Melissa and Robert from Melissa Donaldson Photography - Chandler, AZ

 Recently on our trip to Arizona, Holly and I had a great time meeting a fellow photographer that we met online. Melissa of Melissa Donaldson Photography and her husband Robert met us one afternoon and we had a great opportunity to hang out and talk shop. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the opportunity to just hang out with another husband and wife photography team. They couldn't be nicer and I hope we get to hang out with them again one day!
 We had an awesome time in Arizona. I had the radio on and the deejay said that the weather there makes people all over the country jealous. It was literally 72 degrees. So amazing. A really great place that I look forward to visiting again and again!

Here's a segment from Melissa's facebook telling you a little more about her:

"Arizona is where I have grown up, I moved here when I was five and consider myself a native. After living here for 30 years I am still not used to the heat, but love the Arizona sunsets, and adore the desert and mountains. I am the mother of 3 brilliant children whom I adore, and am married to an incredible man, who encourages me to follow my dreams each and everyday. I am blessed with an abundance of love, and love is all that matters.

Photography is my passion and burns deep within my heart and soul. You know that excited butterfly feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you fall in love? That is how I feel about the relationship I have with my camera. (and also my family) When I am not behind my lens photographing people or fine art and landscape, I am day dreaming about what I am going to photograph next. I literally lay in bed at night dreaming about what adventure awaits me, how I am going to take a photo of it, and exactly how I plan on editing that photo. I am a learner and each day I learn something new about my passion, and it makes me yearn to photograph more and become better at what I do. I am also a student. I currently attend Academy of the Art University in pursuit of my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography.

My goal as your photographer is to not just take a photo, but to truly capture the emotion behind it, and give you a lifetime of memories. Specializing in family, newborns, maternity, weddings, senior portraits, commercial, as well as fine art and landscape."

I had the pleasure of photographing Zach, a senior from Lebo, Kansas, Class of 2025. We split his session into two parts to capture everything that makes him unique. The first session was all about his sports and some fun shots downtown. For the second, we headed to a gorgeous country property just outside of Lebo, and it couldn’t have been a better setting. The fall colors during the second session were absolutely stunning, making every photo feel warm and vibrant. Spending time with Zach and his family was such a treat—they were so kind and easy to work with. Zach’s smile lit up every shot, so photogenic! Here are a few of my favorite photos from his session!

How to Prepare for a Photo Session - Topeka's Best Family Portrait Photographers

Image
Select outfits that will make for a timeless portrait. Choose practical clothing items, and keep the location and time of year in mind.  Select clothing items and accessories that are not too distracting or that you will have to adjust often during the session (think long necklaces or ruffled tops on a windy day).  Keep in mind the weather, wind speed, and humidity/chance of rain.  If you have littles, bring them some snacks to help give them incentives during the session.  This can help us to get kids to cooperate and make or break a session.  If it is windy, wear your hair up.  Trimming your bangs/hair slightly to keep them out of your eyes is a great idea, too! Use product like mousse, gel, pomade, and hairspray to tame your mane!    Pick shoes that will be easy to walk in at the location of the session.  For example, high heels are not recommended for sunflower shoots, but would look great in an urban/downtown ...

Image
Lauryn is one of the coolest seniors I’ve ever met. From the moment we started her session, I could tell she was completely herself—funny, creative, and so much fun to be around. We started downtown in Topeka, and she even brought a Funko Pop of herself, which made for some awesome and unique pictures. I wanted to make sure I captured her personality because she’s so colorful and full of life, and I think we nailed it! We also took pictures at the Cyrus Hotel, where she totally rocked the modern and classy vibe. After that, we ended at the Capitol, and the photos there turned out absolutely beautiful. Each spot showed a different side of her personality, and I love how it all came together. Check out some of my favorite shots from her session—they’re amazing! T.H. Peterson: What classes are you enjoying most this year?  Lauryn: I really enjoy graphic design and jewelry because there’s a lot more time to work on projects by myself while probably watching Wallace and Gromit.

Last week, I had the chance to photograph Haley, and it was such a fun experience! Haley is super cute and has a great personality that made the session so easy and enjoyable.

Camille’s first birthday cake smash was such a joy to photograph! We kicked off the session with some Christmas-themed photos, and she was all smiles, showing off so much personality. Camille was an absolute natural in front of the camera – she just lit up the room. Her expressions were priceless, and she made every shot a keeper! Once we moved on to the cake smash, things got even more fun! Camille went right for the cake with a curious look and then big, happy giggles as she dug in.
