Harper's Newborn session - Interview with Mom - Beautiful Newborn Session - Topeka Newborn Photographer


We welcomed Miss Harper and her family to the studio for her newborn session and she did awesome!  We were able to really get some great pictures of her, and she looked just like an angel in many of her poses.  I could tell Harper is so loved by her mom and dad, and they loved watching her session. We always enjoy when families come and partake in the session.  Thank you for checking out this little doll’s session and enjoy!!
T.H. Peterson:  How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant with Harper?   

Angie:  Excited to add another addition to our family and for Manny to become a dad.  He already is a step dad to my two other boys but he wanted to have a child of his own.

T.H.P:  How are you and your family adjusting to your new addition?Angie: We are adjusting well.  We have developed a routine so we get our rest and are able to attend all the older kids events as well.


T.H.P:   Did you have any unique experiences during your pregnancy or labor and delivery?
Angie:  I broke my leg at 5 weeks pregnant with Harper that required me to not be able to walk for 4 months.  After 4 months I had to relearn how to walk and move my ankle again. It was a miracle she survived after having to go through surgery at 5 weeks pregnant but she is a fighter.


T.H.P:   How did you choose the name Harper?
Angie:  My husband and two sons chose the name at dinner one night.  We wanted it to be a family decision and we all agreed on the name as soon as we heard it said with her middle and last name.



T.H. P: Describe her in one word:

Angie: Precious.

Mr Braxton is on the blog! Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Introducing sweet baby Braxton! This little guy was such a joy to photograph. With his perfect little face and adorable hair, he was a dream baby. It took him a minute to settle in, but once he did, we captured the most beautiful images of him that truly melted my heart. Braxton’s mom, dad, and big sister are absolutely smitten with him, and it’s easy to see why. During the session, we made sure to include many of the ideas mom and dad brought along, making the photos even more special for their family. It was such a wonderful session, and I’m so honored to have been a part of capturing these early moments for their sweet boy. T.H. Peterson: What was your pregnancy like? Did you have any food cravings or any food aversion? Katie: The first trimester was rough, morning sickness really kicked my butt - other than that my pregnancy was fairly smooth. I craved anything salty and ice cream was my weakness!    T.H. P.: What does big sis think? Katie: Big Sis absolutely adores her li...

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 ...

Forrest's newborn session - Interview with mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
I recently had the joy of photographing an adorable baby named Forrest. He was so sweet, and his expressions could melt anyone’s heart. His mom was completely head over heels for him, and it was easy to see why. We set up a variety of different scenes to capture his cuteness, and he looked precious in every single one. From soft, cozy blankets to playful props, Forrest’s personality shined through in every photo. It was such a fun session, and I loved seeing the bond between Forrest and his mom. Moments like these are what make photography so special! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw your baby? Katie: Wow! I can't believe he's here, it feels unreal. T.H. P.: Did you have any special cravings or food aversions when you were pregnant? Katie: Loved anything pickled, especially beets. And I could not get enough of strawberry crepes. T.H. P.: Describe his personality. Katie: He's a little sweatheart and is definitely mama's little guy and loves to be he...

This holiday season, I had the pleasure of photographing the Hight and Fenoglio family in our studio. With the whole family together for Christmas, it was the perfect opportunity to create beautiful portraits that will be treasured for years to come.

Lainey's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
This was a very special session. Miss Lainey is so tiny and beautiful and her mommy and daddy are absolutely in love! She is so sweet. Mom and dad had a few ideas, including posing her with dad's BDUs from when he was in the Army. Those were really special. Here are a few of our favorites from the session! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Lainey? Aubrey: How perfect and beautiful she was. That she is the final piece to our family.  T.H. P.: How did you come up with her name? Aubrey: We decided we wanted a Name that started L. Lainey’s dad would give lists of L names to me and I was never set on any of them. We almost decided to go with something different than L. I asked Chris his opinion of Lainey and he told me that he thought of that name recently but was done with getting turned down on all the lists of names he had came up with. That’s how we came up with Lainey. Jean is Lainey’s middle name and she gets that from her Mami (grandma) on her mother’s side....

Last week, I had the honor of photographing a beautiful baby girl named Laya in our studio. She was the perfect baby, so calm and peaceful throughout the session. Her mom and big brother came along, and you could just feel how much they love her. It was such a sweet moment seeing how they looked at her with so much pride and joy. We tried so many adorable newborn poses and props, and Laya absolutely rocked every single one of them. She gave us the cutest little expressions, making the photos even more special. From cozy wraps to tiny headbands, every setup just seemed to fit her perfectly. Laya was such a chill baby, which made the whole session a dream. T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Laya? Kassandra: When we first saw Laya, we were filled with so much love, happiness and just overall grateful.

Interview with Robert - Royal Valley Class of 2025 - Topeka's Best Senior Photos

Image
I had the pleasure of photographing Robert, a high school senior from Royal Valley High. Robert is not just your average senior—he’s a football player with an amazing smile and one of the friendliest personalities you could ever meet. We couldn’t have asked for a better day for his session. The weather was perfect, and the sunlight gave everything a warm, golden glow. We started at Ward Meade Park, which is one of my favorite spots. The mix of colorful fall leaves and historic charm gave us some incredible backdrops. Robert was a natural in front of the camera, and his cheerful personality made it easy to capture some great shots. Afterward, we headed out to the countryside near the Governor's Mansion and the Kansas River. The scenery was stunning, especially as the sun began to set. The golden hour light mixed with the vibrant fall colors was absolutely magical. It felt like the perfect way to celebrate the last bits of autumn before the leaves are gone for the season. Overall,...
