How to choose a headshot session | 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 to choose a headshot session.  See more headshots in the gallery.  Contact me to book your professional headshot today!

How to choose a headshot session

At Tara Flannery Photography, we offer two individual headshot sessions.  Either session can be done in the studio or on-location (fee applies).  Additional headshots can always be added to your session option.

  • Express Session: this session is a great option if you need only one final image.  It’s a quick, 15-minute session with one look.  This means that we have time for one background and one wardrobe option.  It’s perfect for those needing a fast turnaround as well.  We will select your best headshot image together during the session so that I can edit it and get it to you within a day or two.
  • Executive Session: this session offers more time and services.  It includes hair and makeup services and two final retouched images.  This option allows us more time for different looks.  We can change backgrounds, which dramatically changes the look and feel of the headshot (from light to dark, etc.).  We can change wardrobe to offer a different style (casual versus formal).  Another option is changing hairstyle or adding glasses, etc.  You will have a number of proofs to review and select the best ones for your headshots.

Either headshot session option is a great way to show the business world your confidence, professionalism, and competence.  A professional headshot instills trust and makes customers feel like they know you before they ever meet you! That’s a great step toward building your business.  Let’s schedule one of these sessions today!

Sample Headshots

Here are a few recent headshot sessions.  As you can see, backgrounds and wardrobe can be tailored to suit your needs for the brand, company, and industry.

If your kids are still living under your roof, take the photos. 🤍

You hear people say you only get 18 summers with your kids, and now that mine are grown, I understand just how quickly those years really go. Once college, work, relationships, and their own schedules enter the picture, getting everyone together at the same time gets a whole lot harder.

So don’t wait for the “perfect” year for family portraits. Document the family you have right now—the missing teeth, growth spurts, changing personalities, and even the little bit of chaos that comes with it.

Because one day, getting everyone in the same place for a family photo might be the hardest part.

🍂 Fall Family Portrait Weekend Availability:

September 20
October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If family portraits have been on your list, grab one of my remaining fall dates before they’re gone.

📸 Book your session through the link in my bio.

🎓 Planning senior photos? Start with my Senior Session Guide!

I put it together to help you plan your session—from what to wear and what to bring to all the little details that make your photos feel like you. Grab it through the link in my bio!

And one thing I always encourage seniors to think about? Don’t document just one moment of senior year.

So much changes between the beginning of the school year and graduation.

Fall is about who you are right now—your personality, interests, style, sports, hobbies, and everything that made these last four years yours.

By spring, the focus starts shifting toward what’s next—college decisions, future plans, and all the excitement that comes with finishing senior year.

And then comes the cap and gown. 🎓 The final milestone before one chapter officially closes and another begins.

Senior year goes FAST. Take the photos. 🤍

Great headshot lighting doesn’t need to be complicated—it needs to be intentional. 📸

Where you place your light, how you position your reflector, and understanding what each one is actually doing can be the difference between a headshot that feels fine and one that looks clean, crisp, and polished.

And once you find setups that work? You don’t need to reinvent the wheel at every session.

That consistency is especially important when you’re photographing corporate teams and need every headshot to look cohesive—even when people are photographed at different times.

If you’re a photographer working on your headshot lighting, I put together a FREE guide with 3 Lighting Setups for Flawless Headshots that you can reference when planning your next session.

💡 Grab the guide through the link in my bio and save this reel for the next time you’re setting up your lights!
