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.

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.
