VanHoutan Wedding - Sean and Elizabeth - Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church

 These are the weddings we dream about. Perfect and photogenic and beautiful and overflowing with emotion. Elizabeth and Sean are one of the most fun and laid back couples we've ever had! One thing I really loved about them is how funny they were... quirky and hilarious. Their bridal party was right there with them. I haven't laughed that much in a long time. And while I was not 100% a knee injury, we brought in Philip and Alexandra Lenz (Lenz Photography) all the way from Atlanta, GA to help shoot this wedding. They were the perfect photographers for this wedding party! Overall, we had an amazing time and I'm really excited to share the day with you here! Enjoy!!!



As usual, we have included a video for you to enjoy. Some of the highlights from the day. Shortly we will post these and more to a facebook album! If you were at this wedding, PLEASE share this on your wall! To enjoy full, click on full screen.

Jacob and Emily’s wedding was like something out of a fairytale. Held at the charming Stony Point Hall, just a short drive from Baldwin and Lawrence, it was a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. The venue, Stony Point Hall, was the perfect backdrop for their special day. Nestled in the countryside, it exudes rustic charm and elegance, setting the scene for a dreamy celebration. With the beautiful cloudy skies, there was a coolness in the air that made everything feel just right. As Emily made her way down the aisle, Jacob couldn’t help but be overcome with emotion. Tears of joy welled up in his eyes as he watched his beautiful bride approach him, surrounded by the love and support of their friends and family.

Skylar's newborn session - Interview with mom - Topeka's Newborn Photographers

Oh Skylar! A beautiful baby with thick black hair and an adorable presence, stole our hearts with her funny expressions and cooperative demeanor during our photography session with her.

Larae's newborn session - Interview with mom and dad - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

I was so excited to photograph Larae as she is the beautiful baby of a very long time client, like probably 15-20 years. So this was a very special occasion that I wanted to make sure was absolutely perfect and it was! Larae is just precious and such a chill baby! She was so much fun to photograph and the special images we got with mom and dad were so beautiful. So thankful for the opportunity! Make sure to read the interview with mom and dad. Very touching and fun to read. T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Larae?  Christopher: Pure unabashed excitement and love. We had wished for her for so long that it seemed unreal in the moment.  Nicole: Instantly, the most pure love that I've ever felt. It was all so surreal. Chris and I had been trying to have a baby for a long time, and I had only ever visited friends and family to see their babies, up until this moment. To know that this baby laying on my chest was my own that I created, was the happiest moment in my lif

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 setting.  Bring an extra jacket or cardigan to th

P.: How was your pregnancy? Did you have any food cravings? Chanel: It was rough but a great surprise because she was a boy up until 22 weeks. I craved Mexican food also sweet tarts, pickles.  T.H.
