Giving Back

 

Giving Back

Part of being community together means helping each other and giving back.  Tara has partnered with several local and national organizations to give back to her community.

Northwest Assistance Ministries

The Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) of Northwest Assistance Ministries in Spring, TX provides housing, education, and support for families with children who do not have a place to live.  Tara Flannery Photography provides custom family portraits for these families who would otherwise not be able to afford custom photography.  I am honored to get to know these families and be a part of their lives and the memory of the most important thing: love of family.  One of the families in the IHN program has a fantastic success story and I’m so glad that I kept in touch with Mom.  She wrote a book about her story and wants to help other women in the community in the same situation.  I’m honored to promote her story of struggle, growth, and ultimate success!

Breast Cancer Charities of America

The Breast Cancer Charities of America provides support for breast cancer patients in a variety of ways.  My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer while I was in college.  I remember that day like it was yesterday.  The check-up took too long and my parents didn’t return from this doctor visit for hours.  They were trying to process the news before coming home to tell me.  Through treatment and recovery, my mom was strong and the treatment was successful.  By photographing the various events of The Breast Cancer Charities of America, I hope to help this organizing support women and their families facing this same diagnosis.

Tara Flannery Photography specializes in family portraits, senior portraits, headshots, and events.  Tara is a member of the Professional Photographer’s Guild of Houston, Texas Professional Photographer’s Association, Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP).  We serve the greater Houston area and are based in The Woodlands and Conroe.  Contact me for more information or to schedule a session!

When was the last time you looked through your childhood photo albums?

Those photos your parents took? They're more than memories — they're legacy family photos that shaped who you are today.

Now imagine your kids 30 years from now, flipping through the photos you create today. What story will they tell?

Family portraits capture more than smiles. They preserve:
✨ The love that filled your home
📸 Moments of connection and joy 
💛 Your family's unique story

These aren't just photos for today — they're legacy images your kids will always look back on. Photos they'll treasure. Photos they'll show their own children someday.

📆 Current Family Session Availability:
• October 12
• October 18 
• October 19

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.

✨ Seniors — it’s YOUR year! ✨

Your senior portraits should feel like you — not just another cookie-cutter session. That means:

🕶️ Bring your sunglasses
👟 Rock your favorite sneakers
🎸 Grab your instrument, your dog, or even your best friend

Let’s add personality, attitude, and fun so your session is unforgettable. Because these aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. 💛

Ready to make your Class of 2026 senior portraits one-of-a-kind?
