WALL ART: Framed Prints

Why do you take family portraits?  I have my own family portraits taken every year and here’s why.  My kids are 10 and 13 and before I know it, they’ll be driving and going on dates and eventually leaving home.  I’ll try not to cry while I write this!!  I love the way our family portraits have a familiarity to them but are new and different every year.  The kids are getting older and their personalities are more and more evident.  My husband and I are a little older and grey-er but we still love to hold each other.  The connection that we share as a family can be seen and felt through our family portraits.  My family portraits hang on our walls and I can tell you the entire story behind each photograph like it were yesterday.  There’s the crazy one, where the kids came running up behind us and tackled us.  My son’s face is priceless as he looks into the camera.  Another one where I’m in a green dress and everyone looks amazing with the green forest behind us, surrounding us like a blanket of nature.  And on and on.  Truly priceless.

So why do you take family portraits?  It’s not just for the Christmas card, although I love to see those (hint, hint).  But really, it’s forever…

The Freyou Family Portraits

I met the Freyou family for their family portraits in the forest.  They brought the dog with them because our fur babies are part of our families too!  Everyone was perfect!  I just adore this family portrait framed with a dark brown wood to compliment the dark brown trees of the forest.  What a beautiful statement piece for the home.  The kids will see this photograph displayed in the home and remember just how special and wonderful they are to this family.

Framed prints are a beautiful option for your wall art.  Whether your home is classic and traditional or modern and contemporary, we can find a frame that compliments your style and taste.  With special software, we can use a photograph of the room where you’d like to hang the wall art in your home.  This image is used to place your family portrait and frame so that we know what it will look like in the space before even placing the order!  It’s a great advantage of a full-service photographic studio like Tara Flannery Photography.

Family photos with a 4-year-old? You just have to roll with it. 😂🤍

Little kids aren’t going to stand perfectly still, follow every direction, and smile on command—and I don’t expect them to!

I’d much rather meet them where they are. We’ll play, move around, be silly, take little breaks when we need them, and work toward those sweet moments in between.

That’s part of why I love family sessions so much. The goal isn’t perfectly behaved kids or a picture-perfect hour. It’s capturing your family as they are right now.

And yes, we’ll still get that beautiful everyone-looking-at-the-camera photo for the frame. 😉 But sometimes the personality-filled moments end up being the favorites.

🍂 I still have a few fall family portrait dates available! Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session.
Honestly… a little bit of everything. 📸

From professional headshots and personal branding to senior portraits and family sessions, I love creating photos that help people and businesses tell their story.

And there’s plenty more I can help with, too—large team group composites, in-office headshots for teams with different schedules, acting and modeling headshots, office branding, and more.

Basically, if you need photos for yourself, your family, or your business, let’s talk about what you have in mind. I’ll help you figure out the best way to make it happen.

Money may not buy happiness, but having photos of your family to look back on years from now? That’s pretty priceless. 🤍

Fall family portrait season is here, and I have a few weekend dates still available (spots are filling fast!) 👇🏻

September 20
October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If you’ve been meaning to update the family photos, document this season, or get those holiday card photos checked off your list, this is your sign to get on the calendar.

And once you book, I’ll make sure you’re not left wondering what to wear, where we’re going, what to bring, or what to expect. My Family Session Welcome Guide walks you through everything you need to know to feel prepared for your session. (linked in my bio)

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.
