Interview with Myles Krahe - Seaman High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Myles's senior session was an absolute blast! We started at his home with his four young calves, and they were about as adorable as they could be. From there, we headed out to a field where we captured some portraits with his truck and an American flag. There was something really iconic about that setting, and it made for some beautiful images. We finished up along the Kansas River just as the sun was setting, and I honestly couldn't believe how beautiful the light was reflecting off the water. It was the perfect place to wrap up the evening and showcase Myles's passion for baseball. Myles  is an awesome young man with a great personality, a fantastic smile, and he's just naturally photogenic. We had so much fun throughout the session, and it seemed like the time just flew by. I'll admit, earlier in the day I was a little concerned about the weather forecast and wasn't sure what we were going to end up with. But it turned out to be absolutely perfect! Great weat...

Brynn and Justin's amazing day - Divine Vineyard & Venue - St George, Kansas

Brynn and Justin’s wedding in St. George, Kansas, just outside of Manhattan in the beautiful Flint Hills, was absolutely incredible. Driving up to Divine Vineyard & Venue, I was already excited, but when I arrived, I was blown away by how beautiful everything was. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and the entire venue was gorgeous from every angle. It was the kind of day you couldn't have planned any better. And then there was Brynn, who looked absolutely beautiful, and Justin and Brynn together were just so happy. You could tell how much they love each other, and seeing them enjoy every moment of their special day was something I won't soon forget. What really made this wedding stand out, though, was the love that filled the entire day. Their family and friends were so supportive, and you could tell everyone was genuinely happy to be there celebrating Brynn and Justin. There were happy tears, lots of laughter, hugs, incredible food, and so many special moments....

Interview with Lilli Ellerman - Seaman High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Lilli is one of those people who just makes you happy to be around her. The first thing I noticed about her was her smile, and from that moment on, her energy and happiness were contagious. She is such a beautiful young lady, inside and out, and photographing her was an absolute blast. There wasn't a single part of her session that I wasn't enjoying. She has a natural way of coming to life in front of the camera, knows her angles, and with just a little guidance, she absolutely shines. You can tell she's passionate about the things she does, and I have no doubt that energy and drive are going to take her far in life. I feel so honored that I had the chance to meet her and photograph her senior portraits! We started her session at the Capitol, then headed to a spot with overgrown grass that was absolutely perfect as the sun started to set. We finished at Shawnee Lake, where the sun on the water gave us one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever had the chance to photogr...

Interview with Sam Wainwright - Mission Valley Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Sam’s senior session was a blast! We started at Cedar Lawn Farms and then headed over to the shop where he works. From there, we got out into the hayfield with tractors and equipment, which was perfect for him. Sam is studying diesel technology this year, and it’s pretty obvious that he loves what he does. He’s got a real passion for big machinery, and we had a great time working that into his senior pictures. One thing I noticed right away about Sam was how funny he is. His quick wit and smart responses kept me on my toes, and that doesn’t happen very often! He said his friends describe him as funny, and I can absolutely see why. He even said he enjoyed the comedy during his session, which makes sense because we were throwing just as many jokes at him as he was at us. Honestly, he has the kind of humor you’d expect from someone who’s been around a lot longer, with just enough sarcasm to keep things interesting. Sam is a smart kid, a hard worker, and someone I really enjoyed getting to...
