Kay Class of 2025 | Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE PHOTOGRAPHY
I am beyond excited to share this incredible senior portrait session with you! Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Kay, a beautiful and talented senior from Mountain Ridge High School's Class of 2025. Kay’s session was an absolute joy – filled with personality, color, and those sweet golden moments that make my heart sing.
When Kay’s mom reached out to book her senior pictures, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. I’ve known Kay and her family for years through the Mountain Ridge Marching Band where the family is very dear to myself and the entire band program. My son was a Mountain Ridge grad, so I help out with the band’s media team and their senior banners. Seeing Kay grow over these past four years has been such a gift. Now, she’s getting ready to take on the world, dual majoring in Music and Business! Talk about ambitious- and she is smart and determined too so she can make anything she wants to happen.

We kicked off Kay’s senior portrait session at the Desert Botanical Garden, one of the best places to take senior pictures in Arizona. If you’ve never been, it’s a breathtaking location filled with vibrant desert plants, winding paths, and those iconic towering cacti. It’s hands down one of my favorite spots for senior photos near Phoenix!
The weather that day was pure magic. Overcast skies gave us this dreamy, soft light that made Kay’s photos pop with color and detail. You’d think overcast days would dull things down, but nope! The desert colors came alive. 🌵💚
Kay arrived with five outfits, each one perfectly showcased a different side of her personality. From a 70’s chic top, to a chic red top and leather skirt outfit and then suit that screamed confidence, she nailed every look. We strolled through the garden, capturing her natural smiles, contagious laughter, and those quiet, reflective moments that made her session feel so authentic. I love working with seniors who are ready to have fun and be themselves, and Kay was no exception.
I def felt a Stevie Nicks vibes at the end! When we headed to to Papago Park Kay wore a slinky dress and then a flowy lacey skirt and velvet top that added a perfect amount of drama to the mountain top. By this point, the sun was starting to peek through the clouds, and we caught the most gorgeous golden hour light. Papago’s iconic red rock formations were glowing, and the warm light wrapped around Kay like a hug. Seriously, it was magical. ✨
The sunset was being dramatic and I had her spinning around on top of with a green smoke grenade- very theatrical and rock-star cool. Watching the burst of color swirl around her was just so much fun. It added a bold and edgy vibe to her portraits, which perfectly balanced her softer, more whimsical looks from earlier. And yes, we made sure it was safe to use them and cleaned up after ‘leave no trace!’ Thanks mama for helping me clean up <3 .
Senior portrait sessions are about so much more than just photos. They’re about capturing this special, transitional moment in your life – the excitement, the nerves, the dreams for the future. And for me, it’s about celebrating YOU!
Kay’s session reminded me why I love what I do. She’s sweet, smart, and full of life. Seeing her shine in front of the camera was everything.
If you’re looking for high-quality senior pictures that are unique, fun, and full of personality, I’d love to work with you! My goal is to make your session stress-free and unforgettable. From picking the perfect locations to helping you feel confident in front of the camera, I’m here to create photos you’ll cherish forever.
So, if you’re asking yourself, “Where can I find senior portraits near me?” or “How do I book a photographer for my senior pictures in Phoenix?” – you’ve found the right place! Let’s make some magic together.
To Kay and her amazing family: thank you for trusting me with this milestone moment. Kay, you are a shining star, and I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll achieve in college and beyond. You’ve got this! 💖
If you’re a senior or a parent of a senior looking for unique and affordable senior pictures in Arizona, let’s talk! Whether it’s Desert Botanical Garden, Papago Park, or another one of the top 10 places for senior pictures in Arizona, I can’t wait to capture your story.
Let’s make this your year to shine! ✨

5 Months to Make the most of Senior Year! | Senior Pictures near me, Phoenix Arizona
I’m here to help you navigate through this incredible year with a handy timeline and checklist to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Let’s dive into the must-dos for your senior year, from scheduling your senior portraits with me to marking those all-important yearbook dates and planning for special occasions like homecoming and prom.
Y’all, Senior year of high school is such an exciting time, filled with milestones, memories, and a lot to prepare for. I’m here to help you navigate through this incredible year with a handy timeline and checklist to make sure you don’t miss a thing. I remember being a first time senior parent and just barely making some of these dates despite my first senior being very organized and prepared- because you don’t know if you don’t know!
Let’s dive into the must-dos for your senior year, from scheduling your senior portraits with me to marking those all-important yearbook dates and planning for special occasions like homecoming and prom.
August - September: Kick Off the Year Right!
Get Organized: Start by getting a planner or calendar to keep track of important dates and deadlines. some schools provide them or great tracking apps.
Schedule Senior Portraits: One of the first things you’ll want to do is schedule your senior portraits with me. These photos are a major milestone, and we want to capture you at your best! Click here to book your session.
Schedule Yearbook Picture: You do need to make an appointment, usually with Dorian Studio or Grads, for the yearbook photo. No, you do not have to go to *JUST* the school yearbook photographer. BUT I THINK YOU’LL WANT TO DO BOTH! More about that here
Join Clubs and Activities: Get involved in school clubs and extracurricular activities. It’s a great way to make the most of your last year.
College Planning: Start researching colleges, preparing for the SAT/ACT, and planning college visits if you have not already. Remeber not every post graduation adventure has to be college! Take time to think about something you love doing, that you automatically go to and can do for hours without making yourself concentrate- it just feels natural and you get lost in it…then research places to further explore that interest. You really might be surprised what options are out there that do not involve a student loan. Colelege is fantastic, if it takes you to the path you want, or if you are not sure what that path is but know that classes excited you. But everyone has a different path and there are also amazing schools for music, art, mechanics, and other things that will help you find your passion and get you paid to do what you love too.
October - November: Capture the Moments
Homecoming: Homecoming is a special time, and you’ll want to capture it! Schedule a mini-session for homecoming photos. Trust me, these memories are worth it.
Yearbook Photos: Make sure you know the deadlines for your yearbook photos. Submit your senior portraits and any other required photos on time.
Start College Applications: Begin working on your college applications. Keep track of deadlines and make sure to get letters of recommendation from your teachers.
Senior Portraits: If you haven’t already, get your senior portraits done! We’ll create beautiful, timeless photos that you’ll cherish forever. Book your session here.
December - January: Mid-Year Checkpoint
Finalize College Applications: Complete and submit all your college applications. Double-check everything to make sure it’s perfect.
Holiday Photos: Consider scheduling a holiday-themed photo session with your friends or family. It’s a fun way to celebrate the season and make lasting memories.
Check Yearbook Deadlines: Make sure all your photos and entries for the yearbook are submitted. This includes senior quotes, baby photos, and any club or activity photos, and senior ads.
Cap and Gown: Order your cap and gown for graduation. It might seem early, but it’s better to be prepared.
Senior Portraits Reminder: If you still haven’t scheduled your senior portraits, now is the time! Don’t wait any longer to capture these special moments.
February - March: Focus on Fun
Plan for Prom: Start planning for prom. Schedule your prom photoshoot with me to ensure you get beautiful, professional photos of this unforgettable night.
Spring Break Plans: Make the most of your spring break. Whether you’re traveling or staying local, consider scheduling a fun photoshoot to capture your adventures.
Stay on Top of Schoolwork: Keep up with your studies. It’s easy to get distracted with all the fun events, but staying focused is key.
April - May: The Home Stretch
Prom Night: Enjoy your prom night to the fullest! Schedule a pre-prom photoshoot to capture you and your friends in your glamorous outfits.
Senior Activities: Participate in all the senior activities and events your school offers. These are moments you’ll treasure.
Prepare for Graduation: Make sure you have everything you need for graduation day. Check the dates and plan your family celebrations.
Final Senior Portraits: If you want a few last-minute senior photos in your cap and gown, schedule a quick session. It’s a wonderful way to wrap up your senior year.
June: Celebrate and Reflect
Graduation Day: This is your big day! Enjoy every moment and take plenty of photos with family and friends.
Thank You Notes: Send thank you notes to teachers, mentors, and anyone who helped you along the way.
Summer Fun: Celebrate your achievements over the summer. Plan trips, hang out with friends, and make the most of your time before college.

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.

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. 🌟
For everyone reading, if you’re considering a senior prom mini portrait session, Rio Salado Park is a fantastic choice. The natural beauty and versatility of the location make it perfect for capturing those special moments. And remember, it’s all about having fun and being yourself. That’s when the magic happens!
