Miss Delainey Joanna's newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Delainey was the most perfect little baby! Tiny, precious, and so peaceful, she slept right through almost her entire session. It was a practice session for one of our newer baby assistants, and Delainey made it so easy to wrap and pose her perfectly. She really was a dream to work with!

Mom and dad were over the moon with how everything turned out. Dad even had a super fun idea with a deer head, and we were able to bring his vision to life just right. Seeing their excitement and photographing sweet Delainey made this session extra special for all of us!

T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Delainey?
Tabitha: I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and couldn’t believe what we had created.

T.H. P.: How did you come up with her name?
Tabitha: We googled names and started putting names together.
T.H. P.: Who does she look like?
Tabitha: We think she looks like both of us but probably more like her daddy! Until she mean mugs, then it’s her momma.
T.H. P.: Hardest part of your pregnancy?
Tabitha: Hardest part was waiting so long to meet her!
T.H. P.: Something you liked about your session with us
Tabitha: You guys were great! Your assistant was amazing and very gentle and caring with Delainey like she was her own. You both made me feel so comfortable handling her.

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

Image
Sweet baby Radley was just three days old for his newborn session, and he was the calmest, chill little guy you could imagine. Such a tiny little thing, with the softest features and the sweetest expressions, he gave us a session full of quiet moments, tiny smirks, and little smiles that made everyone melt. He was so relaxed the entire time, which made it easy to capture those peaceful, cozy newborn images that parents love looking back on. Mom and Dad are already completely in love with him, and you can feel it in every photo. We also created some beautiful family portraits that feel warm, cuddly, and full of connection — the kind of images that truly show a family in this special new season of life. It’s such a gift to watch a family grow, and I’m so thankful we were able to create these memories for them. I hope these images bring them lifelong joy and always remind them just how tiny and precious Radley was in these first few days. 💛 T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you f...

Interview with Laci Cole - Seaman High Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Laci was such a joy to photograph. From the moment she walked into the studio, she was friendly, relaxed, and incredibly easy to work with. She has a great smile and is very photogenic, which always makes a session flow effortlessly. Nothing ever felt awkward, even in between shots, and that made the whole experience feel natural and fun. Her outfits were perfect too—they fit the mood of the photos so well and really pulled everything together. It was also one of those cold, snowy days, so we started inside the studio where it was warm, but we couldn’t resist stepping outside for a few shots. Even with the freezing temps, we were able to capture some really cool images with the snow, and they turned out amazing. It was so nice meeting Laci and her mom—they were both wonderful. Laci is a beautiful young lady, inside and out, and you can tell right away that she’s very smart just from spending a little time around her. We’re so glad we got to be part of her senior year. T.H. Peterson: ...

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

Image
Baby Benjamin’s newborn session was such a sweet and special experience. He is a tiny, beautiful little guy, and from the moment we started, you could feel how excited Mom and Dad were to be there. We took our time and worked carefully to create soft, beautiful images of him, and he gave us the most adorable little expressions. Every photo felt gentle, calm, and full of love, making the entire session a joy to photograph. Some of my favorite images from Benjamin’s session are the family portraits. There is something so special about seeing him in his parents’ arms, looking so safe and precious. The connection between them is so natural and strong, and it shows in every image. These are the kinds of photos that tell a story, not just of a newborn session, but of a family beginning a brand new chapter together. T.H. P.: What did you think when you first saw Benjamin? Nicole: I was previously told I couldn’t have children and then had an emergency C-section with him, so it’s been quit...

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

Image
We had so much fun taking pictures of baby Sienna recently! Her mom and dad are so in love with her, and you can really feel it when you’re around them.  Sienna was a little fussy at first, and it took a few minutes to get her settled—but once she was, she showed us all kinds of cute expressions. She has so much personality in her little face, and it was so fun to capture that. We got some really beautiful shots with different poses, props, and backdrops. I’m so happy with how the photos turned out—they really show the love this family has for each other. Sienna is such a sweet baby, and I know her family will treasure these pictures forever. T.H. P.: What does big bro think of his sister? Kailee: Our 19 month old wasn’t super excited to share his mommy with his new sister mainly at bedtime. Otherwise he loves saying “sissy” and “baby”. He’s such a big helper handing things to mommy when she needs something. T.H. P.:   How did you come up with her name? Kailee:   ...

Emmy Sue's Newborn Session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Emmy Sue was an absolute dream to photograph. She is beautiful, with perfect skin, and gave us the sweetest little smiles and smirks throughout her session. From the moment she arrived, her calm presence and tiny expressions completely stole our hearts. She was a little fussy at first — just like most babies — but once she was swaddled, she settled right in and posed so wonderfully. We captured some truly beautiful images with mom and dad, and every moment felt natural and effortless. Photographing Emmy Sue was such a joy, and this session is one we won’t forget. T.H. P.: What did you think when you first saw her? Kynzy: I thought she was perfect and couldn’t believe she was finally here! T.H. P.:   How did you come up with her name? Kynzy:   I’ve always loved the name Emmy, and she got her middle name from her grandma. T.H. P.:   Who does she look like? Kynzy:   I think she looks like her dad, and her dad thinks she looks like me — so a perfect mix! T.H. P.: ...

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 ...

Interview with Adrian Romero - Topeka West Class of 2026 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Adrian is a senior at Topeka West, graduating with the Class of 2026. She’s been playing soccer since 3rd grade, and her love for the game really showed during her session. She’s confident, driven, and full of energy—and on top of that, incredibly photogenic with a beautiful, bright smile. We spent a lot of time focusing on her passion for soccer, and it was clear how much it means to her. At the end of the session, we headed out to the water at Shawnee Lake, just in time for the most incredible sunset. The sky lit up in a rich orange glow, giving us the perfect backdrop. Adrian looked amazing against the lake and sunset, and we captured some truly stunning images. It was such a fun evening and a session to remember! T.H. Peterson: What classes are you looking forward to your senior year? Adrian: I’m looking forward to earning my CMA during my senior year. T.H. P: Why is TWest a great school?

Image
This session was straight up awesome! A little different than our typical session where we go all over town. Nathan was into his guitars and playing so with that being the theme I thought right around our studio space in Topeka was perfect and we didn't need to go far. We got some with his girlfriend and his sister. I absolutely loved his session. The light was really working with us that day too. The sun was so incredible and beautiful and made for a really dramatic background for us. Here's a few of our favorites including a slideshow at the bottom of the blog post for you to enjoy!

Gabby's senior session was an absolute blast! From the moment we met, I felt like we clicked instantly—she's just that cool. She’s creative, artistic, and has such a fun, genuine personality.
