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.

If you’re a speaker, your images speak before you do. 🎤

Event planners are checking your website, your LinkedIn, your media kit — all before they ever reach out. And the first question they’re asking is:

“Can I imagine this person on our stage?”

That’s why speaker-focused imagery matters.

In my headshot + branding sessions, I don’t just have to take portraits —
I can recreate the experience of you presenting.

Spotlight, stage-inspired lighting, gestures, expressions, confidence… even if we’re shooting in my studio, we can make it look like you’re mid-keynote.

Because if speaking is part of your business, your visuals should reflect that — long before you step on stage.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨
