Interview with Raven Hinck - SFT Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Raven’s senior session was such a blast! We met up in Topeka and explored a few different locations that showed off the gorgeous fall colors. The leaves, the light, and Raven’s energy all came together perfectly. She’s one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable — so outgoing, so easy to talk to, and just full of personality. Every pose, every smile felt natural with her, and it made the whole session fly by way too fast. When it came time to show her photos, I couldn’t wait. There were just so many great shots of her! Raven has this expressive, genuine smile that lights up every image, and honestly, I don’t think she has a bad angle. I left the session feeling thankful I got to meet her and excited to see where life takes her next — especially as she heads off to K-State to pursue nursing and work in the NICU. She’s going to do amazing things! T.H. P.:   What are your plans after high school? Raven:   I want to go to K-State for nursing and go into the NICU....

Interview with Ryan House - Washburn Rural Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Ryan’s senior session was such an awesome one! We started downtown and even made our way up to a parking garage that overlooked Topeka — the view was incredible. We made sure to include some shots with his car, which looked great against the city backdrop. After that, we headed out to the country just in time for sunset, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The fall colors were glowing, and the light was absolutely beautiful. Ryan has such a great smile and an easygoing personality that made the whole session a blast. When his mom saw the photos, she got emotional and absolutely loved how they turned out — which always makes it extra special. It was an honor to create these portraits for both Ryan and his mom. Truly an awesome session, and I’m so excited to share a few of our favorites! T.H. Peterson:   What classes are you enjoying both this year?

You could feel the love and excitement all around as friends and family gathered to celebrate Brock and Sara’s beautiful fall wedding at Reynolds Lodge at Shawnee Lake. Brock and Sara are such a fun couple to be around. They’re playful, full of laughter, and it’s so easy to see how much they truly love each other. Watching the way they interacted throughout the day—the inside jokes, the smiles, the little looks they gave each other—was such a joy. Their connection brought so much life and warmth to the whole celebration. Even though the day was cold and a little dreary, the warmth of their love filled the room and made it feel bright and joyful. Sara looked absolutely stunning in her dress, and the...
