The Woodlands Headshot Photographer | GMA Americas

Tara Flannery is The Woodlands headshot photographer and is based in The Woodlands and Conroe, TX.  See more headshots in the gallery.  Contact me to book your individual headshot session or a corporate headshot session for the whole company.

What to wear for a headshot session

Let’s face it, this is the hardest part of any photo session.  I am a Woodlands headshot photographer and I had trouble finding something to wear for my own headshot session!   I know what colors compliment my skin tone so I started there.  And I added a jacket that matches one of the colors in my logo.  Then I talked to my professional photographer to help me decide!

  1. Start with what you typically wear for your day at the office.  Depending on your job and industry, this may look different for different people.  And it may be that you’re looking for a new job and so you should dress for the new job instead of your current one.  They say that you should dress for the job that you want and not the one that you have.
  2. Think about your brand – website, colors, and style.  Dress according to this style.  Realtors should think about the company colors (green for Gary Greene and red for Keller Williams) and make sure that clothing coordinates with those colors and will not clash.
  3. Solid colors are preferred over patterns.
  4. If you choose to wear a jacket, make sure that it fits well.
  5. Ladies, no sleeveless tops because it is distracting to the eye.  We want the focus of the headshot to be on the face.

 

GMA Garnet Group

GMA Garnet Group for the Americas is based in The Woodlands, Tx.  I had the pleasure of doing a corporate headshot session for the company previously.  New employees needed headshots so they contacted me for another session.  The Hughes Landing building has a huge conference room on the edge of the lake that is beautiful and the walls of windows let in natural light.  We got headshots for about 10 employees and then a few environmental photos of the CEO.  The parent company asked for these shots of the CEO at his desk.  Thank you, team for a clean desk that was ready to go!

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.

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.

Class of 2027, the clock is ticking! 🎓📸

Yearbook deadlines are getting closer, which means there’s not much time left to get those fall senior portraits on the calendar.

Senior photos are about so much more than checking a yearbook photo off the list. This is your chance to capture their personality, style, interests, and who they are during one of the biggest years of their life.

If senior portraits are still sitting on your fall to-do list, this is your sign to get them booked!

🎓 Now booking fall senior sessions. Head to the link in my bio to get started.

Come spend a headshot + branding day with me! 📸

One of my favorite things about on-location sessions is getting to step into a client’s space and create images that actually feel connected to their business.

We can capture updated headshots, team photos, working shots, office details, and plenty of branding content—all without your team having to leave the office.

A lot goes into a shoot day, but this is the fun part: turning an ordinary workday into a whole new library of images for your brand.
