Austin Grand Canyon State University Class of 2025 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY

Austin’s senior portrait session at Grand Canyon University was one of those days that felt filled with purpose. It wasn’t just about snapping a few pictures; it was about celebrating everything he’s accomplished and the places that shaped his journey. Austin, a GCU Class of 2025 grad in Information Technology and Cybersecurity, brought so much personality to this session, and the campus itself couldn’t have been a better backdrop for his story.

GCU is an oasis in downtown Glendale. From the moment you walk onto campus, you’re greeted by modern architecture, clean lines, and that unmistakable school spirit. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel inspired just by being there. Austin embodied that spirit entirely. Not only did he graduate with a degree in a field that’s in high demand, but he also landed a job with his alma mater right after walking across the stage. Talk about hitting the ground running!

We started the session by exploring some of his favorite spots on campus. First up, the server and computer labs. When it’s a place that holds so much meaning for someone, the vibe is perfect for portraits. Austin spent countless hours there, working on projects that helped him become the IT pro he is today. His enthusiasm for the space made every shot feel authentic. Seeing someone light up while standing next to rows of servers is a vibe all on its own.

Austin’s choice of outfits was spot-on. Nothing stuffy or overly formal—just a collection of looks that were undeniably him. A casual, cool button-up for those relaxed shots, and a crisp, professional outfit that showed he’s ready for whatever challenges his career might throw his way. The balance was perfect. It let his personality shine while also giving his family (and future LinkedIn profile!) those timeless, polished graduation portraits we all love.

The Arizona fall weather was working its magic that day. Cool, sunny, and just enough warmth to make everything pop. The light? Oh, it was a dream! We played with a lot of backlit natural light, giving Austin that soft glow that makes portraits feel alive and full of energy. But we also mixed in some flash to add drama and depth to a few of the shots—especially those in the labs. The combination of natural and artificial light gave us such a great variety of looks, and I couldn’t have been happier with how it all came together.

One of my favorite moments from the day was seeing how proud Austin was of everything he’s accomplished. There’s something about walking through the places where you worked so hard, knowing you’ve reached your goals, that’s incredibly special. Capturing that feeling—the pride, the reflection, the excitement for what’s next—is what makes senior portraits so rewarding.

GCU’s campus provided the perfect mix of inspiration and familiarity for this session. From the iconic GCU signs to the beautiful landscaping and academic buildings, every corner of the campus felt like it had a story to tell. And Austin, with his easy smile and genuine personality, brought those stories to life in a way that felt meaningful and unique.

If you’re considering a senior portrait session in Phoenix, locations like GCU are an amazing option. It’s one of the best places to take senior photos in Arizona, offering a balance of modern design, stunning light, and a connection to your personal journey. Whether you’re wrapping up high school or college, choosing a spot that holds significance to you makes all the difference.

Austin, thank you for letting me document this chapter of your life! Your determination, personality, and enthusiasm for the future made this session unforgettable. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do as you dive into your career—you’re going to crush it!
