How to choose a family session | The Woodlands Family Photographer

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) and Craftsman based in Houston, TX. Tara Flannery Photography specializes in family portraits and can help with how to choose a family session. See more family photos in the gallery. Contact me to book your family portrait today!

How to choose a family session

At Tara Flannery Photography, we offer regular family sessions all year long. These sessions are about an hour long and provide plenty of time for kids who need to warm up to a photographer. They are also perfect for extended family sessions. First, we capture the entire extended family. Then, we photograph individual families and other breakouts with grandparents. In the end, these longer sessions can include different backgrounds and lots of variety as we meander around a park or other setting to explore.

Another option is the Limited Edition Session, offered only in October. These are 20-minute sessions for the family. They are great for older kids who can take direction. The Limited Edition is the perfect option for the annual family portrait update. We can get a lot of photos in 20 minutes!

So, first, plan on a family portrait. Next, call me to discuss options for your next family portrait session and I can help you decide what’s best for your family. Then, we will schedule your session and prepare to have fun! Finally, enjoy your new family portraits and admire them as you walk by them every day in your home!

A Session with the McClintock Family

What an adorable family! The McClintock family is going to be featured in their neighborhood magazine and they needed an updated family photo. Their last photo was taken when Bryce was only a year old! He did so well during our session that we had time to play in the dirt afterwards.

Let me walk you through a corporate event headshot session 👇🏻

I set up a professional headshot station right at your event—guests funnel in and out in minutes, and here`s the magic:

✨ Quick, guided posing (I`ll tell you exactly what to do—no awkward guessing)
✨ Instant proof gallery so you can choose your favorite on the spot
✨ Polished, professional edits delivered fast
✨ Cohesive headshots for the whole team (perfect for company websites, LinkedIn, you name it)

The best part? You don`t have to schedule separate sessions, travel anywhere, or stress about what to wear. You show up, I guide you through it, and you leave with a headshot that actually represents you well.

No stiff corporate vibes. No feeling lost in front of the camera. Just efficient, professional, and dare I say... kinda fun? 😄

Corporate event headshots = convenience + quality + personality. If your company is planning an event and wants to give your team this experience, let`s talk.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Your headshot has an expiration date. ⏰

If your current headshot is more than three years old, it`s time for a refresh.

When someone looks you up before a meeting or collaboration, they`re forming their first impression. If your headshot doesn`t match who shows up on the Zoom call, it creates an immediate disconnect.

Your headshot should reflect who you are RIGHT NOW. Your current energy. Your current confidence. Your current professional presence.

✨ THE 3-YEAR RULE:
Update your headshot every 2-3 years, or sooner if you`ve had a significant change in appearance, role, or brand positioning.

💡 PRO TIP:
If you`re hesitant because you don`t love being photographed, that`s exactly why the right photographer matters. Your session should feel empowering, not vulnerable.

You are worthy of being seen exactly as you are right now. Let`s create headshots that feel authentic and work hard for your business.

Here`s the truth—these three mistakes are quietly killing your credibility:

1️⃣ Inconsistent visuals across platforms

LinkedIn headshot ≠ Instagram profile ≠ Website photo

This creates confusion and distrust. Your audience needs to recognize YOU instantly, everywhere.

2️⃣ Outdated or low-quality photos

That 2019 selfie or grainy event photo? Not helping.

Professional imagery signals you take your business seriously—so clients can trust you with theirs.

3️⃣ Hiding behind logos or stock photos

People connect with PEOPLE, not faceless brands.

If they can`t see the human behind the business, they`re scrolling past.

✨ The good news? All of this is fixable.

Investing in professional branding photography isn`t just about pretty pictures—it`s about building trust and credibility that converts.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Your team needs updated headshots, but coordinating individual sessions? That`s a scheduling nightmare.

What if I told you there`s a better way? ✨

I recently set up a headshot station at a corporate event, and it was a game-changer. Employees funneled in and out throughout the event, and everyone left with polished, professional headshots—no stress, no complicated scheduling, just done.

Here`s why companies are loving this:

📸 Consistent branding – Everyone gets the same professional quality and cohesive look across your website and marketing materials

⏱️ Time efficient – No coordinating 50+ individual appointments. Your team gets it done in one event.

💼 Boosts credibility – Professional headshots elevate your entire team`s presence online and in client-facing materials

🎉 Low-pressure environment – The event atmosphere keeps it relaxed and fun, not awkward and formal

And here`s the best part ⬇️

With my new software, each person gets their own private proof gallery to choose their favorite shot. No waiting, no back-and-forth—they`re in control.

Your employees get professional images they actually feel confident using. Your company gets cohesive, credible branding. Win-win.
