How environment affects your headshot | Houston Headshot Photographer

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP)  and Craftsman based in Houston, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography specializes in corporate headshots and can help with how environment affects your headshot.  See more headshots in the gallery.  Contact me to book your professional headshot today!

How environment affects your headshot

The location of your headshot affects the overall look and feel of the image!  Consider these different locations before your next headshot session:

Outdoors: an outdoor headshot lends a more casual feel to the image.  It can still be professional and polished but is more relaxed and open.  Be sure to consider wardrobe when doing an outdoor session (casual attire will take the headshot in an even more casual direction while a suit jacket keeps it more formal).

Environmental: we can use the office as background for your next headshot session.  For these sessions, it is critical to find the right location in the office to provide an interesting background with light and shape.  Leave a little extra time with your photographer to investigate and test out different areas in the office that might be a good location.

Studio: the major benefit of a studio headshot is it’s repeatability.  We can provide studio headshots in our studio or in your office and the outcome will be consistent.  If you are photographing the entire company or team, these are a good choice because we can add new people as they onboard with no problems.

Headshot Examples

John’s outdoor headshots were fantastic!  A casual yet professional look that is relaxed and approachable.  The next set of headshots for HKS (an architectural firm in Houston) were set up in the office conference room.  We got a variety of poses, suited to each person but with a consistent look.  Finally, Will’s studio session accomplished exactly what he needed: a professional, formal business headshot for the company.  Each one of these locations was perfect for the needs of each company/person.

Here are my top tips for creating photos you’ll love for years to come 👇🏻

🎨 Choose a soft, coordinating color palette — think blues, burgundy, and warm earth tones that look gorgeous in outdoor settings.

👕 Stick to classic, solid pieces without big logos or bold patterns for a timeless look.

😊 And most importantly — keep everyone comfortable (especially the kids!) so we can have fun and capture genuine smiles.

Fall sessions fill up fast — let’s plan your perfect family session now so you can relax and enjoy it when the leaves start to turn. 🍁

📸 Shoot me a DM to schedule your Family Portraits this fall!

Want a flawless team photo every time? Here’s the secret ⬇️

Group Composites.

Unlike a traditional group photo — where someone inevitably blinks, looks away, or just isn’t loving their angle — a composite lets me select the best shot of each person individually.

Here’s how it works:

✔️ I photograph each person separately

✔️ Pick their most flattering image

✔️ Edit each headshot to perfection

✔️ Combine them into one cohesive, polished group portrait

The result? A picture-perfect team photo where everyone looks amazing — no retakes, no stress.

Ready to upgrade your team’s image? 📩 DM me to learn more.

Say goodbye to outdated team photos. 👋🏻

If your company is growing, shifting, or hiring often, this is the game-changing solution you’ve been waiting for:

📸 Group Composite Team Photos

Here’s how it works:

Instead of squeezing everyone into a single room at the same time (and hoping everyone looks their best), we photograph each team member individually — then merge them into one cohesive, professional team photo in post-production.

✨ New employee? We’ll add them in.
✨ Someone left? We’ll update the photo.
✨ Remote team? No problem.

No more rescheduling full photoshoots. No more outdated staff pages. Just a clean, current, always-on-brand team image.

Perfect for:
✔️ Corporate offices
✔️ Real estate teams
✔️ Medical practices
✔️ Law firms
✔️ Small businesses
✔️ Remote or hybrid teams

📍 Serving Houston + surrounding areas
📅 Contact me to start your team composite today.

Let’s talk about AI headshots. 🤖 ⬇️

Here’s the thing: while AI can mimic your likeness, it can’t replace the real you. People who know you can still tell the difference between an authentic photograph and a computer-generated image stitched together from selfies.

When it comes to building trust with your clients, patients, or audience, authenticity matters. Real portraits create real connection.

That said, I do love using AI-powered tools — not to fake who you are, but to enhance your photos. Tools that smooth, sharpen, and polish while keeping your portraits truthful, authentic, and you.

Because your clients deserve to meet the real person behind the brand.
