot — which is why the location is just as important as the lighting or pose.

And here’s the exciting part: with the help of professional AI editing, you don’t have to choose just one. We can create on-brand variations that fit different platforms — like LinkedIn, your website, or your marketing materials — while keeping your headshot cohesive and authentic.

Because when every detail works together — from your expression to your background — your headshot becomes more than a picture. It becomes your first impression.

A forced smile in your headshot could be costing you clients.

Here’s why ⬇️

We all want to look friendly and confident in our photos — but the truth is, people can instantly tell the difference between a genuine expression and one that feels forced.

And those tiny differences can change how trustworthy, approachable, and confident you appear online.

When your headshot feels authentic, it builds an instant sense of connection — the kind that makes someone want to work with you, hire you, or trust you with their business.

That’s why during every session, I focus on helping you relax and bring out a real expression — not a stiff “say cheese” moment. Through subtle posing direction, natural conversation, and a comfortable environment, we’ll capture the version of you that clients actually connect with.

Because your headshot isn’t just about looking polished — it’s about inspiring confidence before you even say a word.

Here’s how to fix that 👇🏻

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable in front of the camera — especially when someone else is taking your picture — you’re not alone. It’s completely normal.

Taking professional photos can feel surprisingly vulnerable. You’re being seen, literally, and that can stir up a lot of nerves.

But here’s the thing: feeling awkward shouldn’t stop you from getting photos you love. My job as your photographer is to help ease that discomfort so you can show up as your best, most authentic self.

Here’s how I help clients do just that:

1️⃣ The Consultation

Before your session, we’ll chat about your goals, style, and how you want to be seen. I also connect clients with trusted stylists who can help you choose outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable (if needed).

2️⃣ A Calm, Supportive Environment

Whether we’re in my studio, your office, or an outdoor location, my priority is to create a space where you can relax, laugh, and genuinely enjoy the process. When you’re at ease, it always shows in your photos.

3️⃣ A Little Preparation Goes a Long Way

Get plenty of rest, hydrate, and plan your wardrobe ahead of time. When you feel prepared, you walk into your session with a completely different kind of confidence.

Because the truth is — professional photos can feel vulnerable, but with the right guidance, they can also be empowering. 💛
