Interview with Coby Branson - SFT Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had such a great time photographing Coby for his senior session! I’ve photographed him a few times over the years, so it was really special to capture this milestone for him. Coby goes to Santa Fe Trail and plays baseball, and he’s just a really good guy—confident, down-to-earth, and easy to be around. We started part of his session on their property and then headed to a farm just north of Scranton. The views out there were amazing, and it felt like everything lined up perfectly for us. He really wanted a sunset for his senior photos, and wow, did we get one! The golden hour light that evening was absolutely stunning—the kind of sunset I rarely get to see. We even had the tallest hill in Osage City as the backdrop for part of the shoot, which made it extra unique. The colors, the light, and Coby’s relaxed personality all came together perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Here are a few of our favorites from his session—enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What classes...

Interview with Maddie Short - Topeka West Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

We had such a great time photographing Maddie for her senior session! She’s a senior at Topeka West, super friendly, and so easy to photograph. We started downtown and got some really beautiful shots there. Even in the middle of the city, the sunlight came through just right and made her hair glow. She looked absolutely stunning in those sunlit photos! After downtown, we headed to a few spots near the Governor’s Mansion where the light was just perfect. The sun shining through the leaves and tall grass gave everything this warm, golden feel that looked amazing. Maddie was a total natural in front of the camera and made the whole session fun. Time really flew by! I think her photos capture her personality so well—bright, warm, and full of life. T.H. Peterson: What classes are you enjoying this year? Maddie: Government T.H.

Interview with Liam Morrison - Washburn Rural Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
We had such a great time photographing Liam for his senior photos! He was super easy to work with and made the whole session fun. We started at his school, capturing him on the track and soccer field, especially doing hurdles—something he’s really passionate about. You could tell just how much he loves what he does, and it really shows in his photos. Liam is very photogenic and seemed to naturally know how to pose, which made our job even easier. After wrapping up at the school, we headed downtown and then out to the country to catch the setting sun over the beautiful rural Kansas landscape. Liam was down for anything we wanted to try, and he looked great no matter where we were or what we were doing. The session flowed so well, and the final images really captured his personality, athleticism, and love for what he does. It was an awesome session overall, and we can’t wait for him to see the finished photos! T.H. Peterson: What classes are you enjoying most this year? Liam: So far ...

We had such a great time photographing Addy’s senior session! We started in the studio and then headed out around Scranton and down to the lake. It was a beautiful day — perfect weather and golden light! Like most seniors, Addy took a little bit to warm up in front of the camera, but once she did, her real smile came out, and it was absolutely gorgeous. She has such a natural, genuine smile, and it was so fun capturing that on camera. I also really loved reading through Addy’s interview answers — she has such a great personality, and I feel like her photos show that perfectly. It’s always so rewarding when a session comes together like this one did. Here are a few of our favorites from her senior session. Enjoy! T.H. Peterson: What classes are you enjoying this year?
