It's been a challenging few weeks. As Reagan nears 3 years old, she grows more headstrong, and we butt heads. I always read those quotes about "your child will be twice as stubborn as you" and laughed. Now, I'm a believer.
She is sweet and snuggley, and crazy independent and resilient. And obviously, an awesome, stylish girl.
That girl, she is mine.

I have a lot more than just one photo for this week. We had a little adventure outside last week, looking for lilac bushes. She loved the flowers. She loves the rocks. She is waiting patiently for mud puddles!

She's been wanting a guitar all week. I don't know why, but she has. Of course, my mom found one at the thrift store, and now she walks around the house exclaiming "I'm a rock star!"
Jordan | Senior 2017 | Seaman High School | Topeka, KS Senior Photographer
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had to be put on bed rest at around 30 weeks. In the hospital even. It was a long and boring and mostly uneventful month – minus the whole leaving-with-a-baby thing – but I did manage to make some very good friends with a few of my nurses. One of them was Rhonda.
We set up a time for a Sunday for her son’s senior pictures, and wa-lah.
Jordan is a super smart kid. I say kid, but he will be 18 soon! He is an IT guy so he is very analytical and after talking to him for just a bit, it’s evident that he knows where he wants to go in life.
We went to NOTO (my favorite!) and then to the Equality House and Lake Shawnee. I love that he wanted a variety of places and environments. The colors are great. He was comfortable, and the photos turned out great!
I am looking forward to seeing what he does with his future.
James and Emily | Seniors | 2017 | Topeka, KS Senior Photographer
James and Emily are twins. Not identical (duh). They are also my niece and nephew.
We have been sorta planning their senior pictures since last year when their older brother Michael was graduating. I love that they wanted to come to Topeka so that they would have a different vibe than a lot of their friends, who were mostly shooting in the West Bottoms.
It was a frigid morning, and normally I don’t do well in the cold. Thanks to new thermal shirts, I was just fine. Emily didn’t bat an eye when she was in her strapless dress either. You would think she was in 70 degree weather.
James was not overly enthused about senior photos, but he turned it on when he needed to and got some great shots.
