Headshot vs. Branding Sessions | Houston Headshot Photographer

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP)  and Craftsman based in Houston, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography can help with how to choose headshot vs. branding sessions.  See more branding images in the gallery.  Contact me to book your branding session today!

Headshot vs. Branding Sessions

Branding sessions are the newest thing on the professional headshot scene!  It’s a very popular session right now!  There are a few key differences between a headshot and branding session at Tara Flannery Photography.  First, a headshot session is typically a shorter session resulting in fewer images.  It’s perfect if you just need that business headshot for the website.  And it is also the right option if we are photographing your entire team or company.  However, if you own a small business or operate a business that needs significant imagery for marketing (like realtors, for example), a branding session is the most efficient way to accomplish your goals!

Recent Branding and Headshot Examples

Take a look at your marketing platforms (website, print media, social media, etc.) and determine your needs for imagery.  Think about how new images could elevate your brand and really show potential clients how it FEELS to work with your company and use your product or service.  A picture is worth a thousand words (or more) and solidifies your position in their minds.

For my session with Lake Conroe Realty, Allison and I made a plan for both studio headshots and some fun outdoor group and action shots at the lake!  I brought equipment to their office for the studio shots and then we went to the lake for some fantastic outdoor photos.  I absolutely love how they turned out and she’s super excited about updating the website and marketing materials!

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.
