Brady Paradise Valley Christian Class of 2025 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
Brady’s senior portrait session was packed with adventure, personality, and just the right amount of Arizona sunshine. This Paradise Valley Christian senior brought a BMX bike, dirt ramps, and his chill vibe to the Peoria Desert—and dang, did it all come together! The whole day felt like a celebration, not just of Brady’s accomplishments, but of who he is: smart, fun, talented, and ready for the future.
Brady chose the mini session - which I literally designed around guys who just want photos for their mama and not a huge long hassle. I def don’t think longer sessions are hassles 😂 but photos are my thing, if they are NOT your thing the short and sweet mini is the way to go! Brady didn’t want 200 photos or more than a couple of outfits so the mini was the perfect fit.
Just because it’s a quick session doesn’t mean it has to be boring though- the Peoria Desert Preserve was the perfect backdrop for Brady’s session. There’s something about the desert’s raw beauty—the rugged terrain, the muted tones, and the way the light dances through the brush—that makes every photo feel timeless. But this wasn’t your typical desert shoot. Brady had a vision, and it included his BMX bike and the dirt ramps tucked away in the Peoria Preserve. Yes, we hit the ramps, and yes, it was amazing!
We started the session as the late afternoon light softened, creating that golden, dreamy glow photographers adore. Brady was totally in his element, and it showed in every frame. Whether he was casually leaning on his bike or catching air over the ramps, he brought an easy confidence to the shoot. It’s always exciting when seniors bring something personal to their session—it makes the photos so much more than portraits. They become a snapshot of who you are at this moment in your life.
What stood out to me most about Brady was how effortlessly cool and laid-back he was. He didn’t overthink the poses or try to put on a show; he just was. That kind of authenticity is what makes senior pictures unforgettable.
One of my favorite parts of the day was how we incorporated movement into the shoot. Brady’s BMX bike wasn’t just a prop—it was part of the action. Whether he was mid-jump or casually rolling across the frame, those moments added energy and excitement to the session. And let’s be honest, it’s not every day you get to photograph a senior doing BMX tricks in the middle of the desert.
The Peoria Preserve’s dirt ramps were a hidden gem. I’m 90% sure the ramps were created by neighborhood kids and they get more elaborate and kick ass every year! They gave us this incredible mix of textures—the soft desert sand, the rugged dirt trails between Saguaro Cacti, and the wide-open sky overhead. It was the kind of location that makes you want to shoot there every day. As the session wrapped up, the sun dipped lower, casting long shadows and turning the sky into a canvas of soft pinks and oranges. Those final moments were pure magic. Brady stood with his bike against the backdrop of the desert sunset, and it felt like the perfect closing chapter to his senior portraits.
Senior year is such an exciting time. It’s full of possibilities, reflection, and—let’s be honest—a little chaos. Capturing that in a way that feels personal and true is what makes senior portrait sessions so special. For Brady, it was all about blending his love for BMX, his laid-back personality, and the beauty of Arizona. And together, we created images that are as unique as he is.
If you’re thinking about your own senior portraits and wondering where to start, locations like the Peoria Desert are a fantastic choice. It’s one of the best places to take senior photos in Arizona, offering versatility, natural beauty, and endless possibilities for creativity. Whether you’re into sports, fashion, or something completely unexpected, we can create a session that feels just right for you.

Brady, you crushed this session! From the dirt ramps to the golden light, every moment felt like it captured who you are right now. Here’s to finishing senior year strong and chasing big dreams—you’ve got this!

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
September: Continue with college research, finalize senior portrait session
October: Homecoming photos, submit yearbook photos, start college applications
November: Complete senior portraits, finish college applications
December: Submit college applications, schedule holiday photo sessions, order cap and gown
January: Finalize senior portraits if not done yet
February: Plan for prom, spring break photos, check yearbook deadlines

Abby Class of 2022 | Phoenix Senior Pictures Anjeanette Photography
Congratulations Abby on your graduation!! Soon you will be bidding Shadow Ridge goodbye and off to new adventures and challenges to conquer in the great North!!! Abby wanted senior portraits with that red rock Sedona vibe and Tonto Forest always delivers! She is a force of nature in more ways than one- so nature was the perfect place to match her energetic personality and beautiful smiles! I loved getting to know this Shadow Ridge Heptathlete- forever impressed!!!
😍Thank you again for these amazing pics! We absolutely adore them! You captured Abby’s strength and femininity in all the elements (surroundings) she wanted… perfectly!
Good luck this next senior season. We will see you when Hailey (the little one) is a senior and when Abby graduates college:) - Abby’s mom Jodi

During #seniorpicture #MarchMadness (the busiest senior season in Arizona) it’s hard to stay up to date with many shoots and edits and videos I am working on (sometimes at the same time?!?!) …but it is REALLY hard to wait when you have a senior as awesome and cool as Ash 🧡 Just wait until you see her sweet freckles glow in the next set *swoon*

BFF'S JAVIER & JESSICA | BARRY GOLDWATER HIGH CLASS OF 2022 | PHOENIX SENIOR PICTURES BY ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
They say BFFs are always in step with each other, but I think its an extra level up that your so in sync you always step off LEFT and in perfect time with each other. Band best friends are truly for life, and Jessica and Javier are no exception!
This amazing Goldwater Bulldog trumpet player so impressed me with his friendliness, smarts, & sharp-dressed style- thanks for a great session J!
Beauty! Lovely day in the garden for a kick ass #BFF Phoenix senior session! Jessica, you were a dream- fantastic job, so comfortable natural in front of the camera!
Are you old enough to remember the old Reese’s peanut butter cup commercials? “Two great tastes that taste great together” - well that sums up BFF sessions perfectly! The Best Friend Package is perfect for friends who want photos of themselves and their besties, share a video memory with a reel & a tik tok, and it evens up being half the price of a full Action Package session for each of them! It’s everything that a Action 2 hour package has to offer- shared with the person that was there as they grew up navigating the …interesting and sometimes challenging waters of high school!
Jacob Class of 22 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix senior pictures
Sometimes guys are hesitant to take senior photos, not sure what they will do or ow to stand or feel awkward- but they can be the best sessions! I always tell them don’t worry I’ll tell you how to pose- and after a few minutes we get comfortable and they start killing it. It’s not weird or dumb to get portraits guys. Its just a fun as you make it- you will look awesome, and whats the harm in expressing yourself and feeling great about yourself?
Now I would never know if this guy had any hesitations about portraits because Jacob was killing it with great looks all around downtown like a model! He took to it very naturally and looks amazing because of that willingness to get into it. Rocked it, crushed it, killed it, swag, sheeesh anyway you say it Jacob did it! What an awesome session! This guy hits different and def has senior guy style!

Maria Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona
I am so thankful Maria and I finally got to get together for a safe in the sun social distancing senior session before she heads off to Rice University! The Class of 2020 has had a wild ride navigating a whole new world of pandemics and epidemics. Marias is ready to debate and lead the Z Generation to victory!
Normally of course we would already be way past senior season! I really wanted to extend it and make some extra spots after all these young folks have had to deal with this unique and challenging year from fears for health and safety, to raising their voices for equality. After everything else they didn’t have to miss out on senior portraits. The best is yet to come have no doubt seniors. Right now you are shaping the future... I cannot wait to see how you change the world for the better. But I will wait day by day bc obvs thats how time works hahaha!
Maria had her sunrise session last week - when the desert morning air is a little cooler and the sun is brighter! She brought music, books, laughter, and all the smiles! Desert sunrise morning sessions are fantastic for light and airy looks and glittery sands! Congratulations Maria on all of your amazing accomplishments!!! A very bright future awaits!

Harrison & Kylie Shadow Mountain Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona
What a year 2020 has been- and it is only March! WOW, when we were taking these we had no idea what was to come in the next few weeks! The worries were far away and spring break had just begun... So thankful I was able to go ahead with this long ago scheduled duo senior pictures session before Covid-19 social distancing quarantine began! So much uncertainty and worry. Despite all the challenges we are facing now and may face in the near future, memories of our most valuable moments are important- they are worth holding onto.
Kylie and Harrison are high school sweethearts who wanted their senior pictures taken together. We walked around the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens on a golden light filled afternoon, capturing portraits of each of them separately and together in the cactus blooms of spring. We had fun laughing and posing, and smiling in the bright sunshine. While some things may be uncertain in the immediate now, in the fall these two are headed to ASU and the Navy with bright futures ahead! Their bond and these moments will not be forgotten. Both families are good friends, so joint sessions together was an obvious choice for them, making sure to ask me for photos of them altogether.
Class of 2020 -Hang in there. No words can replace prom or the end of your school year, but know that there will be light at the end of this terrible tunnel we are in. The future is yours and you will ROCK whatever comes next.
I love you all!
“There are fields of Gold behind the little house
Filled with the greatest of treasures
Bronze, Gold and Silver
Do you remember?
Remember our childhood, Our life’s
The shinning Silver sparkling in the skies
The brightest Bronze hidden under the ground
The greatest Gold glimmering through the fields
Can you see them?
Picture it in your mind
All the times we danced
Every time we laughed
Where we used to love
Or have you forgotten?
Forgotten the good, Forgotten the bad
Every memory
Every moment
Every word
I wish you’d remember
To turn back time, So you could take me
Take me to the gold
To the fields on a summers day
To our fields, our treasure
The Silver, The Bronze
The Gold
But the treasures gone
The house still remains
The fields just as empty as the day we left
Times have changed
Our life’s have changed
Our Silver gone dull
Our Bronze all rusted
Our Gold long forgotten
It was never there
The winds of time and turns of the earth have seen to that
But I remember
I cry for the children who found the greatest of treasures and those who lost it so soon after
And I dream of dancing and singing and running and laughter, of the treasures that lie in the fields of Gold.”
Julia Class of 2020 | Peoria Arizona Senior Pictures by Anjeanette Photography Phoenix (Copy)
The mountains called Julia! Something adventurous and unusual- so we took a road trip to Rock Springs and Sunset Point for epic views and sunkissed wind in the hair moments. Julia is one of the esteemed Drum Majors at O'Connor, who helped lead her band in their return to Super State competition this fall. This spring she is performing in Regional concert band performances and auditioning for college music programs as a flutist.
Rock Springs (otherwise known as the "Pie Rest Stop" had little surprises around every corner, cute vignettes set up for weddings and events, tiny caves, and a mountain top view in the back. As well as excellent cream pie according to Julia and her family! After a little while, we raced the sun to the long grasses and vista just north of Sunset Point rest stop. It is no wonder why this spot is a favorite for photographers around the valley and beyond- and it was the perfect place to capture senior portraits of Julia who loves nature and the wind in her hair. It was chilly, but the warm glow of a deep sunset kept us warm enough until just after blue hour when we were able to get amazing views and sunbursts into the sky. I have often driven by this spot and longed for a session there each time. So happy that Julia felt the call of the long golden grasses there too and chose me to get photos of this special time in her life- graduating high school!
Project Lunacy | Shutterfest Photography conference | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix
Took a few days off for the Project Lunacy photography conference sponsored by Shutter Magazine & Shutterfest created by Salvatore Cincotta Photography. There is always more to learn and new ways to grow by challenging your work as a photographer and artist through photography education, connecting with vendors, and networking with other professionals. I brought my own gear, but everyone also had an opportunity to use the Profoto B10 & B10 Plus - and while I love my Flashpoints it was nice to experiment with some other industry leaders in off-camera flash.
I had the chance to spend the first day in small groups at the Superstition Mountains with Sal himself, as well as ProPhoto reps and instructors, then spent day two soaking up Photoshop knowledge and gel lighting tips with instructor David Byrd. A fantastic way to get reinspired and amped up for part two of the fall & holiday season- and cannot WAIT to hone new techniques in this springs Senior season!

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.
Oonagh's Adventure Senior Portraits | Phoenix senior picture photographer | Anjeanette PhotographyArizona
It’s my babies senior year and I just may have gone a little overboard with senior pictures! But can you really go overboard? Nah! My girl is an outside of the box dreamer, with music and art in her heart always- we wanted to plan a fun trip that also expressed her personality and charm!
I actually like to keep my packages pretty simple! 30mins for the more camera shy senior, two hours with a mini senior movie (the most popular), and the travel Adventure package!
For my daughter’s road trip session we started from Phoenix to Palm Springs, California. The next day we hit Newport Beach and Balboa Pier, then onto a day in Los Angeles where we visited The Last Bookstore - has to be seen by any book lover- and the MOCA. Another day on the beach at El Matador and La Piedra for gorgeous sea spray and sand. We popped by the Rose Bowl to catch a DCI drum corps show one day, then we were off to one of my bucket list photo session spots: the Nelson Nevada Ghost Town and Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours!
SO are YOU up for an adventure for your Senior Portrait Experience?? Its more possible and affordable than you might think! What adventure calls to you?
So this collection of photos is what my “Adventure Package” looks like- travel and unlimited outfits and poses! You can find out more about all my packages here:
It was hot when we got home to Phoenix- so indoor studio marching band portraits of course! I am so thankful she puts up with me :)
I had so much fun building this puzzle on Instagram to feature
Oonagh’s senior picture adventure!
