Samantha Sandra Day O'Connor Class of 2022 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography
/
Samantha, a senior at Sandra Day O’Connor High, has such a cool story. Her family decided to leave the freezing winters of Illinois behind and move to Arizona. And wow, did Samantha fit right in! She jumped right into the Phoenix marching and concert bands, and dance to become a key player, especially with her saxophone skills.
Colleges noticed her talent and were eager to get her on their teams. But Samantha chose to stay in Arizona, joining the NAU Lumberjack band. It’s clear she loves it here and wants to keep making music in the Grand Canyon State.
I first met Samantha during a photo session with the Eagle Pride Marching Band. She stood out right away, not just because she’s talented but because she’s so bubbly and confident. Samantha has this energy that just makes everyone around her happy. I was also lucky enough to see her dance in performance with the Winterguard team.
For her senior photos, we picked Anthem, AZ, and Sunset Point. Anthem has some really pretty spots, perfect for capturing Samantha’s lively spirit. Then we went to Sunset Point, which was amazing with its golden grasses and the sun setting behind the mountains. The light was perfect, giving a warm glow that made Samantha’s smile shine even more.
Samantha’s fashion sense is spot on. She picked outfits that were bright and stylish, just like her. One of my favorite looks was a short flowy baby-blue dress . Another standout was her white and blue floral, but honestly my favorite was the casual jeans and yellow bc it was really cute, perfect for the relaxed Arizona vibe. Of course, we had to include her saxophone in some shots, showing off her love for music.
Mom’s make the best lighting assistants!! Thank you Dena for helping on top of this windy mountain <3
Samantha was a natural in front of the camera. She posed effortlessly, and her bubbly personality made the whole session fun. We had a lot of laughs, and it felt more like hanging out than a photo shoot. She was great at turning little challenges, like curious bugs or gusts of wind, into fun moments.
As the sun set, the landscape changed, and each photo captured a different side of Samantha—her joy, her thoughtful side, her excitement for what’s next. The pictures are more than just photos; they show who Samantha is and where she’s heading.
For all the high school seniors and parents out there, senior photos are more than just a milestone. They capture a special time in your life, showing your personality and your journey. Samantha’s photos do just that. They’re not just about her senior year; they’re a celebration of her journey and her bright future with the NAU Lumberjack band.
I love getting to know seniors and their families, and being a part of such important milestones & memories, Samantha’s photos make me smile. Each one tells a part of her story, from Illinois to Arizona, her love for music, and her bright future. Samantha, you’re amazing, and it was so much fun capturing these moments for you.
To all the seniors, pick places and themes that show who you are. Whether it’s a spot with great memories or one that reflects your dreams, let your senior photos be a true reflection of you. And most importantly, have fun with it! Your senior year is a time to celebrate, and your photos should show that joy and excitement.
And that’s a wrap! 📸✨ What a fantastic session with Samantha. From the beautiful spots in Anthem to the stunning views at Sunset Point, it was a day filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Here’s to celebrating the end of high school and the amazing adventures ahead! Cheers to making memories that last a lifetime. 🌵🎷🎓
