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

T.H. Peterson: How did you find out you were pregnant?

Amethyst: It was a surprise, I have 2 other children and I had a feeling but

was in denial until I took a test. 

T.H. P.: Were there any foods you craved or were grossed out by when you were pregnant?

Amethyst: I craved jalapenos and onion rings but I could not stand anything with red sauce, like spaghetti,  pizza or anything. 

T.H. P.: What was your labor like?

Amethyst: I was induced, got an epidural, and it went pretty smoothly. I was lucky my fiance was able to return home for a week from his rotation. Then we got married a few days after. 

T.H. P.: How did you come up with Onyx's name?

Amethyst: My husband chose his name based off me and my first daughter. We both have stone names and his is a black stone as well.

T.H. P.: What is something you enjoyed about your session with us?Amethyst: I loved how long the session was. We were able to relax and take our time in a cozy environment. The photographer was very friendly and helpful and did well with my kids.

Janie and Jovie - Newborn session with Twins! Interview with Mom - Topeka's Newborn Photographers

Image
Now this was a special session! It's not often we photograph multiples for newborn sessions but these little girls were just perfect and despite them being born several months ago, because they were so premature they photographed just like brand new newborns! They were perfect! What a wonderful session and what a special story mom has to tell! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you found out you were having twins? Taylor.: I was shocked and did not know anything about twins before being pregnant with them. I later found out identical twins are a fluke and do not run in families. It’s been been a learning experience for sure but I would not trade it for the world. T.H. P.: What did you think when you first saw them? Taylor.: Due to complication of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, I had the girls via c-section at 29 weeks. My first glance  was brief before they were whisked away to the NICU. I remember thinking how small they were (Janie-3.6 lbs & Jovie-2.1 lbs) and how fe

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.

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

What a beautiful baby boy and it was great to have his whole family right there with him as we did this session. These are some of our favorites! Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Diego? Destrie: I thought he was so cute and was also in total shock because I just had another baby! T.H. P.: How did you come up with his name? Destrie: I have always loved the name Diego, and so I knew when I had a second boy he would have that name. T.H. P.: What does big bro think? Destrie: His brother is in total awe of him. Always checking on him and making sure to say “what mister” anytime he cries.  T.H. P.: What is something you liked about your session with us? Destrie: Took the time to let him calm down and then got right back into it as soon as he was ready! T.H. P.: Who does he look like? Destrie: Everyone says he looks like his dad, and I’d have to agree! To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonpho
