PORTRAITS

Oh my goodness we love the pics and can’t help but to keep looking at them constantly w a BIG smile ??? thanks so much Tara for your vision and helping to capture a very special moment for us!! ~ Shyla

“…we just love her [senior] pictures! You did a great job and we really appreciate everything you did! The prints and canvas print came out just beautiful! ~ Lisa Moncrief

Only word that comes to mind is WOW!!!.  The pics you took are just stunning.  You have such a vision and drive, I admire you for what you’ve accomplished.  Thanks for the wonderful job you did. ~ Ryan Zabriskie

The pictures are WONDERFUL. You are an AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!  Thank you for the time you spent with us photographing us.  You captured the true essence of who we are in those photos.  Thank you. ~ Christa

We had such a wonderful experience with Tara! I have very active, young children. Tara was able to adjust and be creative to get those perfect shots. She was also very patient and kind. We absolutely love our photos and will be back for more! ~ Pamela Hagg

We LOVE the pictures Tara took of our family. As always, time gets away from me and I find myself trying to schedule our annual pictures last minute. Due to an unexpected vacation, illness, and the hurry of the season I was even later than usual. Tara found a spot for me and though I was sick, she was able to reschedule, take our pictures, get them to me sooner than anticipated, and I had our cards back and mailed out in PLENTY of time for the holiday season. She went over and above and I suspect this is just how she does things. I’m so thankful for my friend’s referral and plan to continue to use her in the future. ~ Amy Wallace

Tara is beyond awesome and I have recommended her to everyone that asks about the pictures we proudly display in our house, the cards we sent out at Christmas time and really in any conversation. Her professionalism is a gift, her attitude is positive and her patience is virtuous. She is great with kids big and small, young and old! ~ Jeff Mechler and Mark Vines

I have used Tara many times over the last couple of years. She is always able to capture the personalities of my children perfectly! She is great with them and took as much time as we needed to capture the perfect pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, especially if you have children! ~ Rachel Barzilla

I wasn’t sure how the session would go especially when my 3 yr old son introduced himself as “I Batman”. But, Tara did an amazing job capturing my children’s spirit and fun, loving attitudes. She made them…well, the whole family …feel very comfortable. I really love how our family pictures are very casual, natural and relaxed instead of “posed”. Thank you Tara ! ~ Michelle Combs

First, Tara took some incredible pictures of me to use for professional reasons – not so easy to flatter me in the seventh decade of my life, but she did it anyway – I am so grateful to have those photos any time someone requests one. Then, this spring, she took pictures of my three-year-old granddaughter among the bluebonnets and they were really precious, though it wasn’t all that easy to get her to pose – Tara was very patient with her and just waited until the pose was right – Plus she took so many that some were bound to be good. I will continue to use her for our family’s portrait needs. Thanks, Tara, for two jobs well done, so far! ~ Linda White

Tara was wonderful taking my daughters senior pictures. She brought several friends & siblings with her, Tara was more than accommodating with the large crowd. Her styling of the pictures turned out just beautiful. The final product turned out much better than I could have hoped for! She made her old mom look good! ~ Kristin Roach

Tara was amazing! She took our family photo including my 18 month old nephew. There wasn’t a single picture she took that I didn’t love. The images she captured of my family was so incredible. She captured images that I thought would be hard with a 18th month old but she captured them beautifully. I have never had such a fun and memorable experience while having pictures taken. I would recommend her to anyone. She is truly talented and one of a kind. ~ Laura

My children (including a 10 week old) had pictures taken by Tara. I wasn’t sure how they would turn out seeing how my baby can’t even sit up. Well…they were great! She is very patient and good with the kids. Fun times! ~ Sada Winter

Tara is a rare gem! She was patient with our three boys (and me!) while taking our family photos. We love all of our photos. The comment was made about our framed portrait that “it looks like one of those paper inserts that come in frames when you buy them.” This is totally a testament to Tara’s skills and not our rag-tag bunch of boys!! ~ Reagan Fox

HEADSHOTS

Tara was so flexible when it came to times and worked with us for our corporate headshot shoot in the office. She was so supportive and kind, giving great direction to everyone. The photos turned out fantastic and I would definitely recommend her! ~M. Clendenen, Blue Spruce Capital

First of all thank you, I had fun!  Secondly, they turned out awesome!!! So awesome I can’t decide!!! ~ Devlyn Emilio

I’d completely recommend using Tara for your next photography needs. Based on her portfolio and the work she’s done with me, I can verify it’s completely worth your while. Tara brings great experience, professionalism and fun to what some would consider to be a very nervous setting. She brings out natural confidence in the client through out the photo shoot. I first found out about Tara’s work through the collaboration she does with Pink Petro and I’d highly recommend her services for not only professional head shots, but personal events and family photos as well. ~ Catherine Cavazos

Took a new professional headshot by Tara Flannery Photography. She was extremely pleasant with a magnetic personality and very accommodating to our company’s needs. Overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services if you are in the greater Houston area and in need of an updated headshot. Thank you Tara Flannery! ~ Aarren Snowney, Dressander

Thank you so much, Tara.  I will sing praises of your fabulous work to all my friends, family and colleagues.  I will also keep you in mind if I need more photos in the future.  I suspect that once folks in my network see my LinkedIn photo, they will promptly delete their profile photos, and ask me where the heck I got mine done.  There’s just no substitute for a quality photo.  I personally think it is a pound foolish to put anything up at all unless it is done professionally.  ~Stephen Peterson

EVENTS

 

Tara took pictures at my son’s graduation party. She came and blended in with the party goers. She did an outstanding job! So much so, that I had her take pictures of my family and of a friend’s going away party. She is now like one of the family! I will use her again and again! ~ Christy Dillard

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.

If you’re hosting a holiday party this year… there’s something you don’t want to overlook 👇🏻

Your team is already together, dressed up, and in great spirits — which makes it the perfect moment to update everyone’s headshots. No juggling schedules, no tracking people down, no pulling anyone out of meetings. Just quick, polished photos your team can pop in for, and then head right back to the party.

It’s an easy way to add value to your celebration and give your employees something they’ll actually use heading into the new year. And with my streamlined event setup (and zero admin work for you), the process is effortless from start to finish.

✨ If you’re planning a holiday party, let’s talk about adding on-site headshots.

- Do this instead 👇🏻
 
  Most people focus on their outfit or expression — but your background plays a huge role in how others perceive you. It sets the tone for your personal brand before you even introduce yourself.
 
  Your space tells clients what working with you feels like.
 
  Here’s how different backdrops communicate different messages:
 
 🏢 Corporate office → traditional, established, and formal.
 
 🌿 Natural outdoor setting → approachable, creative, and warm.
 
 🏙️ Urban or architectural environment → modern, edgy, and innovative.
 
 🎨 Solid color or studio backdrop → clean, versatile, and timeless.
 
  Even subtle shifts in tone, texture, or color can completely change the mood of your headshot — which is why the location is just as important as the lighting or pose.
 
  And here’s the exciting part: with the help of professional AI editing, you don’t have to choose just one. We can create on-brand variations that fit different platforms — like LinkedIn, your website, or your marketing materials — while keeping your headshot cohesive and authentic.
 
  Because when every detail works together — from your expression to your background — your headshot becomes more than a picture. It becomes your first impression.
 
 📩 Ready to plan your next session? Message me and let’s find the backdrop that tells your brand story best.
