Family Portrait Sessions with Little Ones | Houston Family Photographer

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

Family Portrait Session with Little Ones

The family portrait session deserves planning and attention but it doesn’t need to be stressful!  It takes time to plan outfits and schedule a session with the photographer.  If you have little ones in the family, it’s also a good idea to plan the session around nap and cranky times if possible.  Please feel free to bring snacks and we can take breaks as often as needed for little ones to be comfortable.  I want the entire family to enjoy the session!

Know that a family portrait session with little ones can have unexpected ups and downs.   And that’s perfectly okay.  We will roll with those and handle any down times with distraction and play.  Sometimes those in-between moments are the precious gems that make the session.  Life is messy.  As long as we don’t expect perfection, we will document the beautiful, messy chaos that is our lives.  It is true and real and beautiful.

Photo Session with The Stone Family

The Stone family arrived at their session on a cold day in November.  Everyone was perfectly dressed down to the baby’s tights and matching shoes!  Within the first few minutes of the session, she fell and got her white tights muddy and was surprised at having fallen.  After a few tears, though, we were back up and running.  Mom and Dad might have thought that all was lost but we captured some fantastic images of the family.  We even got a few smiles through it all.  So don’t worry about the ups and downs.  We will document your family in all of it’s beautiful messiness and likely get some shots that are truly priceless.

My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?

‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don`t resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.

A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.

📩 You can book your session through the link in my bio.

Taking team photos that actually look like your team 👇🏻

Clean. Consistent. Professional.

Because when your entire team shows up cohesively across your website, LinkedIn, and marketing… it makes a difference.

It builds trust.
It feels more established.
And it reflects the level your business is operating at today.

If you’re planning a team session, there’s more to it than just picking a date and showing up.

That’s exactly why I created a Corporate Headshot Planner—to help you organize everything ahead of time so your session runs smoothly and your final images feel aligned.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio and start planning your team’s update.

This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ What do you want your brand to feel like?
✅ How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first so your photos actually work for you.
