Riley Class of 2025 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer
This kids going places! Artist and actor Riley has been flying around the country auditions and vetting colleges for a major in Musical theatre- as you can imagine spots in the programs are extremely sought after and as a result the competition is high with each college only taking a small number each year. Beyond the normal college application process and essays etc, Musical theatre hopefuls also have sing, monologue, and dance auditions! I think Riley talked about 5 different schools she was considering, although she was applying to many more. She has an edge though, having already performed in musicals and preparing for this for years.
This musical actress was even nominated for a Lead Actress ariZoni Award for her performance as Lina Lamont in CYT’S 2022 production of “Singin’ in the Rain” and chosen by her cast members to receive the Rose of Sharon Award.
“Getting an acting gig starts by getting in the door of a casting director’s office. Regardless of how great your acting skills are if you don’t have a headshot to use as your calling card, no one might ever know you exist. Make sure to give your headshot the attention it deserves.
”
So before we headed over to Stelle India Park for senior photos in flowy dresses and classic Chuck’s, we stopped at Afternoon Studio for Acting Portfolio Headshots! Approachable, energetic, and charismatic smile- a winning combination to make your best first impression. And everything your looking for in an acting or modeling headshot where decisions are made in split seconds- you have to stand out.
Riley has all of these characteristics and more, her smile is cool and vibrant, only surpassed by a fantastic laugh and authentic personality. She is sure to take her dreams to reality with her determination, and I look forward to seeing her light up the world someday!
If you’re considering a senior portrait session in Phoenix, locations like Steele Indian Park are an amazing option in Phoenix, offering a balance of modern design, stunning light, and a connection to your personal journey. Whether you’re wrapping up high school or college, choosing a spot that holds significance to you makes all the difference. And we can always add on Pro Headshots to give you the competitive edge!
Riley, thank you for letting me document this chapter of your life! Your determination, personality, and enthusiasm for the future make you unforgettable. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do as you sing and dance in college—you’re going to own it!

Jackson Paradise Valley High Class of 2025 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
Jackson’s senior portrait session at the Desert Botanical Garden was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was going to be a day filled with fun, laughter, and some seriously epic photos. Jackson, a Class of 2025 senior from Paradise Valley High, brought not only his great sense of style but also his relaxed, authentic personality. It made every shot feel true to who he is—and that’s what senior portraits are all about!
The Desert Botanical Garden was an inspired choice for this session. If you’ve ever been, you know how stunning it is. The unique mix of towering cacti, colorful blooms, and desert landscapes creates a backdrop that feels so quintessentially Arizona. On this cool and sunny fall day, we had the kind of light photographers dream of. It was soft and golden, perfect for those backlit natural light portraits that make everything glow.
What I loved most about this session was how much Jackson leaned into being himself. He brought outfits that weren’t just trendy or formal for the sake of it. They were him. A mix of comfortable yet stylish pieces that reflected his laid-back vibe perfectly. We’re talking clothes he’d actually wear—nothing stuffy or overly formal that would feel out of place. This gave the photos an effortless, genuine feel, which made all the difference. As we wandered through the garden, Jackson had this ease about him that made the session so enjoyable. Some seniors can be a little camera-shy (totally normal!), but Jackson just went with the flow. He nailed every pose without even trying, whether it was a thoughtful gaze off into the distance or a quick, casual smile. There’s something about capturing those natural, unforced moments that makes a senior portrait session feel extra special.
We played with the light a lot during this session, and oh man, that glow was everything! Backlit portraits were stunning, with the sun streaming through the desert plants and highlighting every detail. But we didn’t stop there. We added flash for a few dramatic shots, creating that perfect balance between soft natural tones and bold, impactful images. It’s always fun to experiment with light and create a variety of looks in a single session.
The Desert Botanical Garden gave us so much to work with. One minute we were surrounded by giant saguaros, and the next, we were in a more intimate corner with soft greenery and pops of color. We were there right before Christmas and the special art exhibit “LIGHT BLOOM” by HYBYCOZO featuring stunning geometric light installations that we could walk into and around, they were stunning even in the daytime. Each spot brought something new, and Jackson owned every single shot. It’s always amazing to see how much personality can come through when a senior feels comfortable and confident in their session.
Senior year is such a huge milestone, and documenting it in a way that feels authentic is so important. For Jackson, this wasn’t just about getting great photos—it was about celebrating who he is right now. His personality, his style, his journey. That’s what senior portraits should capture.
If you’re planning your own senior portrait session, locations like the Desert Botanical Garden are an incredible choice. It’s one of the best places to take senior photos in Arizona, offering endless variety and a uniquely Phoenix vibe. Pair that with outfits that feel true to you, and you’re guaranteed photos you’ll love forever.
Jackson, thank you for trusting me with this milestone! Your easygoing nature and genuine personality made this session such a joy. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish after graduation.

Joahua Mountain ridge Class of 2025 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
The golden Arizona sun, a sharp-dressed senior, and the timeless beauty of the Peoria Desert—Joshua’s senior mini session was everything you could want in a portrait shoot and more! This Mountain Ridge High School senior brought his A-game, and we had the best time capturing these milestone moments. It’s not every day you get to work with someone who’s so laid-back yet absolutely owns every shot.
We met up in the Peoria Desert, which always sets the stage beautifully for senior portrait sessions. The desert has this understated magic—wide open spaces, natural textures, and that incredible light Arizona is known for. Joshua arrived ready to go with two looks that perfectly balanced his personality. His first outfit was a sharp, formal vibe—tailored, polished, and perfect for those classic graduation portraits. His second look was a bit more relaxed, with a casual button-up that still said, “I’m ready to take on the world.” It was the best of both worlds!
The light that day was simply stunning. Late afternoon in the desert gives you that soft, backlit glow that makes everything pop. And oh man, did Joshua glow! Whether he was looking serious in his formal outfit or cracking a smile in the casual look, that golden light wrapped around him like a spotlight. But we didn’t just rely on the sun—we added a little flash to create some truly epic shots. It was all about balance. The natural light gave us those warm, timeless portraits, while the flash brought a dramatic, magazine-worthy flair to a few key moments.
What stood out to me most about Joshua was how effortlessly cool and chill he was during the session. Some seniors can be a little nervous in front of the camera (which is totally normal!), but Joshua made it look easy. His confidence was quiet but powerful, and his poses felt natural—never forced. You could see how comfortable he was in his own skin, and that’s exactly what senior portraits should capture.
Joshua’s session wasn’t just about taking pictures—it was about celebrating who he is at this moment in his life. Senior year is such a huge milestone, and it deserves to be documented in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. Whether it’s through a formal pose or a candid laugh, every photo tells a story.
If you’re a senior (or a parent of one!) and wondering where to take your senior pictures in Phoenix, let me just say: my favorite spot in the Peoria Desert is one of the best places to take senior photos in Arizona. It’s versatile, stunning, and has this way of making everyone look incredible. Whether you’re going for formal, casual, or something totally unique, it’s the perfect spot to capture your personality and your journey.
Joshua, thank you for trusting me to capture this milestone moment. Your confidence, chill vibes, and style made this session unforgettable. I can’t wait to see what amazing things you’ll do after graduation—you’ve got such a bright future ahead!

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:
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.
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.
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.
Keep It Light: Create a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the session. Play his favorite music, crack jokes, and keep things light-hearted.
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!
Incorporate Personal Elements: Encourage your son to bring items that reflect his personality and interests. This makes the photos more authentic and meaningful.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Curious about how a senior portrait session can be a fun or at least stress-free experience? Take a look at my portfolio and see examples of sessions that showcase the true personality of each senior. My sessions are all about celebrating you and capturing your unique journey with joy and creativity.

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.
If you’re looking for a spot that’s full of life and color for your senior portraits, Roosevelt Row is the place to be. And remember, it’s all about having fun and being yourself. That’s when the magic happens!
Thanks for tagging along on this adventure with Maxie and me. Until next time, keep shining and making memories! 📸✨

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

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.
And that’s a wrap! 📸✨ What a fantastic session with Samantha. From the beautiful spots in Anthem to the stunning views at Sunset Point, it was a day filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Here’s to celebrating the end of high school and the amazing adventures 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.

Ella Mountain Ridge High Class of 2024 | Arizona Senior Portrait Sessions by Phoenix photographer Anjeanette Photography
Ella is truly one of a kind! When I first met her, I was immediately captivated by her striking blue eyes and vibrant red hair. They create such a stunning contrast against the rich greens and earthy tones of the Desert Botanical Gardens. It was the perfect location to capture her unique beauty and dynamic personality.
Time's Passing by BLUESTEEL, Cushy, Damma Beatz
During our session, Ella’s eyes sparkled like the clear Arizona sky, well, usually thats the color of the Phoenix sky. Ella had a rare treat however! The sky was a giant softbox with overcast cool tones keeping us cool and making the colors pop twice as saturated and rich as usual. Ella who I suspect is always stands out as exceptional really popped against the garden landscapes. Her red hair, fiery and full of life, really did dance in the breeze. Every photograph seemed to capture a moment of pure magic, as if the desert blooms themselves were in awe!
The Desert Botanical Gardens provided a stunning backdrop for Ella’s senior photos. The vibrant colors and diverse plant life perfectly complemented her vivid features, creating a series of images that are both timeless and unique. Each photo tells a story, capturing the essence of who Ella is and the bright future that lies ahead.
Ella’s accomplishments go far beyond her physical appearance. She’s on the honor roll and has been for as long as she can remember. Graduating two years early is no small feat, and Ella has done it with grace and resilience. Her hard work and dedication are truly inspiring, and it’s clear that she’s destined for great things.
In addition to her academic prowess, Ella is heading to ASU to continue her education. She’s excited to dive into new challenges and opportunities, eager to soak up knowledge and experiences. Her passion for learning and her unyielding spirit will undoubtedly lead her to success in her future endeavors.
Ella’s journey has been marked by hard work, perseverance, and a passion for excellence. Her early graduation is a testament to her commitment to her education and her desire to make the most of every opportunity. As she prepares to start her next chapter at ASU, I have no doubt that she will continue to shine and inspire those around her.
To all the Mountain Lion high school seniors and parents reading this, Ella’s story is a reminder that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. Her journey is just beginning, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things she will accomplish in the years to come.
Congratulations, Ella! Your bright eyes and fiery spirit are just the beginning of your incredible journey. Here’s to a future filled with endless possibilities and remarkable achievements! 🌟

Abe Class of 2022 | Anjeanette Photography Senior portraits Phoenix Az (Copy)
Gorgeous girl and gorgeous smile- but what you can’t see is the strength and determination in every photo. This spunky fun senior has been thru multiple foot surgeries, and was on crutches for this entire session although her Doctor gave the all-clear for travel and portraits! Don’t worry, mom and I made sure she took frequent breaks and didn’t push this passionate kid. Safety first always, no photo is worth risking her health.
Resolved not to be slowed down, she flew to Arizona from Montana to get photos like ones she fondly remembered from being a kid and playing in the backyard of her grandparents to sunsets with Sonoran Cacti silhouettes. So of course the best place for cacti and dreamy desert views in Phoenix is the Botanical Gardens. No sunsets of this rare overcast afternoon, but Abe’s smile beams away the clouds, and cloudy days are lovely for soft shadows and vibrant color.
This northern plains basketball and volleyball star has beaten the odds before- and will again! On the road to healing and enjoying her senior year!

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.
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.

Caden and Liesa Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE.PHOTOGRAPHY
As a photographer specializing in capturing the essence of the Class of 2024 through senior pictures and graduation portraits, I've had the privilege of witnessing incredible stories unfold in front of my lens. Liesa and Caden's journey is one that tugs at the heartstrings and makes you say “awwwww”. On the last day of 2023, Liesa and Caden celebrated their Class of 2024 journey with a portrait session from Anthem to the vista of Sunset Point. Even though it was a little overcast these two radiated energy and optimism. Their portraits capture not just a moment in time, but the perseverance and spirit that will see them conquer whatever comes their way. ✨
COSPE “Teenage Emotions”
These two remarkable individuals first crossed paths as percussionists in the State Champion Mountain Ridge Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. From the cadence of their drumbeats to the harmonious notes they created together, it was evident that their connection extended beyond the musical realm. As their senior year approached, we decided to freeze these moments of camaraderie in time with a special BFF senior portrait session.
Anthem Park and Sunset Point provided the perfect canvas for our photographic adventure, where we went from a giant sky sized softbox of a soft cloudy day to being bathed in the Arizona sunset. The landscape served as a backdrop, mirroring the journey these two have shared throughout their high school years.
Navigating the waterfalls of Anthem, we captured nervous giggles to genuine laughter and shared memories that define Liesa and Caden's relationship. Later we drove up to the edge of the sky above the Phoenix Valley to Sunset Point surrounded by the Bradshaw Mountains.
To Liesa and Caden, as you stand on the brink of new adventures, may these graduation portraits be a cherished reminder of the incredible relationship and lifetime memories you've built together. To the parents reading this, I hope this post inspires you to celebrate the unique friendships and relationships that have enriched your child's high school experience.
Here's to Liesa and Caden, the Class of 2024, and the beautiful journey that lies ahead!

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.

Happy Senior Sunday Brooke! We braved giant caterpillars every 2 feet, biting gnats, and a 108 degree day with high humidity in the Tonto forest for Brooke's #seniorpicturesession, and honestly, I am so proud of us for surviving hahaha. It was tough. Despite it all Brooke nailed her session with smiles and poise, not letting the extreme heat knock her down (we are so not used to that humidity in Az. 108? No prob. 64% humidity??? Ugh. Visit Arizona in February y'all)

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

Beautiful Kyla’s senior session was dreamy and fun! Flawlessly prepared and with the best smile, Kyla was ready to have her session since maybe the ninth grade!!
