Interview with Caleb Menke - Hayden High Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

We started out with some baseball photos, then headed over to Gage Park before finishing up at the Governor’s Mansion. Caleb was just a really great guy to photograph. He’s down to earth, funny, has a great personality, and was very natural in front of the camera.
