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!

What it looks like behind the camera… vs. what you get 👇🏻

Different sessions, different people, different goals—
but always the same focus: helping you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Headshots, branding, families, seniors, and more… it all comes back to capturing people in a way that actually feels like them.

You don’t need the most expensive gear to be a good photographer.

When I first started, I thought I needed everything—top-tier camera, expensive lighting, all of it.

The reality?

A solid camera and a good lens will take you a long way.

If you’re just starting out, keep it simple:
✨ A versatile zoom lens (24–70mm or 70–200mm)
✨ Gear you can rely on and learn inside and out

And when it comes to lighting—especially outdoors—don’t overinvest too early.

Wind happens. Gear gets knocked over. Things break.

Light is light.

Focus on learning how to use what you have before worrying about upgrading everything.

📥 I’ve put together resources for new photographers covering gear, lighting, posing, and more—click the link in my bio!
Most men think they don’t know how to pose for a headshot…

but it’s not about knowing poses.

It’s about a few simple adjustments that make you look confident and natural on camera.

A couple go-to options (like the classic “GQ” stance, arms crossed, or a relaxed lean) can completely change how you show up.

And the rest? That’s what I guide you through.

📥 If you’re also not sure what to wear, I’ve got you covered—grab my Men’s Style Guide for Headshots through the link in my bio.

📩 Ready for updated headshots? You can book through the link as well.
If you’re just getting started in photography… don’t worry about finding your niche right away.

When I first started, I photographed everything—weddings, babies, families, headshots, corporate… if someone needed photos, I was there.

And that’s how you figure it out.

You don’t find your niche by waiting—you find it by doing the work, learning what you like, and getting better with every session.

Every type of shoot teaches you something different.
Every client builds your experience.

Over time, you start to see what actually fits you—and that’s where your expertise comes from.

📥 If you’re in that phase right now, I’ve put together resources to help—covering lighting, gear, posing, and more.

✨ Grab them through the link in my bio!
Senior portraits are just one piece of what I do 👇🏻

I also work with:
✅ professionals who need updated headshots
✅ business owners building their brand
✅ families capturing this season of life
✅ and actors/models creating strong portfolio images

Different sessions—but the same goal:
helping people show up confidently and authentically on camera

📩 If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, let’s figure it out together—link in bio to learn more.
