Happy birthday Knox! Adorable pet photographers - Topeka's Best Pet Photographers


Happy Birthday to the Cutest Pup in the Studio!


We had the pleasure of photographing Brandy and Trinity’s adorable dog, Knox, today for his third birthday. He came into the studio with his mom and big sister, and we were immediately smitten with him. He wore a charming bowtie and a festive birthday hat that only added to his charm.

Knox was curious about everything in the studio and loved to explore his surroundings. During the photoshoot, his mom and big sister kept him focused with treats, and he was well-behaved and attentive. We captured some truly adorable shots, and his sweet personality shone through in each photo.

I had the pleasure of photographing Zach, a senior from Lebo, Kansas, Class of 2025. We split his session into two parts to capture everything that makes him unique. The first session was all about his sports and some fun shots downtown. For the second, we headed to a gorgeous country property just outside of Lebo, and it couldn’t have been a better setting. The fall colors during the second session were absolutely stunning, making every photo feel warm and vibrant. Spending time with Zach and his family was such a treat—they were so kind and easy to work with. Zach’s smile lit up every shot, so photogenic! Here are a few of my favorite photos from his session!

Interview with Lauryn Gilfillan - Seaman High Class of 2025 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Lauryn is one of the coolest seniors I’ve ever met. From the moment we started her session, I could tell she was completely herself—funny, creative, and so much fun to be around. We started downtown in Topeka, and she even brought a Funko Pop of herself, which made for some awesome and unique pictures. I wanted to make sure I captured her personality because she’s so colorful and full of life, and I think we nailed it! We also took pictures at the Cyrus Hotel, where she totally rocked the modern and classy vibe. After that, we ended at the Capitol, and the photos there turned out absolutely beautiful. Each spot showed a different side of her personality, and I love how it all came together. Check out some of my favorite shots from her session—they’re amazing! T.H. Peterson: What classes are you enjoying most this year?  Lauryn: I really enjoy graphic design and jewelry because there’s a lot more time to work on projects by myself while probably watching Wallace and Gromit.

Image
Photographing Kaitlynn’s sweet 16 at Shawnee Lake was such a special experience. I’ve been taking her pictures since she was little, so it was amazing to see how much she’s grown up! The setting sun made everything look beautiful, and her outfits were perfect. She brought smoke bombs and balloons, which made the photos even more fun and colorful. Kaitlynn looked so natural in front of the camera. She’s always been photogenic, and she really shined in this session. It’s hard to believe she’s already 16!

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 ...

A proud Taylor Swift fan, Madison wanted to incorporate her love for the iconic artist into the session.  She made the whole session so fun, and I’m so happy with how the pictures came out. Her personality shines in every shot! T.H. Peterson: What is your dream job?  Madison: Working in child care. T.H.

Grand Teton Wedding - Beautiful fall wedding on the lake - Matt and Alena say I do!

Image
In Sept, I packed up my camera and hit the road to Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park for a wedding that was really close to my heart. This wasn't just any wedding—it was for my old friend, Matt, and his beautiful bride, Alena. Matt isn’t just a friend; he’s one of the first photographers I ever trained, and he worked with me way back when. He’s a genuinely nice guy, and I always knew he deserved someone special. After spending just a short time around Alena, it was clear to me that she’s his soulmate. They’re absolutely perfect together. The trip itself was an adventure. My son, Moses, came along for the ride, and it took us two days to get there. We couldn’t have timed it better—the aspens were at their peak, with bright golden leaves that covered the landscape like a painting. We were surrounded by these beautiful, saturated fall colors that made the drive unforgettable. The ceremony took place on Jackson Lake with the Teton mountains right there in the background. It was a...

Camille’s first birthday cake smash was such a joy to photograph! We kicked off the session with some Christmas-themed photos, and she was all smiles, showing off so much personality. Camille was an absolute natural in front of the camera – she just lit up the room. Her expressions were priceless, and she made every shot a keeper! Once we moved on to the cake smash, things got even more fun! Camille went right for the cake with a curious look and then big, happy giggles as she dug in. It was adorable to see her tiny hands exploring the frosting and her face lighting up with each bite. This little girl truly brought joy and laughter to the whole session, making it a memorable way to celebrate her big milestone!

Interview with Aubrey Richman - Lyndon High Class of 2025 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
I had the best time photographing Aubrey from Lyndon High School for her senior session! We kicked things off in downtown Topeka, where Aubrey brought tons of energy and personality to every shot. She showcased her cheerleading skills, along with her love for volleyball, and her joy was contagious. Her beautiful smile lit up every scene, and it was so easy to capture her bright spirit. The weather was amazing, with clear skies and a perfect golden hour glow that made everything even better. As the sun began to set, we made our way to the Governor's Mansion, where the light was absolutely stunning. The final shots by the Kansas River were my favorites of the whole session. The soft colors from the sunset reflected on the water, adding a warm, natural touch to every photo. Aubrey’s excitement and confidence truly shined through in these images, and each one felt like a perfect snapshot of her senior year. T.H.
