Ethan's newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Ethan was such a joy to photograph during his newborn session! He is a beautiful, mellow little guy with big, sweet eyes and the most precious expressions. He made our job so easy with how chill and happy he was throughout the session. His big sister was just as adorable, and we had so much fun capturing the two of them together with some really cute sibling moments. It was truly a family affair, and we were able to get some wonderful pictures of the whole family together. Ethan was an absolute dream to work with, and we are so thankful for the opportunity to capture these memories. We just love how the photos turned out and can’t wait for the family to enjoy them for years to come. T.H.P.: What did you think when you first saw Ethan? Crystal: Our family is complete and my heart filled with love even more than I knew it could. T.H.P.:   How did you come up with his name?

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

Image
Baby Noble was such a sweet little guy to photograph. He had the cutest expressions when he was awake—so curious and just taking everything in with those little eyes. When he drifted off to sleep, he was completely peaceful and relaxed, making it easy to capture those soft, cozy newborn moments that parents love so much. He was calm, content, and just so easy to adore throughout the entire session. We also got to spend time photographing him with his big brother, and that part was especially special. At first, big brother was a little hesitant and unsure, but he warmed up beautifully as the session went on. By the end, we were getting the sweetest moments—kisses, hugs, and genuine love with little Noble. Mom and dad were absolutely in love with him, and the connection between all of them was so real and full of emotion. It was a beautiful, simple session filled with closeness, love, and the joy of welcoming baby Noble into the family. T.H. P.:  What did you think when you first sa...

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

Image
Linley was such a beautiful little baby, and she already looks so much like her mama. One of the first things you notice about her is her hair—it’s lighter in color, but so incredibly thick that you can’t miss it. Most of the time with blonde babies, it’s hard to tell just how much hair they have, but not with Linley. She has a full head of it, and it photographed so beautifully. She was calm, sweet, and made the session feel easy from start to finish. We were also able to capture some really special moments with her big sister, who absolutely adored her and loved being part of the session. Grandma was there too, helping out and making sure everything went smoothly, which always makes a difference. It was such a relaxed and enjoyable time, and I’m so thankful I got to create these memories for their family. T.H. P.: What did you think when you first saw Linley? Kristen: I couldn’t believe she was 8 lbs 8 oz! T.H. P.:   How did you come up with her name? Kristen:   I found i...

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

Image
Baby Penelope was absolutely adorable and had a full head of beautiful hair that everyone noticed right away. Her mom was completely crazy about her, and it was so sweet to see the love between them during the session. Penelope was such a calm baby most of the time, which made the whole experience feel very relaxed and peaceful. Even when she had a few little fussy moments here and there, she settled right back down and kept everyone smiling. One of my favorite things about Penelope was how expressive she was. She gave us the cutest little smiles, tiny smirks, and even some sweet cooing sounds while we photographed her. Those little moments made the session feel extra special. We were able to capture some truly beautiful expressions, and the whole session was just so much fun. It was one of those newborn sessions that really felt special from beginning to end.  T.H. P.: How did you come up with Penelope's name? Angela: She’s not named after anyone in particular. We like more cl...

Lovelyn's newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
There are sessions that just feel special from the start, and Lovelyn was one of those babies. She was so sweet, so cute, and had the most calm, mild-mannered personality. She made my job easy with her adorable little expressions and how relaxed she was through most of the session. Toward the end she got a little fussy, but even then she was still so good. It’s always amazing how much personality can already show up in such a tiny little human, and Lovelyn definitely had it. What made this session even more meaningful for me was getting to photograph Hunter again—this time as a mom. I took her senior portraits several years ago, and now here she is with a baby of her own. That’s one of the things I love most about what I do, getting to be part of these moments as life comes full circle. I’m really excited to share these images—these are some of my favorites, and I’m so thankful I got to create these memories for her. T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with Lovelyn’s name? Hunter: I...

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

Image
We photographed sweet baby Landry, and she was absolutely adorable. One thing that immediately caught my eye was how much hair she had—and it was in the cutest little mohawk. I even grabbed a close-up of it because the shape was just so funny and perfect. She was such a good baby the whole time, and her session felt really calm and easygoing. We also got some beautiful photos with mom and dad that really showed that connection and love. The whole session had a very sweet, relaxed feel to it, and everything just came together so naturally. I’m really happy with how her images turned out and so thankful I got to capture these moments for their family. T.H. P.: How did you come up with her name? Jayme: I am a big Dallas Cowboys fan. Tom Landry is one of the greatest coaches in Cowboys history. I didn't want to name my baby Tom, so Landry it was. T.H. P.:   What did you think when you first saw her? Jayme:   We didn't know if we were having a boy or girl. My husband was able to ...

Catalina's Newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Catalina was such a sweet little baby and an absolute natural in front of the camera. She made our job so easy with her calm, laid-back personality, and her full head of hair was impossible not to notice! We got some beautiful shots of her by herself and some adorable family photos with her proud mom and dad. It was such a joy to capture these first moments with her family. Catalina’s easygoing nature and sweet expressions made the session fun, and I love that her parents have these memories to treasure forever. T.H. P.: How did you come up with Catalina's name? Monzerrat: We wanted a name that wasn’t super common and could translate easily in both Spanish and English, and Catalina felt like the perfect fit. T.H. P.:   What did you think when you first saw her? Monzerrat:   I was surprised by how much hair she had and how much smaller she was than the doctors had told us she would be. T.H. P.:   Who does she look like? Monzerrat:   She definitely looks like h...

Interview with Hunter Kirkwood - Washburn Rural Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
It was such a great morning photographing Hunter for his senior session at the lake. When we arrived, we were surprised at how empty the park was. It made the whole session feel peaceful and relaxed, and it gave us plenty of space to capture some great photos. The morning started off cloudy and a little dreary, but by the end of the session the sun began to come out, giving us some beautiful light to finish with. The whole setting felt calm, comfortable, and just really enjoyable. One thing that stood out right away about Hunter was how easy he was to talk to. He has a great personality and made the session feel very natural. We had some great conversations while walking around the lake and finding different spots for photos. Hunter is a genuinely nice guy, and it was a pleasure getting to know him a bit during his session. He has a realistic but optimistic outlook on life, and I truly believe he has a very promising future ahead of him. T.H. P.: What are your plans after high school...

How to Prepare for a Photo Session - Topeka's Best Family Portrait Photographers

Image
Select outfits that will make for a timeless portrait. Choose practical clothing items, and keep the location and time of year in mind.  Select clothing items and accessories that are not too distracting or that you will have to adjust often during the session (think long necklaces or ruffled tops on a windy day).  Keep in mind the weather, wind speed, and humidity/chance of rain.  If you have littles, bring them some snacks to help give them incentives during the session.  This can help us to get kids to cooperate and make or break a session.  If it is windy, wear your hair up.  Trimming your bangs/hair slightly to keep them out of your eyes is a great idea, too! Use product like mousse, gel, pomade, and hairspray to tame your mane!    Pick shoes that will be easy to walk in at the location of the session.  For example, high heels are not recommended for sunflower shoots, but would look great in an urban/downtown ...
