The Woodlands Headshot Photographer | Headshots for Michele

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

Why put a headshot on your company website?

It’s my job to investigate and research websites and evaluate the headshots posted as The Woodlands headshot photographer.  I do it every time I visit a new website – I go to the “meet the team” or “about us” page and check out the people.  I know many of you do the same thing.  People do business with people!  It can be any website from my daughter’s horse farm to the pediatric dentist to the financial planner.  It is my opinion that every company should have a simple, effective website that is easy for customers to navigate and find the information that they’re looking for.  And every website should have at least the owner and management team pictured on the website.  It’s helpful if there are also photos of the staff who will be interacting with customers on a routine basis.  When headshots are posted on a website, potential clients have essentially “met” you before they even walk through your door.  There is a level of comfort and familiarity that breeds confidence.

Stutman Law’s newest lawyer, Michele

Doesn’t it feel like you already know Michele?  If I didn’t know her, I would feel very comfortable (after seeing her headshot) sitting down with her to discuss my legal needs.  Michele is the newest lawyer with Stutman Law in the Houston office.  She actually worked with Rick and Cindy years ago and is rejoining their team after an extended leave to be with her children (go Michele)!  The Stutman Law website features headshots for each of their attorneys.  Once you click on a thumbnail image of an attorney, you are taken to a new page with a larger photo and bio for that person.  It’s a great layout – first seeing the thumbnail and then getting a better sense of surroundings and who they are by seeing the entire photo.  Stutman law truly embraces the idea that posting headshots on your website is a great way to meet potential clients before they ever step into your office!

If you’re just starting a photography business… you need to watch this.

I recently showed up to a headshot session at an office building with all my gear—ready to go—and security wouldn’t let me in.

Not because anything was wrong… but because there was a miscommunication, and I didn’t have a certificate of insurance on file with the building.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about when you’re first starting out—but it matters.

As you grow and start booking more corporate or on-location sessions, these small admin details become part of the job.

Clear communication with your client (or their admin team) ahead of time can save you a lot of stress on shoot day.

👉🏻 If you’re in that stage of figuring everything out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you avoid mistakes like this—grab them in my bio.

What’s something you’ve learned the hard way on a shoot? 🤔⬇️

Think Tank Bags… if you see this… please sponsor me 🤝🏼

But in all seriousness—photographers love a good piece of gear.

And it’s really easy to convince yourself that the next upgrade is what’s going to take your work to the next level.

Sometimes that’s true.

If a piece of equipment makes your workflow smoother, more efficient, or solves a real problem for you—it’s worth every penny.

But if it’s just shiny, new, and replacing something that already works… it can probably wait.

The goal isn’t to have more gear—it’s to have the right gear for how you actually shoot.

🔗 If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in, I put together a Photographer Gear Guide that breaks it all down—link in bio.

🤔 Curious… what’s one piece of equipment you’ve bought that was 100% worth it?

A small snapshot of the teams I’ve worked with recently 📸👇🏻

Headshots are one of those things that are easy to put off… until you realize your photos no longer reflect where you are now.

Outdated images, inconsistent team photos, or a mix of styles across platforms can quietly take away from how your brand is perceived.

A headshot refresh doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs to be intentional.

If your team’s photos haven’t been updated in a while, this is a good time to take a look at what you’re currently using.

Some of my favorite senior photos always include something personal.

Instruments, sports gear, pets, cars—these are the details that make your photos feel like you.

Senior sessions aren’t just about getting a few good pictures—they’re about capturing this season in a way that feels real and meaningful.

And with senior year right around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about it.

Spots tend to fill up quickly once the school year gets going, so planning ahead makes all the difference.

“Pick something you’d do for free…” It sounds simple—but building a career around it is anything but.

There’s a lot that goes into turning photography into something sustainable—learning your craft, understanding lighting, figuring out your gear, working with clients, and continuing to grow.

But if you’re willing to put in the time, it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do.

If you’re just getting started, I have a few free resources to help you figure out what actually matters (and what doesn’t).

🔗 You can grab them with the link in my bio.
