 This afternoon was absolutely perfect. We stepped outside to the most beautiful and gorgeous weather. So of course we were totally thrilled about our session with Bronx and Adrionna. The cutest little cowboy and cowgirl ever! There were so many we loved but here are a few of our favorites!







I honestly think this very last one is one of my favorite shots we've ever taken. It's simple but it's beautiful and I think it kind of shows what our little town looks like. I love it!

Alex and Isaac's amazing special day at Rocking V Ranch - Wakarusa KS - Kansas Wedding

Image
I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Alex and Isaac’s wedding at Rocking V Ranch in Wakarusa, Kansas—and what a perfect day it was! The whole vibe was so laid back. Everyone was happy, relaxed, and just genuinely excited to celebrate. It was one of those weddings where the joy was contagious. Alex and Isaac’s connection was beautiful to witness. You could feel their love in every moment. And the support they had from friends and family? Incredible. So much warmth and encouragement surrounded them all day. Some of my favorite moments were the “first looks” Alex shared—with her bridesmaids, her family, her dad, and of course, with Isaac. Each one was so emotional and special in its own way. The ceremony took place out on the porch of the venue, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Afterward, there were lots of hugs, laughter, and heartfelt congratulations all around. And the reception? Amazing. The food was mouthwatering BBQ, the toasts were full of love and emotion (yes, plenty of te...

Warren's newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Meet Warren, the sweetest little guy with the most relaxed personality. At almost a month old, he was happy, content, and an absolute dream to photograph. We captured some beautiful moments of him, both on his own and with his adoring parents, who couldn’t stop gushing over their precious boy. To make the session even more special, Mom and Dad brought along some adorable penguin props—Warren’s little theme! It was the perfect personal touch, and we loved incorporating it into his photos. This session was full of love, snuggles, and the kind of sweetness that makes newborn photography so special. Welcome to the world, baby Warren! T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with Warren's name?

Ava was absolutely beautiful for her senior portrait session! We had an amazing time capturing her both in the studio and outdoors, and every shot turned out stunning.

Image
I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful senior named Jahara from Topeka High. We started her session in downtown Topeka and then headed to Ward Meade Park, which gave us the perfect mix of urban and natural backgrounds. Jahara looked stunning with her amazing makeup and radiant smile—she truly didn’t take a single bad photo! We had so much fun with her, laughing and chatting the whole time. Her outfits were just perfect, especially her letterman jacket and the simple black top with jeans that gave her session a laid-back, stylish vibe. Before we knew it, the session was over. It was such a joy spending time with Jahara, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! T.H. Peterson: Plans after high school?

Image
Meet Riggs — a beautiful newborn we had the joy of photographing in our studio. He was so calm and relaxed the whole time, a truly chill baby and a dream to work with! Riggs gave us a few sweet little smiles, and we were lucky to catch them on camera. He’s already a great model! Mom and Dad were full of love and so happy to be with their baby boy. It was heartwarming to see how much they adore him. We loved having this sweet family in the studio. Riggs, you are so loved already. Welcome to the world! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Riggs? Brilee: Our oldest was born at 32 weeks and Riggs was born at 36 weeks, so the first thought I had was, “He’s SO big!.” Riggs was born at 5lbs 13oz so he was definitely not considered big, but to me, he was huge! T.H. P.: How did you come up with his name? Brilee: My husband and I tossed around several names and finally decided on Riggs. I really wanted to name him after my late grandfather in some way.

Krista's Maternity Session - Beautiful Milestone session - Topeka's Best Newborn and Maternity Photographers

Image
This milestone session with Krista was such a joy to photograph. From the moment she walked in, her smile lit up the room— beautiful and full of warmth. We began the session in our studio. Krista looked radiant, glowing with happiness and love. Her joy was contagious, and it really came through in the photos. Then we headed to the lake just a short drive from the studio. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over everything. The colors were vibrant, the water was calm, and it felt like the whole scene was made just for them. Krista did some photos alone, cradling her baby bump with so much love. Then she was joined by her hubby, and you could see the deep connection and excitement they share. It was beautiful to witness and capture. This session was extra special because they’re preparing to welcome their fourth child. What a blessing it is to grow as a family. I’m so grateful to have been a small part of this moment in their lives....

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 ...

Malone Family - Front Porch Sessions - Topeka's Family Photographers

Image
  We had the privilege of meeting the Malone family at their house to do some front porch pictures . We were greeted by Katie, Caleb, Maddox, and Reese.  They are such a great family!  This was a special session for them since they are building a new house, and will soon move from their current home.  They wanted to get some pictures so they could remember their first home together, and we were so happy they chose us to photograph them!  We loved the front porch pictures with their dog, Rocky!  And we really loved the street pictures!  Katie told us how our next session that day was her sister, so we had an idea to take pictures of each family and photoshop them together!  We all cracked up at the end of each session as the Hooper family posed!  What a cool idea!  We hope you get a kick out of this unique session!

Interview with Haley Custenborder - Topeka High Class of 2025 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
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. We started at the Topeka Zoo, where she had a really special moment with the giraffes. Haley is passionate about giraffes, and she even got to feed them, which made for some amazing and unique photos. You could tell how much she loves them, and it was awesome to capture that connection on camera. After the zoo, we headed to the golf course for some more photos. Golf is another big part of Haley's life, and it’s something she’s been doing for a long time. She’s really good at it too! The photos at the course were so cool because they showed a different side of her personality. It was a perfect way to wrap up the session, blending her love for animals and her passion for sports. Haley was such a joy to work with, and I’m so excited for her to see how the photos turned out! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans aft...
