Interview with Zariah Walker - Highland Park High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Zariah from Highland Park High School was awesome to photograph! She came with some really great ideas, and we had a lot of fun getting creative with her session. We started at the studio in the mall, where we were able to capture some really unique images that showed off her personality and style. Zariah has an incredible smile, and she made my job pretty easy because she simply could not take a bad photo! We finished up at Kaw River Park, and the sunset could not have been better. The sun was glowing across the water and gave us the most beautiful light to finish her session. Every angle, every expression, every photo seemed to work perfectly. She rocked her senior session, and we ended up with some incredible images! T.H. Peterson:   Plans after high school Zariah: Going to college and major in law T.H.

Interview with Jared Heuertz - Oskaloosa High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Jared was such a fun senior to photograph! We actually photographed him during a couple of different sessions, and each one gave us something completely different. We started early one morning at Crooked Post Winery where he works. There we were treated to a beautiful sunrise and some awesome weather. The vineyard made the perfect backdrop for his session, and from there we headed to the lake and then to his house, finding awesome locations and opportunities for photos everywhere we went. We finished up with some pictures with his dogs; the perfect way to end the morning! For his second session, we headed to his high school to capture some of the things that are a huge part of Jared's life: football and baseball. Jared puts a ton of time and energy into his athletics, so getting those photos around his school and on the field was really important. More than anything, Jared is just one of the nicest seniors I've ever had the opportunity to photograph. He's silly, happy, ful...

Interview with Lorren Wiscombe - SFT Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Lorren’s senior session was such a fun one! We started the morning at the sunflower fields at Shively Farms, and we could not have asked for a better morning. The sun was coming up, the light was beautiful, and best of all, we had the entire place to ourselves. We were able to capture some absolutely gorgeous sunrise images surrounded by the sunflowers. Lorren is so photogenic, and she made my job easy with her beautiful smile, natural expressions, and willingness to try whatever poses we wanted. After the sunflower fields, we headed to Shawnee Lake and then downtown for even more variety. Lorren brought 2 outfits that looked fantastic on her, and each one gave us a different look. She's super friendly and a natural in front of the camera; a great model. When she came back to see her images, they were so happy with the photos, and that is always one of my favorite parts of a senior session. All in all, it was just a great morning and a fantastic senior session with Lorren! T.H. Pet...

Interview with Addy Crouch - Shawnee Heights Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had so much fun photographing Addy for her senior portraits! We started at Shawnee Heights High School with some cheer photos, and she absolutely crushed them. She nailed every jump and pose, which was honestly impressive because we usually have to repeat a few of those shots to get just the right one. Mom mentioned that Addy also dances, and that definitely made sense once we started taking photos. She was so natural in front of the camera and had the sweetest smiles and expressions from the very beginning. After SHHS, we headed over to Iliff Commons for the rest of her session. As we spent more time together, we got to see more of Addy's personality come out. She's a funny girl, made us smile. Her mom and dad joined us for some of the photos, and of course, we had to include her dog too. Really adorable pup! We loved getting to capture all of the smiles, laughs, and little moments that made her session so much fun.   T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? ...
