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.

This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ What do you want your brand to feel like?
✅ How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first so your photos actually work for you.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, then let’s plan your session.

It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that actually support where you’re going, you can book through the link in my bio.

You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.

Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I`m curious, what cards have been working for you?
