Natalie Robinson - WaRu Class of 2022 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits


Okay so where do I start? Natalie was such a special young lady. Her shoot was beautiful and perfect but I realized when we were done just how impressive Natalie is. As you'll read in this interview she said a movie she saw recently was "adorable and inspiring" and I laughed because that's exactly how I would describe Natalie! She is down to earth and confident and humble and smart and beautiful! She has a bright future for sure!! So excited to share her session. We did these on her property for the most part and I absolutely loved every part of her shoot! Enjoy!
 

T.H. Peterson: What are you most excited about for your senior year?

Natalie:  I am most excited about cheering at football games with my Cheer team and competing at State cheer!


 

T.H. P.: What are your plans after high school?

Natalie: During my senior year I am attending Washburn Tech Cosmetology program. I would also love to build my own wedding venue some day and prepare the bride for her special day!

T.H. P.:  How did you get your goat? How did you come up with the name socks and what's the best thing about having a goat?

Natalie:  My goat socks was born on my farm during a freezing winter night. Socks was actually a twin but because of the cold her mother experienced some difficulties during labor. I lost her twin so I was determined to try my hardest to save Socks. I put heat lamps up for her, put lots of bedding in her pen for her, fed her colostrum powder every morning and night since she did not receive any right when she was born. I saved her and we developed a best friend bond. I instantly knew her name would be Socks because she has four white socks around her feet! The best part about having a goat is having a friend that is always excited to see you. I could have the worst day ever but come home and it will be all better because I have Socks excited to see me!

T.H. P.: Tell me about your horse!

Natalie:  My horses name is Show time and I have had him since I was 11 years old. He is as gentle as can be. I trained him to run barrels and poles and I rodeo off of him!

T.H. P.:  So you're a rodeo girl. What's that like. What is your favorite thing about it?

Natalie: I love to rodeo! I compete Ribbon Running, barrels, and poles! I travel to local rodeos and compete in an association called Central Kansas Youth Rodeo Association in Canton Kansas! My favorite thing about Rodeo is the bond I have created with my horse and the amount of friendships I have created. But most importantly it has taught me to never give up and continue trying.

T.H. P.: Favorite place to eat?

Natalie: My favorite place to eat is Chick-fil-a!

T.H. P.: Last movie you saw and what did you think about it?

Natalie:  The last movie I saw was Disney’s new movie Luca and I thought it was inspiring and adorable!

T.H. P.: What did you like most about your session with us?

Natalie: I loved how you guys made everything so relaxed, funny, and comfortable!

T.H. P.: What would people be surprised to learn about you? Natalie: People would be surprised that I am an artsy person. I love to paint and can play the Ukulele.

T.H. P.: What skill do you feel extremely confident in and which skill do you wish you had?

Natalie: I feel extremely confident in talking. I will talk to anyone, anytime, and anyplace! A skill I wish I had would be to have more tumbling for cheer!

Janie and Jovie - Newborn session with Twins! Interview with Mom - Topeka's Newborn Photographers

Image
Now this was a special session! It's not often we photograph multiples for newborn sessions but these little girls were just perfect and despite them being born several months ago, because they were so premature they photographed just like brand new newborns! They were perfect! What a wonderful session and what a special story mom has to tell! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you found out you were having twins? Taylor.: I was shocked and did not know anything about twins before being pregnant with them. I later found out identical twins are a fluke and do not run in families. It’s been been a learning experience for sure but I would not trade it for the world. T.H. P.: What did you think when you first saw them? Taylor.: Due to complication of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, I had the girls via c-section at 29 weeks. My first glance  was brief before they were whisked away to the NICU. I remember thinking how small they were (Janie-3.6 lbs & Jovie-2.1 lbs) and how fe

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 setting.  Bring an extra jacket or cardigan to th

What a beautiful baby boy and it was great to have his whole family right there with him as we did this session. These are some of our favorites! Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Diego? Destrie: I thought he was so cute and was also in total shock because I just had another baby! T.H. P.: How did you come up with his name? Destrie: I have always loved the name Diego, and so I knew when I had a second boy he would have that name. T.H. P.: What does big bro think? Destrie: His brother is in total awe of him. Always checking on him and making sure to say “what mister” anytime he cries.  T.H. P.: What is something you liked about your session with us? Destrie: Took the time to let him calm down and then got right back into it as soon as he was ready! T.H. P.: Who does he look like? Destrie: Everyone says he looks like his dad, and I’d have to agree! To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonpho

Ellie and Jeanathan - Spring Session in the Studio - Topeka Kid's Photographer

Image
Hanna, who is a long time client, has recently begun helping us with newborns and it's been a huge blessing not only to our business but to her as well as she has had an opportunity to grow as a photographer herself and practice on getting better at wrapping and posing babies. She is growing by leaps and bounds and I am so thankful to have her on our team! She's someone I always appreciate having around! We photographed a session with her littles and I asked her to write about her session with us and here's what shes said: From our first session with T.H. Peterson we fell in love. The results were and are breath taking, but the entire experience is why we continue coming back. This session we wanted to capture our sons first birthday as well as our daughters third. We also wanted to recreate some really special images from our daughters previouse sessions.  Tommy never fails to capture those perfect moments in between the wiggles and shakes of our children and it's a

Cove was the sweetest little girl. She was so mellow and easy to photograph. She was just the cutest baby. It was a lot of fun coming up with poses for her and getting detail shots and images of her with her brother and mom! These are just some of our favorites!! Thanks for checking out Cove's session. So sweet! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Cove? Sierra: Well, I cried like a baby myself. During our first moments together, she just stared at me and was so calm, I couldn’t have fallen more in love.  T.H. P.: How did you come up with her name? Sierra: Her big brothers name is Cash, so I knew I wanted another one syllable name. When I stumbled upon Cove and said the names together, it was an instant yes. She’s already gotten the nickname of Coco as well, which is so cute.  T.H. P.: What is life like with a new baby in the house? Sierra: It honestly has been a huge adjustment, but way smoother than I had imagined. Cash is 5 and he’s been super helpful and sweet
