Your Expert Team | Book Signing Event Photography

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) and event photographer based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography specializes in portraits, headshots, and event photography.  See more event photography in the gallery.  Contact me to book your next event!

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!

 

Your Expert Team, Book Signing Event

When you finally put the finishing touches on a book you’ve been writing, it’s certainly time to celebrate!  Paul Carroll, Jay Knighton, and Bernard Abercrombie have written a book entitled, “Your Expert Team: A Team-Based Approach to Advanced Financial Planning”.  “Your Expert Team” is a valuable guide for affluent individuals, families, and business owners in need of advanced financial planning. By utilizing a combination of different perspectives and expertise, “Your Expert Team” shows how a team-based approach to advanced financial planning can increase your overall financial health.  During this book signing event, the three authors were able to mingle with guests, sign books, and celebrate their accomplishment.

Money may not buy happiness, but having photos of your family to look back on years from now? That’s pretty priceless. 🤍

Fall family portrait season is here, and I have a few weekend dates still available (spots are filling fast!) 👇🏻

October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If you’ve been meaning to update the family photos, document this season, or get those holiday card photos checked off your list, this is your sign to get on the calendar.

And once you book, I’ll make sure you’re not left wondering what to wear, where we’re going, what to bring, or what to expect. My Family Session Welcome Guide walks you through everything you need to know to feel prepared for your session. (linked in my bio)

I’m gonna let you in on my secret… 👀

These are the camera settings I use as my starting point when I’m shooting during golden hour:

☀️ APERTURE
For one person: f/2.8–f/3.2
For families or groups: f/5.6

A wider aperture gives you that beautiful separation and soft background when you’re photographing one person. With a group, I stop down to help keep everyone in focus.

☀️ SHUTTER SPEED
I start around 1/160 sec—but if I have kids running, a couple moving around, or anything else with more movement, I’ll increase my shutter speed to keep everything sharp.

☀️ ISO
ISO 400 is my starting point, and then I adjust up or down depending on how much light I have.

The biggest thing to remember? These aren’t magic numbers you have to use every time.

Golden hour changes quickly, and your settings should change with it. Use these as a starting point, watch your light, and adjust for the people and movement in front of your camera.

And if you’re building your photography kit and wondering what gear is actually worth investing in, I put together my Photographer’s Gear Guide with the cameras, lenses, lighting, and equipment I use in my own business.

Class of 2027, the clock is ticking! 🎓📸

Yearbook deadlines are getting closer, which means there’s not much time left to get those fall senior portraits on the calendar.

Senior photos are about so much more than checking a yearbook photo off the list. This is your chance to capture their personality, style, interests, and who they are during one of the biggest years of their life.

If senior portraits are still sitting on your fall to-do list, this is your sign to get them booked!

🎓 Now booking fall senior sessions. Head to the link in my bio to get started.

Come spend a headshot + branding day with me! 📸

One of my favorite things about on-location sessions is getting to step into a client’s space and create images that actually feel connected to their business.

We can capture updated headshots, team photos, working shots, office details, and plenty of branding content—all without your team having to leave the office.

A lot goes into a shoot day, but this is the fun part: turning an ordinary workday into a whole new library of images for your brand.

If your kids are still living under your roof, take the photos. 🤍

You hear people say you only get 18 summers with your kids, and now that mine are grown, I understand just how quickly those years really go. Once college, work, relationships, and their own schedules enter the picture, getting everyone together at the same time gets a whole lot harder.

So don’t wait for the “perfect” year for family portraits. Document the family you have right now—the missing teeth, growth spurts, changing personalities, and even the little bit of chaos that comes with it.

Because one day, getting everyone in the same place for a family photo might be the hardest part.

🍂 Fall Family Portrait Weekend Availability:

September 20
October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If family portraits have been on your list, grab one of my remaining fall dates before they’re gone.
