Interview with Cade Danielson - Washburn Rural Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
One of the first things that stood out to me about Cade was just how easy he was to be around. He has a great personality, an awesome smile, and he was one of those seniors who was comfortable in front of the camera from the start. He's a football player at Washburn Rural High School, and I don't think we ever had a hard time getting natural expressions from him. He was always smiling and laughing, which made my job pretty easy. We started his session out at the ball field, which was the perfect place to capture that part of who he is. After that, we headed downtown and ended up with a completely different look. I always like mixing locations like that because it gives seniors a lot more variety, and Cade pulled off every look really well. One thing I couldn't help but notice was his bright red hair. At one point the sun was shining through it from behind, and I joked that it looked like it was on fire. Later, when I read through his questionnaire, he mentioned that his red...

Interview with Chloe Fox - Topeka West Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Chloe was so much fun to photograph. We started her senior session around TPAC and some of downtown Topeka before heading over to the Governor's Mansion. We wrapped everything up at Kaw River State Park where she actually got in the water  and those ended up being some of my fav photos from the day. Chloe is a dancer and plays clarinet in band  but more than anything she's just a genuinely nice, easygoing person. It honestly felt like the session was over almost as soon as it started. One thing I kept noticing throughout her session was her smile. Most seniors know how to smile for a camera, and Chloe definitely did, but every now and then she'd laugh at something we'd say or just have one of those real moments. Those are always my favorite because you just can't fake them. They ended up being some of my favorite images from her session. Chloe thanks for spending the evening with us. We had a great time getting to know you. Hope you love your photos as much as we do...

Interview with Jonah Tevis - Topeka West Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
There was a lot to like about Jonah's senior session. He's a very photogenic guy with a great personality, and we had a lot of fun exploring several different locations around Topeka. We started at the library, made our way to the Kansas State Capitol, and finished up with some great urban looks on Kansas Avenue. Since Jonah is a huge history fan, those locations were a perfect fit. We also made sure to include his trumpet, and those ended up being some of my favorite images from the entire session. As we talked throughout the evening, we discovered we both enjoyed movies and pop culture, and once that conversation got going, it really brought Jonah out of his shell. He already had a great personality, but it was fun to see him become even more comfortable in front of the camera. We wrapped up the evening at his grandma's house, which made the session even more meaningful. It's always special when seniors choose a location that has personal significance, and it gave us ...

Interview with Landon DeVader - St Mary's High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Landon's senior session took us to the countryside just south of Rossville near Willard, Kansas, (not far from his high school in St. Marys)  and it ended up being one of those evenings that photographers hope for. We had the most beautiful sunset, a quiet river,   dirt roads, and fields of tall overgrown grass. At first glance, it might not seem like a location with a lot of variety, but that's part of the fun. I love finding creative ways to make a simple location feel unique, and I think we did exactly that. Every stop gave us a different look, and by the end of the session it felt like we had photographed in several completely different places. Even better, everything fit Landon perfectly. He looked comfortable, confident, and in his element. Landon was such a fun senior to work with. He has an easy smile, a great personality, and was willing to trust the process, which always makes for an amazing session. It was also easy to see that he has a great relationship with ...
