Interview with Grace Miller - Seaman High Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Grace’s session was such a blast! She is such a beautiful girl with so much personality, and her funny expressions kept me smiling the whole time. I told her she really should be in theater because she knows how to light up the camera with all the different faces she makes. I photographed her last month in the sunflower fields, and I knew then how fun she would be to work with again. This session was no different—it was just perfect. She’s so photogenic, and we ended up with so many amazing images. Out of all her outfits, the dress she wore was my favorite. It had this timeless, vintage vibe that made her look like she stepped right out of the past. Between her bright, beautiful smile and her strong, serious expressions, she gave us such a great mix of looks. We’re so excited to share just a few of our favorites from her session! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Grace: I don’t have any set plans for after high school. I would like to go to college, but I don’t ...

Interview with Hannah Olson - Washburn Rural Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Hannah’s senior session was such a joy to photograph! We started out at a farm where she could be in her element with her horse. You could instantly tell how much riding means to her—it’s a huge part of her life, and it showed in the way she lit up around her horse. She has such a natural presence in front of the camera, and her beautiful smile made every photo shine. From there, we headed out into the country just in time for golden hour. The light was perfect, warm and glowing, and it created such a beautiful backdrop for her photos. We ended the session at Kaw River Park, where Hannah not only posed by the water in the setting sun but also got right in. Not many seniors are willing to do that, but she was all for it, and the images turned out phenomenal. With her parents there cheering her on, it made the evening even more special. I couldn’t be happier with how her pictures turned out—they truly captured her personality and passion. T.H. Peterson: What are your favorite classes t...

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 ...

Interview with Cash - Shawnee Heights Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Cash’s senior session was such a fun one! We started downtown and captured some great shots with the city vibe, then wrapped things up in a beautiful country setting near the Governor’s Mansion. The evening light was perfect, and it really brought out the warm, natural feel of the photos. Cash is incredibly photogenic, which made my job easy, and every shot seemed to come together effortlessly. I’ve had the privilege of photographing Cash and his family for several years, so it was really special to see him again for such an important milestone. I was impressed with his athleticism and could tell he’s been putting in a lot of hard work at the gym. Through all his accomplishments, he’s still the same friendly and respectful young man I’ve always known. I truly enjoyed spending time with him and his family, and I’m excited to share some of my favorite images from his session. T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school?

We had such a great time photographing Parker around downtown Topeka, Washburn Rural, and the Kansas Governor’s Mansion.

Parker is super photogenic and gave us plenty of nice smiles, making it easy to capture his personality on camera.

Interview with Carter Ramirez-Jennings - Topeka High Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Carter was such a pleasure to photograph! From the moment we met, I could tell he’s a young man who’s going to do great things—smart, easygoing, and full of personality. He goes to Topeka High, plays on the drumline, and also enjoys soccer. During his session, we highlighted his drumming skills—he mentioned that snare is his favorite—and I know he’s having a blast right now with football season in full swing. We started in front of Topeka High, which made for some really fun shots, then headed to Shawnee Lake with a classic car that added some extra style to his photos. We wrapped up downtown with an incredible sunset that gave us some truly amazing images. All in all, it was a fantastic session, and I know his family is proud of him and excited to see all the great things Carter will do in the years ahead! T.H.

Interview with Brody Haas - Washburn Rural Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Brody’s senior session was such a great time. We started downtown Topeka at sunset, and right away he had the best smile. He’s got such a friendly look that makes him easy to be around, and we laughed a lot as we went. The light that evening was perfect, and it felt like everything lined up for his pictures to turn out amazing. After downtown, we went over to Kaw River Park and got some shots by the water. The sun was shining through just right, and those ended up being some of my favorite photos. Brody was so easy to work with, and his pictures are some of the best senior photos I’ve taken this year.

Interview with Xada Spade - Osage City High Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had such a fun time photographing Xada’s senior session. We started in the studio where she was so natural and photogenic, making it easy to capture some great portraits. From there, we headed out to Osage County Fishing Lake, and it was the perfect spot. Even though it’s the end of summer moving into fall, we still got those warm summer vibes in her photos. The skies, the water, and the fields all came together beautifully, and Xada made it even better with her awesome smile and easygoing personality. To finish off the session, we went to Carbondale and shot around the old downtown buildings. It added a nice variety to her gallery and gave us a different look to balance the lake photos. Xada was great to work with—fun, relaxed, and full of good energy. I really like how her photos turned out and think they show her personality perfectly. T.H. Peterson: What is your favorite class this year? Xada: Yearbook T.H. P.:   Plans after high school? Xada:   Get my LPN/...

Abbi and Freddy's Engagement session - Beautiful country engagement session - Topeka's Best Wedding Photographer

Image
Freddy and Abbi’s engagement session was such a joy to photograph! We spent the evening on a gorgeous property that couldn’t have been a better fit for them—tall grass swaying in the breeze, golden sunlight dipping low on the horizon, and even a few hay bales that made the whole scene feel warm and timeless. These two are so fun and light-hearted together; you can see their chemistry in every laugh, every smile, and every playful glance. One of my favorite parts was when they climbed up on an old classic truck—it added the perfect touch of rustic charm and felt so true to their personalities. What really stood out, though, was how much of their story we were able to capture. Freddy and Abbi are high school sweethearts, so we pulled a pair of desks out into the field as a nod to where it all began. It was such a unique idea and made for photos that are both meaningful and playful at the same time. Watching them laugh and tease each other in that setting, it was clear we were capturing n...
