Mia Martinez - Topeka High - Class of 2020 - Raising Cane's - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

We met up with Mia and her mom at Mia’s favorite hangout spot in Lawrence, Raising Cane’s!  She wanted to get a few pictures in the restaurant, and even snacked on her favorite meal in a few pictures!  YUM!! She had on the cutest outfit, and such a sweet smile!! We headed to Gage Park and Mia picked the BEST outfit for her shoot ever, and we had her spinning around in her long dress on a park bench!  She has the most beautiful eyes, and her gorgeous skin and hair made photographing her so easy! She was so easygoing and ready to try any idea we came up with, including crawling into a fountain! Her willingness to get creative gave us some STUNNING shots of her in the rose garden!  You could see how happy mom was that we chose to finish her session at the park, because Mia got some really awesome images in the flowers, and around the pond! We are totally digging her session, and so will you! What a beautiful girl!
