Mexican Taco Shop - Delicious, Authentic, Amazing Mexican food Topeka, Kansas


 Food photography isn't something that I do often, certainly isn't our specialty but when I was hired to shoot Mexican Taco Shop's menu items, I was soooo excited and blown away by the opportunity because as many of those who know me, KNOW I am obsessed with this restaurant! It is so good and it reminds me of my mother's cooking. They are opening up a new location at the corner of 37th and Burlingame in Topeka. I can't wait to try out their new location! I felt the pressure to make their food look as amazing as it tastes! I think we did. I'm so excited with the results and I honestly felt super honored for the opportunity. If you haven't ever tried Mexican Taco Shop, GO!!!

Look at that sweet face! His name is Tommy, just like me! When I found out I was photographing a Tommy, I couldn't get over how funny and cute that was! And he is a doll!

Preston Lee, what a cutie! Mom was so proud of him and little sister just so enamoured with him. He is well loved. We had a great time with them and photographing Mr. Preston was just such a joy. He was a chill, content baby. So cooperative. These are some of our favorites along with an interview with mom. Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you found out you were pregnant? Kaitlynn: We were beyond excited to add to our family, came at a really exciting time in our lives, and actually found out on my daughter’s birthday! T.H. P.: How did you come up with the name Preston? Kaitlynn: The name Preston was an easy choice for us once we found out we were having a baby boy.

Senior year is an exciting time in a young person's life. It's a time when they are looking forward to graduation and the next chapter of their life. To commemorate this special time, many students opt for senior portraits. These portraits are a way to capture the beauty of youth and to celebrate the journey that has brought them to this point. Recently, we had the pleasure of photographing Cinai's senior portraits. It was an experience we will not forget anytime soon. We were excited to work with Cinai because he is extremely photogenic. He was also a great subject to work with, taking direction well and offering his own ideas. Our first attempt to photograph Cinai's senior portraits was foiled by the wind. Unfortunately, the wind made it impossible. We rescheduled and we were able to get an amazing session. We started downtown, where Cinai showcased his drumming skills. The downtown setting provided an excellent backdrop for Cinai's portraits. The mix of architect

Interview with Hannah Gustafson - Shawnee Heights Class of 2024 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Last week, we had the pleasure of shooting senior portraits for Hannah, a vibrant member of the class of 2024. We chose a beautiful rural country property with charming barns and old buildings as our backdrop, creating a picturesque setting for the photoshoot. And let me tell you, the sunset was absolutely amazing! It provided the perfect lighting to make Hannah shine even more. We couldn't have asked for better weather, although there was a brief moment of concern when it started sprinkling. But luckily, the weather cleared up quickly, giving us a stunning end to the session. It's those little unexpected moments that add a touch of excitement to the whole experience. To make the photoshoot even more personal, we decided to incorporate Hannah's dad's truck into some of the shots. It had a weathered look that added a nostalgic and authentic feel to the photos. Plus, it was a great way to showcase Hannah's involvement in the FFA, a testament to her dedication and pass

We're finally getting caught up on blogging from a lot of sessions we did last year and earlier this year. This session was Trey from Burlington. It was an awesome session. Trey is definitely a gifted athlete. He trains hard and it was awesome to showcase that. I asked him his powerlifting totals and it was almost at a thousand pounds. That's grown up levels lol! I was very impressed. Trey was very nice and easy to photograph! It was a beautiful fall afternoon. We took these at his school and then out in the country at a beautiful property that made the session end amazingly. The sun set and warm glow were the perfect way to wrap up his session. Here are some of our favorites!  To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonphoto.com
