Brody and Kiera in the studio! Fun family mini session - Topeka's Best Family Photographers

Image
I had so much fun photographing Brody and Kiera, a pair of high school siblings who came to the studio for a just-for-fun session! Their bond was easy to see, laughing and teasing. They brought such a natural vibe to every shot. I love sessions like this that capture the joy of family without needing a special occasion. We also brought their hobbies into the session to show off their personalities. Kiera, a talented ballet dancer, posed with grace, while Brody, a baseball player, brought his sporty style. It was a perfect mix of their individual passions and their fun connection as siblings!  To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonphoto.com

Meet Knox – the sweetest little guy! During his newborn session, he was such a joy to photograph. We used several adorable props and backdrops, and Knox gave us a little smile... basically we gushed over him! His expressions were so precious, showing off his personality even at such a young age. Knox’s mom and dad are absolutely crazy about him, and it’s easy to see why! They were glowing with love during the session, and it was so special to capture these moments for their family. Knox is already so loved and cherished, and we know he’s going to grow up surrounded by so much love and joy. T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with Knox’s name?

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 ...

Lauren and Cole’s session at KU was so special—not just because it’s where they graduated, but because their connection made every shot effortless. I had the privilege of photographing Lauren’s senior portraits in high school, so it was amazing to capture this new chapter for her and Cole. Even though it was chilly, they kept warm by cuddling close, making for the sweetest moments. Their chemistry is undeniable, and they’re such a photogenic couple. I can’t wait for their wedding!  To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonphoto.com

Our session with Lainey was perfect. She was such a beautiful little model. We took her session with her family and her big brothers were adorable and a lot of fun. Clearly mom and dad are crazy about her. We were able to get lots of beautiful images! Here are just a few of our favorites! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Lainey? Laura: When I first saw Lainey I asked if she was still a girl (LOL) I have two boys and she is the first girl in the Worcester family in almost 19 years. I thought she had beautiful eyelashes and looked like her big brother Casby.  T.H. P.: How did you come up with her name? Laura: We came up with her name because my husband and two boys are "C" names and so we wanted her to be an "L" name like me. The only name we really liked and could agree on was Lainey. Kristine is my mothers first name and my middle name as well.  T.H. P.: What do big bros think? Laura:  Big brothers love her very aggressively. Casby is always as...

Image
Erika and Brad are the sweetest family, and I loved photographing their newborn session. Their new baby, Luciana, has so much hair that I joked it looked like a wig! Her big sister, Addy, wasn’t too interested in the session, but we still managed to capture some really sweet moments of them together. Even though this was a quick session, we got some beautiful images of their little family. Newborn sessions are always special, but there’s something extra sweet about capturing those early days with a new baby. Luciana was so peaceful, and her tiny features were just perfect. We kept things simple and focused on natural, loving moments. Here are some of our favorite photos from the session! T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with her name? Erika: We wanted a unique and sweet name and came up with Luciana or “Lucy” for short. It also means “light” or “light in the darkness" and it serves as a reminder of God's presence and faithfulness even amid difficult times.  T.H. P.: What di...
