Ivy Rose - Newborn Session - Topeka Newborn Photographers

This was a very special and bittersweet session to post. Marcina Wall, a longtime friend and customer brought in her daughter and granddaughter for newborn photos. They live out of state and so it was a special time for Marcina to get portraits of her beautiful granddaughter. Sadly, Marcina passed away about a month after the session and so I am so thankful that we were able to get these images for Ivy and her family. Something that Ivy will cherish when she grows up. Thank you for checking out her session. 




Marcina was so proud of her family.

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

Check out my assistant Sarah's family! Awesome generation portrait session - Topeka's Best Family Photographers

Image
Recently, we photographed Sarah, my assistant (of many years) she’s incredible! Always professional, friendly and fun to be around. I asked her to do a write up for her blog post. Here’s what she wrote: My first experience with T.H. Peterson Photography was 8 years ago. I saw an add for his spring mini sessions and thought it would be a perfect fit for my husband (who hates photos) and my four small kids. That photo shoot resulted in amazing pictures and also a job for me! I’m Sarah, one of Tommy’s photo assistants and this spring my extended family met Tommy at Osage lake for our family photo shoot. This session, like every session we had with Tommy and his team, was easy, relaxed, quick and tons of fun! As someone who is much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it-Tommy and his assistants always make me and my whole family feel comfortable and confident. I’m happy and proud to call T.H. Peterson my photographer, my employer and my friend. To book your own session, ple

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

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

Tracer was such a sweet baby! I remember almost immediately when we started the session, he was comfortable and ready to be posed. Usually it takes a min to get them settled but he was a very good baby. I mean just look at that smile. He smiled almost right at the beginning and he was just a blast to photograph! Here are a handful of our favorite images from the session. Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Tracer? Kaitlin: That he was just as amazing as I’d imagined! T.H. P.: How did you guys come up with his name? Kaitlin: His father came up with it! T.H. P.: What was your pregnancy like? Any food cravings or aversions? Kaitlin: My pregnancy was wonderful, especially feeling his little movements, lots of fruit cravings! T.H. P.: What is something you liked about your session with us?

Sawyer is a CUTE kid! He was so chill and photographing him was a blast. I love the portraits we got of him and the images with mom and dad are super special! He even gave us a smile right at the start! Even as a newborn you can see he's got lots of personality! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Sawyer? Jill: I was just so happy and excited that he was finally here. It felt so unreal! T.H. P.: How did you come up with his name? Jill: We struggled at first trying to find ones we both liked. We wanted something different, but not weird and we both liked Sawyer! For his middle names, we both liked Ellis and thought it went well with Sawyer, and Wayne after my dad who passed in 2012. T.H. P.: Something you liked about your session with us? I loved how good you guys Jill: were with him. As a first time parent, it’s a little nerve racking to hand your baby over to people, but you guys did amazing! T.H. P.: What is life like adjusting to a new baby? Jill: It’s definit
