Planning for Family Photos

You’ve decided that it’s time to have updated family portraits!  Yay!  Whether your family includes adults, children, fur babies, grandparents, or friends, be sure to have family portraits made regularly.  Family portraits are so important.  For children, seeing family portraits on the walls makes them feel valued, loved, and part of a strong support system in the home.  As the kids get older, we tend to get busy and forget to make time for family portraits.  Make family portraits a priority and you’ll have them forever to treasure.

Planning for family photos can sometimes be the most daunting part of the process.  At Tara Flannery Photography, we help you through the entire process.  We start with an in-home consultation to discuss things like location and wardrobe.  I’ll even go through your closet and help you pick out outfits if that will help!  Since wardrobe is the most stressful part for most moms (who are usually doing the organizing), I’ll help with ideas for color, style, and individual pieces that will make a beautiful cohesive look for the family.

Family and Senior Portraits for The Rollos

When Bina contacted me about family and senior portraits, I was really excited.  The family needed updated portraits and then her son is also a senior and so we discussed taking a few of him alone during the family session.  During the consultation, we talked about location and wardrobe.  She already had some ideas of shirts for the boys that she showed me and we built the outfits from there.  We also discussed the family’s style and personalities.  After the consultation, I felt like I had known them for a long time and could easily give them family portraits that they would love!  And at the reveal appointment, they loved all of them!  I’m so excited that the family now has beautiful updated family portraits.  And they have senior portraits for their son too!

Say goodbye to outdated team photos.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.

📸 Ready for headshots that feel polished and authentic? Shoot me a DM!

When you show up like a pro, doors start opening.

We wrapped this session with a simple truth: “Kyle’s going to go off and do great things.”

And he will—because he’s putting his best foot forward, starting with how he presents himself. A high-quality headshot might seem like a small thing, but it can make a powerful first impression that opens doors to new jobs, clients, or collaborations.

When you look the part, you feel the part—and the world responds accordingly.

Ever wondered why your headshots look flat instead of flattering? 👀

It all comes down to lighting. In the studio, I use one main light source and strategically placed reflectors to bounce light and fill in shadows. This creates that soft, even glow that makes you look approachable and polished—while still keeping a touch of shadow to add shape and dimension to your face.

Flat lighting can make your features disappear. The right lighting makes you stand out. ✨

Here’s why 👇🏻

Most people wait for the “perfect” moment—when they’ve lost a few pounds, changed their hair, or finally feel more confident. But here’s the truth: there will always be something you’re waiting on.

Your headshot isn’t about some future version of you—it’s about showing up confidently in the season you’re in today. Because this version of you? The one leading your team, meeting clients, building your business—that’s the version people want to connect with.

When your photo feels authentic and current, it builds instant trust. Outdated or staged images can actually do the opposite, making it harder for people to recognize the real you.

So don’t wait for “someday.” The right time to show up as your best self is always now.
