Why Choose Custom Family Portraiture?

Custom family portraiture is a particular style of photography that provides a client with a full-service and fully custom experience.  The experience involves a process.  First, a consultation allows for the photographer and client to get to know each other.  We talk about style and wardrobe and end goals for the family portraits.  This initial step allows us to tailor not only the session but the resulting images and products for exactly what the client needs.

Next, the family portrait session is a fun event for the family.  We have a plan for the session that we created during the consultation and everyone can feel at ease.  Finally, we review the images together and select the very best ones for your order.  I have curated a selection of the highest-quality products that I believe serve my clients for years to come.  This involves measurements and placement within your home to ensure that everything fits and coordinates perfectly within your home.

Tara Flannery Photography – A Custom Family Portrait Studio

Several years ago, I transitioned to a full-service custom portrait studio.  My old business model (providing only digital images) did not serve my clients the way that I would want to be served.  I can’t bear the thought of those precious memories living only as digital pixels (not to mention the time and planning involved to create those memories).  Now my business needed to offer more to my clients and serve them better!

From my clients’ shoes, I pictured a photography service that would look at the walls in my home, discuss the possibilities of hanging those memories on the walls, measure the space, evaluate the decor, and help me to accomplish those goals.  That service was born in a new business model and I’m so happy to be providing that superior service now to my family portrait clients.  If you want a fully custom family photography service, let’s chat about the possibilities!

You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.
Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I'm curious, what cards have been working for you?
It’s never just pressing a button.

It’s reading the room.
Adjusting in real time.
Knowing how to bring out confidence—even when someone feels uncomfortable in front of the camera.

The technical side matters.
But the connection, the instinct, and the ability to see what others don’t… that’s what turns it into something more.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that feel like you, you can book through the link in my bio.
