So we had an awesome time with these girls! It's Lily's birthday and everyone was getting out of school, so to celebrate, they spent a couple days camping at Pomona Lake! The cabins are amazing and what a fun thing to do! So we were invited to do a session with them and just have a good time. These girls are so funny and the laughing and giggling was non stop. They have named themselves the Fab 5 and it was really cool to see their bond and friendship. I hope they have this friendship for the rest of their lives! So here are a few shots of the time we spent with them and below is a video we put together of their party. There's lots of neat pictures and video clips. If you take the time to check it out, I think you'll really love it!! Thanks for checking out this blog post and we hope you enjoy!!
The video is a little lengthy but well worth the watch! It's really great and entertaining and heartwarming. Please enjoy!

Jack’s senior session took place at the golf course at Lake Wabaunsee, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day. The sun was shining, the sky was a deep blue with just a few bright clouds, and the course looked beautiful. Jack has been playing golf since he was little, so it was special to photograph him in a place that means a lot to him. He’s a senior at Rossville High School—super friendly, easy going, and has a great smile. Jack made the session fun and relaxed, and it honestly flew by. We’re excited to share some of our favorite shots from his Class of 2026 session! T.H. Peterson: What classes are you looking forward to most your senior year?

Cole and Lauren’s wedding at Arterra Event Gallery in Lawrence, KS was absolutely perfect. It was a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and so much personality. Surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, the atmosphere was intimate and joyful. The bridal party brought a ton of fun and creativity—so quirky and full of life! Cole and Lauren chose to wait to see each other until the ceremony, and when Lauren walked down the aisle, the emotions were overwhelming. There were tears, smiles, and so much love in the air. It was short, sweet, and truly moving. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres and an incredible meal catered by Macelli’s—every bite was as beautiful as it was delicious. The toasts brought even more tears and laughter, as family and friends shared heartfelt words about the couple. When it came time to dance, the energy was high and everyone had a blast. The celebration ended with a magical bubble send-off, a perfect ending to a...
We had an awesome time photographing AJ for his senior photos! AJ is a wide receiver for Shawnee Heights and such a great guy — super friendly with a smile that made our job easy. He brought along his best friend Aiden, the quarterback, and the two of them made the whole session a blast. You could tell they’ve been through a lot together on and off the field. Time flew by and before we knew it, we were done! We started at the Kansas Museum, then headed to Shawnee Lake, and finished up at the Shawnee Heights football field. The weather was perfect, and AJ’s whole family was there to cheer him on. It was one of those sessions that just felt special — full of laughs, great energy, and memories we’re sure AJ and his family will hold onto for a long time. T.H.

I had a great time photographing Aiden, a senior at Shawnee Heights and the quarterback for the football team. We started the session at the Kansas Museum, then made our way to Shawnee Lake, and finished up at the football field. Each location gave us something different, and we captured so many awesome images of Aiden along the way. Aiden is tall, handsome, and has a great smile. He’s easygoing and has a really fun, laid-back personality. It made the whole session relaxed and enjoyable. His love for football really came through, especially in the shots at the field. We were also able to get some fun photos with his friend and teammate AJ (though those aren’t included here). They had a great time together and were a blast to photograph. The weather was perfect, and Aiden’s family came along for the session—it really felt like a celebration. I’m so happy with how the images turned out. I think they show off Aiden’s personality and passion for the game in a way he’ll always remember. ...
I had such a great time photographing Taylor, a senior from Silver Lake High School. She plays softball and had an incredible season, even making it to state where her team took 2nd place! Taylor is full of personality—funny, outgoing, and just a joy to be around. Her family came along for the session, and you could feel how close and supportive they are. It made the whole experience even better. We started the session at Echo Cliff, which was absolutely beautiful. Then we made our way to downtown Dover for some fun shots, and we ended the evening at the Silver Lake ball fields to capture her love for the game. The sunset light was perfect, and the whole session felt relaxed and special. Taylor is an amazing young lady, and I loved getting to celebrate this big milestone with her. T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Taylor: I plan to go to college, play softball, and major in Graphics. T.H. P.: Classes you are looking forward to your senior year? Taylor: I’m mos...
I had a great time photographing Paxton, a senior at Silver Lake High School. We took most of his photos on the football field and in the weight room—two places that really show who he is. Paxton is not only a football player but also a dedicated powerlifter. He throws up some seriously impressive numbers, and it was awesome to capture that strength and focus on camera. Paxton brought his mom and girlfriend along for the session, and we got some great images with both of them. You can tell he’s got a strong support system, and that always makes a difference. He’s got a great smile, an easygoing personality, and he’s clearly smart and driven. I have no doubt he’ll do big things in the future! T.H. Peterson: Dream job? Paxton: A financial advisor T.H. P.: Song you listen to every time you workout? Paxton: Animal I Have Become T.H. P.: What fitness goals do you have? Paxton: To squat 500 pounds T.H. P.: Something you liked about your session with ...
I’ve known Ciara since she was just three years old and have had the joy of photographing her over the years. Watching her grow into the beautiful, confident, and smiley young lady she is today has been amazing. She’s now a proud member of the Class of 2026 at Seaman High School, where she cheers with so much spirit and energy. Her personality is truly perfect for photos—so full of life and joy. For her session, we spent time downtown and then headed to Seaman High for some shots that showed off her school pride. As we wrapped things up, the skies turned dark and dramatic, and we could tell a storm was on the way. Later that night it poured, but the risk was worth it. The moody sky added such a cool, bold vibe to her final images. I’m so thankful I got to capture this big milestone for Ciara! T.H. Peterson: What’s your go-to hype song before a big performance or game? Ciara: Highway to Hell- ACDC. T.H. P.: What would your dream job be? Ciara: Air Refueling W ing with the Air National ...
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 ...
Briar’s senior session at the Kansas History Museum was such a joy to photograph! Even though we shot in the middle of the day, the light was absolutely amazing, and it lit up her great smile in every photo. Briar was so much fun to be around—her personality made the session fly by, and she brought such a relaxed, happy energy to the shoot. From the first photo to the last, Briar was all smiles and full of life. Her laughter was contagious, and she made every spot at the museum look like it was made just for her. I loved getting to capture this special season of her life! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Briar: I’m going to Washburn for nursing school! T.H. P.: Classes you're looking forward to next year? Briar: Weights and Peer Tutor T.H. P.: What kind of student are you? Briar: The kind that’s ready to be out of school. T.H. P.: First thing you do when you get home from school? Briar: See my puppies then lay in bed T.H. P.: Something you liked abou...
Ki-Bo’s senior session at Ted Ensley Gardens was one of my favorites this year. We got up early to catch the sunrise over the lake, and even though rain made us postpone the first try, it was worth the wait. The sky was full of dramatic clouds that made the morning light extra beautiful. Ki-Bo was absolutely stunning and so natural in front of the camera. Her smile and sweet giggle made every photo feel full of life. We explored the whole garden, finding so many great spots and angles to work with. From the lake views to the flowers and trees, every background seemed to match her calm and joyful spirit. Ki-Bo made my job easy, and I’m so happy with how her photos turned out. I know these images will be such a special part of her senior year! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Ki-Bo: I would like to start off at Haskell and then move to Washburn for Physical or Occupational Therapy. T.H. P.: Earliest and fondest memories playing basketball? Ki-Bo: My earliest ...
