5 Months to Make the most of Senior Year! | Senior Pictures near me, Phoenix Arizona
I’m here to help you navigate through this incredible year with a handy timeline and checklist to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Let’s dive into the must-dos for your senior year, from scheduling your senior portraits with me to marking those all-important yearbook dates and planning for special occasions like homecoming and prom.
Y’all, Senior year of high school is such an exciting time, filled with milestones, memories, and a lot to prepare for. I’m here to help you navigate through this incredible year with a handy timeline and checklist to make sure you don’t miss a thing. I remember being a first time senior parent and just barely making some of these dates despite my first senior being very organized and prepared- because you don’t know if you don’t know!
Let’s dive into the must-dos for your senior year, from scheduling your senior portraits with me to marking those all-important yearbook dates and planning for special occasions like homecoming and prom.
August - September: Kick Off the Year Right!
Get Organized: Start by getting a planner or calendar to keep track of important dates and deadlines. some schools provide them or great tracking apps.
Schedule Senior Portraits: One of the first things you’ll want to do is schedule your senior portraits with me. These photos are a major milestone, and we want to capture you at your best! Click here to book your session.
Schedule Yearbook Picture: You do need to make an appointment, usually with Dorian Studio or Grads, for the yearbook photo. No, you do not have to go to *JUST* the school yearbook photographer. BUT I THINK YOU’LL WANT TO DO BOTH! More about that here
Join Clubs and Activities: Get involved in school clubs and extracurricular activities. It’s a great way to make the most of your last year.
College Planning: Start researching colleges, preparing for the SAT/ACT, and planning college visits if you have not already. Remeber not every post graduation adventure has to be college! Take time to think about something you love doing, that you automatically go to and can do for hours without making yourself concentrate- it just feels natural and you get lost in it…then research places to further explore that interest. You really might be surprised what options are out there that do not involve a student loan. Colelege is fantastic, if it takes you to the path you want, or if you are not sure what that path is but know that classes excited you. But everyone has a different path and there are also amazing schools for music, art, mechanics, and other things that will help you find your passion and get you paid to do what you love too.
October - November: Capture the Moments
Homecoming: Homecoming is a special time, and you’ll want to capture it! Schedule a mini-session for homecoming photos. Trust me, these memories are worth it.
Yearbook Photos: Make sure you know the deadlines for your yearbook photos. Submit your senior portraits and any other required photos on time.
Start College Applications: Begin working on your college applications. Keep track of deadlines and make sure to get letters of recommendation from your teachers.
Senior Portraits: If you haven’t already, get your senior portraits done! We’ll create beautiful, timeless photos that you’ll cherish forever. Book your session here.
December - January: Mid-Year Checkpoint
Finalize College Applications: Complete and submit all your college applications. Double-check everything to make sure it’s perfect.
Holiday Photos: Consider scheduling a holiday-themed photo session with your friends or family. It’s a fun way to celebrate the season and make lasting memories.
Check Yearbook Deadlines: Make sure all your photos and entries for the yearbook are submitted. This includes senior quotes, baby photos, and any club or activity photos, and senior ads.
Cap and Gown: Order your cap and gown for graduation. It might seem early, but it’s better to be prepared.
Senior Portraits Reminder: If you still haven’t scheduled your senior portraits, now is the time! Don’t wait any longer to capture these special moments.
February - March: Focus on Fun
Plan for Prom: Start planning for prom. Schedule your prom photoshoot with me to ensure you get beautiful, professional photos of this unforgettable night.
Spring Break Plans: Make the most of your spring break. Whether you’re traveling or staying local, consider scheduling a fun photoshoot to capture your adventures.
Stay on Top of Schoolwork: Keep up with your studies. It’s easy to get distracted with all the fun events, but staying focused is key.
April - May: The Home Stretch
Prom Night: Enjoy your prom night to the fullest! Schedule a pre-prom photoshoot to capture you and your friends in your glamorous outfits.
Senior Activities: Participate in all the senior activities and events your school offers. These are moments you’ll treasure.
Prepare for Graduation: Make sure you have everything you need for graduation day. Check the dates and plan your family celebrations.
Final Senior Portraits: If you want a few last-minute senior photos in your cap and gown, schedule a quick session. It’s a wonderful way to wrap up your senior year.
June: Celebrate and Reflect
Graduation Day: This is your big day! Enjoy every moment and take plenty of photos with family and friends.
Thank You Notes: Send thank you notes to teachers, mentors, and anyone who helped you along the way.
Summer Fun: Celebrate your achievements over the summer. Plan trips, hang out with friends, and make the most of your time before college.
Timeline Checklist
August: Get organized, schedule senior portraits, join clubs, start college planning

Kaitlyn Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
Hey senior squad! SO goofy sounding hahah. ANYWAYS…Picture this: senior year is winding down, the future beckons, and you're ready to capture all the feels in epic photos. Well, that's exactly what Kaitlyn, a soon-to-be college music major and Mountain Ridge High School grad, did with her Adventure package senior session! We traded the familiar hallways for the majestic Glanis Sand Dunes in Brawley, California, and the results were pure magic.
In Arcadia - Instrumental by Field of Giants artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/in-arcadia/77642
For the past four years, Kaitlyn's been a rockstar (well, technically a bass clarinetist!) in the Mountain Ridge Wind Ensemble and Marching Band. Remember the band that keeps on winning State competition? Yep, Kaitlyn was right there in the heart of it all, leading her section with passion and precision. I’m blessed to have been there to document a lot of it and watch her grow! That's right, yours truly! Seeing her dedication and musicality translate from the field to her future at GCC and NAU is truly inspiring.
Kaitlyn came prepared for her session with a wardrobe mix of casual and dressy, each outfit reflecting a different facet of her personality. Comfy jeans for that laid-back vibe, a flowy dresses that danced in the desert breeze, and even a stunning gown that transformed the dunes into a high-fashion runway. It wasn't just about looking good (though let's be honest, she rocked every single look!), it was about showcasing the many sides of Kaitlyn – the musician, the adventurer, the future music major ready to conquer the world.
Kaitlyn's fashion was epic. Having 3-5 well-chosen outfits that reflect your personality is key. Just one or two outfit changes can feel limiting during a session. Finding the sweet spot is important.‘
Senior portraits are more than just photos; they're a time capsule of this unforgettable chapter in your life. This year, my calendar filled up by mid-February, so many seniors missed their chance to shine. Don't let that happen to you! Book your session early to secure your spot and capture the magic of senior year.
Let Anjeanette Photography Capture Your Senior Story!
We can't wait to collaborate with you and create a session that's as unique and unforgettable as you are. Contact Anjeanette Photography today to schedule your consultation and start planning your dream senior portrait session! Let's make your senior year the perfect melody!

2023 AzMBA Division I Championships | Phoenix Marching Band Photographer Anjeanette Photography
I was so honored to be a part of the AzMBA team for group photography at the Division I Championships! Thank you for having me, and thank you to Mountain Pointe High for hosting the competition. Congratulations to all the bands on an amazing season! Go band!
The Arizona Marching Band Association Division I Championships crackled with electric energy, the culmination of months of tireless practice and unwavering dedication. And at the heart of it all, amidst the booming brass, thundering drums, and dazzling visuals, I had the incredible privilege of capturing each AzMBA marching bands group portraits.
From the moment I stepped onto the Mountain Pointe High campus I was swept up in the whirlwind of band spirit. The air hummed with a symphony of anticipation, uniforms crisply pressed, instruments gleaming under the sun. Faces, etched with nervous excitement, transformed into fierce determination as the first notes soared skyward. As the AzMBA team marched onto the field, a collective roar from the stands ignited the atmosphere, setting the stage for a performance etched in memory.
To all of the bands marching and performing at the AzMBA championships this year with such heart and fire, let these photographs be a lasting ode to your season. A testament to the countless hours, the tireless dedication, the unwavering spirit that defines the marching band experience.
And to the parents, the families, the supporters who cheer from the sidelines, let these portraits capture the essence of your child's passion. See the joy in their eyes, the pride in their stance, the sheer dedication radiating from every note they play. These are the moments that make it all worth it, the culmination of years of practice, the reward for every early morning and late-night rehearsal.
This was more than just a day of photography. It was a celebration of music, of teamwork, of the human spirit soaring on the wings of melody. And I am deeply honored to have been a part of it.
Congratulations, AzMBA, and to all the bands who competed. Your music resonated deeply, and your passion is an inspiration. As the final strains of the championship fade, these photographs remain a testament to your season, a legacy for generations to come. Let the music play on!

Shadow Mountain Marching Matadors | Band and Team banners & photography by Anjeanette Photography
It was so unbelievably hot the day of SMHS band photos, however, with the first home game just days away we couldn’t wait for the weather to improve. Composite portrait to save the day! The biggest pro of a composite team photo, after the fact that it just looks so cool, is that every single band member is perfectly in focus and easily identified. No more using a magnifying glass to hunt for your blurry kiddo!
I love being a part of the Marching Matadors memories! It is such a fun day, no matter the temperature, for celebrating the kids and all their hard work, and getting fierce game day banners and photo memories for parents and friends!
…and some fun buddy photos too!

Shadow Mountain High School | Epic Paradise Valley Teams!
SHADOW MOUNATIN MARCHING MATADORS BAND
One of my favorite bands in Arizona! I wanted to wait to share until we could do more in person photos but this band’s director is serious about their safety above all so with this weird and wild year that has been 2020 we may not get another chance to get together for those- hence the composite group photo above! Yep, those are all separate images I stitched together so the kids could have a sense of a senior group photo in uniform.
The Marching Matador boosters led by Carleton and Sara Hawkins found me a few years ago on Google, and we fast became good friends. Sara is a champion of all the arts and is an amazing above and beyond supporter of my work and all-around great lady. She does so much for her daughter’s band, the Phoenix Youth Symphony, friends and family, and a bunch of other groups I can’t even name! She even came to different Shadow Mountain team sessions to assist me for picture days! Sara and her family mean so much to me, and I know how much the band program means to her and her family. It is a bittersweet year indeed with her girl graduating. I will miss seeing her every fall for picture day- but hopefully will see her around many more places instead! She is a rare and precious person indeed!
Congratulations Marching Matadors Class of 2021!
Congrats to the Class of 2021 | Sandra Day O'Connor Eagle Pride Marching Band | Senior Banners!
Some of the seniors from the Eagle Pride band asked me to make their Senior Night Banners! Since my daughter graduated and all the craziness of the world befell us, I have missed seeing these young people and watching their program grow!! It was a super-secret night planned by their parents where their class is celebrated. I’m positive they had no idea why they came to my home studio for portraits right ;) Some parents make gorgeous, elaborate signs, so I am so honored that a group of parents asked me out for these 48”x36” vinyl poster for their students! I know how much this meant to me as a former EP parent to have one for my girl her last year in the program <3
I am just so glad they get to have their senior night after all the disappointments and events lost out on!! I pray for better healthier days for all of us and the very best for the class of 2021 as they tackle their new adventures!!!
2019 Fall Marching Band Season Scrapbook | SDOHS SMHS
I have been in love with the marching arts for over 20 years- and this fall was no exception. Proud to have helped capture memories for Deer Valley School Districts Sandra Day O’Connor and District Invitational, as well as Paradise Valley Schools districts Shadow Mountain Marching Matadors! Can’t wait to start taking more keepsakes for bands in fall 2020!
The Marching Matadors
Proud of the Shadow Mountain High School Marching Matadors for finishing a successful season! The marching band performs at school pep assemblies, varsity football games (home and away), parades, and marching band invitationals and festivals. This year under the direction of Santa Clara Vanguard alumn Natan Simon, thay ended their season in November by being selected after state preliminaries for the 2019 ABODA State Marching Band Championship Super State Competition performing with marching bands from across the state of Arizona. This year's show was a fun alien-themed performance titled "Keep Looking Up" Every year this Paradise Valley high school band gets better and better, I can’t wait to see what they do next year!
Eagle Pride Band
Congratulations to the Eagle Pride Marching band on a successful marching season with their show "Wanderlust" under the direction of new fine Arts Music Director Amy Frost. The Sandra Day O'Connor high band trained from early July and back into back in Super State completion to complete their season, finishing 6th in the state of Arizona. This year Anjeanette Photography partnered with the OC band boosters to donated the design, photography, and printing for all 21 senior banners- the first time the band had banners on the main football field fences alongside Cheer, Pom, Football. It was fantastic to see the senior's faces as they saw their faces under the Friday Night Lights! there are a lot of kids on the field on Friday nights from Sports Therapy students to the student yearbook staff and teams...everyone out there is working hard and deserves recognition! I had a great time following the team as a part of the OC Media Team headed by Scott & Tracy Benjamin. My own daughter was a marching senior- so although I love all the kids I was above and beyond proud to see her perform from the sidelines. Wonderful memories were made for 200 plus students, parents, and staff. Excited to see where you go next- Go Eagles!

Deer Valley Unified School District Marching Band invitational 2019 | ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
The 2019 Band Invitational was such a success! Beautiful evening, beautiful music. Love seeing all the kids from all the awesome Deer Valley schools cheer each other on! Regardless of what happens on the field of competition, the high school marching bands of Deer Valley Unified School District- and all marching bands really, are comrades. they lift each other up, they cheer for each other, they applaud solos and get excited about guard tosses and intricate dot maneuvers. Marching band is more than just a sport- and yes its a sport look it up- it’s a team-building experience that positively leads young people and teaches them to be leaders. Go band!
Smoke Bomb Grenades | Add some fun colour and drama to your Phoenix senior portraits! | Anjeanette Photography Peoria, Az
There is just something so epic about being enveloped in an aesthetic cloud of colour!
Long-time staple of the extreme sports and paintball worlds, smoke grenades took off as stunning photo props several years ago. And the products colours, consistency, and length of time you get to shoot while one release keeps getting more awesome!
It's important that my seniors keep in mind that I have to follow important safety rules when using them- they fall into the same category as fireworks so I need to be sure to only use them in seasons when it is legal to use fireworks. In Phoenix, it is legal to set off novelty fireworks such as sparklers or smoke bombs in safe areas- like asphalt or concrete away from flammables. They can stain so keeping them away from garments or surfaces that are vulnerable (parking lots are perfect for smoke grenades) Regardless of the season or time of year I never use them in natural areas near grass, trees, etc- it's Arizona and basically almost always dry. I have used them on rocks if there is no brush, weeds, or sticks of any kind within a 100-foot radius. They are also expensive- they kind I use puts out a LOT of gorgeous amazing smoke and colour- but at $12 each for approximately 60-90 seconds we have to make every second of them count, and I only offer one per session if it is in an appropriate area.

“Anjeanette Photography shot individual and group Sr. Pics for the Thundering Herd Marching Band this fall. I was very impressed with the consistency of the pics, creative setup shots and her editing process for final prints. My daughter liked working with Anjeanette for this group and individual poses. If you are looking for something that is outside the normal Anjeanette is for you. She is a photographer with the eye of an artist. ”
