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

Justin’s senior portrait session was one of the most unique shoots I’ve done this year! This Class of 2025 senior at Centennial High, he wanted something totally different—something that would reflect his style and personality and passions while being fun and memorable. Together we made it happen! We started the session at the West-MEC Big Rig campus and wrapped things up in the desert with some incredible shots featuring his car and smoke grenades. It was such a blast, and Justin absolutely nailed every moment. 🚛🌵

I always ask seniors their favorite kind of music or artist, so I can match their vibe with the artists I find on Epidemic Sound. For Justin I found the perfect fit with a track by Def Lev https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/V5NSEzbhfu/

The day started at West-MEC, and if you haven’t been there before, it’s such a cool location! The Big Rig campus has this industrial, rugged vibe that’s perfect for senior guys who want something more unique and edgy for their photos. The big trucks and equipment provided some amazing backdrops that made Justin’s session stand out. He brought a mix of casual and sharp outfits, which worked perfectly with the vibe of the location. His first look—his school work shirt and jeans—was so classic. Great choice for the West-MEC setting. We got shots of him leaning against a rig, looking confident and cool. These photos totally proved that senior pictures don’t have to be awkward or boring for guys. They can be fun and reflect who you are!

Justin’s personality shone through the whole session. He’s got this laid-back, chill vibe but also a fun, adventurous side, and we captured both. He joked about how he was a little nervous at first, but honestly, you’d never know it. By the time we got to his second outfit he was totally in his element. He even got some candid shots laughing and just hanging out near one of the rigs. I love how these moments turned out because they’re so authentic.

After wrapping up at West-MEC, we headed out to a desert loop in North Phoenix for the second half of the session. This was where Justin’s car came into play—and wow, what a cool feature to include! For any guys out there wondering if senior photos are “your thing,” bringing in something personal, like a car, can make all the difference. It’s a way to make the session about you and showcase something you’re proud of. Justin’s car added so much personality to the shoot, and it gave us some amazing photo opportunities.

The desert location was perfect for golden-hour lighting. The warm end-of-summer afternoon gave us that soft, golden glow that makes everything look magical. Justin switched into his third outfit—another casual but sharp look that matched the desert vibes. We found the perfect spot to park his car with the mountains in the background, and the combination of the car, the setting sun, and the desert landscape was kick ass. Now- this spot we had permission to use. It’s an abandoned road with very little traffic on it and we had dad also further down watching out just in case. Don’t try parking in the middle of the street just anywhere!

And then came the smoke grenades! This part of the session was such a highlight. Smoke grenades are such a fun way to add drama and creativity to a shoot, and Justin was all in for it. We positioned the grenades safely around his car, and the smoke added this moody, cinematic effect that looked incredible against the desert backdrop. The way the colors swirled and caught the light—it was next-level. Justin stood by his car with the smoke billowing around him, and he looked like he stepped out of an action movie poster. Seriously, these shots were unforgettable.

I think what made this session so special was how much it reflected Justin’s personality. From the industrial vibe at West-MEC to the adventurous feel of the desert, every part of the session told a little piece of his story. And that’s what senior photos should be about—capturing who you are at this amazing milestone in your life. For Justin, it wasn’t just about the photos (though they turned out incredible!). It was about celebrating his accomplishments, his interests, and his excitement for the future.

For anyone wondering, “Where can I find senior pictures near me that feel unique and fun?” or the “best places to take senior photos in Arizona for guys?,” the answer is all about finding a location that feels personal to you. Whether it’s an industrial campus like West-MEC, a scenic desert loop, or something completely different, the options are endless. Senior portraits don’t have to be stiff or one-size-fits-all. They can be customized to show off your style and make you feel like a total rockstar.

Whether you’re at Centennial High, Sandra Day O’Connor High School, Mountain Ridge High, or Liberty High, I’m here to make your senior photos an unforgettable experience.

Justin, you absolutely killed it during your session. From leaning on rigs at West-MEC to standing tall in the desert with smoke grenades swirling around, you brought such a cool energy to every shot. Thank you for trusting me to capture this moment in your life! These photos will forever be a reminder of who you are right now—and I have no doubt your future is going to be just as bright as that golden-hour glow.

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.

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

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

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

Track: We Are All One By Kadant feat. Nahra

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Thank you for letting me be part of your senior year journey. Here’s to celebrating your achievements and capturing the magic of this exciting time in your life. Until next time, let’s keep creating memories that last a lifetime! 📸✨

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

What an unforgettable afternoon capturing Dante’s senior portrait session in the picturesque North Phoenix desert! Dante, a standout from Sandra Day O’Connor High School and the homecoming king, brought so much energy and charm to his session. His natural charisma and enthusiasm made the whole experience incredibly fun and dynamic.

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

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

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

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

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

Dante, your senior portrait session was an absolute delight! Your charisma, energy, and positivity made every moment unforgettable. Keep shining and chasing your dreams. Your future is incredibly bright, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll achieve. You’re a star! 🌟

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charlotte and her friends were in awe of the beautiful colors in the sky, and it made for some truly stunning images. The whole scene felt like a dream.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Until next time, stay cool and keep slaying!

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

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

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

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

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

Ricky Mountain Ridge High Class of 2022 |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Alexis Class of 2022 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

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

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

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

As the sun started to set, we moved to a spot perfect for the grand finale—the smoke grenade photos. This part was so exciting! Alexis pulled out her ukulele, and we got the smoke grenades ready. The colorful smoke swirling around her created an almost magical scene. The combination of the setting sun, the vibrant smoke, and Alexis with her ukulele was simply breathtaking.

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

Senior photos are such a special way to capture this pivotal time in life. For Alexis, these photos are more than just a celebration of her graduation; they’re a reflection of her journey, her passions, and her vibrant personality.

Madison ASU Class of 2022 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

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

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

Old Main and the iconic Normal School steps have an incredible mix of history and charm that makes it one of the best places to take senior photos on campus. It’s especially stunning in the fall when the light catches the brick and makes the whole area feel warm and inviting. These steps are a hot spot for ASU grads, especially in spring. By April or May, it’s packed with seniors waiting their turn for photos, so planning a fall OR end of February, March, or spring break session means avoiding those long waits. Trust me, it’s worth it.

For those of you planning your own ASU senior pictures, here are a couple of tips based on Baylee’s session. If you’re thinking of ASU’s Tempe campus, plan ahead! Fall is a great time because the crowds are smaller and the weather is much more forgiving. By the time spring rolls around, Old Main and Palm Walk get pretty packed with grads waiting for their turn at these iconic spots. If you want those classic shots without the stress, fall is the way to go. 

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

Madison really rocked every single spot on campus. Whether it was the classic beauty of Old Main, the modern vibe of Carey Business School, or the lush greenery and fountains, she made each location her own. Her tennis skirt and pink top combo was especially fun and playful, showing off a different side of her personality. The photos captured her joy and excitement perfectly, making them a true reflection of her time at ASU.

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

Taking photos at ASU's Tempe Campus was a blast. There are so many great spots, and Madison made each one look amazing. From the iconic Palm Walk to the historic charm of Old Main and the sleek Carey Business School, each location offered something special. Madison’s outfits were perfect for the settings, and her natural confidence and style made the photos truly shine.

For high school seniors and their parents, senior photos are more than just a milestone. They’re a way to capture this special time in your life and show who you are. Madison’s photos are a perfect example of that. They’re not just about her graduation from the School of Business; they’re a celebration of her journey, her achievements, and her bright future.

Looking back at Madison’s photos, I can’t help but smile. Each image tells a part of her story—from her time at ASU to her love for fashion and her incredible journey through the School of Business. Madison, you were amazing, and it was such a joy to capture these moments for you.

To all the seniors out there, pick places and outfits 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 capture that joy and excitement.

And that’s a wrap! 📸✨ What an unforgettable session with Madison. From the iconic spots on ASU’s Tempe Campus to her stunning outfits, it was a day filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Here’s to celebrating the end of college and the amazing adventures that lie ahead! Cheers to making memories that last a lifetime.

Hannah Arizona State University Class of 2023 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

You guys! I had the most amazing time capturing Hannah's senior portraits at ASU's Tempe campus! The vibe was just perfect, and we kicked things off at the Old Main fountain, which is like THE spot for senior pics. The iconic champagne spray and hoping in the water is a Sun Devil rite of passage. Hannah looked incredible in a chic black dress, and her energy was totally contagious.

Hannah's graduating from Arizona State's College of Art and Design with a degree in graphic design. Can we talk about how impressive that is? She tackled college during the whole COVID craziness and came out shining. Seeing her now, so ready to take on the world, is beyond inspiring. It's wild to think back to when I first moved to Arizona and did her high school senior photos. Watching her grow and achieve so much has been a total privilege.

I first met Hannah through the Sandra Day O’Connor band and color guard, where she's still rocking it as an instructor. I was lucky enough to be her high school senior photographer as well! She had this spark, this energy that was so infectious. Now, fast forward a few years, and here we are again, capturing her college senior photos. It’s incredible to see how far she’s come and how much she’s grown.Plus, she's part of the Fenix ASU World Class winter guard team which I absolutely love capturing at events like WGAZ competitions. The dedication and passion she has for these activities are evident. It’s not just a hobby for her; it’s a huge part of her life. Watching her perform, you can see the love she has for it, and it’s clear she puts her heart and soul into every routine. Getting to know Hannah and her mom, Kristi, and seeing her and her sister grow up has been one of the best parts of my job.

The Tempe campus was such a beautiful backdrop for our session. The architecture, the greenery, and all the students hustling NOT around in the photos was the best. Hannah choose the absolute BEST time to have her photos- right at the begining of spring break! It left her with plenty of time to go play the next day and weeks- but it also gave us an empty canvas (punny arn’t I) and cool sweet weather without waiting in line at popular spots like Palm Walk and The Normal School steps. The light was just right too, making Hannah glow even more. 📸✨

Kristi joined us for the shoot, and it was so heartwarming to see their bond. She’s been there every step of the way, cheering her on and helping her navigate through the challenges.We laughed about how fast time flies since the high school shoot. Kristi's support has been huge for Hannah, and it was great to capture that connection in the photos. During our shoot, we talked about her college experience. COVID-19 definitely threw a wrench in things, but Hannah didn’t let it stop her. She adapted, found new ways to stay creative, and kept pushing forward. It wasn’t easy, but she made it work. She shared some stories about virtual classes, group projects done over Zoom, and the challenges of staying motivated when everything went online. It was a tough time for everyone, but hearing how she handled it with grace and determination. Kristi’s pride in Hannah was clear,i t’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do.

One of my favorite moments from our shoot was when we used smoke grenades for some of the photos outside of the Graduate Hotel on campus. Back when Hannah was in high school our session together had one bummer- the two smoke grenades I brought were duds :( I wanted to be sure to bring some for the session! As I set off the grenades, the colors swirled around Hannah created this magical, almost surreal atmosphere. Even though they kinda have a mild sulfur smell, it was like we were in a dream ha. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and I think they perfectly capture Hannah’s vibrant personality and artistic spirit.

Hannah's story is all about determination and talent. Balancing school, teaching, and competing in winter guard is no joke, but she nailed it. As we wrapped up the shoot, I felt so proud of all she's achieved. 🎓👏 This session wasn’t just about photos; it was about celebrating Hannah's journey and the bright future ahead. The joy, laughter, and memories made it unforgettable.

Hannah’s faced so many obstacles, but she’s come out stronger on the other side. Her determination, creativity, and positive attitude are truly admirable. She’s not just a talented graphic designer and performer; she’s an incredible person with a bright future ahead.

I'm so grateful to have been a part of it and to capture these moments for her and her family.

Hannah, if you’re reading this, know that you are a rockstar! Keep shining, keep pushing forward, and never stop chasing your dreams. The world is lucky to have someone as talented and driven as you. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do next. Here’s to new adventures and endless possibilities! 🌟📸✨
