T.H. Peterson Photography

We recently had a super fun photoshoot with Emma around Burlington. We started at the dam, where Emma's spunky and animated personality shined through. She made my job a breeze by striking the most natural poses! Then, we moved to the high school football field; Emma's smile and energy were contagious, making the photos come out full of life. But the best part was yet to come. As the sun began to set, we headed to the John Redmond Reservoir for the grand finale. The breathtaking sunset served as an incredible backdrop for capturing Emma's killer smile. Her friends tagged along, adding to the fun and laughter. It was clear that Emma cherishes her friendships. Having lived in Minnesota for a while, she's now back in Burlington for her senior year, and we were honored to freeze this special moment in her life. Emma's session turned out to be one for the books, with her expressions and laughter stealing the show. She's undeniably one of the most fun seniors we'v...

Photography is an art form that captures the beauty and complexity of life. It is a way to freeze a moment in time and preserve it forever. As a photographer, you meet many people, and each one of them has a unique story to tell. Nicolas is one such person who has left a lasting impression on me. I remember the day I met Nicolas; he was a bit shy and introverted at first, but I soon learned that he had a fantastic sense of humor. He was genuinely funny, and his smile was infectious. I had to get a little inappropriate with my jokes to make him laugh, but it was worth it. By the end of the shoot, we were both laughing so hard that we practically had tears in our eyes. Nicolas is a cool kid. He played the guitar, and his love for music was evident. Even though I prefer outdoor shots, his studio portraits were outstanding. They blew my mind. Sadly, Nicolas was in an accident recently that left him with some physical challenges. He told me that his balance was off, and we had to be carefu...

Marissa is so adorable with her genuine smile and her amazing laugh!  She was a natural during her senior session, and she looked so amazing!  We met her and her BFF and her mom at 4 corners and Marissa was a little bit shy at first, but it was not long before she was  grinning from ear to ear!  She had such a great attitude and she was fun to be around!  To end the shoot, her grandpa brought his old ratrod to meet up with us in Osage City and it was so unique and such a special treat for her session.  We are just so in love with this beautiful senior shoot!  Thanks for checking it out!

We have always loved when families return to us for sessions, and we were so excited to shoot the youngest Martinek, Addison. She was so amazing one of you will never forget. She is stunningly beautiful and her session did her justice! We started at her grandpa‘s property and our minds were just blown away at how kick butt she did. We got some amazing shots immediately, and some really unique looks!  Her oldest sister helped us with posing and outfits, and we wanted to hire her too! Lol!  With the awesome attitude that Addison has, we look forward to watching her as an adult. What a great smile and cheery personality!!  Thank you for trusting us to take your photos! T.H.
