Olivia's newborn session - Interview with mom - Topeka's Newborn Photographers

 
Miss Olivia is such a beautiful little baby! I might have a bias as she reminds me of my sister when she was a baby. I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Olivia and her family. They are crazy about her. She was so easy to photograph. She was super chill and had the most adorable expression on her face. I absolutely loved these first images of her on the pink backdrop and white wrap. Perfect little one. Enjoy!

Interview with Lorren Wiscombe - SFT Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Lorren’s senior session was such a fun one! We started the morning at the sunflower fields at Shively Farms, and we could not have asked for a better morning. The sun was coming up, the light was beautiful, and best of all, we had the entire place to ourselves. We were able to capture some absolutely gorgeous sunrise images surrounded by the sunflowers. Lorren is so photogenic, and she made my job easy with her beautiful smile, natural expressions, and willingness to try whatever poses we wanted. After the sunflower fields, we headed to Shawnee Lake and then downtown for even more variety. Lorren brought 2 outfits that looked fantastic on her, and each one gave us a different look. She's super friendly and a natural in front of the camera; a great model. When she came back to see her images, they were so happy with the photos, and that is always one of my favorite parts of a senior session. All in all, it was just a great morning and a fantastic senior session with Lorren! T.H. Pet...

Interview with Haven Ellenburg - Shawnee Heights High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Haven's senior session was one of those evenings where everything just came together. We started at Shawnee Heights High School on the softball field since that's where she's spent so much of her time. She was so easy to photograph from the beginning. She has a GREAT smile, a fun personality, and she's completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her mom came along too, and it was fun having her there cheering Haven on and getting excited every time we found another great spot. After the ball field, we made our way to the Governor's Mansion and then finished the evening at Kaw River Park. The sunset could not have been any better. The sky looked almost unreal and the water made the perfect backdrop for her portraits. We spent the evening talking about school,  plans after graduation, and just enjoying the beautiful weather. It was such a fun session from start to finish, and I'm really excited for Haven and her family to have these memories to look back on for...

Interview with Ean Winsor - Holton High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
When Ean stepped out of his vehicle, I was pretty excited because this is a BIG dude! As a football player at Holton High School, he has the kind of stature that really stands out, and he absolutely towered over us. I knew we could make some really tough-looking images of him, and we definitely did our best to capture that side of him. But it didn't take long to realize that underneath that big football-player exterior is a giant teddy bear. Ean is such a sweet, friendly, and considerate young man, and I wanted to make sure we captured that side of him too. We started his session on the football field and talked a little about football and his great team at Holton High School. The session was pretty quick, and then we headed out into the country for some photos on a gravel road. The setting sun gave us this beautiful, warm, vibrant background that really made the images pop. Ean gave us some awesome smiles, and we were able to get tons of great images during his session. It was a r...

Interview with Addy Crouch - Shawnee Heights Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had so much fun photographing Addy for her senior portraits! We started at Shawnee Heights High School with some cheer photos, and she absolutely crushed them. She nailed every jump and pose, which was honestly impressive because we usually have to repeat a few of those shots to get just the right one. Mom mentioned that Addy also dances, and that definitely made sense once we started taking photos. She was so natural in front of the camera and had the sweetest smiles and expressions from the very beginning. After SHHS, we headed over to Iliff Commons for the rest of her session. As we spent more time together, we got to see more of Addy's personality come out. She's a funny girl, made us smile. Her mom and dad joined us for some of the photos, and of course, we had to include her dog too. Really adorable pup! We loved getting to capture all of the smiles, laughs, and little moments that made her session so much fun.   T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? ...

Interview with Jared Heuertz - Oskaloosa High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Jared was such a fun senior to photograph! We actually photographed him during a couple of different sessions, and each one gave us something completely different. We started early one morning at Crooked Post Winery where he works. There we were treated to a beautiful sunrise and some awesome weather. The vineyard made the perfect backdrop for his session, and from there we headed to the lake and then to his house, finding awesome locations and opportunities for photos everywhere we went. We finished up with some pictures with his dogs; the perfect way to end the morning! For his second session, we headed to his high school to capture some of the things that are a huge part of Jared's life: football and baseball. Jared puts a ton of time and energy into his athletics, so getting those photos around his school and on the field was really important. More than anything, Jared is just one of the nicest seniors I've ever had the opportunity to photograph. He's silly, happy, ful...

Interview with Ayden Crosswhite - Washburn Rural Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
I had the chance to photograph Ayden, a Washburn Rural senior, and even though this was a shorter session than usual, we captured some truly amazing images. We started at Washburn Rural, where we highlighted his passion for football. Ayden was relaxed, easygoing, and brought a great smile to every shot. Right from the beginning, it felt like everything came together naturally. After that, we headed downtown to one of my favorite grungy spots, and Ayden was up for anything. The time flew by, and before we knew it, the session was over. His personality really shines through these portraits — confident, genuine, and full of life. I’m excited about how these turned out. Thanks for checking it out! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after graduation? Ayden: I’m undecided. I’m very passionate about football, but I don’t know where I will ultimately end up. T.H. P.:   Something you liked about your session with us? Ayden:   It felt natural, like I had done a hundred shoo...

Interview with Isaiah Withers - Seaman High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
When I first met Isaiah, it was obvious he takes his training seriously. He's a senior at Seaman High School and spends a lot of time powerlifting at Joe's Gym, a small backyard garage gym where everyone feels like family. Even though senior pictures probably weren't at the top of his list of favorite things to do, he was up for anything we suggested and made the whole session easy. He's a genuinely nice, down-to-earth guy, and it didn't take long before we were laughing and having a good time. One of my favorite parts was watching him actually lift during the session instead of just pretending. I joked that he got a workout in while getting his senior photos. After the gym, we headed to Isaiah's house to finish the session. We spent some time in his yard, and the sunset put on an incredible show for us. The warm evening light gave us a completely different look than the dramatic gym photos, and I love how the two locations tell different parts of his story. Isa...

Image
Dawson's session was one for the books! He is super nice, very friendly, and has a great smile and personality. We started his senior session in NOTO, where we found lots of colorful backdrops and fun spots throughout. From there, we headed over to Ward Meade Park and were able to create so many cool images. The warm glow of the sun made an amazing backdrop and really added something special to his photos. We finished the evening at Shawnee Lake, where we captured some beautiful images on the water with the setting sun behind him. The sun was huge, warm, and absolutely breathtaking! We had such a great time with Dawson and his mom, and his session was filled with so many awesome images. He made our job easy with his great smile, personality, and willingness to have fun! T.H. P.: What are your plans after high school? Dawson: Find a trade that offers me something I really want to pursue in life! T.H. P.: What’s your dream job? Dawson: Therapist T.H.

Image
Zariah from Highland Park High School was awesome to photograph! She came with some really great ideas, and we had a lot of fun getting creative with her session. We started at the studio in the mall, where we were able to capture some really unique images that showed off her personality and style. Zariah has an incredible smile, and she made my job pretty easy because she simply could not take a bad photo! We finished up at Kaw River Park, and the sunset could not have been better. The sun was glowing across the water and gave us the most beautiful light to finish her session. Every angle, every expression, every photo seemed to work perfectly. She rocked her senior session, and we ended up with some incredible images! T.H. Peterson:   Plans after high school Zariah: Going to college and major in law T.H.

Kendall's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Kendall was an absolute dream during her newborn session! My assistant and I were completely blown away by how chill she was. She was so smiley and nothing seemed to bother her. She basically let us do whatever we wanted, and she posed so well for us. She even gave us some of the tiniest little hand poses that had us cracking up. She was just such a good baby, and we couldn't get enough of her! Kendall has three older brothers, and we have had the pleasure of photographing these little guys many times over the years. They are still so young, but they are already completely in love with their baby sister. They were so sweet with her and very interested in everything she was doing. It was so much fun getting pictures of all of them together, the whole family, and some special photos of just the brothers with Kendall. They are going to be some excellent big brothers! It was truly an honor to photograph this family again, and I absolutely love the images we captured. The connection be...
