Brody on the blog! - Topeka, KS children's portrait photographer




Saturday we had the opportunity of photographing this adorable baby boy Brody. Three months old and he had all the expressions that three months old in their intrigue of their surroundings have. I will be posting the rest of their session later. I just wanted to get this out for you to see.

Wyatt Robert's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Sweet little Wyatt was in the studio for his newborn session, and what a joy he was to photograph. Mom told me he weighed over nine pounds at birth, and he was definitely a chunk! He had the cutest blonde hair and even gave us several little smiles and smirks during the session. He was such a sweet baby, and we were able to create some really precious images that I know his family will treasure for years to come. One thing that made this session especially meaningful for me was seeing Wyatt's dad as a father. More than 10 years ago, I photographed his senior pictures, and now here he is holding his newborn son. Life has a way of moving fast. Wyatt is also the very first grandbaby on both sides of the family, so you know he's going to be absolutely spoiled with love. It was such an honor to capture these memories for them, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with Wyatt's name? Hannah: We knew his middle name was ...

Interview with Sadie Craig - West Franklin High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Senior sessions like Sadie's are the ones that really get my creative side going. She has such a unique style, and from the moment she showed me examples of the kinds of photos she loved, I knew this wasn't going to be a typical senior session. She was drawn to dramatic, cinematic, and darker images, and I couldn't wait to bring those ideas to life. Of course, we made sure to capture the classic smiling portraits everyone loves, but some of my favorite images from her session were the ones where we pushed ourselves creatively with dramatic lighting, movement, interesting posing, and a little bit of artistic storytelling. Those are the sessions that remind me why I love what I do. We photographed Sadie and her brother Tristan together, taking turns throughout the evening, but their sessions ended up having completely different personalities. We started at Ward-Meade Park before heading to NOTO, which felt like the perfect place for someone as artistic as Sadie. The colorful ...

Interview with Juan Morales - Highland Park High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had a great time photographing Juan from Highland Park High School for his senior portraits. We started at the Capitol and got some really nice photos around the grounds before heading over to the Governor's Mansion. What made this session a little different is that we photographed everything right in the middle of the day. Normally, we like to include some country locations closer to sunset, but the light worked out beautifully and we were able to create some amazing images throughout the entire session. Juan was a lot of fun to photograph. He has a great personality, is very easy to talk to, and is naturally photogenic. The session seemed to fly by as we spent a lot of time talking about his plans after high school and some of the things he enjoys doing. After reading through his interview and hearing about his goals, it's easy to see that he has a solid plan for his future. He's a very impressive young man, and I have no doubt he's going to be successful in whatev...

Kinslee's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
We recently had the pleasure of photographing sweet little Kinslee, and what a fun session it was! Mom and Dad were so excited to capture this special time in their lives, and their joy was easy to see throughout the entire session. Kinslee was absolutely adorable and seemed to love being in front of the camera. She even gave us a few precious little smiles and smirks that made everyone in the room melt. One of our favorite parts of the session was watching Mom and Dad with their baby girl. Every little thing Kinslee did brought big smiles to their faces, and it was clear how much they adore her. The session flew by before we knew it, and we were able to create so many beautiful images that tell the story of these early days together. We know these photos will be treasured for years to come, and we are so thankful we got to be a small part of this special chapter for their family. T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with baby's name? Kaitlyn: Kinslee Anne came through a process of...

Interview with Nate Leeper - Hayden High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Nate's senior session was one of those mornings that reminds us why we love what we do. We met bright and early at 6 a.m. on a beautiful family farm where we've photographed several of his cousins over the years. The sunrise could not have been more perfect, giving us amazing light and a beautiful backdrop for his photos. Nate is a student-athlete at Hayden High School, where he plays both football and golf, and he brought a great attitude to the entire session. He was easygoing, cooperative, and really got into the experience. One of my favorite things about Nate's session was seeing his personality come through in the photos. He's a sharp looking young man, and his outfits were great, especially the suit, which gave us some really classy images. We also enjoyed spending the morning with his mom and sharing plenty of laughs along the way. The session flew by, and before we knew it, we had captured a gallery full of great images. These are some of our favorite photos fr...

Interview with Rico Chavez - Shawnee Heights High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Rico's senior session was such a fun one from start to finish. He is a good-looking young man with a great smile, an easygoing personality, and a laid-back attitude that made him a pleasure to photograph. We started downtown before heading to Shawnee Lake and Bettis Family Sports Complex, where we captured some photos that reflected his love of soccer. From there, we found a beautiful spot with tall grass and a country feel, and we wrapped up the evening by the water at Shawnee Lake. The variety of locations gave us so many different looks, and Rico looked great in every one of them. One of the things that stood out most during the session was how respectful Rico was and how close he is with his family. His mom joined us for the session, and it was easy to see the great connection they share. We spent the evening laughing, talking, and creating memories while capturing this exciting time in his life. At the end of the session, his mom told us how much she enjoyed the experience and...

Interview with Hannah Marchant - Topeka West High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Hannah was so much fun to photograph for her senior session at Ward Meade Park . One of the coolest parts of the day was when she showed me a photo we had taken of her when she was little. Even though it had been years, I actually remembered photographing her, which made for a fun trip down memory lane. Hannah has a bright personality and an amazing smile, and she was incredibly photogenic from the moment we started. Her mom came along for the session too, and it was great getting to spend some time with both of them. It was a warm day, but Hannah handled it like a pro. As a dancer, she knows how to bring energy and confidence in front of the camera, and it definitely showed in her photos. She wore two great outfits during the session. I loved the white dress she started with, and some of my favorite images came from that look. Her second outfit was bright orange, which happens to be my favorite color. When I mentioned that, she immediately said it was her favorite too! It was a funny...

Interview with Tristan Craig - West Franklin High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
I had the best time photographing Tristan for his senior portraits. We started at Ward-Meade Park, where we had this incredible variety of backgrounds. The sun was shining, giving us a warm, golden glow. Then, we headed over to the NOTO district, and it was just bursting with color. Every corner was vibrant, and Tristan really lit up, especially when we brought his tuba into the shots. I’ve been photographing him since he was little, so it was really special to see him grow into this moment. I could tell he was having a blast, and so was I. I really could see his personality come through, and it was such a nice session and I really love how these turned out! T.H. P.: What classes do you like most? Tristan: Classes I have with people I can talk to. T.H. P.: What will you miss about high school? Tristan: I will miss not being able to see my friends on a schedule. T.H. P.: Plans after high school? Tristan: Attend college for music education. T.H. P.: What do you like about playing ...

Interview with Emberly Connell - Hayden High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had such a great time photographing Emberly’s senior pictures! We started the session at Four Corners, where the rustic buildings and warm evening sunlight gave us the perfect backdrop for some amazing portraits. Emberly was a natural in front of the camera from the very beginning. Her smile came so easily, and she looked completely comfortable throughout the session. Her mom was there the whole time helping out and cheering her on, which made the experience even more fun. After that, we headed to Osage County Fishing Lake, where the skies absolutely stole the show. We photographed in the fields, along the gravel paths, and around the lake, but my favorite images came when we moved down to the water. Emberly looked beautiful standing along the shoreline and even stepping into the water for some truly unforgettable photos. The final images of the evening were especially stunning. The sky turned into soft shades of pink, purple, and blue, creating a cotton-candy sunset that was simpl...

Jordan and Tiffany's Engagement Session - Cyrus Hotel - Topeka's Best Wedding and Engagement Photographers

Image
Jordan and Tiffany's engagement session at the Cyrus Hotel in downtown Topeka was such a great way to spend a Saturday morning. We started inside the beautiful hotel, taking advantage of the elegant lobby and other indoor spaces before heading up to the rooftop patio overlooking Kansas Avenue. The views of downtown Topeka made the perfect backdrop for their engagement photos, and the weather could not have been better. What stood out most about Jordan and Tiffany was how much they genuinely enjoy being together. You could see it in every smile, laugh, and look they shared throughout the session. They told me this was their first professional photo shoot together, but you never would have guessed it. They were complete naturals in front of the camera and had incredible chemistry. It was easy to capture authentic moments because they were simply having fun being with each other, and that made this session so special. T.H. Peterson: Where did you guys meet? Jordan: We met through mu...
