Lainey's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
This was a very special session. Miss Lainey is so tiny and beautiful and her mommy and daddy are absolutely in love! She is so sweet. Mom and dad had a few ideas, including posing her with dad's BDUs from when he was in the Army. Those were really special. Here are a few of our favorites from the session! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Lainey? Aubrey: How perfect and beautiful she was. That she is the final piece to our family.  T.H. P.: How did you come up with her name? Aubrey: We decided we wanted a Name that started L. Lainey’s dad would give lists of L names to me and I was never set on any of them. We almost decided to go with something different than L. I asked Chris his opinion of Lainey and he told me that he thought of that name recently but was done with getting turned down on all the lists of names he had came up with. That’s how we came up with Lainey. Jean is Lainey’s middle name and she gets that from her Mami (grandma) on her mother’s side....

Mr Braxton is on the blog! Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Introducing sweet baby Braxton! This little guy was such a joy to photograph. With his perfect little face and adorable hair, he was a dream baby. It took him a minute to settle in, but once he did, we captured the most beautiful images of him that truly melted my heart. Braxton’s mom, dad, and big sister are absolutely smitten with him, and it’s easy to see why. During the session, we made sure to include many of the ideas mom and dad brought along, making the photos even more special for their family. It was such a wonderful session, and I’m so honored to have been a part of capturing these early moments for their sweet boy. T.H. Peterson: What was your pregnancy like? Did you have any food cravings or any food aversion? Katie: The first trimester was rough, morning sickness really kicked my butt - other than that my pregnancy was fairly smooth. I craved anything salty and ice cream was my weakness!    T.H. P.: What does big sis think? Katie: Big Sis absolutely adores her li...

His mom was completely head over heels for him, and it was easy to see why. We set up a variety of different scenes to capture his cuteness, and he looked precious in every single one. From soft, cozy blankets to playful props, Forrest’s personality shined through in every photo. It was such a fun session, and I loved seeing the bond between Forrest and his mom. Moments like these are what make photography so special! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw your baby? Katie: Wow! I can't believe he's here, it feels unreal. T.H.

Interview with Robert - Royal Valley Class of 2025 - Topeka's Best Senior Photos

Image
I had the pleasure of photographing Robert, a high school senior from Royal Valley High. Robert is not just your average senior—he’s a football player with an amazing smile and one of the friendliest personalities you could ever meet. We couldn’t have asked for a better day for his session. The weather was perfect, and the sunlight gave everything a warm, golden glow. We started at Ward Meade Park, which is one of my favorite spots. The mix of colorful fall leaves and historic charm gave us some incredible backdrops. Robert was a natural in front of the camera, and his cheerful personality made it easy to capture some great shots. Afterward, we headed out to the countryside near the Governor's Mansion and the Kansas River. The scenery was stunning, especially as the sun began to set. The golden hour light mixed with the vibrant fall colors was absolutely magical. It felt like the perfect way to celebrate the last bits of autumn before the leaves are gone for the season.
