T.H. Peterson Photography

Sweet little Wyatt was in the studio for his newborn session, and what a joy he was to photograph. Mom told me he weighed over nine pounds at birth, and he was definitely a chunk! He had the cutest blonde hair and even gave us several little smiles and smirks during the session. He was such a sweet baby, and we were able to create some really precious images that I know his family will treasure for years to come. One thing that made this session especially meaningful for me was seeing Wyatt's dad as a father. More than 10 years ago, I photographed his senior pictures, and now here he is holding his newborn son. Life has a way of moving fast. Wyatt is also the very first grandbaby on both sides of the family, so you know he's going to be absolutely spoiled with love. It was such an honor to capture these memories for them, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with Wyatt's name?

Rico's senior session was such a fun one from start to finish. He is a good-looking young man with a great smile, an easygoing personality, and a laid-back attitude that made him a pleasure to photograph. We started downtown before heading to Shawnee Lake and Bettis Family Sports Complex, where we captured some photos that reflected his love of soccer. From there, we found a beautiful spot with tall grass and a country feel, and we wrapped up the evening by the water at Shawnee Lake. The variety of locations gave us so many different looks, and Rico looked great in every one of them. One of the things that stood out most during the session was how respectful Rico was and how close he is with his family. His mom joined us for the session, and it was easy to see the great connection they share. We spent the evening laughing, talking, and creating memories while capturing this exciting time in his life. At the end of the session, his mom told us how much she enjoyed the experience and...

Jon and Chelsea made the trip home from Texas for a visit, and while they were here, we were able to create these engagement photos on the property where Chelsea grew up. Her family farm near Burlingame was the perfect location for their session. Everywhere you looked there was something full of character, from the antique buildings and rustic details to the beautiful old Chevy truck parked nearby. Even though we photographed these in the middle of the afternoon, the skies were gorgeous and everything came together perfectly. What I loved most about this session was how easy it was to photograph these two together. Jon and Chelsea have such a natural connection, and you could see how much they enjoy being around each other. Their chemistry made every photo feel effortless and genuine. Sessions like this are a reminder of why I love being a photographer. Spending time with great people in a meaningful place and capturing memories that will last a lifetime is what it's all about.
