Profile Photography | Houston Headshot Photographer

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP)  and Craftsman based in Houston, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography specializes in profile photography.  See more headshots in the gallery.  Contact me to book your professional headshot today!

Profile Photography

Profile photography is the same as a headshot session.  Any website that requires a profile almost always requires a profile photo.  Is your headshot current or has it been a few years?  Have you lost weight or changed your hair?  If so, it’s probably time for a new headshot.  When people meet you “in real life” and you don’t look like your profile photo, they become confused.  They might wonder if they have the right person or if they messed that up somehow.  Having a current, professional headshot goes a long way toward presenting yourself as confident, competent, and trustworthy.  If you’re looking for a job, this is especially important.  Make sure your LinkedIn profile photo is professional!  Check out what Executive Career Brand says about skipping the LinkedIn profile photo.

Why NOT having a LinkedIn photo is NOT a good idea: 

✅ You can be perceived as not understanding how to use LinkedIn. It can make you seem out-of-touch with current technology and trends. You can appear to be technically incapable of loading on a photo.

✅ “Fake” LinkedIn profiles do exist. Those without photos may be perceived as not belonging to real people.

✅ Lack of a photo keeps your profile from being complete. Profiles that ARE complete are more likely to show up higher in search results, giving them an advantage over “incomplete” profiles.

✅ LinkedIn research indicates that profiles with photos are much more likely to be viewed than those without photos.

✅ If you have no photo, get an interview sight-unseen, show up for the interview, and experience discrimination based on your appearance and/or ethnic background, you’ve just wasted your time and faced an unnecessary rejection, which is always hard to take.

Does My LinkedIn Profile Really Need a Photo?

Headshot Examples

Here are a few recent examples of headshots from my studio.  I have a couple of different options for headshot sessions – contact me to find out which one is right for you!

I get it—you’ve hired someone new, and now you need a matching headshot… but your original photographer is no longer available. 😬

Do you really have to start over and re-photograph the whole team?

Not if you hire someone who knows how to recreate what’s already working.

That’s where I come in.

When a company calls me in to match an existing set of headshots, I study every detail of your current images so your new photos blend in flawlessly—like they were taken on the same day.

Here’s what I focus on to make that happen:

✅ Lighting – Studio or natural? Soft, directional, or diffused?

✅ Background – Color, texture, and how sharp or blurry it is.

✅ Cropping & Composition – How close is the shot? What’s the framing like?

✅ Posing & Expression – Are your team members posed formally or relaxed and candid?

✅ Editing Style – Bright and airy? Bold and contrasty? Warm or cool tones?

📸 The result: a polished, consistent set of headshots that reflect your brand—even across time, locations, or different photographers.

✨ You don’t need to start over. You just need the right photographer.

Ready to match your headshots? I’d love to help. Send me a message to chat!

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give her something timeless—a moment, beautifully captured.

She’s been your biggest supporter, your soft place to land, your strength through every season of life.

And while you may not say it every day… you feel it deeply: the love, the gratitude, the bond that only grows stronger over time.

A family photo session isn’t just about the images.

It’s about carving out time to be present with each other.

It’s about documenting the connection, the laughter, the quiet strength, and the unspoken love that lives in every glance and every touch.

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, becoming one yourself, or honoring the memory of someone dear—these portraits become keepsakes.

Not just for now, but for years to come.

📸 Mother’s Day sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to feel more like a meaningful experience than a posed shoot.

✨ Limited spots available—let’s create something she’ll treasure forever.
