T.H. Peterson Photography

We had a great time photographing Cooper's senior session. My assistant Daniel and I met up with him at his brother's property, which made the session extra special. I actually photographed his brother there nearly 10 years ago, so it was pretty awesome to be back at the same location again. Cooper is a really nice guy, easy to talk to, and we had a lot of fun getting to know him during the session. Since soccer is such a big part of Cooper's life, we made sure to include that in some of his photos. We were also close to Echo Cliff, one of the most beautiful spots in the area, so we headed down there for part of the session. The weather was absolutely perfect, and having family hanging out nearby made the whole afternoon feel relaxed and enjoyable. It was a great session, and we're excited for Cooper as he heads into his senior year. T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school?

We had a great time photographing Juan from Highland Park High School for his senior portraits. We started at the Capitol and got some really nice photos around the grounds before heading over to the Governor's Mansion. What made this session a little different is that we photographed everything right in the middle of the day. Normally, we like to include some country locations closer to sunset, but the light worked out beautifully and we were able to create some amazing images throughout the entire session. Juan was a lot of fun to photograph. He has a great personality, is very easy to talk to, and is naturally photogenic. The session seemed to fly by as we spent a lot of time talking about his plans after high school and some of the things he enjoys doing. After reading through his interview and hearing about his goals, it's easy to see that he has a solid plan for his future. He's a very impressive young man, and I have no doubt he's going to be successful in whatev...

Kaitlyn’s senior session was such a fun one to photograph from start to finish. We shot her session at Ted Ensley Gardens, and it was the perfect backdrop for her personality. She has a really great smile and such a fun, easygoing energy that made the whole shoot feel relaxed and natural. Her family came along too, and they added to the experience in the best way — lots of laughs, encouragement, and good moments in between shots. We also spent time at Shawnee Lake, and it couldn’t have looked better. Everything was vibrant and green, and the skies were really colorful and full of life that day. Kaitlyn was completely down to try anything we suggested, which made it easy to get a wide variety of photos. Looking back through her gallery, you can really see all the happy, genuine emotions we were able to capture throughout her session.    T.H. P.: What are your plans after high school? Kaitlyn: Hopefully go to college for psychology and criminology. T.H. P.:   First thing...

Axton, a Silver Lake High School senior, had an awesome session with us! We started downtown and got some really cool shots with the old buildings—he had great expressions and was super laid back the whole time. The weather was perfect, and the industrial, grungy spots made for some really cool photos. Then we headed to the nearby lake and captured some beautiful shots with the setting sun. Overall, it was a fun session and we got so many great images to celebrate Axton’s senior year! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Axton: Enlist in the Air Force T.H.
