Meeting baby Rhett was such a joy. He was one of the smiliest newborns I've ever photographed! We see plenty of sweet little smirks during newborn sessions, but Rhett gave us big, genuine smiles that looked like he was dreaming about something absolutely hilarious. He was so relaxed and content the entire session, making it easy to capture so many precious moments. Mom, Dad, and his big sister joined him, and it was obvious right away how much love fills this family. One of my favorite parts of the session was watching Rhett's big sister with him. Mom told me she absolutely adores her little brother and even thinks of him as "her baby," and she definitely proved it. She was so excited to hold him and did an amazing job, which isn't always easy for toddlers during newborn sessions. She was the sweetest little girl with the biggest head of beautiful blonde hair, and she completely stole the show. Seeing the four of them together made for such meaningful family portr...

There was something so special about Tru's newborn session. She was an absolute sweetheart from start to finish so calm, so content, and happy to be gently posed throughout the session. She gave us the cutest little smirks and the sweetest expressions that made every image feel even more precious. We also captured some beautiful portraits with Mom making the session even more meaningful and creating memories their family will treasure for years to come. One of my favorite moments came at the end when Mom saw her photos for the first time. Watching her fall in love with the images and seeing how much they meant to her is one of the best parts of what I do. Tru was such a joy to photograph, and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Here are a few of our favorite moments from her session! T.H. Peterson: What did you think when you first saw Tru? Tatum: It wasn’t an easy journey, but the moment I saw your face, nothing else mattered. My first thought was, “There you are.” ...

Kennedy's senior session was one of those sessions that reminds me why I love photographing seniors so much. She attends Seaman High School, and from the moment we started, she was absolutely incredible in front of the camera. Her outfits were stunning, and she has such a vibrant personality that every location felt completely different. We ended up doing a longer senior sessions, which isn't something we do very often, but it gave us the opportunity to visit several different locations and create an amazing amount of variety. Instead of spending a long time in one place, we kept moving, and every stop gave us something new and unique. My favorite part of the session was our trip to Lake Wabaunsee. We photographed at the waterfall, the flooded road, and the beach, and every single location seemed to give us another incredible backdrop. The sunset and skies that evening were absolutely beautiful, and it felt like every few minutes we were creating another favorite image. Kennedy...

Brayden and his family made the trip down from Omaha for his senior session, even though they're originally from the Topeka area. We actually had to split his session into two days because it started raining during the first one. At the time it was a little disappointing, but it ended up working out for the best. We were able to photograph in several completely different locations, from downtown streets and a grungy industrial look to beautiful architecture and finally the Kansas River. The extra time gave us even more variety, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Brayden was so easy to photograph. He has a great personality, was confident in front of the camera, and brought a lot of different styles that really fit each location. Whether we were showing his love for show choir, his fashion sense, or just capturing who he is, every part of the session felt natural. His mom came along too, and since she's a photographer herself and has even helped us wit...
