Roxy 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Portraits | Phoenix Az
/
We enjoyed the last of the cool breezes in Arizona for Roxy's senior portrait session. And what a gorgeous day with a gorgeous senior! This Chapparel Class of 2020 grad was ready to celebrate the end of her grade school career...and the end of an 'interesting' senior year to say the least! We chased the golden sunshine across the Phoenix skyline from Heritage Square to Steele Indian School Park accumulating in an amazing sunset over the Steele fountain. She rocked her session with five killer outfits and amazing smiles! Congratulations Roxy, on your accomplishments graduating from high school and on your next adventures!
Class of 2020 senior skip day champions- event cancellations do not mean you have to miss everything about senior year! Find the joy and zoom your friends- virtual games and hugs- get through these uncertain times together! When things are back to 'normal' and it is safe, we can reschedule and plan those special events as much as possible. If prom and graduation are permanently on hold- we can always have an amazing portrait session in your formals and caps and gowns when it is safe for everyone. This is a momentous time in history- it will be talked about for generations. Feeling broken-hearted that so much has changed- from sudden goodbyes to realizing the last time you were on campus already happened- that is normal. It's ok to feel grief, to mourn that loss. Know that like these hard times, that sadness and grief will not last. Be gentle with yourselves, know you are loved. Do what you can from online learning to personal enrichment, to naps or tik toks and Animal Crossing to take care of yourselves. Find ways to have peace and serenity. Journal these moments in writing, video, or art. You still have the power to make positive memories. With the stay at home order lifted in Arizona, hopefully, we reduced the curve to allow for better care for all and are all better equipped to fight this pandemic and win....the news can be scary and overwhelming, but I am constantly uplifted by stories of people helping each other, lifting each other up, and the essential workers from health care and first responders to grocery employees who are saving lives! In all the shuffle to prepare and social distance, the Class of 2020 experienced a tremendous loss. Health and safety are paramount- but the memories of a senior year lost have also been traumatic. Senior year memories are something many folks carry with them their whole lifetime. These seniors won’t have all of them. They shouldn’t have to lose all of their senior year experiences - I am so thankful that with a long lens outside I am able to provide one important of the big year- senior pictures 🧡 Stay safe 2020- you matter no matter what has happened. Your achievements have NOT changed just because the circumstances around them have!
