Addie SDOHS Class of 2025 | Magical Senior Portrait Session at OdySea Aquarium | Arizona Senior Photographer

You guys!! I am SO excited to share this absolutely incredible senior portrait session with you!

🌟 Addie’s senior portrait session was one for the books! Before I dive into all the gorgeousness (pun totally intended! 😉), I have to give a huge shoutout to the amazing Yolanda Lake Hair and Makeup for making our girl look absolutely flawless while still feeling 100% like herself. When you have the right glam squad, magic happens! We started our adventure at the incredible Odysea Aquarium, and it was a dream come true. If you’re looking for a unique, jaw-dropping backdrop for senior photos, Odysea has it all: shimmering blue tanks, graceful sea creatures, and the perfect lighting that makes everyone look amazing. was literally THE perfect choice for her vibrant personality! As one of the best places to take senior photos in Arizona, this unique venue gave us such amazing variety - I mean, where else in Phoenix can you capture senior pictures with sharks swimming behind you?! Especially for a senior planning to study Marine Biology after graduation 🦈

Track: We Are All One By Kadant feat. Nahra

Addie came prepared, too—five fabulous outfits, each showing a different side of her personality. She started with a sweet and simple look, then switched it up with some trendy pieces, which fit perfectly with the aquarium’s vibrant, underwater world. Each change brought out something new in her, and it was so much fun capturing every bit of her playful, bright spirit. We had the best time wandering through the exhibits, catching magical moments with the clownfish (found Nemo!), watching the playful otters, and capturing some seriously frame-worthy shots by the stunning anemone displays.

We started the session with Addie’s first outfit in front of the floor-to-ceiling tank, and wow… what a stunner!! With the graceful sharks gliding by, the anemones swaying, and colorful clownfish darting around, Addie looked like she was in her own magical underwater scene. The aquarium lighting created this beautiful, soft glow on her, adding a dreamy vibe to her photos. Her dress was a simple white, which contrasted so beautifully with the blues and greens of the tanks. Absolute magic!

Moving through Odysea, we found endless unique spots. There was a tank of otters that stole Addie’s heart—and mine too! She looked so cute laughing and watching them swim. I snapped a few candid shots as she was mesmerized by the otters. It was such an authentic moment, capturing her joy and sense of wonder. These are the kind of memories you just can’t plan for, but they turn out to be some of the best shots.

After we wrapped up at Odysea, we headed to our second location: The Boardwalks Carousel and Talking Stick Golf Course. And let me tell you, this place at sunset is just something else. The willow trees and the way the setting sun bathes everything in a warm, glowy light… it's a whole vibe! Addie wore two outfits in this spot: striking green shift, then a playful golden dress that was perfect for the setting, and as soon as she stepped out, I knew we were going to get some epic shots.

We found a little spot by the willow trees, and the way the branches framed her was just picture-perfect. Addie laughed, twirled, and really soaked in the moment, and that’s exactly what made these photos come alive. There’s just something about sunset sessions that add a little extra magic.

Looking back, I think my favorite part of the session was seeing how Addie’s confidence grew with each outfit and each shot. She started out a little shy but quickly warmed up, and by the time we got to Talking Stick, she was posing like a pro, completely in her element. That’s one of the best parts about senior sessions: watching these young women step into their power and own the moment. It’s not just about photos—it’s about capturing who they are at this incredible milestone in their lives.

I can’t say enough about how amazing it was to capture Addie’s senior photos at both Odysea Aquarium and Talking Stick Golf Course. The locations gave us such a rich variety of backdrops, each one more beautiful than the last. I honestly believe Arizona has some of the best places to take senior photos, from unique spots like aquariums to stunning outdoor venues at sunset. These are the places that turn a photo session into an unforgettable experience.

Emerson Class of 2025 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY

Emerson, from the class of 2025 at Rancho Salano High School, recently made the big move from Atlanta to Arizona. And let me tell you, she has embraced it all—both the soccer field and the wide-open beauty of the desert. When she showed up for her senior session, she was ready to shine, bringing along five different outfits that each told a little part of her story. It was like seeing a snapshot of her personality in every look.

We kicked off the session with her in this super sweet, casual combo: a simple white top and jeans. It was the perfect start—timeless, relaxed, and totally Emerson. She was so natural in front of the camera, laughing and having a great time. The jeans paired with the Arizona desert made for a perfect backdrop. She fit right in, like the desert was her second home now. Emerson had a plan to have some barefoot portraits to express carefree spirit.

Then came her blue jumper—such a cute look! The jumper had this cool, casual vibe that Emerson carried off effortlessly. She looked like she belonged in one of those dreamy fashion campaigns where everything seems fun and carefree. We found a spot with some desert greenery to bring out the contrast between her outfit and the landscape. It was picture-perfect. Emerson was full of smiles, and I think this was when she really hit her stride in front of the camera.

One of the coolest moments? That denim tank dress paired with her brand-new red boots. These boots were special—they were a gift from her parents when she got accepted to the University of Arizona. She was clearly proud, and they just popped against the desert sand. This outfit had that perfect mix of laid-back and bold. The boots, with their bright red, were a statement all on their own. Emerson just strutted through the desert like it was her personal runway. The look was all her—a mix of her past, her present, and the exciting future waiting for her at U of A.

Next up, Emerson stepped out in the cutest pink mini shift skirt with a hundred tiny hot pink bows. It was so fun and girly! You could tell this outfit was all about showing off her playful side. We found a spot under one of the Westwing Mountains where the light just streamed in perfectly, adding this golden glow that made her look even more radiant. She twirled, she posed, and she absolutely rocked it.

But the real magic came at sunset. Emerson slipped into a stunning red satin dress, and oh my goodness—what a stunner!! That dress against the Arizona sunset was a total vibe. The way the light hit the fabric, turning it almost into a glowing ember, was just breathtaking. Emerson looked incredible, standing there with the desert stretching out behind her, the mountains silhouetted against that blazing sky. It was a moment where everything just clicked—the dress, the colors, the setting, her confidence. You could see her future as bright as that sky.

Throughout the entire session, Emerson was nothing short of amazing- and in 110 degrees! She embraced the desert, the heat, and the little quirks that come with shooting outdoors. At one point, we were gently reminded that Arizona likes to throw in a surprise or two—she giggled her way through a breeze that tried to play with her hair, and when we weren’t dodging a few curious insects, we were chasing that perfect light. No matter what, she kept her spirits high and her smile even brighter.

Senior photos are all about capturing a moment in time, but for Emerson, they were more than that. These photos weren’t just about marking her senior year; they were about celebrating her transition—from life in Atlanta to finding her footing here in Arizona. She’s stepping into new opportunities, from her love of soccer to her new adventure at the University of Arizona, and each outfit reflected a piece of her journey. Whether she was in jeans, red boots, or that stunning satin dress, Emerson was capturing more than just a look—she was telling her story.

For anyone reading, senior photos are such an important way to celebrate who you are right now. They’re a reflection of all the hard work, dreams, and fun moments that have led to this point. Emerson’s session was a great reminder of that. She showed up with style, confidence, and a genuine excitement for the future, and that’s what these photos are all about.

I always say it’s about more than just taking pictures—it’s about capturing who you are in this moment. Emerson, with her love of soccer, her style, and her new desert home, showed exactly that. She’s got big things ahead, and her senior photos were just the start.

To all the seniors out there—let your photos reflect the person you are, the journey you’re on, and where you’re headed next. Emerson’s session at the Sonoran Preserve was the perfect blend of old and new, fun and fierce, casual and bold. Whether you’re a soccer player, a fashionista, or a little bit of both, make your senior photos your own.

And with that, Emerson’s session came to a close just as the sun dipped below the horizon. 📸✨ We had such a blast capturing all her different looks and vibes, from the casual cool of her jeans to the elegant drama of that red satin dress. Here’s to Emerson and all the incredible adventures coming her way! Cheers to a future as bright as that Arizona sunset. 🌅👗🎓

But Mooooom... When Senior Guys don't *think* they want a Senior Portrait Session - Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

Senior year is a time of celebration, reflection, and capturing memories that will last a lifetime. For many moms, senior portraits are a cherished tradition, a way to freeze this fleeting moment in time. But what happens when your senior guy just isn’t into it? Many senior boys don’t care about photos, feel awkward in front of the camera, or think it’s not cool to care about senior portraits. This can create tension and frustration, especially for moms who value these keepsakes deeply.

I can honestly can tell you, Senior Guys sessions are my favorites- I love senior ladies but …some of my absolute best sessions have been for guys who didn’t think they wanted them, then turned into James Bond when they put on the suit mom “made” them wear. Most guys actually look forward to and enjoy their senior portraits, but they may not feel chatty about it. They have a lot of fun with them even if they feel uncertain at the beginning. theres this misconception that photo sessions are not hip with dudes- its not true even if they may tell each other that. Guys have just as many outfits, poses, and charm as the girls. I love it when guys bring a car, theirs or a friends. Or a jersey, or sword- seriously those sword session kick butt and are cool as heck. And if it is HIS idea…he will get into it mama!

I have seen this scenario at least a hundred times (no I am not exaggerating): You’ve booked a senior portrait session, chosen the perfect location, and even coordinated outfits. But your son, who could care less about photos, is dragging his feet. He feels awkward, self-conscious, and would rather be anywhere else than posing in front of a camera. He thinks showing enthusiasm for photos is like flexing, and he doesn’t want to come across as trying too hard. Meanwhile, you’re trying to make the best of it, but the session feels strained and uncomfortable.

Now, picture this frustration bubbling over. Your son’s reluctance turns into sullen behavior during the session. He’s uncooperative, his smile is forced, and the whole experience feels more like a chore than a celebration. As a mom, you’re heartbroken because you want these photos to reflect the joy and pride you feel for your son’s accomplishments. The tension between wanting perfect photos and respecting your son’s feelings can be overwhelming.

So, how do we bridge this gap? How do we turn a potentially stressful situation into a positive experience for senior guys and their parents? Here are some solutions that can make senior portrait sessions enjoyable and meaningful for everyone involved.

First and foremost, communication is key. Yeah I know I know, he def does NOT want to talk about it. so take a car ride and talk about it TO him, I promise he really is listening :)

Before the session, have an open conversation with your son about why these photos are important to you. Explain that senior portraits aren’t just about looking good; they’re about celebrating his journey and milestones. Share your feelings and listen to his concerns. Understanding each other’s perspectives can help ease some of the tension.

Next, consider a more relaxed approach to the session. Traditional portrait sessions can feel stiff and formal, which can be uncomfortable for someone who doesn’t like being in front of the camera. Keep the session short and sweet. My mini sessions are perfect for this, offering just enough time to capture a variety of shots without overwhelming your son. These shorter sessions are less intimidating and can be a great way to capture some fantastic shots without the pressure of a full-length session. They are designed to be quick and fun, ensuring that we get great photos without making it feel like a chore.

So, how can I help make this process smoother and more enjoyable for both you and your son? As an experienced photographer, I’ve worked with many seniors who were initially reluctant to have their photos taken. My goal is to make each session comfortable, fun, and tailored to the individual.

I understand that many senior guys feel uncomfortable or awkward in front of the camera. That’s why I take the time to get to know each client, ensuring that they feel relaxed and at ease during the session. We can start with simple poses and gradually move to more dynamic shots as your son becomes more comfortable. My experience has taught me how to bring out genuine smiles and capture the true essence of each senior.

One of the ways I make sessions enjoyable is by allowing your son to take the lead. Let him choose his outfits, even if they’re not what you would have picked. This gives him a sense of control and comfort, making the experience more enjoyable. Provide him with three location options unless he has his own ideas. This way, he feels involved in the planning process and more invested in the outcome. Now he may not have one clue or interest and you will need to pack his outfits, if he doesn’t care go for it! The point is to offer him the opportunity to make them what he wants.

If your son is into art, music, video games, sports or other activities, consider adding action as in my 2 hour Action Session. These sessions focus on capturing him doing what he loves, whether it’s playing basketball, D&D, skateboarding, or even playing an instrument. We go a place he feels good about: arcade, skate park, ball court. It’s a more dynamic and engaging way to showcase his personality and interests. Plus, he’ll feel more at ease in a familiar setting, doing something he enjoys.

During the session, I keep the atmosphere light and fun. Cracking jokes (even if they are super lame mom jokes like mine), playing his favorite music, or even bringing along a friend can help him relax. It’s all about creating a positive environment where he feels comfortable and can be himself. And remember, the goal isn’t to get the perfect posed shot but to capture his true spirit. Sometimes the best photos are the candid ones where he’s genuinely laughing or lost in thought.

Encourage your son to bring items that are meaningful to him. Whether it’s a sports jersey, a musical instrument, or a skateboard, incorporating personal elements can make the session more enjoyable and the photos more authentic. It’s a great way to showcase his unique personality and interests.

Finally, remind your son that these photos aren’t just for him—they’re for you too. Explain that having these memories captured is a gift that will mean the world to you. Sometimes, framing it as a way to make mom happy can be the extra motivation he needs to put in a bit of effort. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about making memories together.

Additionally, consider letting your son bring along someone who makes him feel at ease. Whether it’s dad, an older sibling, or a significant other, having a familiar face nearby can help him feel more relaxed and natural during the session. I have seen dudes light up for a significant other, especially if that person is into photos!! If he feels more comfortable without you being there, it’s okay to wait in the car or at home. This isn’t personally directed at you- often the guys who care about their moms the MOST are the ones most self-concious in front of them! They want to feel cool, and thats hard to do if a mom is there sometimes. Once i had a mom standing over my shoulder asking for his “real smile, like when you were in the 3rd grade and dumped ice cream on your lap!” eek! I know YOU wouldn’t do that mom. We can try starting it with you there, bring a friend of his, and if its not feeling good or getting the results you want, pop out for a water run or something! The goal is to create an environment where he can be himself, and he is growing up and wants portraits that reflect the man he is becoming.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to make the most of your senior portrait session:

1. Start with a Conversation: Discuss the importance of senior portraits and listen to your son’s concerns. Understanding each other’s perspectives can help ease tension.

1. Plan Together: Let your son choose his outfits and provide him with a few location options. This gives him a sense of control and makes him feel more comfortable.

1. Choose the Right Session: Consider a mini session or an action session tailored to his interests. These shorter, more dynamic sessions can make the experience more enjoyable.

1. Keep It Light: Create a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the session. Play his favorite music, crack jokes, and keep things light-hearted.

1. DO NOT MAKE HIM SMILE. I will ask, I run through a few poses and I direct prompts like “look at me, no smile, look to the left, chin down- look up at me” and then when the awkward warm up phase is over I do ask seniors to laugh at me- its weird, its dumb, they tell me so- and I encourage them to try it or give me a sift smile. I dont push it or force it. A forced smile is exactly that. Eventually by the end of the session he usually feel comfortable sharing a few smiles, even as a way to get it over with!

1. Incorporate Personal Elements: Encourage your son to bring items that reflect his personality and interests. This makes the photos more authentic and meaningful.

1. Bring a Friend or Family Member: Having someone he’s comfortable with can help him relax and enjoy the session. If he prefers, you can wait nearby or at home.

1. Focus on Candid Shots: Sometimes the best photos are the unplanned, candid moments. Encourage your son to be himself, and capture those genuine smiles and expressions. Cinematic photos where he is not looking into the camera, like in a movie poster.

1. Consider offering a faster ending IF he can cooperate until we get the needed shots! This wont effect the price, but if its a real dread offer to him that if the photographer gets the shots she needs for your photos we can end the session faster. This makes a mini session even mini-ier for him. and while this still has the same session fee, if he knows he can get ‘out of it’ faster we may get everything we need really fasy and in a happier fashion!

1. Do It for Mom: Remind your son that these photos are a gift to you as well. Framing it as a way to make mom happy can be a great motivator. He really does love you, even if he def doesn’t love photos.

I often have guys tell me “thats wasn’t as bad as I thought” or “that didn’t suck too bad” and even “that was a little fun actually”. High praise from a guy that was not looking forward to his session. A lot of guys secretly love it and I can tell!

By following these steps, you can turn a potentially stressful experience into a positive and enjoyable one. Senior portraits are about celebrating this important milestone and capturing your son’s true spirit.

Dante SDOHS Class of 2022 | senior pictures near me Peoria AZ Senior Graduation Pictures by Phoenix Arizona Photographer Anjeanette Photography

Dante, a standout from Sandra Day O’Connor High School and the homecoming king, brought so much energy and charm to his session. His natural charisma and enthusiasm made the whole experience incredibly fun and dynamic.

Dante's session was set against the stunning backdrop of the North Phoenix desert. The rugged beauty of the desert, with its vast expanses and dramatic rock formations, provided the perfect setting to capture his vibrant spirit and accomplishments. The landscape was breathtaking, and Dante’s confidence shone through in every shot.

One of the highlights of the session was talking to Dante share stories about his high school journey. Becoming homecoming king was a significant milestone for him, and you could see the pride in his eyes as he talked about spending that evening with his girlfriend, who he met in the EaglePride Marching Band at OC. We incorporated this achievement into the session, capturing his regal demeanor with the stunning desert landscape as a backdrop.

As we explored different areas of the desert, we found some incredible spots that added a unique charm to the photos. There was a rugged rocky area where the setting sun cast a warm, golden glow over everything. The way the light played with the shadows created a dreamy, almost magical atmosphere. Dante’s silhouette against the sunset was absolutely mesmerizing, adding a touch of serenity and contemplation to the session.

Dante also brought along a few personal items that were meaningful to him, including his Sandra Day O’Connor cap and gown with many academic achievement cords and honor society stolle.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky transformed into a canvas of vibrant oranges and pinks. We wrapped up the session with a few final shots, capturing the last rays of sunlight.

Dante, your senior portrait session was an absolute delight! Your charisma, energy, and positivity made every moment unforgettable. 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! 🌟

Hannah Mountain ridge Class of 2024 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

I’m so excited to share Hannah’s senior mini portrait session in Phoenix, AZ. This session was an absolute delight, and I can’t wait for you to see the magic we created.

Hannah is a pride of the West State Champion marching band piccolo musician. Her talent and dedication have earned her a spot at Purdue after graduation. What an accomplishment! I’m so proud of her and thrilled to have captured this special moment in her life.

We chose Deem Hills for her session, and it was the perfect backdrop. The natural beauty of the hills, combined with the golden light of the sunset, created a stunning setting for Hannah’s portraits. She arrived with a big smile and an even bigger heart, ready to make some memories.

One of my favorite parts of the session was when we started with some casual shots. Hannah’s joy and enthusiasm were infectious. She played her piccolo, filling the air with beautiful music. It was like having our own private concert. Her passion for music shone through, making each photo come alive. And oh man, I’m so glad we did this! Her glow? A whole vibe!

As the session progressed, we moved to different spots around Deem Hills. Each location offered something unique. From the rocky terrain to the lush greenery, every angle was perfect. Hannah’s natural beauty and grace were evident in every shot. We captured a mix of posed and candid photos, each one telling a part of her story.

One of the highlights was the sunset portraits. The way the light bathed the hills in a warm, golden glow was simply magical. Hannah looked like a goddess with the sunset reflecting off her hair and skin. We found a perfect spot with the sun setting behind her, and the result was breathtaking. LOVE IT!

We had a few laughs along the way too. A curious lizard decided to join our session, and Hannah’s reaction was priceless. It’s those unexpected moments that add a touch of humor and make the experience memorable. We even managed to get a fun shot with our little friend in the background. These spontaneous moments are what make each session unique.

Logan Arcadia High School Class of 2024 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

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.

Tyler & Cam's Senior Prom mini sesh! | Phoenix Prom Photographer Anjeanette Photography

I can't wait to share this sweet mini senior prom portrait sesh of Tyler and Kam at Rio Salado Park. These Cactus High School seniors were on their way to the "Time of the Century" prom at the Martin Car Museum, and their excitement was contagious!

Tyler, a football and lacrosse player, and Kam, his talented girlfriend, have been together for quite a while. Their chemistry is undeniable. They’ve even shared the stage at the Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts in productions like The Lion King and Fiddler on the Roof. Talk about a power couple!

Rio Salado Park provided the perfect backdrop for their portraits. The greenery always desired in AZ, the serene water, and the soft evening light made every shot magical. Kam looked stunning in her elegant lavender dress, and Tyler was dapper in his purple suit. They even had matching painted nails like the rockstars they are! Both were beaming, and you could tell they were ready to make some unforgettable memories.

One of my favorite moments was capturing the candid shots. Tyler and Kam were laughing, holding hands, maybe a butt was grabbed I won’t tell, and just enjoying each other’s company. Those genuine smiles and the way they looked at each other were priceless. It's these moments that truly capture the essence of their relationship.

As the session progressed, we moved to the trestle bridge where the sunset was just starting to cast a golden glow over the park. This light was a whole vibe! Kam’s dress shimmered, and Tyler’s suit took on a warm hue. They looked like they had stepped out of a fairy tale. We played with some fun poses, and they were totally game for everything. Love it!

One particularly memorable shot was by the water’s edge. Tyler picked up Kam, and they both laughed as I captured the moment. The reflection of the sunset in the water added a magical touch of glitter to the photo. These spontaneous, joyful moments are what make portrait sessions so special.

As the sun dipped lower, we wrapped up the session with a few more poses, capturing the last bits of daylight. Tyler had some pose ideas, specifically he wanted some with Kam wearing his suit jacket and after I asked him to softly kiss the top of her head I knew I had THE shot of the night!

Tyler and Kam, your prom portrait session was an absolute joy! Your connection and the fun we had made it a memorable experience. Keep shining and making memories together. You both have such bright futures ahead, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll achieve. 🌟

DON’T I HAVE TO USE THE SCHOOL YEARBOOK COMPANY? | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Phoenix Az→

No, you do not have to go to *JUST* the school yearbook photographer.

But I think you’ll want to do BOTH!

The schools portrait company is hired to take your yearbook mug-shot, tux or drape, and cap and gown. Unless otherwise stated that is the image they will use in the yearbook regardless. You are so much more than one shot!

Honestly, I love and have taken the traditional tux and drape shot. Its a classic! Secret Confession: I WAS a school yearbook photographer for 8 years- its a great business. One of the school the company I worked with service a high school that had large composites sheets from every year the school had been open- back to the 1920’s! It was amazing- and being a small town there were kiddos going to school with their great grandmothers, grandpa’s, and parents watching over them! Its timeless and sentimental and I loved it!

So get that yearbook pic and enjoy it. I suggest getting the school-approved print portrait package for a formal yearbook shot too. I bought my kid’s yearbook photos and senior photos from the school-approved studio too. I mean let’s face it I am the ideal client…I want all the images of my baby ha! But I also wanted something that REALLY showed off who they are and their personalities too.

..... what about YOU? Your hobbies and passions? Some schools allow independent photographers’ images- like mine- to also appear in your book. Regardless an individualized senior session is an important milestone. All other photographs beyond one formal headshot from the school’s photographer will be fast, cookie-cutter images, and they are completely optional to purchase!

Over and over I’ve been encountering seniors who believe that they must use the school photographer for all of their senior portraits. The school’s yearbook photography companies will attempt to lead you to believe that they are the ONLY photographers and you must go to them since they purchased a contract with your school for your photos, that is not true and you are not obligated to buy anything from them-

I encourage a classic formal portrait in cap & Gown or Tux or Drape- its a milestone shared by your parents and grandparents, an iconic part of the senior experience. But wait- there can be so much MORE!

Felt cute..

Might post my 1991 school yearbook pic later!

AFTER THE YEARBOOK FORMAL ADD THE REAL YOU PERSONALITY AND ARTISTIC MODERN PORTRAIT FROM ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY!

You are free to make your choice about your senior photographer!

I encourage you to look around at several talented, small, independent photographers such as myself in your area. Make a decision based on the quality of their work. You will get better quality images, more time spent with you and more poses to choose from if you use an independent photographer with years of training and artistic experience.

The yearbook photography companies are usually high-volume studios that profit from getting students in and out quickly with just a few backgrounds- the same ones all of your class will have.  And that’s their business model because it works- AND its inportant to get a photo of every kid. Not everyone will want a special session just for them and sad as that maes me personally hahah I want every kid in the yearbook. Sometimes when they are actually there in the yearbook folks studio they realize its a pretty cool experience and want more poses…You’ll still pay big bucks for your senior pictures at a bigger studio, but what you won’t realize is that you are paying for the business name.  Consider your options. In the world of digital imagery, why would a studio only let you pick a few poses?  Independent photographers will provide you with lots of options and will take the time to individually edit your images.  They will take pride in their work because the images they produce will be a direct reflection of their abilities.

Do you charge more than the school photographer?

It really depends, however, most high-volume yearbook photographers charge more than I do for their sessions and products. Please compare our prices. ;)

Faith Sandra Day O'Connor Class of 2024 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Faith’s senior portrait session at Thunderbird Park in Glendale, AZ, was truly an unforgettable experience! Faith, an amazing young woman with a passion for childhood education, is already making waves by working in a daycare. You can see how much she loves it in her eyes!

She chose two outfits that were just perfect for the setting. First, she rocked a boho red shirt with jeans. The vibrant red contrasted beautifully with the natural surroundings of Thunderbird Park. Then, she slipped into a flowy black dress with cowboy boots that is so on trend with the Class of 2024. Both looks were spot-on, highlighting her unique style.

Thunderbird Park is a treasure trove of natural beauty, making it the ideal location for senior photos. The scenery is simply stunning, and we were blessed with perfect weather. We started shooting in the late afternoon, capturing the soft, flattering light. Faith was a total natural in front of the camera, exuding confidence and joy in every frame. Her blonde hair gleaming in the sunlight was simply gorgeous.

We explored the park, discovering fantastic spots along the way. One area, bursting with wildflowers, perfectly matched her boho outfit. Faith twirled and laughed, creating candid shots that truly captured her free spirit. The whole vibe was relaxed and fun, and she was absolutely glowing with happiness.

Golden hour was the pinnacle of the session. The sun’s warm, golden light bathed everything in a magical glow. Faith looked breathtaking in her black dress, her hair illuminated by the setting sun. The combination of the soft dress and the rugged park scenery was stunning. That glow? Pure magic!

Faith’s dedication to childhood education is truly inspiring. She shared stories about her daycare experiences and her future aspirations. Her nurturing spirit shines through, and it’s clear she’s on the right path. Capturing this milestone for her was a true privilege, and the photos reflect her beauty, kindness, and commitment to making a difference.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, we wrapped up the session with a few last shots. The sky was a canvas of oranges and pinks, creating a dreamy backdrop. Faith’s silhouette against this vibrant sky was mesmerizing and the perfect close to a fantastic session.

Faith, your senior portrait session was such a joy! Your warmth and enthusiasm made it truly special. Keep shining and following your dreams. You have an incredible future ahead, and I can’t wait to see what you achieve. You’re a star! 🌟 Remember, the key to fantastic photos is to have fun and be yourself. That’s when the magic happens!

Thank you, Faith, for an unforgettable session. 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! 📸✨

Charlotte's BFF session with friends | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Charlotte's BFF senior session was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment her friends arrived, the energy was off the charts. This wasn’t just a photo shoot – it was a celebration of friendship, laughter, and the end of an amazing high school journey.

Charlotte and her besties chose stunning Papago park for their session. The sun was shining, and the light filtering through the trees created the most beautiful glow. We started with some group shots to capture their bond. The way they interacted was so genuine and heartwarming. You could tell these friendships were built to last a lifetime.

Each of Charlotte’s friends brought their unique style to the session. From trendy outfits to casual chic, the variety was incredible. We had a blast incorporating their personalities into the photos. One of my favorite moments was when they all jumped in the air together, their joy perfectly captured in that split second. LOVE IT!

We also took some individual shots of each friend. It was important to highlight their individual achievements and personalities. They’ve all come so far and have such bright futures ahead. Charlotte, the star of the day, was radiant. Her confidence and happiness shone through in every shot. This glow is a whole vibe! 🌟

As the sun started to set, we captured some amazing golden hour shots. The light was perfect, casting a warm glow that added a magical touch to the photos. Charlotte and her friends were in awe of the beautiful colors in the sky, and it made for some truly stunning images. The whole scene felt like a dream.

By the end of the session, it was clear that these photos were more than just pictures. They were memories. Capturing this important milestone with the people who matter most to you is priceless. Charlotte and her friends will have these photos to look back on and remember all the good times they shared.

Charlotte, your BFF senior session was an absolute blast! You and your friends were amazing, and the photos turned out beautifully.

Maxie Perry High class of 2024 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Maxie's senior portrait session on Roosevelt Row was absolutely incredible! Maxie isn't just any senior; he's also a photographer. He knows how to work the camera, both in front of and behind it.

We started the sesh with Maxie showing up in the first of two fantastic outfits. Each one was on point. First, he had this casual, red polo and relaxed denims look that was effortlessly stylish. Then he switched it up with a crisp brown shirt and edgy black jeans.Every look was a total hit. LOVE IT!

Roosevelt Row is the perfect spot for photos. The murals, vibrant colors, and artsy atmosphere make it an ideal backdrop. And Maxie nailed every pose. Honestly, it was like he’d been modeling forever. 📸

One of my favorite moments was when we checked out the 1 1/2 Street Mural alley behind The Churchill. Maxie stood in front of it, and hopped up on a nearby set of mailboxes to hit all the angle. The contrast was just perfect. His posing was spot on, and we captured some stunning shots. It was like the mural was made for him. The energy of Roosevelt Row matched Maxie's personality so well – friendly, confident, and just cool.

The best part of the session was the laughter and fun we had. At one point, some curious passerbys decided to join our shoot. Why do people always ask “Are you taking photos?” Maxie took it all in stride, laughing and making the best of every moment. It’s those unexpected moments that make the shoot so unique. City Life! It isn’t just about the photos; it’s about the experience.

Maxie told me about his love for photography and it really shone through when he described some real estate work he was part of. He’s been taking photos for himself and his school, and you can tell he’s got an eye for it. His passion is contagious, and it made the session even more enjoyable. Seeing him so engaged and excited was truly inspiring.

We ended the day with some golden hour shots on top of the 1st street garage, and the lighting was perfect. That glow was everything. Maxie looked absolutely radiant, and the photos captured that dreamy, warm light beautifully. It was the perfect way to wrap up an amazing session.

Maxie, you are a star! Your senior session was one for the books. Keep being awesome and chasing your dreams. Your talent and passion for photography are going to take you far, and I can’t wait to see what you do next.

There's fire, and there's FIRE | Indoor studio sessions for summer: Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

View fullsize

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about why senior photos in a studio are so chic and totally trending right now! 📸✨ I know, I know, the thought of studio photos might bring back memories of those awkward school photo sessions with weird props and stiff poses. But trust me, my studio sessions are NOTHING like that! We're all about capturing your unique style and making sure you look fab.

First off, studio photos are super fashionable. They give off this sleek, modern vibe that's just perfect for senior portraits. The controlled lighting in a studio means we can create all sorts of cool looks, from soft and dreamy to bold and dramatic. Natural lighting and or strobe flash. It's all about showcasing your personality and making you look like a total stunner!

And let's be real, Arizona summers are HOT. When the temperature hits over 95 degrees, there's no way we’re doing an outdoor shoot. Here’s why I only do studio sessions when it's blazing outside:

1. Safety First: We don’t want anyone getting heatstroke. It's serious business. Staying indoors means everyone stays cool and safe.

2. Skin Matters: Greasy, shiny skin from sweat? Not cute. And trust me, it shows up in photos, highlighting every bump and texture. In the studio, your skin stays fresh and flawless.

3. Makeup Meltdown: Even with the best setting spray, makeup can melt right off in the heat. In the studio, your makeup stays put, keeping you looking fabulous throughout the session.

4. Fresh Faces: Heat can make your eyes and face look tired. We want bright, vibrant expressions, not the look of someone who just ran a marathon!

5. Equipment Overheat: My camera gear does not love the heat. Keeping everything cool ensures we get the best shots without any technical hiccups.

Now, I do have a small studio space in North Phoenix, but there are some amazing studio options in Phoenix. Each place has its own vibe and unique charm. TO NAME A FEW:

• Studio House AZ, Downtown Phoenix: This spot has such an urban, artsy feel. Perfect for those looking to capture a bit of the city’s edge.

• Parkwood Studios, Midtown Phoenix: A versatile space that can go from classic to contemporary in a heartbeat. This places looks like a Hollywood sesh. Love it!

• Stone Studios, Mesa: Known for its rustic charm and natural light. If you’re into a more organic, laid-back look, this is your place.

• Casa Peony, Scottsdale: Totally chic and glamorous. Ideal for those who want a touch of elegance in their photos.

And don’t worry, we’ve got some great options in Peoria and North Phoenix too. Wherever you are, there’s a fab studio nearby to make your senior photos pop!

I can’t stress enough how studio sessions can elevate your senior portraits. It’s all about capturing YOU in the best light (literally) and making sure your photos are as unique and awesome as you are. No awkward props, no outdated poses. Just pure, fashionable fun!

So, why are studio sessions so popular? It’s simple. They offer a controlled environment where we can play with lighting, backdrops, and your style to create photos that are totally YOU. Plus, we avoid all the hassle that comes with shooting in extreme heat. Trust me, once you go studio, you won’t look back!

If you’re ready to rock your senior portraits and create some stunning memories, let’s get in the studio and make some magic happen. Your senior year is a big deal, and your photos should be too. Can’t wait to see you shine! 🌟📸✨

Until next time, stay cool and keep slaying!

We kicked things off on top of the world, literally. The rooftop of the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix gave us the most incredible views. Ethan and Isabella started in their sharp formal wear, looking absolutely dapper. Ethan rocked a suit, and Isabella was stunning in her dress. Love it!

As we moved through downtown, their personalities started to shine. The outfits changed, and so did the vibes. We strolled past the Orpheum, which was just epic. The historic architecture combined with these two looking all stylish was a whole vibe. And those tall buildings surrounded by palm trees? Perfect backdrop!

The twins were so much fun to work with. They’ve got this great sibling dynamic that’s both hilarious and heartwarming. Ethan’s got this cool, laid-back style, while Isabella is all about that chic, trendy look. Together, they made every shot a masterpiece. 📸

We had some seriously funny moments. At one point, I told Ethan to give Isabella a piggy back ride. Isabella’s reaction was priceless, and Ethan couldn’t stop laughing. It’s those unexpected moments that make these sessions so memorable.

Walking through uptown, we found some amazing spots. The mix of urban and natural elements was just perfect for capturing their senior year vibes. We even found this cute little café with the best mural. The colors popped so much, and it matched Isabella’s outfit perfectly. Talk about serendipity!

Ricky Mountain Ridge High Class of 2022 |

Shooting Ricky’s senior portraits was such an adventure! 🌟 The day turned out to be one of the hottest spring days, and let me tell you, it was scorching. But the lush, green surroundings were so stunning that we didn’t even mind the heat and Ricky didn’t let em see she sweat. It was like stepping into a wonderland at Rio Salado Park with the water features, tall trees, grassy paths and wildflowers. A very un-Arizona oasis.

Ricky is graduating from Mountain Ridge High School, Class of 2022, and she has the most amazing spirit. She's decided to take a gap year after high school, which I think is such a smart move. Finals, activities, winter guard, color guard with the marching band—she was involved in so much! I am not sure she was initially excited about senior portraits even because this kid was suffering some serious burnout after a long year. It makes total sense to take a breather. Plus, she might want to explore medical careers after her break. How cool is that?

The vibe of the shoot was seriously on point. After realizing Senior pictures can be FUN Ricky started enjoying herself, and she had picked out the coolest boho outfits that totally matched her free spirit and unique aesthetic. Each outfit was like a new chapter in her story. From sweet dresses to striped wide legged pants, everything just screamed Ricky. And the way she posed! Like a natural. It was like she’d been modeling her whole life.

During the shoot, we talked about her plans and dreams. Taking a gap year is such a great idea, especially after the intense last few years. Ricky’s got big dreams and taking time to recharge and explore is so important. Maybe she'll end up in the medical field, helping people and making a difference. With her determination, I know she’ll succeed in whatever she chooses.

The location we picked was perfect. The greenery and natural beauty provided a perfect backdrop. The contrast of Ricky’s boho outfits against the lush scenery was pure magic. Every shot was a hit, capturing her essence and joy. And let's not forget the weather. It was 108 degrees with crazy humidity. But Ricky handled it like a champ, smiling through the convection oven waves. 🌞 the photos do not show the heat except the heat of how awesome she looked!

Golden hour light at the end of the session gave everything a magical glow. Ricky was absolutely radiant, the warm tones highlighting her features and making her look like a goddess. This glow is a whole vibe! 🌅

We also had a bit of fun with smoke grenades. Ricky wanted to check out the Grand Street murals down the street so we fired up a red one and she danced through the smoke blooms. these grenades are epic- I love them and seeing how each senior uniquely interacts with them while I snap away to create kick ass portraits.

By the end of the shoot, we were all exhausted but so happy with how everything turned out. Ricky’s senior portraits are more than just photos—they’re memories. They capture a moment in time, a milestone, and the beginning of a new chapter.

I’m so proud of Ricky and can’t wait to see what she does next. Whether she’s traveling the world during her gap year or diving into medical studies, she’s got a bright future ahead. Ricky, you’re a total star! 🌟 Keep shining and chasing your dreams. The world is yours for the taking, and I know you’ll do amazing things.

Alexis Class of 2022 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Alexis, from Estrella Foothills High School, wanted her senior portraits to be as unique and vibrant as she is. So, we decided to head downtown to Roosevelt Row. It’s the perfect spot with its artistic vibes and cool urban backdrop. Alexis came prepared with two sets of outfits—some chosen by her mom and others reflecting her own edgy style. Plus, she brought along her ukulele for some fun and creative shots with smoke grenades at sunset. Talk about an exciting mix!

We kicked things off in the heart of Roosevelt Row, where the street art and murals are nothing short of spectacular. Alexis rocked her mom-approved outfits, which were chic and classy, fitting right into the lively, colorful surroundings. The contrast between her outfits and the vibrant murals made for some stunning photos. She looked effortlessly stylish, her smile lighting up every frame. We had so much fun exploring different spots, finding new angles and backdrops that made each photo unique.

Switching things up, Alexis then donned her own edgy outfits. These were bold, expressive, and totally her. She looked amazing! Her confidence shone through as she posed with the urban art, blending right into the creative atmosphere of Roosevelt Row. These outfits brought out a different side of her personality, adding a cool, rebellious touch to the photos. And let’s not forget her ukulele! This was such a fun prop, adding a playful element to the shoot. We found some great spots where Alexis could strum a few tunes, looking like a rockstar against the urban landscape.

As the sun started to set, we moved to a spot perfect for the grand finale—the smoke grenade photos. This part was so exciting! Alexis pulled out her ukulele, and we got the smoke grenades ready. The colorful smoke swirling around her created an almost magical scene. The combination of the setting sun, the vibrant smoke, and Alexis with her ukulele was simply breathtaking. Each photo captured the essence of her creativity and free spirit. She looked incredible, with the setting sun casting a warm glow over everything, making the colors pop even more.

Throughout the session, Alexis was a natural in front of the camera. Her bubbly personality and enthusiasm made the whole process a joy. We laughed a lot, especially when we had to deal with a few unexpected challenges. At one point, a particularly bold pigeon decided to make a cameo in our shoot! Alexis took it all in stride, her laughter making for some candid, delightful shots.

Senior photos are such a special way to capture this pivotal time in life. For Alexis, these photos are more than just a celebration of her graduation; they’re a reflection of her journey, her passions, and her vibrant personality. Whether she was posing with street art, rocking her edgy outfits, or playing her ukulele amidst swirling smoke, each photo tells a part of her story.

Madison ASU Class of 2022 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

Madison, a proud graduate of ASU's School of Business, wanted her senior portraits to capture the essence of her journey. We chose to take her photos at Old Main and around the Tempe Campus, and let me tell you, it was a fantastic decision! Madison showed up in a stylish white dress for her graduation shots, paired perfectly with her Arizona State gown. Later, she switched it up with two more outfits—a floral dress and a tennis skirt with a cute pink top. Each look was spot-on and showcased her trendy, yet simple style.

ASU's Tempe Campus offers so many amazing spots for photos. We started at Palm Walk, a favorite for its iconic line of palm trees. The tall, slender palms created a picturesque background that made Madison's white dress pop. She looked incredible walking down the pathway, her smile as bright as the Arizona sun. Next, we headed to the historic Old Main building, also known as the “Normal School” building. The architecture there is simply stunning, with its beautiful brickwork and classic design. Madison fit right in, striking pose after pose and looking absolutely radiant.

The Carey Business School was another fantastic spot. Its modern design and sleek lines provided a great contrast to the historic feel of Old Main. Madison’s confidence shone through in every shot. Her floral dress added a touch of elegance against the contemporary backdrop. We also found some charming spots around the school with beautiful landscaping and fountains. These locations added a fresh, vibrant feel to the photos, making each one unique.

The weather was on our side, too. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, and the light was just right. We had a few funny moments, like when a gust of wind decided to play with Madison's dress, but she handled it like a pro. Her positive attitude and easygoing nature made the whole session a breeze.

Taking photos at ASU's Tempe Campus was a blast. There are so many great spots, and Madison made each one look amazing.

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.

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.

Michael Class of 2023 Sandra Day O’Connor High | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Michael, a senior at Sandra Day O’Connor High, wanted his senior photos to reflect his dreams and personality. He chose the ASU Gammage Theatre area and Changing Hands Bookstore, two iconic places in Arizona that perfectly captured his unique vibe. The Gammage Theatre, with its distinctive architecture, offered an exceptional backdrop for his photos. Its bold lines and curves, designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, provided an artistic setting that highlighted Michael's individuality.

We started our session at the ASU Gammage Theatre. The structure is a marvel, with its sweeping lines and dramatic angles. It's a photographer’s dream, especially on a cloudy Arizona day. The light was overcast and diffused, giving everything a softfinish, but when I used my flash strobe there was a very cool and epic edge that balancing the light gave the darkly exposed sky.

Next, we moved to Changing Hands Bookstore. This place is a gem! It's not just a bookstore; it’s a haven for book lovers and a fantastic spot for cozy, intimate photos. Michael wanted his photos to show different facets of his life and interests. The bookstore provided a perfect setting for this. He looked right at home among the shelves, flipping through pages and lounging in the reading nooks. His outfit for this location was more relaxed and casual, perfect for a day spent in a warm, inviting atmosphere. This place brought out a different side of Michael, capturing his love for reading and learning.

Michael's involvement in the Eagle Pride Marching Band is a significant part of his high school experience. I first met him while working on the band's portraits as a Phoenix Team and Marching Band volume photographer. Seeing him in his element, surrounded by his bandmates, gave me a glimpse into his world. The dedication, hard work, and passion he showed were truly inspiring.

Taking photos at these two locations was not just about the backgrounds; it was about capturing Michael’s journey and dreams. The Gammage Theatre represented his aspirations and love for the arts, while Changing Hands Bookstore showed his intellectual curiosity and love for knowledge. Each photo session was a celebration of his achievements and a glimpse into his bright future. It was incredible to see how comfortable and natural he was in both settings, making the photos truly reflect who he is.

The weather was on our side that day, with the cloudy skies providing perfect lighting conditions. The natural light was soft and flattering, highlighting Michael’s features and adding depth to the photos. Despite the occasional challenges, like finding the right angle in low light to avoid unwanted shadows or dealing with curious onlookers, the session was a blast. Michael’s positive energy and willingness to experiment made the entire process enjoyable and rewarding.

Senior photos are more than just a milestone; they’re a way to capture a moment in time that reflects who you are and what you love. Michael’s choice of locations and his involvement in the process made his photos unique and personal. It’s important to choose places and themes that resonate with you, just like Michael did. Whether it’s a favorite hangout spot, a place that represents your dreams, or somewhere that holds special memories, make your senior photos a true reflection of yourself.

Looking back at the photos from that day, I can’t help but smile. Each shot tells a story, from the dramatic lines of the Gammage Theatre to the cozy corners of Changing Hands Bookstore. They’re a testament to Michael’s journey through high school and his excitement for what lies ahead. Michael, you truly shone in front of the camera, and it was an honor to capture these moments for you.

To all the seniors out there, remember that your senior photos should be as unique and special as your journey has been. Don’t be afraid to choose unconventional locations or themes that reflect your personality and dreams. Your senior year is a time of celebration, and your photos should capture that joy and anticipation for the future.

And that’s a wrap! 📸✨ What an unforgettable session with Michael. From the stunning architecture of the Gammage Theatre to the cozy charm of Changing Hands Bookstore, it was a day to remember. Here’s to celebrating the end of high school and the exciting adventures that lie ahead! Cheers to making memories that last a lifetime. 🌵📚🎓
