Kingwood Professional Headshot Photographer | Paige Orthodontics

Tara Flannery is a professional headshot photographer based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX. See more headshots in the gallery. Contact me to schedule your individual headshot session or a corporate session for the entire company.

Company Photos

Hiring a professional headshot photographer is a great idea when building/revamping your website and marketing materials. First, stay current and relevant in your market by making your website and marketing materials informative, easy to read, friendly, and professional. When potential patients see your team smiling together, they get a sense of who you are and are more comfortable entering your office. Familiarity is comfortable. Always ensure that your patients know you before they walk in the door by showing them a headshot, team photos, and office photos on your website and marketing materials.

Paige Orthodontics

I have photographed Dr. Paige several times over the years. In July, he will be on the cover of LIVING magazine in the Kingwood market. We had a great time at the park taking group shots and the cover photo for the magazine. Everyone was laughing and having fun, which makes for great smiles and great photos.

Dr. Sebastian Paige is one of the smiling faces you will see welcoming you to Paige Orthodontics. A native Houstonian, Dr. Paige received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery and Master’s degree in Orthodontics from the University Of Texas School Of Dentistry in Houston. He has the added distinction of being a Board Certified Orthodontist and the Invisalign website lists his practice as one of the top 1% in the US for Invisalign. Dr. Paige puts his professional interests to work as a member of The American Association of Orthodontics, and the Southwest Society of Orthodontics. He stays on the cutting edge of his field and has numerous publications in dental journals. In his spare time, Dr. Paige is an active member of First Baptist Church and enjoys learning languages. He is currently focused on improving his Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.

I’m gonna let you in on my secret… 👀

These are the camera settings I use as my starting point when I’m shooting during golden hour:

☀️ APERTURE
For one person: f/2.8–f/3.2
For families or groups: f/5.6

A wider aperture gives you that beautiful separation and soft background when you’re photographing one person. With a group, I stop down to help keep everyone in focus.

☀️ SHUTTER SPEED
I start around 1/160 sec—but if I have kids running, a couple moving around, or anything else with more movement, I’ll increase my shutter speed to keep everything sharp.

☀️ ISO
ISO 400 is my starting point, and then I adjust up or down depending on how much light I have.

The biggest thing to remember? These aren’t magic numbers you have to use every time.

Golden hour changes quickly, and your settings should change with it. Use these as a starting point, watch your light, and adjust for the people and movement in front of your camera.

And if you’re building your photography kit and wondering what gear is actually worth investing in, I put together my Photographer’s Gear Guide with the cameras, lenses, lighting, and equipment I use in my own business.

“What are we all going to wear?” 😅

It’s usually one of the FIRST questions families have after booking their portrait session—and I get it. You’re not just choosing one outfit. You’re trying to make an entire family look coordinated without looking like you tried too hard.

The good news? You don’t need matching outfits or a brand-new wardrobe to photograph beautifully.

Swipe through for some of my favorite ways to plan outfits that feel cohesive, comfortable, and still look like YOUR family. And save this post for when it’s time to start digging through everyone’s closets!

Want help with everything else, too?

I created my Family Session Welcome Guide to take the guesswork out of preparing for your session. Inside, I cover styling, choosing a location, what to expect from start to finish, posing, session prep, ideas for your finished photos, FAQs, and more.

🍂 Fall family portrait season is here! Grab the guide through the link in my bio and start planning your session.

Class of 2027, the clock is ticking! 🎓📸

Yearbook deadlines are getting closer, which means there’s not much time left to get those fall senior portraits on the calendar.

Senior photos are about so much more than checking a yearbook photo off the list. This is your chance to capture their personality, style, interests, and who they are during one of the biggest years of their life.

If senior portraits are still sitting on your fall to-do list, this is your sign to get them booked!

🎓 Now booking fall senior sessions. Head to the link in my bio to get started.

Come spend a headshot + branding day with me! 📸

One of my favorite things about on-location sessions is getting to step into a client’s space and create images that actually feel connected to their business.

We can capture updated headshots, team photos, working shots, office details, and plenty of branding content—all without your team having to leave the office.

A lot goes into a shoot day, but this is the fun part: turning an ordinary workday into a whole new library of images for your brand.

Need updated photos for your business or team? Let’s plan your session! Click the link in my bio to get started! 🔗

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.
