T.H. Peterson Photography

Kayla’s senior session was such a fun one! She comes from a small rural community but wanted a city vibe for her photos, so we spent most of her session downtown. She was so photogenic and had the best smile, which made photographing her an absolute joy. We laughed a lot throughout the shoot, and her personality really came through in the photos. Her mom joined us and was so fun to hang out with, making the whole experience even better. We wrapped up the evening downtown with the most amazing golden hour sunset, and it was truly breathtaking. The light was perfect and gave her photos such a beautiful glow. Kayla has such a great personality and energy, and I can’t wait to share these photos—they really capture who she is and this special moment in her life. T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Kayla: I plan to study anthropology after high school. T.H. P:   Dream job? Kayla:  Historian. T.H. P:   What classes are you glad to be done with?

Ava was absolutely beautiful for her senior portrait session! We had an amazing time capturing her both in the studio and outdoors, and every shot turned out stunning. One of the highlights of her session was getting to include her adorable big dog, Goose. He was such a sweetheart, and the photos of them together were just perfect! When we headed outside, it was freezing ! But Ava came prepared with her cowhide blanket, and let me tell you—it looked incredible. I even told her she looked like she just stepped out of a catalog! Despite the cold, she totally rocked the session with confidence and style. Ava, you were amazing to work with, and I can’t wait for you to see the final images! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Ava: My plans after high school are to attend Washburn University for my first 3 years, then get accepted into a vet school hopefully out of state. T.H. P.: Dream job? Ava:  Livestock and exotic Veterinarian. T.H. P.: What is something you like...

 Mackenzie's session was COLLDDDD!!!! Cold and windy but that didn't stop us from having an amazing session! In fact, because of the cold we shot in our studio in NOTO and because we don't do that often, we were able to get some very unique and beautiful images that we don't normally get during senior shoots! I'm a huge fan of how they turned out!! Mackenzie did beautifully, she had a great attitude, and her smile was so beautiful! I'm absolutely thrilled with the results and glad that we were able to do these for her before it got too much colder outside! Thanks for checking out Mackenzie's epic shoot!!! T.H. Peterson:    Favorite thing about going to Lyndon high? Mackenzie:     My favorite thing about going to Lyndon is all the good friends and memories I have made. I have learned so much from my years here. T.H. P.:    What are your plans after high school? Mackenzie:     My plan after high school is to study nursin...

 One thing I love to do is blog and I usually do so by blogging sessions after I'm done with them. I decided this afternoon to talk a little bit about why I love specifically photographing high school students and some of my motivation behind my shoots. I have been photographing portraits since 1999 and have in the past 10 years or so worked on my own business. It has come a very long way and I am so blessed to be able to do what I do. So I thought it would be fun to give 10 reasons why I love shooting high school senior portraits!  1. Seniors are awesome, adventurous and down for anything. If any group of clients I would say are down to get creative and allow us to try new ideas and have fun, it would be teenagers. They want "something different". I hear that ALL the time. They don't want what everyone else has. And because of that, while they might have their own ideas, they are usually VERY open to whatever I want to do. After all, as a photographer, I want to...
