Team Headshots

When adding employees or staff to a website, consistency is best! Headshots are all taken at the same time with the same lights, camera, and action! This consistency presents a professional, confident, and trustworthy team to your customers/clients/patients. With Tara Flannery Photography, we can start with as many staff members as possible who can meet on a given date and time in your office. If you hire new employees or if someone can’t make the scheduled headshot date, send them to my studio and we can match the others. Even long after the initial photo session, team members can be easily added to the website. Team headshots benefit the individual and the company, so it’s a win-win situation. Consider a headshot session with your next staff meeting or corporate gathering.

Cohesive and consistent headshots for your team

The John Cooper School had new headshots made for the leadership. I absolutely love how they turned out! Two staff members were unable to make the initial session but will have headshots made at the studio.

Hayes & Wilson law had a team headshot session as well. Everyone has a brand new headshot for the website that is consistent and professional. Then we also created a composite group photo which gives them flexibility with any team member changes in the future.

Okay… I might be dating myself here 👇🏻

But I always tell my clients, “this is very GQ.”

If you don’t know—GQ stands for Gentlemen’s Quarterly, a men’s fashion magazine known for clean, confident, classic poses.

And honestly… it’s still one of the best references for men’s headshots.

One of my go-to poses?

👉🏻 Both hands in the pockets

It instantly:
• relaxes your posture
• creates a natural stance
• gives a confident, polished look

Other simple poses that always work:

🌟 One hand in pocket, one relaxed
🌟 Arms crossed (strong, leadership feel)
🌟 Hands together in front (calm, professional)
🌟 Leaning against a wall (more casual, modern)
🌟 Seated (approachable and grounded)

And no matter the pose, the small details matter:

✔️ Slight angle in the body (don’t face the camera straight on)
✔️ Relaxed shoulders
✔️ Subtle lean toward the camera

Nothing complicated—just small adjustments that completely change how you show up on camera.

🤔 Now I’m curious…

Do you know what GQ is? Comment YES or NO

Senior portraits are just one piece of what I do 👇🏻

I also work with:
✅ professionals who need updated headshots
✅ business owners building their brand
✅ families capturing this season of life
✅ and actors/models creating strong portfolio images

Different sessions—but the same goal:
helping people show up confidently and authentically on camera

📩 If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, let’s figure it out together—link in bio to learn more.

Senior sessions with moms and sons are always… an experience 😂

A little back-and-forth, a few eye rolls, and somehow we still end up with photos everyone loves.

Honestly, those in-between moments are usually the best part.

📩 DM me if you’ve been putting off senior photos—there’s still time.

If your brand feels a little “off”… it’s usually not your content 👇🏻

It’s the lack of consistency behind it.

You’re posting, updating your website, trying to stay visible—but if your visuals don’t feel aligned, it creates a disconnect.

And that’s what people pick up on.

Your photos are one of the first things people use to decide if they trust your business.
If they feel scattered, outdated, or inconsistent, it affects how your brand is perceived—no matter how good your work actually is.

That’s exactly why I invested in my own branding session!

Because if I’m asking my clients to show up professionally, I need to do the same.

And if you’re not even sure what your brand should look like yet—that’s where you start.

📥 I created a Brand Clarity Workbook to help you define your look, message, and direction before you invest in photos.

Senior photos shouldn’t feel random… they should feel like you. 👇🏻

Before every session, we talk through a few key things to make sure your photos actually reflect this moment in your life:

✅ Location — what kind of vibe fits you? (nature, city, something more edgy?)
✅ Wardrobe — casual, polished, cap & gown, college tee… we plan it out
✅ Hobbies & interests — the things you love right now that you’ll want to remember later

Because the goal isn’t just to take photos…
it’s to capture who you are right now before everything changes. 🎓

📩 If you’re planning senior photos, let’s start with a consultation and build something intentional.

Let’s talk about men’s ties in headshots 👇🏻

It’s one of the most common questions I get before a headshot:
“Should I wear the red one… or the blue one?”

The truth is, your tie isn’t about preference—it’s about how it looks on camera.

What works best:
✅ Solid colors or subtle patterns
✅ Navy, burgundy, or charcoal tones
✅ A clean, standard width
✅ A slight texture (not too shiny, not too flat)

What to avoid:
❌ Loud prints
❌ Large patterns
❌ Anything that pulls attention away from your face

And one thing most people don’t think about…
👉🏻 your tie can also reflect your brand or company colors

The goal isn’t to stand out—it’s to look polished, confident, and professional.

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT:

These images are from a recent session with Oilfield Service Professionals—always a great example of how simple, intentional choices come together.
