Many people have outdated portraits that no longer represent who they are. As a Certified Professional Photographer, I use lighting, posing and over 10 years of experience to create new portraits that reflect the VERY BEST YOU! With your new portraits, you'll feel confident and attract attention, happiness, and success in your personal and professional lives.

Woodsy? Urban? Garden-inspired? Something a little more modern?

Choosing a location for your family portraits isn’t just about finding a pretty backdrop—it helps set the entire feel of your photos.

The right location should complement your family, your style, your wardrobe, and ultimately the kind of images you want hanging on your walls.

Swipe through for some of my favorite family portrait locations around The Woodlands + surrounding areas and the different looks you can create at each.

And if you’re already wondering, “Okay… but what do we wear? What should we bring? What happens during the session?” I’ve got you covered there, too.

My FREE Family Session Welcome Guide walks you through the entire experience—from choosing your location and planning outfits to preparing for your session, what to expect, posing, finished photo ideas, FAQs, and more.

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.

“What are we all going to wear?” 😅

It’s usually one of the FIRST questions families have after booking their portrait session—and I get it. You’re not just choosing one outfit. You’re trying to make an entire family look coordinated without looking like you tried too hard.

The good news? You don’t need matching outfits or a brand-new wardrobe to photograph beautifully.

Swipe through for some of my favorite ways to plan outfits that feel cohesive, comfortable, and still look like YOUR family. And save this post for when it’s time to start digging through everyone’s closets!

Want help with everything else, too?

I created my Family Session Welcome Guide to take the guesswork out of preparing for your session. Inside, I cover styling, choosing a location, what to expect from start to finish, posing, session prep, ideas for your finished photos, FAQs, and more.

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.

If your kids are still living under your roof, take the photos. 🤍

You hear people say you only get 18 summers with your kids, and now that mine are grown, I understand just how quickly those years really go. Once college, work, relationships, and their own schedules enter the picture, getting everyone together at the same time gets a whole lot harder.

So don’t wait for the “perfect” year for family portraits. Document the family you have right now—the missing teeth, growth spurts, changing personalities, and even the little bit of chaos that comes with it.

Because one day, getting everyone in the same place for a family photo might be the hardest part.

🍂 Fall Family Portrait Weekend Availability:

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

Hi, I’m Tara! 👋🏼 And if you’re new here, consider this my official re-introduction.

I’m a North Houston photographer specializing in professional headshots, branding photography, senior portraits, and family photography.

But no matter what brings you in front of my camera, my goal is pretty much the same: make the whole experience feel easier than you expected.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to know which location will photograph best. And you definitely don’t need to walk in feeling completely comfortable in front of a camera.

That’s what I’m here for.

I’ll help you plan, guide you through the session, pay attention to all those tiny details you probably wouldn’t notice, and create photos that still feel like you.

Swipe through to see a few of the ways we can work together. →

Whether you’re building a brand, updating your team’s headshots, celebrating senior year, or documenting your family exactly as they are right now, I’d love to have you in front of my camera.
