Alek, Anthem Prep Class of 2025 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Last week, I had the best time with Alek at the Sonoran Mountain Preserve for his senior portrait session! Alek is an honor student at Anthem’s Great Hearts, and he brought such a cool, laid-back vibe to the session. His personality and handsome smile shines in every single photo!

The Sonoran Mountain Preserve is one of my favorite spots in Arizona for senior photos. The views are everything! The landscape has those iconic desert vibes that are so Arizona, with cacti scattered all around and mountains that stretch across the horizon. It's the kind of place that feels big and beautiful and it’s perfect for seniors who want a mix of epic backdrops with a relaxed atmosphere. This location is always at the top of my list when someone asks, "Where should I take my senior pictures?" because it’s perfect for those high-quality, timeless shots.

Alek arrived ready to make the most of his mini session with quick outfit changes. I love it when seniors bring their own style to the shoot! Alek brought a great mix of looks that showed off his personality perfectly. He was casual yet well-dressed, and the way he transformed a simple shirt with a blazer was such a smart move! (I always tell my seniors that layering is key if they want quick changes that don’t take up too much time!) It’s fun to see how just adding or swapping one piece can give a totally different vibe to the photos.

What really added that extra spark to Alek’s session, though, were the items he brought that were so personal to him. He brought along his tennis racket – his favorite, of course – and his go-to sweater from school. Incorporating personal items like these is one of the best ways to make a senior session unique. Each time Alek pulled out one of these items, his face would light up, and I could just see how meaningful these little pieces were to him. It reminded me of why I love these sessions so much; it’s about capturing who you are at this amazing milestone in life!

One of my favorite moments was when we got some shots of him with the desert sunset behind him. The way the light hit those mountains and cast a golden glow across the desert floor was unreal. That’s the magic of Arizona sunsets. There’s nothing like that glow to add warmth to photos, and Alek totally soaked it up – he was a natural! I could see his confidence come through, and it was such a cool transformation to watch.

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.

Hannah’s mom was there to support and cheer her on. The bond between them was heartwarming. We took a few shots of them together, capturing their special relationship. It’s always a joy to see the love and pride parents have for their seniors.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, we wrapped up the session with a few final shots. The sky was painted with hues of orange and pink, creating a dreamy backdrop. Hannah’s silhouette against the vibrant sky was stunning. It was the perfect end to a perfect session.

Hannah, your senior mini portrait session was an absolute joy! Your talent, beauty, and spirit made every moment special. Keep shining and chasing your dreams at Purdue. Your future is incredibly bright, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll achieve. You’re a star! 🌟

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. 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.

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. ;)

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

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!

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.

Thanks for letting me be part of this special moment in your life. Your photos turned out stunning, and I hope you love them as much as I do. Here’s to new adventures, unforgettable moments, and making dreams come true! 📸✨

Alright, friends, that’s a wrap on Ricky’s senior session! I can’t wait to share these beautiful moments with you all. Stay tuned for more awesome senior stories and gorgeous photos. Until next time, keep shining!

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.

For all the high school seniors and parents out there, senior photos are more than just a milestone. They capture a special time in your life, showing your personality and your journey. Samantha’s photos do just that. They’re not just about her senior year; they’re a celebration of her journey and her bright future with the NAU Lumberjack band.

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. And most importantly, have fun with it! Your senior year is a time to celebrate, and your photos should show that joy and excitement.

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. 🌵📚🎓

Makhia Adventure Travel Senior Portrait session in Phoenix Arizona | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Class of 2023 grad to be Makhia, graduating from Cole Valley Christian Academy in Meridian, Idaho, wanted senior photos that would stand out. She wasn't interested in the conventional high school portraits that everyone else was getting in her city. So, she and her mom made the bold decision to hop on a plane and come visit me in Phoenix, AZ! Talk about dedication to getting those perfect shots!

A lot of photographers won’t tell you the spots they go for senior photos, but the truth is you can get great photos anyplace in Peoria and Phoenix- the location isn’t as important as the experience the senior has which really brings out their sparkle, and connection they have with their photographer. That being said, while anyone can take good pictures I strive to make the senior experience so awesome you get GREAT one of a kind portraits back! That being said, one of my favorite places is Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park where Makhia and I went for her sweet little Aspect Mini Session. We choose the perfect time – right at sunset.

There's something magical about that time of day in Arizona. The sky starts its symphony of colors, and the desert landscape glows like it’s been kissed by golden light. We started with natural light to capture that rich, artistic glow. Trust me, when the sun starts to dip, everything looks like it’s bathed in liquid gold. No wonder this scene with its sunrays and colors is our state logo! Occationally, I switched to using a flash to balance the sky’s dramatic hues with Makhia’s complection. It was like capturing two masterpieces in one frame!

Makhia’s nailed her outfit choices. Seriously, both ‘fits she picked were on point, but there was this hat – that hat was the cherry on top for the cloudy Arizona day. It added a dash of personality and flair to her look. Speaking of the clouds, here's a fun fact: In my almost unbiased opinion Arizona sunsets are the most spectacular in the world, but they need a bit of cloud cover to really show off. And we got exactly that – a canvas of vibrant pinks, purples, and oranges painted across the sky. Pure magic.

One of my favorite moments was when we found this perfect spot overlooking the desert. The view was breathtaking, with the sun slowly sinking behind the mountains. Makhia stood there, looking like she owned the world, with her hat tilted just right and a confident smile. I clicked away, capturing her in her element, surrounded by the natural beauty of Arizona. These photos were more than just pictures; they were a celebration of her journey, her achievements, and her unique style.

It wasn’t just about the scenery or the outfits, though. What made this session truly special was Makhia herself. Her energy, her laughter, and her willingness to try different poses and ideas made the whole process a blast. Whether she was twirling around, laughing at some silly joke, or striking a fierce pose, she brought so much life to the shoot. It was clear that these photos were a true reflection of her – bold, beautiful, and unapologetically herself.

For the parents and high school seniors reading this, let me tell you – senior photos are more than just a tradition. They’re a way to capture a pivotal moment in time, a way to celebrate the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. And sometimes, it’s worth taking that extra step (or flight!) to make sure those photos are as unique and special as you are. Makhia and her mom made that leap, and the result was a stunning collection of images that they’ll treasure forever.

Each shot tells a story, from the soft, golden light of the early evening to the dramatic, flash-lit moments against the vibrant sunset. They’re a testament to the beauty of Arizona and the vibrant spirit of a young woman ready to take on the world. Makhia, you rocked that photoshoot, and I’m so glad I could be a part of your senior year memories.

So, to all the seniors out there dreaming of something different, something uniquely you – don’t be afraid to take a chance. Whether it’s hopping on a plane or just trying out a new look, go for it. Your senior photos should be as extraordinary as your journey has been. And trust me, when you see those pictures, you’ll know it was all worth it.

And that’s a wrap! 📸✨ What an unforgettable session with Makhia. From the stunning Arizona landscapes to her infectious energy, 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. 🌵🌞🎓

Kate MRHS Class of 2024 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Meet Kate, graduating senior from Mountain Ridge High School. I met Kates while they were an incredible member of the marching and concert bands, and the wind ensemble, where they played the saxophone. Kate’s dedicated to their music but is still unsure if they will continue in band when in their future adventures in Tucson at the University of Arizona. After years of hard practicing it may be time for a break to explore other interests and passions! I feel so honored to have been a part of Kate’s Marching band career, at competitions and senior banners while with the Pride of the West Media Team, and individually after my kids graduated band. Their senior banner was proudly displayed on the football field and at competitions, was a testament to their hard work and accomplishments. Kate’s journey has been nothing short of amazing.

For our photo session, Kate chose a Mini Sesh at Deems Hills Park at sunset. The mini is the sweet spot for seniors and parents who want great senior photos, but are only want a couple of outfits, and a shorter time commitment without a video.

This location is absolutely magical, especially as the sun dips below the mountain horizon, casting a warm, golden light over everything.

---

Natural Light

The natural light at Deems Hills was perfect for creating a rich, artistic glow. I love working with natural light; it brings out such beautiful, authentic tones. I also love using a flash to capture both the stunning sky and Kate in perfect lighting. Because I don’t photoshop in fake skies (or skies that were not really there) using flash to illuminate the subject while the camera is set to capture the sky gives me the best of both worlds for awesome lighting! Without flash you have the choice to see either your subject OR the sky…but the cool thing about being an available light photographer like myself is the chance to capture both distinct looks! The combination of natural and artificial light created dynamic effects, highlighting Kate’s unique style and personality.

Flash Lighting

Kate’s outfit choices were spot on – they started with a burgundy suit jacket paired with classic Chucks, giving off a cool, confident vibe. Later, they changed into a University of Arizona sweatshirt, ready for their exciting new chapter in Tucson.

Kate’s choice of outfits really showcased their personality. The burgundy suit jacket was bold and stylish, a perfect match for their confident demeanor. One of my favorite captures was when Kate stood against the backdrop of the setting sun, their burgundy suit jacket catching a little wind with the rare and epic blue clouds behind them. Ok there wasn’t actually any wind! Mom stood by to flip up the jacket before quickly diving out of the way! Kate is so poised and confident, ready to take on the world. The contrast between the deep burgundy and the cool blues of the sky well before sunset was stunning.

The University of Arizona sweatshirt, on the other hand, was a nod to their future and all the exciting opportunities that await. It was a great way to capture both who they are now and who they’re on the way to becoming.

We had a lot of fun during the session, too. Kate’s sense of humor and laid-back attitude kept things light and enjoyable. We wandered through the park, chatting about their future plans and reminiscing about their time in the band. Kate is so excited about heading to the University of Arizona & can’t wait to explore all that Tucson has to offer!

As the session came to an end, the sky turned a deep, dusky pink, providing the perfect backdrop for some final shots. These photos will be a wonderful keepsake for Kate as they embark on their new journey.

I’m so proud of Kate and all they’ve accomplished. From their time in the marching and concert bands to their upcoming adventures at the University of Arizona, they have shown incredible dedication, talent, and resilience. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things they’ll do in the future. Kate, thank you for such a memorable session. Your enthusiasm, humor, and passion for music are truly inspiring. I wish you all the best at the University of Arizona and beyond. Keep shining bright and chasing your dreams!

To all the high school seniors and parents out there, Kate’s story is a beautiful reminder of the importance of celebrating your unique journey. Senior year is such a special time, full of growth, discovery, and new beginnings. Whether you’re pursuing your passions, heading off to college, or exploring new opportunities, take a moment to capture these memories. They are the ones you’ll look back on and cherish for years to come.

Amelia Sandra Day O'Connor High Class of 2024 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY

As the sun dipped low over the dusty plains of Sahuro Ranch, casting long shadows across the saguaro cacti, Amelia's emerald eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and anticipation. Amelia's senior portrait session at Sahuro Ranch was an exquisite portrayal of her unique journey through high school. As a dedicated member of the EaglePride Winter Guard and a fervent enthusiast of thriller novels, Amelia's session was filled with personal touches that reflected her passions and interests. She moves with the grace of a dancer and the precision of a warrior. Her love for the dramatic extends beyond the stage, as she devours thriller novels with the same intensity she brings to her performances. It was this unique blend of strength, artistry, and intellectual curiosity that I wanted to capture in her senior photos.

This videos music: PASTIS Back to the Wild https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/D3nwcWehjr/

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sahuro Ranch, adorned with gem tones and graced by majestic peacocks, Amelia's portraits captured her essence with remarkable clarity. Her striking green eyes added a captivating allure to each photograph, emphasizing her individuality and depth of character. The setting of Sahuro Ranch couldn't have been more perfect. The sprawling desert landscape, with its vibrant gem tones of ochre, rust, and terracotta, provided a stunning backdrop for Amelia's portraits. The majestic peacocks, strutting their iridescent tails, added a touch of whimsy and theatricality, perfectly reflecting Amelia's personality.

These senior pictures are not just mere snapshots; they are visual narratives of Amelia's high school experience and the memories she holds dear. Each image tells a story of dedication, passion, and the journey of self-discovery that defines the senior year. Whether it's showcasing a beloved hobby, a favorite location, or simply capturing one's unique personality, senior pictures are an opportunity to celebrate the culmination of years of hard work and growth. Amelia's senior portraits are more than just beautiful photographs; they are a testament to her individuality, her spirit, and the exciting chapter that awaits her after graduation. As she embarks on her next adventure, I have no doubt that she will continue to soar, leaving her mark on the world with the same grace, determination, and love for the dramatic that she brought to her senior year at OC High.

Congratulations to Amelia and the entire graduating class of OC High! May your senior portraits reflect the essence of who you are and serve as timeless reminders of this momentous chapter in your lives.

2023 AzMBA Division I Championships | Phoenix Marching Band Photographer Anjeanette Photography

View fullsize

I was so honored to be a part of the AzMBA team for group photography at the Division I Championships! Thank you for having me, and thank you to Mountain Pointe High for hosting the competition. Congratulations to all the bands on an amazing season! Go band!

The Arizona Marching Band Association Division I Championships crackled with electric energy, the culmination of months of tireless practice and unwavering dedication. And at the heart of it all, amidst the booming brass, thundering drums, and dazzling visuals, I had the incredible privilege of capturing each AzMBA marching bands group portraits.

From the moment I stepped onto the Mountain Pointe High campus I was swept up in the whirlwind of band spirit. The air hummed with a symphony of anticipation, uniforms crisply pressed, instruments gleaming under the sun. Faces, etched with nervous excitement, transformed into fierce determination as the first notes soared skyward. As the AzMBA team marched onto the field, a collective roar from the stands ignited the atmosphere, setting the stage for a performance etched in memory.

To all of the bands marching and performing at the AzMBA championships this year with such heart and fire, let these photographs be a lasting ode to your season. A testament to the countless hours, the tireless dedication, the unwavering spirit that defines the marching band experience.

And to the parents, the families, the supporters who cheer from the sidelines, let these portraits capture the essence of your child's passion. See the joy in their eyes, the pride in their stance, the sheer dedication radiating from every note they play. These are the moments that make it all worth it, the culmination of years of practice, the reward for every early morning and late-night rehearsal.

This was more than just a day of photography. It was a celebration of music, of teamwork, of the human spirit soaring on the wings of melody. And I am deeply honored to have been a part of it.

Congratulations, AzMBA, and to all the bands who competed. Your music resonated deeply, and your passion is an inspiration. As the final strains of the championship fade, these photographs remain a testament to your season, a legacy for generations to come. Let the music play on!

Phoenix Soccer Portraits | Shadow Mountain High School Class of 2024 by Anjeanette Photography

Forget for a moment the roar of the crowd, the sting of defeat, the adrenaline rush of victory. Imagine, instead, a sun-drenched field, laughter echoing against the bleachers, and a group of teenagers, faces aglow with the camaraderie of the team, the passion for the game. Parents and coaches, this is the essence of high school soccer, and its a feeling I remember from both the players and parents and as your Phoenix Team Photographer!

Recently, I had the privilege of chronicling the Shadow Mountain High School Class of 2024 soccer teams - boys and girls - in a fast-paced and fun photo session. It wasn't just about taking portraits, though certainly that is why I was there. This was about telling the story of a season, of sweat and grit, of triumph and tears, of brotherhood and sisterhood forged in the heat of competition.

I worked to capture individual portraits that showcased each player's unique flair on the ball, to group shots that froze moments of team camaraderie. Photos should resonate on multiple levels, offering players a tangible reminder of their journey, coaches a powerful tool for team building and motivation, and parents a treasure trove of memories to cherish long after the last game is played.

View fullsize

View fullsize

And here's the thing, Paradise Valley School district parents and coaches: your teams deserve this same chance to shine. Every athlete who pours their heart onto the field, for every team that bleeds spirit and teamwork, deserves a banner and the tangible memories of photos to share.

Don't let these precious moments fade into the memory bank, relegated to blurry phone pictures and fleeting social media posts. Invest in your team's legacy. Because these players, these athletes, these children of the playing field deserve to be seen, to be celebrated, to be remembered, not just for their goals and wins, but for them, what they bring to the field: their spirit, their teamwork, their passion.

Jacob Sunnyslope Class of 2024 | Phoenix Graduation Pictures & High School Senior Portrait sessions

I've been capturing the senior portraits of athletes for many years, but Jacob, a football captain at Sunnyslope Viking High School, ranks among the best. Jacob is a force to be reckoned with on the field, but off the field, he's a down-to-earth guy with a fantastic smile. We adventured into the picturesque landscapes of the Paradise Valley palm lined lanes, to the Vikings stadium, then we kicked it up a notch by venturing out to the stunning Lake Pleasant. The change of scenery added a whole new dimension to Jacob's senior portraits. Against the serene backdrop of the lake, we documented portraits of a young man transitioning to the wider world beyond high school. It was an adventure that mirrored the exciting journey Jacob is about to embark on.

By the end of those intense Friday Night Lights, he was understandably worn out, but when it came time for his senior pictures the next day, he powered through like a true champion. The football stadium provided a backdrop that resonated with Jacob's passion for the game. We captured those fantastic smiles and cool, tough vibes that make Jacob the charismatic captain guy is.

Jacob's senior pictures aren't just about documenting his time in school; they're about showcasing the resilience, determination, and vibrant spirit that define his high school experience. It's a story told through images – a visual journey of a Viking warrior, ready to take on the world with his strength, his determination, and unwavering spirit. Cheers to an amazing senior year Jacob! 🎓🏈

Olivia Class of 2024 | Phoenix Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography Peoria Arizona

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

Olivia is part of the Class of 2024, and her enthusiasm for this milestone year was truly contagious. As we ventured through the Arboretum, she told me about her Senior Sunrise that day at the football stadium, inncocent fun pranks by the senior class, and upcoming milestones like the last homecoming, and her plans in the medical field after hogh school. Golden rays of the sun played peek-a-boo through the lush greenery, creating the most magical setting. It was a day filled with laughter and candid moments.

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.

The best times to take senior pictures in Arizona | Phoenix Az Graduation Pictures High School Senior Portraits Anjeanette Photography

Senior year is a momentous time in every student's life, and one of the most cherished traditions is capturing this milestone through senior portraits. In Arizona, with our diverse landscapes and unique natural beauty, I make selecting the best time to take senior portraits easy as I have already considered weather, lighting, and different areas that express the character of our state - so that I get you the best results in stunning photographs that truly capture the essence of the senior and this desert wonderland.

Phoenix Az Graduation Pictures High School Senior Portraits Anjeanette Photography

Arizona is known for its arid climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters- and its a senior photographers paradise with all the variety and availability to have sessions year round. To avoid the scorching heat of the summer months, it is advisable to plan the session during the fall, winter, or spring seasons, or to have a summer session in studio or a unique indoor location. Autumn offers comfortable temperatures, golden foliage, and vibrant colors, providing a picturesque backdrop for portraits. Winter brings cooler temperatures, which can be a refreshing change, and the possibility of capturing unique shots against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains in northern Arizona. Spring brings the bloom of desert wildflowers, offering a vibrant and colorful setting for senior portraits.

Phoenix Az Graduation Pictures High School Senior Portraits Anjeanette Photography

A crucial element to consider is lighting and time of day. Arizona is known for its abundant sunshine, which can create harsh shadows and intense highlights during midday, which is why I avoid middle-of-the-day sessions unless they are indoors.

To achieve softer and more flattering lighting, I highly recommend scheduling the session during the "Golden Hour." The Golden Hour refers to the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the light is softer, warmer, and more diffused. During this time, the Phoenix desert landscape is bathed in a beautiful golden glow, creating a magical atmosphere for senior portraits. This enchanting light adds depth, warmth, and a touch of romance to the photographs, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Golden Hour

Warm golden light, high contrast, stunning glow….The best light of the day for outdoor shoots! I start golden hour senior sessions two hours before sunset to maximize the wow! Awesome for highlighting the best skin, colors, and dimension in photos.

 Sunset photos

Just as or after Golden Hour when the sun dips behind the mountains surrounding the Phoenix Valley is prime time for striking sunsets. Never can guarantee- but when there is on Arizona has the best!

Blue Hour after Sunset- NIGHT SHOTS

Dramatic, bold, colorful- lights! Night shots as unique as you are a great opportunity to shine. This is at the end & included in most action sessions- if we plan it right we can have Golden Hour, Sunset, and Blue Hour night photos in one session!

View fullsize

View fullsize

Sunrise/Morning Sessions

Beat the heat! Cooler temps and cooler colour tones- this is the best light in my opinion for Light & Airy style photos. Sunrise sessions start 15 minutes before sunrise so no sleeping in hahah

Studio or Indoor Sessions- Anytime!

A studio or interior space can capture YOU and your vision without distraction or crowds. From an epic shoot at a museum or theatre (click to check out unique spots)

to a classic fashion studio (studio portfolio here) we can get all the looks- while enjoying air conditioning!

View fullsize

It is important to consider the personal preferences and style of the senior being photographed so I like to collaborate with the senior and their family to understand their preferences, interests, and aspirations can help in choosing the best time and Phoenix or other location for their senior portraits.

Some individuals may have a preference for a specific season, while others may have a particular vision or theme in mind.  This collaboration ensures that the photographs reflect their unique personality and create a lasting memory of this significant milestone. I would love to bring your vision to life and be a part of your senior year with senior photos that express you!

How to download your images and order prints | Phoenix Az portraits Anjeanette Photography

I use Pixieset for hosting your image gallery as it makes viewing your photos easy and enjoyable on your desktop computer, laptop, and mobile phone. CD’s quality degrades fast, and stick drives get lost easily, and frankly all of these methods of file delivery add costs to your session package or change so quickly your computer may not be able to recognize them after a system update. The session your purchased and images we made together deserve better.

You can download your full gallery and save to multiple places, or download single images straight to your phone to share on social media. I also recommend ordering prints from you Pixieset gallery. 

When purchasing prints from Pixieset, you get the best quality prints that will last forever and be true in color. I do not recommend printing from drug stores or shopping centers such as Walmart or Costco as the prints will be reduced in quality and may not have the same color profile. I have tested it- I am sure. In full transparency I do get a VERY small percentage of prints sold- but I believe in the pro printers and their work preserving your and my memories so my cut is less than pennies on the dollar so the prints would be easy and affordable for more folks! And after investing into a great session why get cheap prints that will degrade and look bad with off color skin tones?

The process is fast- typing this out I worry I am making it appear more difficult than it is!

The steps to downloading your gallery and purchasing prints are intuitive and should be easy to follow, this reference is here it is just in case!

Grad cards, announcements, and invitations are also right in your gallery store! Save yourself a trip running around town or uploading and figuring out another web printing service.
