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.

There are so many incredible spots for senior photos in Arizona, and the Sonoran Mountain Preserve is just the start. Give me a shout to book your session, and let’s capture your story together!

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.

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

I'm thrilled to share Logan’s senior mini portrait session in Phoenix, AZ. Logan, a senior from Arcadia High School, celebrated his graduation with a quick but unforgettable portrait session at my favorite desert location. It was an afternoon filled with laughter, stunning scenery, and a few surprises that made the session even more magical.

From the moment Logan arrived, I knew this session was going to be a blast. He brought along a sick pair of Ray-Bans that added a cool, edgy vibe to his look. LOVE IT! We started off with some classic poses, capturing Logan’s confident smile against the beautiful desert backdrop. The sun was shining, the light was perfect, and Logan was a natural in front of the camera.

As we moved through the session, we mixed things up with some candid shots. Logan walking through the desert, the sunlight catching his hair just right – it was all so perfect. And let me tell you, those Ray-Bans? Total game-changer. They added a touch of style to every shot, making Logan look like he stepped right out of a fashion magazine.

Then, as if the day couldn’t get any better, a monsoon storm started brewing right at the end of Logan’s session. Now, if you know anything about Arizona, you know how rare and spectacular these storms can be. The sky started to change, with dark clouds rolling in, creating a dramatic backdrop for the final shots. Oh man, I’m so glad we stuck around!

The storm brought a refreshing coolness to the air, and the desert began to transform. The colors of the landscape became more vibrant, and the energy was electric. We took advantage of this incredible setting to capture some stunning sunset portraits. Logan, standing tall with the dramatic sky behind him, was a sight to behold. The way the sunset lit up the clouds and reflected off his Ray-Bans was a whole vibe. This glow is a whole vibe!

One of the best moments was when the rain finally started to fall. We quickly found shelter, but not before getting a few shots of Logan with raindrops adding a unique touch to the photos. His smile, mixed with the dramatic weather, made for some truly unforgettable images. It’s these spontaneous moments that make every session so special.

Logan shared some stories about his high school journey, and it was clear he’s ready to take on the world. His excitement for the future was palpable, and it made capturing his portraits even more meaningful. He’s not just a great subject for photos; he’s a fantastic person with big dreams. Celebrating his accomplishments and capturing his unique spirit was an honor.

As the storm passed and the sun dipped below the horizon, we wrapped up the session. The sky was painted with hues of orange and pink, creating a dreamy end to a perfect day. Logan’s silhouette against this vibrant backdrop was breathtaking. It was the perfect way to close out an incredible shoot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But I think you’ll want to do BOTH!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Felt cute..

Might post my 1991 school yearbook pic later!

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

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

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

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

Do you charge more than the school photographer?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you, Faith, for an unforgettable session. Here’s to celebrating your achievements and capturing the magic of this exciting time in your life. Until next time, keep shining and making memories! 📸✨

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

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

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

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

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

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

Charlotte, your BFF senior session was an absolute blast! You and your friends were amazing, and the photos turned out beautifully. Keep being awesome and making memories with those who mean the most to you. Your future is so bright, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish.

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.

Ethan & Isabella! Perry High School Class of 2022 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

OMG, you guys, I had the most amazing time shooting senior portraits for Ethan and Isabella! These Perry High School Class of 2022 grads chose the “two-hour Action package” and let me tell you, it was action-packed! 🎉

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!

By the end of our session, we were all a bit tired but so happy with how everything turned out. The twins’ personalities and styles were captured perfectly, and we made some amazing memories along the way. Their senior portraits are more than just photos; they’re a celebration of who they are and all they’ve accomplished. 🎓

Isabella and Ethan, you both rocked this session! Keep shining and being your awesome selves. The world is ready for you, and I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do next. Here’s to new adventures and endless possibilities! 🌟

A huge thank you to Ethan and Isabella for choosing me to capture these moments. You two are stars, and your photos turned out amazing! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both. Here’s to the Class of 2022! 🎉📸✨

Madison ASU Class of 2022 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

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

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

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

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.

Ethan OC Class of 2024 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

Ethan is gearing up for some epic adventures in Flagstaff! He has this cool, laid-back vibe that made our photo session an absolute blast. Ethan wanted a rustic, outdoorsy location for his senior photos, and I knew just the place – the Peoria Regional Preserve.

This place is hands down one of my favorite desert locations. We set out on the preserve’s trails, surrounded by rugged rocks, endless saguaros, and stunning views of the Westwing and Eastwing mountains. The scenery was perfect for capturing Ethan’s adventurous spirit and his excitement for the future.

Ethan’s enthusiasm for his future adventures in Flagstaff was infectious. He’s so pumped about the natural beauty up there, the pine forests, and the cooler weather. I could see that same excitement as we walked through the preserve. It’s as if he was already imagining himself hiking through the trails and exploring the great outdoors. That’s the thing about Ethan – he’s always looking ahead, dreaming big, and ready for the next adventure.

As we wandered through the preserve, we found the most amazing spots for photos. The late afternoon light was perfect, casting a golden glow over everything. Ethan was a natural in front of the camera, totally relaxed and cool. His laid-back attitude made the whole session feel like a casual walk with a friend rather than a formal photo shoot.

Ethan’s easygoing nature was evident throughout the session. He’s one of those people who just goes with the flow, which made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. It’s no wonder he’s excited about Flagstaff – it’s a place that perfectly matches his adventurous and chill personality. I have no doubt he’s going to thrive up there, making the most of every opportunity and embracing all the new experiences.

We ended the session as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, orange glow over the landscape. The desert has this magical way of transforming in the evening light, and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. Ethan’s excitement for the future was palpable, and I felt so honored to capture this special moment in his life.

Ethan, if you’re reading this, I just want to say thank you for such a fun and memorable session. Your adventurous spirit and laid-back attitude are truly inspiring. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do in Flagstaff and beyond. Keep dreaming big and chasing those adventures!

To all the high school seniors and parents out there, Ethan’s story is a reminder to embrace the journey and make the most of every moment. Senior year is such a special time, full of possibilities and excitement for the future. Whether you’re heading to college, traveling, or pursuing your passions, remember to take a moment to capture these memories. They’re the ones you’ll look back on and cherish for years to come.

Here’s to all the seniors of 2024 – may your future be as bright and beautiful as the Arizona sunsets!

Piper Anthem Prep Class of 2024 | Arizona Senior Portrait Sessions: | Phoenix Senior Picture sessions by Arizona photographer Anjeanette.Photography

Let's talk about Piper's senior pictures! Piper’s Phoenix senior pictures Action package took us to Gold Canyon’s Boyce Thompson Arbetorum, one of the most beautiful areas in the southern eastern side of Tonto National Forest.  

This sweet class of 2024 senior is a student at Anthem Prep active in her church community, volunteering, writing, & crafting. You could just feel her bubbly, upbeat personality shining through in every single shot. Brighter than the sun, before and after it dipped behind clouds to make the sky a giant dramatic softbox!

Can we talk about her outfits for a sec? Piper had not one, not two, but FIVE outfits for her session - perfectly centered around her signature sunny yellow color! I was excited when she showed me her outfit ideas a few weeks before the session when we chatted with mom...you can never have too many outfit changes during a senior portrait session. Ok well you COULD, especially if you change fromon e to the next slowly ha! But 3-5 outfits seemsto be the perfect amount to keep the session fresh and full of variety whileshowingoff aspects of your fashion personalities. Seriously, not having enough outfits is such a bigger problem than having too many. Think about it - if you only have one or two looks, we're really limited for your portraits. But if you bring a whole wardrobe of cute attire? We can switch up the vibe and take advantage of all the amazing scenery around us.

With Piper's five fits, we were able to capture her bright, cheerful essence at multiple scenic spots around the arboretum grounds. Those brilliant yellow hues popped so beautifully against the lush greenery and desert flora. I'm obsessed! Now you know how I feel about wardrobe changes during sessions. The more, the merrier! An abundance of outfits equals an abundance of amazing portraits. It's honestly a struggle for me to photograph an entire senior session with just one or two looks. I always see a little more of a persons vibe with each outfit.

Seniors, if Piper's vibrant pictures have you eager for your own portrait session, get on my calendar ASAP! I'm already booking fast for the Class of 2025. This year, I actually had to turn seniors away because my schedule was completely full by mid-February. The popular dates go so quickly!

Avoid FOMO get your session booked early. Trust me, you don't want to be left out when everyone else is posting their killer senior pics all over Instagram next year. Secure your spot, then we can strategize outfit choices galore!

In the end, Piper's sunny senior portraits turned out absolutely beautifully. Her bright yellow outfits were the perfect embodiment of her joyful, optimistic spirit. I'm so grateful she took my advice about wardrobe changes to heart - it resulted in a vibrant, multi-faceted gallery her family will treasure forever.

Kaitlyn Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY

Hey senior squad! SO goofy sounding hahah. ANYWAYS…Picture this: senior year is winding down, the future beckons, and you're ready to capture all the feels in epic photos. Well, that's exactly what Kaitlyn, a soon-to-be college music major and Mountain Ridge High School grad, did with her Adventure package senior session! We traded the familiar hallways for the majestic Glanis Sand Dunes in Brawley, California, and the results were pure magic.

In Arcadia - Instrumental by Field of Giants artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/in-arcadia/77642

For the past four years, Kaitlyn's been a rockstar (well, technically a bass clarinetist!) in the Mountain Ridge Wind Ensemble and Marching Band. Remember the band that keeps on winning State competition? Yep, Kaitlyn was right there in the heart of it all, leading her section with passion and precision. I’m blessed to have been there to document a lot of it and watch her grow! That's right, yours truly! Seeing her dedication and musicality translate from the field to her future at GCC and NAU is truly inspiring.

Kaitlyn came prepared for her session with a wardrobe mix of casual and dressy, each outfit reflecting a different facet of her personality. Comfy jeans for that laid-back vibe, a flowy dresses that danced in the desert breeze, and even a stunning gown that transformed the dunes into a high-fashion runway. It wasn't just about looking good (though let's be honest, she rocked every single look!), it was about showcasing the many sides of Kaitlyn – the musician, the adventurer, the future music major ready to conquer the world.

Kaitlyn's fashion was epic. Having 3-5 well-chosen outfits that reflect your personality is key. Just one or two outfit changes can feel limiting during a session. Finding the sweet spot is important.‘

Senior portraits are more than just photos; they're a time capsule of this unforgettable chapter in your life. This year, my calendar filled up by mid-February, so many seniors missed their chance to shine. Don't let that happen to you! Book your session early to secure your spot and capture the magic of senior year.

Let Anjeanette Photography Capture Your Senior Story!

We can't wait to collaborate with you and create a session that's as unique and unforgettable as you are. Contact Anjeanette Photography today to schedule your consultation and start planning your dream senior portrait session! Let's make your senior year the perfect melody!

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

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

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

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

These are the moments that make it all worth it, the culmination of years of practice, the reward for every early morning and late-night rehearsal.

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

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!

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! 🌟📸✨

Caeli MRHS CLASS OF 2023 | PHOENIX SENIOR GRADUATION PICTURES BY ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY

“She reminded me of a swan.Beautiful, elegant and graceful.She oozes love, magic and passion.If you meet a swan in human form, protect her heart.She’ll encourage you to spread your wings and fly.”

— Labhandar Rós

LOVE IT when a senior chooses a unique place for photos!! This was a hoot, I had a ton of poses, plans, and ideas for this portion of the session ready...then the moment after we launched off the deck I started giggling realizing I didn't exactly factor in any piloting the boat aspects. It's been many years since I was any kind of sailor so thankfully it was a pretty manageable paddle boat hahaha.

What a stunner!! String lights are cool, and that pink-hued sunset sure is nice, but Caeli is what REALLY lit up the Tempe Town Bridge last week!!
