Why Hire an Event Photographer? | NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Gala 2017

Tara Flannery is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) and Woodlands event photographer based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX.  Tara Flannery Photography specializes in event photography.  See more event photography in the gallery.  Contact me to book your family portrait today!

Why Hire a Woodlands Event Photographer?

As a Houston Event Photographer, I love to be with people and capture the special moments of an event!  My favorite thing is to see the beauty in a tiny detail during an event.  You might see me running to get my macro lens and then carrying a couple of cameras around to get that one special moment.  And then a smile, a laugh shared between friends.  Perfection!  And I’ll chat with folks and joke along the way too!

First birthday parties, galas, corporate events, and anniversary parties are just a few of the events that we cover at Tara Flannery Photography.  We also photograph baptisms, first Communions, and other religious celebrations.  Your event is so special and you’ve worked really hard on planning all of the details.  Let us capture those details, smiles, and laughter so you can enjoy the celebration!

Event photography is a lot of fun for me and I hope that you’ll invite me to your next gathering.  Call me to book your baptism, birthday party, quinceañera, milestone celebration, corporate event, or other special event.  Everyone who attends the event can see the images afterwards and remember that special day too!

NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Gala 2017

Northwest Assistance Ministries (NAM) is a huge and very well managed organization providing assistance to those in need.  The motto “neighbors helping neighbors” only begins to describe the many programs and services available to those in need.  NAM provides career services, meals on wheels, a clinic for children, family violence center, food pantry, and much more.  These services are invaluable to the community.  The Jeans and Jewels annual gala is NAM’s major fundraiser.  Nearly 100% of the funds raised at the gala will go directly toward programs.  The annual budget is covered earlier in the year and therefore the funds from the gala go straight to the people in need.  Not only is the gala hugely successful but it’s also a lot of fun!  I had fun just watching everyone else enjoy the evening.  Next year, mark your calendar for NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Gala at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott.

🎓 Planning senior photos? Start with my Senior Session Guide!

I put it together to help you plan your session—from what to wear and what to bring to all the little details that make your photos feel like you. Grab it through the link in my bio!

And one thing I always encourage seniors to think about? Don’t document just one moment of senior year.

So much changes between the beginning of the school year and graduation.

Fall is about who you are right now—your personality, interests, style, sports, hobbies, and everything that made these last four years yours.

By spring, the focus starts shifting toward what’s next—college decisions, future plans, and all the excitement that comes with finishing senior year.

And then comes the cap and gown. 🎓 The final milestone before one chapter officially closes and another begins.

Senior year goes FAST. Take the photos. 🤍

Great headshot lighting doesn’t need to be complicated—it needs to be intentional. 📸

Where you place your light, how you position your reflector, and understanding what each one is actually doing can be the difference between a headshot that feels fine and one that looks clean, crisp, and polished.

And once you find setups that work? You don’t need to reinvent the wheel at every session.

That consistency is especially important when you’re photographing corporate teams and need every headshot to look cohesive—even when people are photographed at different times.

If you’re a photographer working on your headshot lighting, I put together a FREE guide with 3 Lighting Setups for Flawless Headshots that you can reference when planning your next session.

💡 Grab the guide through the link in my bio and save this reel for the next time you’re setting up your lights!

Your business doesn’t need to be “more established” first.

You don’t need to lose the weight, finish the website, perfect your wardrobe, or wait until you feel 100% ready.

If your current photos no longer reflect the level of business you’re building, that’s reason enough to update them.

A branding session gives you more than a new headshot—it gives you a library of intentional, on-brand images you can actually use across your website, social media, marketing, speaking opportunities, and everything in between.

We’ll plan the looks, the location, the shots you need, and how you’ll use them.

You just have to finally put it on the calendar. 😉

You’re not supposed to know what to do in front of the camera—that’s my job. 🙌🏼

I’ll tell you where to put your hands, how to angle your body, when to shift your weight, where to look, and yes… I’ll probably demonstrate it myself first. 😂

Good posing isn’t about memorizing a bunch of complicated positions. It’s about making small adjustments that help you look confident, approachable, and like yourself.

And if you want a little head start before your next headshot or branding session, I put together a free guide with 5 Power Poses Every Professional Should Know.

These are simple poses you can use for professional photos, speaking engagements, events, or anytime a camera gets pointed your way.

📸 Grab the free guide through the link in my bio—and save this reel as proof that you will never be left standing in front of my camera wondering what to do with your hands. 😂
