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!

When was the last time you looked at a photo of yourself and focused on what you liked instead of what you wanted to change?
As a photographer, I see it all the time. Someone steps in front of my camera and immediately starts pointing out the things they’re self-conscious about.
But here’s the thing… those are rarely the things everyone else sees. 🤍
We see the wrinkles, the extra weight, or the little imperfections. Others see our warmth, personality, confidence, and everything that makes us who we are.
And sometimes, that same critical voice follows us long after we’ve stepped away from the camera.
That’s why I’m so excited to feature Jennifer Barrett of Be Fit & Well Coaching as a guest on my blog!
Jennifer shares a beautiful perspective on self-image, the way we speak to ourselves, and one simple question that can help shift our mindset:
Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” try asking, “What do I need?”
Because you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of kindness, confidence, or a photograph you love.

Headshots and branding photos… aren`t they basically the same thing? 📸
Not quite! While both are meant to represent you professionally, they serve different purposes.
Professional headshots are typically more traditional and polished. Think head-and-shoulders portraits with a clean studio backdrop or a professional office setting. They`re perfect for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, business cards, and anywhere you need a professional first impression.
Branding photography, on the other hand, tells a bigger story!
We`re talking full-body portraits, candid moments, interactive shots, and photos of you doing what you do best. Branding sessions can absolutely include headshots, too, but often with more personality and environmental elements that reflect your business.
The biggest difference? A headshot shows people who you are. Branding photography helps show them what you do and what it`s like to work with you.
And depending on your business and goals, you might benefit from both!

Just a little reminder that if your professional headshot has been sitting on your to-do list for the last six months (or six years 😅), I`m here when you`re ready!
Whether you`re updating your LinkedIn, stepping into a new role, refreshing your website, or just realizing that your current headshot doesn`t quite look like you anymore, having a professional photo you`re confident sharing makes a difference.
And if the thought of getting in front of the camera makes you a little nervous, don`t worry. You don`t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to find your best angle.
That`s what I`m here for! I`ll guide you through the whole process so you walk away with photos that feel natural, professional, and most importantly, like you.

One of the sweetest parts of being a photographer? Getting to watch families grow right in front of my camera. 🤍
I’ve had the privilege of photographing this beautiful family several times over the years, and now their family has grown to include three sweet kiddos!
It’s so special to look back at previous sessions and see just how much has changed. New little faces, growing personalities, and so many memories made along the way.
And honestly, this is one of my favorite things about what I do.
I have families who come back year after year for updated portraits. I’ve photographed kids as they grow up, celebrated their senior year with them, and even welcomed some of those same familiar faces back for professional headshots as they begin their careers.
Getting to be a small part of all those different chapters in someone’s life is something I’ll never take for granted.
Because these aren’t just photos. They’re little pieces of your family’s story that you get to hold onto forever. 🤍
And to every family who continues to trust me with those memories, thank you. It truly means so much!
🍂 Still hoping to capture your family this fall? It’s not too late! I still have a few weekend family session openings available before the season wraps up.
Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session. I’d love to capture this chapter of your family’s story, too! 📸
Well, since I`m already here… we might as well get those family photos on the calendar! 😂📸
I know how it goes. You keep saying you need to update your family portraits, but between school, work, sports, and everything else on your calendar, another year somehow slips by.
And suddenly, the kids are a little taller, everyone`s a little older, and you`re still looking at the same family photo from three years ago.
Here`s your reminder that family photos don`t have to be complicated or perfectly planned.
I`ll help you choose a location, coordinate outfits, and guide you through the session. And yes, we`ll get those classic everyone-looking-at-the-camera photos, but we`ll also capture the laughs, the cuddles, the silly moments, and all the little things that make your family YOUR family. 🤍
🍂 Still hoping to get family photos done this fall? I have a few weekend openings left, and I`d love to get your family in front of my camera before the season wraps up!
Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session. Let`s make those family photos you`ve been talking about actually happen! 😉
Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself just how lucky I am to do what I do. 🤍
This beautiful client recently found me through Instagram, loved my work, and decided to make the drive all the way from College Station to have her professional headshots taken with me!
And honestly? That means more to me than she probably realizes.
Whether you`re a new client who found me through social media, someone who was referred by a friend, or a familiar face who`s trusted me to photograph different chapters of your life over the years... I am SO grateful for every single one of you.
I`ve had clients come to me for their senior portraits, return years later for family photos, and then come back again when it`s time for professional headshots or branding photos.
Getting to be a small part of so many different milestones in your lives is something I`ll never take for granted.
And to everyone who supports my business in ways you might not even realize... thank you.
Every like, comment, share, recommendation, and kind word helps my work reach someone new. Sometimes that person is right down the road, and sometimes they`re willing to drive all the way from College Station. 🥹
So whether you`ve been in front of my camera, shared one of my posts, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines, please know how much I appreciate you.
Thank you for continuing to choose me, trust me, and support this little business of mine. It truly means the world. 🤍
