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 you show up like a pro, doors start opening.
We wrapped this session with a simple truth: “Kyle’s going to go off and do great things.”
And he will—because he’s putting his best foot forward, starting with how he presents himself. A high-quality headshot might seem like a small thing, but it can make a powerful first impression that opens doors to new jobs, clients, or collaborations.
When you look the part, you feel the part—and the world responds accordingly.

Ever wondered why your headshots look flat instead of flattering? 👀
It all comes down to lighting. In the studio, I use one main light source and strategically placed reflectors to bounce light and fill in shadows. This creates that soft, even glow that makes you look approachable and polished—while still keeping a touch of shadow to add shape and dimension to your face.
Flat lighting can make your features disappear. The right lighting makes you stand out. ✨

Here’s why 👇🏻
Most people wait for the “perfect” moment—when they’ve lost a few pounds, changed their hair, or finally feel more confident. But here’s the truth: there will always be something you’re waiting on.
Your headshot isn’t about some future version of you—it’s about showing up confidently in the season you’re in today. Because this version of you? The one leading your team, meeting clients, building your business—that’s the version people want to connect with.
When your photo feels authentic and current, it builds instant trust. Outdated or staged images can actually do the opposite, making it harder for people to recognize the real you.
So don’t wait for “someday.” The right time to show up as your best self is always now.

🚫 Let’s talk wardrobe no-nos for headshots.
I want you to look polished, confident, and distraction-free in your photos—and sometimes that means skipping certain outfit choices.
For men:
❌ No undershirts peeking through
❌ If you’re wearing a tie, make sure your shirt buttons all the way up
❌ If it doesn’t, we’re ditching the tie
For women:
❌ Skip the sleeveless tops—your arms will compete with your face for attention
✅ A sleeve (even short) helps keep the focus where it belongs—on YOU
The goal? A clean, intentional look that draws people in and keeps their attention right where it should be—your face.
📸 Save this before your session so you can show up ready and confident.

Let`s talk... ⬇️
If your headshot isn’t working on your website, LinkedIn, or social media...
👉🏻 it’s probably not the image.
👉🏻 it’s the crop.
Yep, even the most beautiful photo can fall flat if it’s not framed for the platform it’s on.
Here are 3 common cropping mistakes I see all the time (and how to fix them):
1️⃣ Too Close – When there’s no breathing room, the image feels cramped and overly intense.
2️⃣ Too Far – If we can’t clearly see your face, we lose the connection instantly.
3️⃣ Wrong Shape for the Platform – That rectangle you uploaded to LinkedIn? It just became a circle... and cut off half your head.
✨ The fix? Intentional cropping before you upload—so your headshot looks polished, professional, and approachable everywhere.
Want a headshot that works across all platforms? Let’s create one that does just that.
