Owen's going fishing! Adorable newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Our session with Owen was great! He is such a handsome little guy and he was such a great model. He let us pose him anyway we wanted and he had such a sweet temperament. Mom had some great ideas as well! So happy with how his session turned out!

T.H. Peterson: What has life been like with a new baby in the house?

Kailee: There is a huge learning curve with a newborn. We are so

overjoyed one moment and stressed about figuring out why he is

crying the next. Our dog Angus still isn’t too sure about his new little

brother.


T.H. P.: Something you liked about your session with us? 

Kailee: Very relaxed and flexible. Especially considering we had to break for a feeding session and a diaper change 


T.H. P.: Can you tell me about the props you brought and their emotional 

significance? 

Kailee: Both my husband and I love to fish and hope Owen develops the same passion. 

T.H. P.: What did you think when you first saw Owen? 

Kailee: We were shocked he had eyebrows and how long/big he was. 

T.H. P.: How did you come up with his name? Kailee: We liked the name Owen and his middle name Dwayne is a family name.

I had a great time hanging out with Shawn. I love how his session turned out. We started at the gym to get some great basketball shots of him. He's clearly very passionate about playing and I love how these images really capture that. We then headed to Gage Park and downtown. What started off as a cloudy day ended in the perfect pink and blue sky; the afterglow of the sun setting was just incredible. Shawn is very photogenic and we were able to get many images of him that show off his personality and the beauty of Topeka. These are some of our favorites from his session. Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: How long have you played basketball? What have been some of your proudest moments? Shawn: I've played basketball since I was 5 years-old.

A Country Celebration: Ryan and Abigail's Love-Filled Wedding at Circle S Ranch - Lawrence, KS Wedding

Image
In May, I had the chance to photograph Ryan and Abigail at Circle S Ranch, just outside of Lawrence, KS. The place was totally country with beautiful rolling hills stretching as far as the eye could see. It was a sunny, warm day, and you could just feel the love in the air. Abigail is a strong and lovely woman with so much personality and beauty. Her smile could light up a room, and she radiated confidence. Ryan, on the other hand, is the sweetest, funniest, and most tender person you'll ever meet. His playful nature and kind heart made it clear why Abigail fell for him. The moment Abigail came out for their first look was unforgettable. Ryan was in tears, overwhelmed by his love for her. They decided to exchange their vows privately, away from the crowd, which made the moment even more intimate and touching. The way they looked at each other during their vows was heartwarming. After the beautiful ceremony, the reception turned into an insane, crazy party filled with laughter, danc

P.: How did you come up with her name?  Mariah: My grandma, my mom, and myself all have names that start with “M” so I knew if I ever had a daughter that she would need an “M” name too. I have always loved the name Maddox, especially for a girl! I was afraid to suggest it to my husband because I loved it so much and I didn’t want him to void the name 😅 he also loved it! Her middle names are Jolene Eagle. Jolene is from our lord and savior

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 precious little girl! We had the pleasure of photographing Miss Ayden. She is so pretty and was a great little model for us.

She gave us such great eye contact. I absolutely loved her session. Here's a few of our favorites. Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Ayden?

I suffered from pre-eclampsia from early on with recommendations to be hospitalized from 18 weeks on. Weekly doctors appointments and multiple ultrasounds.

Judd is such a great guy. I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with him. He has the best personality and you can tell quickly that he has a very kind and considerate heart.
