Preston Lee, what a cutie! Mom was so proud of him and little sister just so enamoured with him. He is well loved. We had a great time with them and photographing Mr. Preston was just such a joy. He was a chill, content baby. So cooperative. These are some of our favorites along with an interview with mom. Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you found out you were pregnant?

Senior year is an exciting time in a young person's life. It's a time when they are looking forward to graduation and the next chapter of their life.

Last week, we had the pleasure of shooting senior portraits for Hannah, a vibrant member of the class of 2024. We chose a beautiful rural country property with charming barns and old buildings as our backdrop, creating a picturesque setting for the photoshoot. And let me tell you, the sunset was absolutely amazing! It provided the perfect lighting to make Hannah shine even more. We couldn't have asked for better weather, although there was a brief moment of concern when it started sprinkling. But luckily, the weather cleared up quickly, giving us a stunning end to the session. It's those little unexpected moments that add a touch of excitement to the whole experience. To make the photoshoot even more personal, we decided to incorporate Hannah's dad's truck into some of the shots. It had a weathered look that added a nostalgic and authentic feel to the photos. Plus, it was a great way to showcase Hannah's involvement in the FFA, a testament to her dedication and pass

We're finally getting caught up on blogging from a lot of sessions we did last year and earlier this year. This session was Trey from Burlington. It was an awesome session.

I was very impressed. Trey was very nice and easy to photograph! It was a beautiful fall afternoon. We took these at his school and then out in the country at a beautiful property that made the session end amazingly. The sun set and warm glow were the perfect way to wrap up his session. Here are some of our favorites!  To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonphoto.com
