Knox's newborn session - Interview with mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Meet Knox – the sweetest little guy! During his newborn session, he was such a joy to photograph. We used several adorable props and backdrops, and Knox gave us a little smile... basically we gushed over him! His expressions were so precious, showing off his personality even at such a young age.

Knox’s mom and dad are absolutely crazy about him, and it’s easy to see why! They were glowing with love during the session, and it was so special to capture these moments for their family. Knox is already so loved and cherished, and we know he’s going to grow up surrounded by so much love and joy.

T.H. Peterson: How did you come up with Knox’s name?

Maleeah: We came up with his name by looking up a bunch of list of semi-unique baby names for months. We were between Greyson and Knox but ultimately chose Knox. 

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

Maleeah: When I first saw him I was in shock his was real. He was a calm baby in my stomach so to see him be real and so perfect was crazy. He also had a major cone head so I was a little worried but it came down beautifully!

T.H. P.: Who does he look like? 

Maleeah: He looks just like his daddy. They are twins and have been since he first came out. 

T.H. P.: Did you have food aversions or cravings during pregnancy? 

Maleeah: I had a strong aversion to wing stop. We couldn’t even drive by it without me gagging! Which is crazy because I loved wing stop before I was pregnant. I craved all things sweet my whole pregnancy but the first trimester I craved pickles the hardest and the last I craved mozzarella sticks and had them everytime I went to work. 

T.H. P.: What is his personality?

Maleeah: He is a very calm sleepy baby. He was 3 weeks early so he is just starting to be more alert 2 weeks later. I think he’s going to be a pretty chill guy like his dad, grandpa and great grandpa.

John and April's beautiful day! Incredible Wedding Celebration at Liquid Art Winery - Manhattan, KS

Image
John and April’s wedding at Liquid Art Winery was something special from start to finish. Set against rolling hills and the vineyard, the whole day had this calm, beautiful feel to it. It was cloudy in the best way—soft light, perfect for photos, and just an all-around ideal day for a wedding. Then right at the end of the night, the sun came out and gave us the most gorgeous golden light to wrap everything up. What stood out most was just how loved John and April are. You could feel it in every moment—friends and family showing up big for them, celebrating them, and surrounding them with so much support. Every detail of the day was dialed in. The food was incredible—brisket, salad, veggies—all so good. They even brought in local small businesses for cookies and ice cream, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. The venue itself is phenomenal, and the DJ brought so much energy that the whole place stayed alive all night. And April—she had two dresses! Her ceremony dress was absolu...

Interview with Ellie Sowers - Santa Fe Trail Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
I was really excited to photograph Ellie for her senior photos because I’ve had the chance to work with her many times over the years. She’s always been so natural in front of the camera, and this session was no different. We shot at a beautiful location that had a little bit of everything—pond, tall grass, wooded areas, a basketball court, and even an awesome swing with a view. Every outfit she wore fit her perfectly and photographed so well. She made the whole session easy and fun, and before we knew it, the time had flown by. It was also really great having her family there with us. You can tell they’re a close, supportive group, and that energy always shows through in photos. Ellie has such a kind, confident presence, and it was fun getting to capture that during such an important season of her life. I’m really happy with how everything turned out and excited for her as she heads into her senior year. I’m thankful I got to be part of it. T.H. P.: What are your favorite classes th...

Banks's newborn session - Interview with mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Banks was seriously such a cute little guy to photograph. I was honestly shocked at how much hair he had. His blonde hair almost looked like a tiny little wig, and it made him even more adorable. He gave me a couple little smiles during the session, but honestly, what stood out most were all the expressions he made. He was so animated the whole time, and every once in a while he would let out this loud cry that was actually kind of hilarious and adorable at the same time. Normally I’m not trying to photograph babies crying, but he was so expressive that it made for some really fun photos. We also got some really beautiful images of Banks with his mom, and those are some of my favorites from the session. You could just feel how much love was there. Overall, his session turned out so good, and I had such a fun time photographing him. I ended up with so many great images, and I’m super excited about how everything came together. Here’s a few of our favorites from his newborn session. T.H....

Interview with Brynna Perry - Santa Fe Trail Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
From the very beginning of Brynna’s senior session, I knew it was going to be a good one. She has the kind of personality that just makes people smile. Brynna is funny, confident, smart, and completely herself, and once she started relaxing in front of the camera, her hilarious side really came out. She was making the funniest faces and keeping us laughing the entire session. She also has one of the best smiles, and the moment I got that first real laugh out of her, I knew we were going to create some amazing photos together. Spending the afternoon with Brynna and her mom was such a fun way to kick off our Class of 2027 senior season. We started the session at an old barn in Scranton before heading downtown to Lyndon, where Brynna wore the perfect dress for the location and vibe. Everything just came together so naturally. After that, we made our way to Melvern, stopping at an old bridge surrounded by beautiful trees and sky before ending at Melvern Lake for sunset. The evening could n...

Kaitlyn’s senior session was such a fun one to photograph from start to finish. We shot her session at Ted Ensley Gardens, and it was the perfect backdrop for her personality. She has a really great smile and such a fun, easygoing energy that made the whole shoot feel relaxed and natural. Her family came along too, and they added to the experience in the best way — lots of laughs, encouragement, and good moments in between shots. We also spent time at Shawnee Lake, and it couldn’t have looked better. Everything was vibrant and green, and the skies were really colorful and full of life that day. Kaitlyn was completely down to try anything we suggested, which made it easy to get a wide variety of photos. Looking back through her gallery, you can really see all the happy, genuine emotions we were able to capture throughout her session.    T.H. P.: What are your plans after high school?

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

Image
Tobias was seriously one of the sweetest little babies we’ve ever photographed. He had the cutest little face and the calmest personality, which made the whole session feel really special. Mom and dad were there soaking in every moment, and Grandma came along too—completely in love with her new grandson. You could just feel how much this little guy is already adored. Tobias was a perfect little model the entire time, giving us the sweetest smirks and tiny expressions that made it hard to put the camera down. They also brought along his older cousin, who’s still just a toddler, and getting photos of the two of them together was such a fun part of the session. Those moments were full of personality and so much cuteness. One of the highlights was incorporating a saddle that dad brought—it added such a unique and personal touch, and those images turned out to be some of our favorites. This session was full of love, meaningful details, and so many moments this family will treasure for year...

Bree and Trent’s engagement session was just one of those shoots that reminds me why I love what I do. We started things off in the studio, keeping it clean and simple with a seamless backdrop so all the focus stayed right on them. Right away, you could see how natural they are together—lots of laughs, easy smiles, and just that genuine connection you can’t fake. After that, we headed out to Osage Lake near the studio, and man… we could not have asked for a better day.

Brynn and Justin's Engagement Session - Gridley, KS - Kansas Top Wedding Photographers

Image
We started out on their property, and it was just incredible. Rolling fields, a classic Kansas sunset, and the kind of light you hope for every time. One of my favorite spots was this old wooden cross they had out in the field—it added such a meaningful, rustic touch. After that, we explored some abandoned buildings and then made our way to a farm nearby, which gave us even more variety. Everywhere we went just fit their vibe perfectly. We also got to include their little daughter, and she completely stole the show. So smiley, so expressive—just the cutest. The whole session felt easy and fun. Lots of laughs, some goofy moments, and just really good connection between them. You can tell how much they enjoy being together, and that always makes for the best photos.

Interview with Carson Horne - Lyndon High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Carson is a senior at Lynden High School, and we had a great time photographing him for his senior portraits. We started out on the football field at his school, where we took advantage of the familiar setting and got some strong, classic football portraits. Carson was easy to work with right from the start—relaxed, natural, and very photogenic. He made my job simple because he could just step in front of the camera and be himself. After that, we headed down the street to an old gas station area with classic cars and an old scoreboard that gave the session a really unique feel. It was the perfect backdrop for something a little different and added a lot of character to his gallery and took some really meaningful photos with his little brother, which turned out great. We also stopped at another nearby spot that gave us a lot of cool looks.  Carson is an easygoing, friendly senior who talked about enjoying coaching younger athletes, and it really showed—he comes across as grounded, ...

I had such a great time photographing Autumn’s senior session. She is a super photogenic girl with an awesome smile and a really fun personality. We started the session in NOTO, and the colorful backgrounds were perfect for her style and energy. She was so easy to photograph because she was willing to jump right into the session and have fun with it. After that, we headed to the Capitol for some classic senior photos before finishing out in the country during golden hour. Every location fit her perfectly, and the whole session just flowed so naturally. We ended the night on top of the hill overlooking the Wanamaker lights, and it made for such a cool ending to the session. We even captured some cheer photos there, which turned out amazing with the city lights glowing behind her. Autumn brought such a great vibe and energy all evening, and it honestly made the session a blast from start to finish. I loved everything about this session, and I would photograph her again anytime. T.H. P.:...
