3 Tips for Fantastic Senior Portraits

It’s your senior year of high school!  You’re almost finished with high school and looking forward to a bright future ahead.  The senior portrait session is your opportunity to express who you are and have fun!  I love to photograph high school seniors because I always have fun too.  Planning ahead for session day is key.  Here are 3 tips for fantastic senior portraits.

  1. Be Prepared (like the boy scouts): plan your outfits ahead of time down to the shoes that you’ll wear.  Bring several options from formal to casual so that you have a variety of looks in your portfolio.  You know what looks best on you so don’t be afraid to go with your own style.  Texture and layers are always good too – you can add or remove hats, accessories, etc. easily during the shoot.
  2. Be Creative: let’s do a session in a location that means something to you.  Where do you like to hang out?  What do you like to do?  Talk to your photographer about a photo shoot in a fun location.  Or bring props to your session that show a little bit about you.
  3. Be Real: we want these photographs to truly represent you.  It’s important to me that you are comfortable and free to move around and have fun with this session.  The real you will show through in these images and I love that.  Be free and be real and be you…

With Tara Flannery Photography, you will always be guided through the process from start to finish.  We start with a consultation so that I can get to know you better and you get to know me.  That way, when we meet for our session, we are already on the same page and can immediately start creating fantastic images.  When we meet to review the images together, I’ll help you through the decision process and guide you toward the best images and products for you.

Senior Session with Addison

Addison is super sweet and fun and we had a great senior portrait session!  I recently photographed her good friend at this same location.  We got some shots that were similar but many shots were totally unique and absolutely gorgeous!  First, Addison was prepared with her outfits and was able to easily change up her look with a different top.  At the end, she put on a cute dress with her boots to change up the look one last time.  The end result is a great mix of looks.  She was also prepared with hair and makeup that were very well done!  And she was real…soft smiles and serious looks gave us authentic and real photographs that she and her family will treasure for a long time.  It’s this moment in time…a moment that you will never see again.  Let’s get this moment so it lives on forever.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

✨ Ready to make the switch?

Contact me for a free consultation and let’s get you a headshot that works.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

✨ Ready to level up your real estate brand? Contact me and let’s create images that actually work for your business.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.

Ready to finally love your headshot?
Contact me to schedule a session designed to make you feel good and look good. 🤍

What is your headshot or branding saying about you?

Because whether you realize it or not… your image is already telling a story.
The question is — is it the right one?

Your photo is often your first impression: on LinkedIn, your website, your business card, even your email signature. And people will make assumptions based on what they see.

✔️ Does your headshot show confidence and approachability?
✔️ Does it reflect your personality, values, and professionalism?
✔️ Or is it outdated, unclear, or totally misaligned with where you`re headed?

Your image should tell your story before you even speak.
Make sure it’s the one you want people to hear.

Let’s capture photos that reflect the real you — with intention, authenticity, and style.
