T.H. Peterson Photography

I had the best time photographing Tristan for his senior portraits. We started at Ward-Meade Park, where we had this incredible variety of backgrounds. The sun was shining, giving us a warm, golden glow. Then, we headed over to the NOTO district, and it was just bursting with color. Every corner was vibrant, and Tristan really lit up, especially when we brought his tuba into the shots. I’ve been photographing him since he was little, so it was really special to see him grow into this moment. I could tell he was having a blast, and so was I. I really could see his personality come through, and it was such a nice session and I really love how these turned out! T.H. P.: What classes do you like most? Tristan: Classes I have with people I can talk to. T.H. P.: What will you miss about high school? Tristan: I will miss not being able to see my friends on a schedule. T.H. P.: Plans after high school? Tristan: Attend college for music education. T.H. P.: What do you like about playing ...

Senior sessions like Sadie's are the ones that really get my creative side going. She has such a unique style, and from the moment she showed me examples of the kinds of photos she loved, I knew this wasn't going to be a typical senior session. She was drawn to dramatic, cinematic, and darker images, and I couldn't wait to bring those ideas to life. Of course, we made sure to capture the classic smiling portraits everyone loves, but some of my favorite images from her session were the ones where we pushed ourselves creatively with dramatic lighting, movement, interesting posing, and a little bit of artistic storytelling. Those are the sessions that remind me why I love what I do. We photographed Sadie and her brother Tristan together, taking turns throughout the evening, but their sessions ended up having completely different personalities. We started at Ward-Meade Park before heading to NOTO, which felt like the perfect place for someone as artistic as Sadie. The colorful ...

Pancho's senior session at Truckhenge was so much fun. From the moment we started, he was smiling, talking, and just enjoying the experience. He has a really friendly, outgoing personality that made photographing him easy. We took advantage of the colorful graffiti-covered trucks and cars, added a few smoke bombs, and even got some really unique angles. Everything came together to create a session that was full of color and personality. One of the funny things about this session is that I didn't realize just how amazing it was until I started editing the photos. It was one of those easy, low-key sessions that seemed to fly by, and before we knew it, we were done. Once I got the images on the computer, I couldn't stop smiling. They turned out even better than I expected, and it quickly became one of my favorite senior sessions we've done in a long time. Hanging out with Pancho was a blast, and I couldn't be happier with the final results. T.H. P.: What is your dream...
