I'm thrilled to share Logan’s senior mini portrait session in Phoenix, AZ. Logan, a senior from Arcadia High School, celebrated his graduation with a quick but unforgettable portrait session at my favorite desert location. It was an afternoon filled with laughter, stunning scenery, and a few surprises that made the session even more magical.
From the moment Logan arrived, I knew this session was going to be a blast. He brought along a sick pair of Ray-Bans that added a cool, edgy vibe to his look. LOVE IT! We started off with some classic poses, capturing Logan’s confident smile against the beautiful desert backdrop. The sun was shining, the light was perfect, and Logan was a natural in front of the camera.
As we moved through the session, we mixed things up with some candid shots. Logan walking through the desert, the sunlight catching his hair just right – it was all so perfect. And let me tell you, those Ray-Bans? Total game-changer. They added a touch of style to every shot, making Logan look like he stepped right out of a fashion magazine.
Then, as if the day couldn’t get any better, a monsoon storm started brewing right at the end of Logan’s session. Now, if you know anything about Arizona, you know how rare and spectacular these storms can be. The sky started to change, with dark clouds rolling in, creating a dramatic backdrop for the final shots. Oh man, I’m so glad we stuck around!
The storm brought a refreshing coolness to the air, and the desert began to transform. The colors of the landscape became more vibrant, and the energy was electric. We took advantage of this incredible setting to capture some stunning sunset portraits. Logan, standing tall with the dramatic sky behind him, was a sight to behold. The way the sunset lit up the clouds and reflected off his Ray-Bans was a whole vibe. This glow is a whole vibe!
One of the best moments was when the rain finally started to fall. We quickly found shelter, but not before getting a few shots of Logan with raindrops adding a unique touch to the photos. His smile, mixed with the dramatic weather, made for some truly unforgettable images. It’s these spontaneous moments that make every session so special.
Logan shared some stories about his high school journey, and it was clear he’s ready to take on the world. His excitement for the future was palpable, and it made capturing his portraits even more meaningful. He’s not just a great subject for photos; he’s a fantastic person with big dreams. Celebrating his accomplishments and capturing his unique spirit was an honor.
As the storm passed and the sun dipped below the horizon, we wrapped up the session. The sky was painted with hues of orange and pink, creating a dreamy end to a perfect day. Logan’s silhouette against this vibrant backdrop was breathtaking. It was the perfect way to close out an incredible shoot.
Logan, your senior portrait session was an absolute joy! Your energy, style, and enthusiasm made every moment special. Keep shining and chasing your dreams. Your future is incredibly bright, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll achieve. You’re a star! 🌟
For everyone reading, if you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable senior portrait session, consider a desert location in Phoenix. The natural beauty and dramatic skies provide the perfect setting for capturing those special moments. And remember, it’s all about having fun and being yourself. That’s when the magic happens!
Want an insider’s look at our senior portrait experience? You can check it out here! You’ll see why our sessions are filled with laughter, joy, and capturing the true spirit of who you are.
Thank you, Logan, for letting me be part of your special day. Here’s to celebrating your achievements and capturing the magic of this exciting time in your life. Until next time, keep shining and making memories! 📸✨
It's hard to believe how fast time has flown. Senior year is a reminder that childhood doesn’t last forever- but that the transition to adulthood and beyond should still be fun!
I recently photographed Olivia's senior portrait session at the stunning Boyce Thompson Arboretum. It was an unforgettable experience capturing this amazing young woman as she embarks on her senior year.
THIS VIDEOS MUSIC: Imagine Song by Macifif
When I asked Olivia about her choice of location, she knew she wanted as much greenery as we could possibly find in Arizona- and Boyce was the top of list for this reason! Even after the end of what I call “crispy season” (summer) the Master Gardners at Boyce has tropical lush forest areas, huge trees, and huge flower bushes everywhere still in a spring like bloom. The variety of backdrops at the Arboretum allowed us to capture Olivia's portraits in many ways. From a serene ivy covered veranda to vibrant wildflowers, each location added a unique touch to her senior photos. We even managed to sneak in a few shots amidst the iconic cacti, creating a beautifully harmonious blend of nature and Olivia's spirit.
Olivia's vibrant personality shone through in every frame. Her smile was infectious, and her eyes sparkled with excitement for the future. It was clear that she was savoring every moment of this day.
I love my job folks! Honored that Olivia nd her mother Jaime chose me for these milestone photographs! Olivia's session was a wonderful reminder of the significance of capturing these cherished moments as we transition into new chapters of our lives. It was a true honor to be a part of her senior year, and I can't wait to see where this Class of 2024 grad will go.

What a fun, fashion-filled afternoon! After getting pampered and made up with the wonderful Yolanda, natural beauty Hailee was ready for her Phoenix senior session! We hit the VW van front at Two Hippies Beach House and a few murals in the Scottsdale area, before heading to model more downtown and Roosevelt Row and the always stunning Desert Botanical Gardens! How amazing is Hailee am I right?? She is a volleyball athlete extraordinaire- and a seriously good model!

“After women, flowers are the most divine creations”
I met Natalia last year at her sisters senior session and was so happy they chose me again for such important milestone portraits! Natalia is AH-mazing from her whole makeup and hair aesthetic - completely done herself- to her fashion choices and posing. She was a dream to work with, I feel like I was working with a professional model!
Natalia introduced me to The Scott Resort, a gorgeous little oasis in the middle of Scottsdale for boho chic looks and sophisticated green and gold glam. I cannot wait to show you all Natalias next set of sneak peeks as she glowed up the amazing lobby area!!!

I’d say she’s a natural - and obviously, she is a natural beauty- but pro models like Henley KNOW its a lot of perseverance, hard work, and practice. And heck yeah it’s fun too when you are doing what you love! This time instead of a campaign for a company or brand, Henley is voguing all for herself- and celebrating her #ClassOf2021 #senioryear Check out her video below!

Lianna was wanting flowers- but with so little rain this ‘winter’ in Arizona we just didn’t get the bloom of previous springs. So when we heard that Annie’s Flower Truck was near the senior picture location we were going to in Old Town Scottsdale, we had to stop by! Happy Senior Sunday Lianna! Beautiful young woman- it was awesome working with you!

This has been the year for composited group photos like never before. Composite images are fantastic anytime, they look epic, creative, and fun- plus you can always see everyone’s face well which isn’t always the case with large group photography. However this year they gave teams and groups the unique opportunity to still have the group photos of teammates for keepsakes. Socially distance and SAFE! I keep saying it, but, this years seniors as last years are missing out on SO many memories and milestones but great photos do not have to be missed out on!
Thankfully the Shadow Mountain High School ladies soccer team get to have their season 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!!!

“To be who you are and become what you are capable of is the only goal worth living.”
Phoenix School for the Arts dancer Brooke was a joy to watch twirl and leap- and have a bit of a Disney princess moment with a roadrunner (name unknown) at the Desert Botanical Gardens. She absolutely glowed in the December afternoon sun as it drifted over the cacti in the Ottosen garden! Congratulations on your upcoming commencement and future adventures!
“Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

“The neat part about pictures is when life changes the memory doesn’t have to”
Music: "No Limit" by IamDayLight https://artlist.io/artist/979/iamdaylight
Ashley has such an energetic and happy spirit! Her smiles and laughs made this cloudy Saturday senior session shine bright!
The OC grad to be braved the wind like a pro, maybe partly to her Eagle Pride ROTC grit, and posed all over downtown #Phoenix to #PapagoPark in style. Everyones crazy for a sharp-dressed senior! She is still choosing the right after high school experience, but looking at a bunch of colleges and possibly even the photographic arts! Congratulations on your senior year Ash!!! Go get that world!
Science tells us our memories are changing. Changing because of our access to information, computer use, emotional maturity and the world around us. Understanding of what a memory even is has grown. Changing for the better in many ways. In other ways we understand more now that, well, really, what we remember isn’t even true based on a multitude of factors like perception, recall, and our of so human tendency to focus on the dreadful. Modern cognitive theory of a sensory memory, a short-term memory and a long-term memory has always been studied by humans, but really took off in the 60’s and 70’s as medical equipment was able to measure and compile more information to study. When combined with the long history of memory study…we gained a better understanding of how our memory works. Basically, it’s lying to us. Yet we are in control of those half or missed truths about what really happened during a moment that we lived.
Why do I bring this up in the middle of a senior session blog? Because by all reasonable standards this year has sucked. We know it, everyone is saying it’s the worst, all the news confirms that everything is terrible and it is just going to get worse and worse with an excited gleam in their eyes. Those who should be our most trusted elder members of society complain, and yell, and have told us they have looked back and compared to all memory this is the worst year ever in the history of forever. They are not wrong that it’s been terrible. Heartbreakingly we have lost so many souls we can't get back. Another reason photographs of those we love are so very important! The election turmoil has hurt us all. We cannot deny the hurt our society inflicts on so many of its members from people of color, to women, to those differently-abled. We have to do better. We all have pandemic fatigue we cannot let win.
We need to be safe and careful- we need to look to faith and science and stop ignoring the dangers of climate, the treatment of others less privileged, and political concerns. We also need to breathe, stop hoarding toilet paper, and live a little too. Neither can we forget the improvements this new era has brought us, it’s better by far than medieval times, so we know we are capable of great things. No pressure,eh?
We can’t always 100% trust our memory-which isn’t such a bad thing after all! We have a generation of kids here- Gen Z- that is the most well-informed, compassionate, strong, and thoughtful generation. Just because maybe not everyone appreciates that or understands their TikToks and IG posts and writes them off as just kids (exactly as THEIR parents and grandparents did before them- nudge-nudge) doesn’t mean it isn’t true. These kids are poised to be the next greatest generation. Support them. Celebrate them, help them. and get their moments of joy in a tough world truly memorized in a photo whenever you can. They are also the most documented and photographed generation so they can handle it hahahahah.
Find moments of joy and photograph the shit out of them, then hold onto THOSE good memories instead!
The brain in general, and memory, in particular, has a distinct negativity bias. It pays more attention to, and highlights, unpleasant experiences.
The brain typically detects negative information faster than positive information, and the hippocampus specifically flags negative events to make doubly sure that such events are stored in memory.
Negative experiences leave an indelible trace in the memory, even when efforts are made to “unlearn” them.
This is probably an evolutionary adaptation, given that it is better to err on the side of caution and ignore a few pleasant experiences than to overlook a negative, and possibly dangerous, event. - THE STUDY OF HUMAN MEMORY https://human-memory.net/
If we can’t trust our memory then what can we trust? Trust photos! Trust how you feel right now. Enjoy the moments, smile, and be present. Capture the good times and hold them tight. I always ask parents to get in some photos during sessions- parents GET IN THE DAMN PICTURES. Your kiddos deserve a photo of you together. Nobody who really matters gives a crap if you gained some COIVD pounds or don’t like your bangs. They NEED those photos of you for the hearts mamas.
One of the major lessons of memory research has been that human memory is fallible, imprecise, and subject to interference. Thus, although observers can remember thousands of images, it is widely assumed that these memories lack detail. Contrary to this assumption, long-term memory is capable of storing a massive number of objects with details from a (photographic) image. -
Visual long-term memory has a massive storage capacity for details by:
Timothy F. Brady, Talia Konkle, George A. Alvarez, and Aude Oliva
Look to change the world in one of the ways we all can every single day: do good whenever you can, care for each other and yourselves, smile and remember happy times and make happy times now with complete obstinance. Being happy in troubling times is an act of defiance we need more of. Be a rebel. Be like Ashley! Smile and laugh through the cloudy days and rock your senior portrait with confidence and happiness. Thank you for coming to my complete ramble of a Ted Talk ;p

Absolutely amazing session with North Dakota Class of 2021 grad to be Kayla! This model & gymnast has Arizona in her heart and longed for the vibe of the desert to accompany her portraits- and she brought her own glow and free spirited beauty with her! She couldn’t wait to Wanderbabe it out onto the mountains surrounding the sun valley and explore the city of Phoenix with stylish outfits, hats, and a kick ass pair of Doc’s. Congrats Kayla and thank you for choosing me for your fun-tastic senior picture session!

Congratulations Shadow Mountain Football! Just a few more games to finish off a ..well just really really weird season right? So thankful these athletes could participate in senior year no matter what it looked like!
“Life is TEN percent what happens to you, and NINETY percent how you respond to it. ”
These Matadors are not stepping down or stepping back. Showing up to practice, putting in the work, keeping a great attitude. Understanding that current events doesn’t define them but prevailing through with integrity and hard work does. Congrats Class of 2021 Matador Football on all of your future success!
Footbal Pom & Cheer have a tradition of gathering for end zone group portraits before senior night!
“It’s not whether you get knocked DOWN, it’s whether you get UP.””
“In its Global Millennial Survey 2020, Deloitte found that despite the pressure and uncertainty younger workers are feeling, a majority see a silver lining among the dark clouds. For instance, three-quarters of Millennials and Gen Z say the pandemic has helped them to be more empathetic to the needs of others. About the same portion say the circumstances have spurred them to take actions that will have a positive impact on their community.
Agility, resilience and a positive attitude are bedrock traits upon which a person can learn and grow.”
Loved meeting the Lady Matador Badminton team for Senior banners, Team and individual photos and buddy photos! Fun afternoon! The senior banners were a gift from Coach Weinke at Shadow Mountain for her three graduating ladies. I photographed the girls then designs a custom banners for each (plus a team banner of the seniors as my gift) The final banners arrived FAST from my printer- less than a week! I love the trade only professional banner producer I use, took a while to find just the right fit for quality, durability in the intense AZ weather, and fantastic color. Now the 36”x48” almost lifesize banners are celebrating the Class of 2021 in their home gym!
Of course, we got photos of the full Varsity and JV teams together plus lots of fun buddy photos and individual portraits!
