Oasis Ensembles
Sail Away with @oasisensembles 🌊⛵️ 🌊
I got to visit Oasis at practice in March and see them perform in their virtual @wgisportofthearts show run! While I can’t share their official show music, I took a little video and added Post Av’s awesome etheric “Sea Salt” to the clips- check out their hard work in action!
Awesome run everyone!!!
Don't bother
You said it's
Carried inside
I'm stubborn
Near panic
In my design
Sea color haze in
Modern faces
Medicate
Salt in the rain, your
Love is patient
I can't wait
And you slow me down
I'm not afraid when you're around
Sea color haze in
Modern faces
Medicate
Salt in the rain, your
Love is patient
I can't wait
Jared Class of 2021 | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Phoenix
“Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.” - Simon Sin
I knew Jared was a world-class percussionist, incredible marcher in band and battery performance, good looking, and my favorite- a super funny and lighthearted guy. What I totally didn’t expect was how cool and easy he made getting photos taken look. He switched gears from smiles to edgy expressions- he posed like a freaking model! Awesome work Jared!

Brooke Class of 2021 | Phoenix Senior Pictures | Anjeanette Photography Az
Phoenix School for the Arts dancer Brooke was a joy to watch twirl and leap- and have a bit of a Disney princess moment with a roadrunner (name unknown) at the Desert Botanical Gardens. She absolutely glowed in the December afternoon sun as it drifted over the cacti in the Ottosen garden! Congratulations on your upcoming commencement and future adventures!
“Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Shadow Mountain High School | Epic Paradise Valley Teams!
SHADOW MOUNATIN MARCHING MATADORS BAND
One of my favorite bands in Arizona! I wanted to wait to share until we could do more in person photos but this band’s director is serious about their safety above all so with this weird and wild year that has been 2020 we may not get another chance to get together for those- hence the composite group photo above! Yep, those are all separate images I stitched together so the kids could have a sense of a senior group photo in uniform.
The Marching Matador boosters led by Carleton and Sara Hawkins found me a few years ago on Google, and we fast became good friends. Sara is a champion of all the arts and is an amazing above and beyond supporter of my work and all-around great lady. She does so much for her daughter’s band, the Phoenix Youth Symphony, friends and family, and a bunch of other groups I can’t even name! She even came to different Shadow Mountain team sessions to assist me for picture days! Sara and her family mean so much to me, and I know how much the band program means to her and her family. It is a bittersweet year indeed with her girl graduating. I will miss seeing her every fall for picture day- but hopefully will see her around many more places instead! She is a rare and precious person indeed!
Congratulations Marching Matadors Class of 2021!
Congrats to the Class of 2021 | Sandra Day O'Connor Eagle Pride Marching Band | Senior Banners!
Some of the seniors from the Eagle Pride band asked me to make their Senior Night Banners! Since my daughter graduated and all the craziness of the world befell us, I have missed seeing these young people and watching their program grow!! It was a super-secret night planned by their parents where their class is celebrated. I’m positive they had no idea why they came to my home studio for portraits right ;) Some parents make gorgeous, elaborate signs, so I am so honored that a group of parents asked me out for these 48”x36” vinyl poster for their students! I know how much this meant to me as a former EP parent to have one for my girl her last year in the program <3
I am just so glad they get to have their senior night after all the disappointments and events lost out on!! I pray for better healthier days for all of us and the very best for the class of 2021 as they tackle their new adventures!!!

Projection: ra·di·ance in Music | Oonagh
Above: Projection of original cover art for Neon Bible by Tracy Maurice and François Miron for Arcade Fire with Merge Records.
There has always been a place for rhythmic sounds that can communicate our feelings." Exploring your mind: Psychology
My daughter has a very hectic schedule. No, we really are not one of those who overschedule kid's, not that there is anything wrong with being an active family. She has passions and drive all her own thank you and we support them. But behind every drawing, every book or math problem has always been music. When daily life stress overwhelms her, she soothes with music either dancing with her headphones or drawing to music. When she is elated-music! No surprise she plays like a thousand instruments.
And in between, she puts up with me taking thousands of photos and documenting her passion and life. We had fun playing with a projector last week! On the occasion of Oonagh’s birthday, for the very very very tentatively titled "Oonagh's favorite songs" project we have been working on off and on for over a year. This in no way encompasses all the music she loves…hopefully the project will continue on!
Above: Projection of original art by JR: Everything Now installation for Arcade Fire. More about the artist JR and musical artists Arcade Fire here. This photography by Anjeanette Photography. Visit Arcade Fire
Above: Ólafur Arnalds albums “Re:Member” (in blue) and “For Now I am Winter” (grey).
A little about the images I photographed: For the B0RNS album, we built the cover design set with nothing but painted paper- even the white shirt is white lacey paper! Ok, ok the suit is fabric, and her hair obvs. Next for the remaining album or single track art homages, we used a projector, not Photoshop. I love PS, this just wasn’t how we got the album art up for this ;) Other tools used were strobe Flashpoint falshes, a triangle prism, plastic sheets and blue gel squares. Originally the idea to do this began from recent experiments with gel lighting, then later I looked it up and saw that there is so much truth to the saying "there is nothing new under the sun"- because it seems like everyone is getting some awesome artistic photography going with projectors recently!! Heck yeah! Don't worry about that, don't let the fact that there is nothing new that hasn't been done discourage you. Do it anyway, play with your art because it has never been done by YOU, and your voice like music is what unites us. SO, ANYWAY, I was checking out some Jake Hicks gel lighting tutorials on ProEDU (as recommended by David Byrd) ...and I saw a Jake Hicks projector mini tutorial. Then I started playing! I held up a piece of clear plastic for the ghosty white in two of these, and a prism for the one (bouncing it off the projector light because I was standing right next to it in that one- don't think it would work from another angle bc besides the strobe to light to light her face no light in the room) So you can totally get flare and prism and those effects really easily in PS and I do all the time, art is art! We were just playing and sometimes its fun to see what can happen “in real life” I tried a projector that was basically my phone in a fancy cardboard box and it did NOT get great results. We used an Epson digital for this that I borrowed from my husband's studio. The colour was fantastic! I ran into issues Jake mentions like chromatic abrasion on wall image (esp with BW lines etc) and the ‘screen door effect’ where you see pixels so I pushed the projector as close to her as possible and unsharpened (blurred) the focus a tiny bit and that helps. I would love to try with a film slide projector! I still have slides of my old work!! One part I love less but is basically a PART you cant control is shadows- so she def is going to cast a shadow duh hahahh! I didn’t want just straight ahead perspectives however so ya gotta live with those. A few others I used a second gelled strobe and that was really great. Sooooo much angling so that the strobe doesn’t wash out the projection! We got clear mod heels and the white painter coverall from Amazon. It was the smallest they had but still 10 sizes too big for my girl so there are a lot of pleats and a tape belt. Smoke and mirrors baby. Oooh, I should have used some mirrors! Staring camera info (I changed it up as needed throughout- play with it!) iso100, 35mm, f/1.4-2.8, 1/200ss Epson printer tethered to Mac using HDMI cord. Sometimes we messed with the perspective and blur knobs. All rights and respect go to the music and artistic directors and original artists of the original images! DIrect credit as I could find it below each image, original images projected are only belonging to the artists created them and those they have agreements with etc. None of the original artwork projected belongs to me..

Rylie Class of 2020 | Phoenix Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography Peoria Arizona
Athlete Rylie visited her favorite state Arizona for epic senior pictures this month while on a whirlwind tour of gymnastic competitions and clinics across the Southwest. She is expected to excel at a top level in all areas of the demanding sport, but she says her favorite parts are uneven bars, balance beam. Her hard work and training were really evident in every effortless movement from walking, to posing, to leaping on top of a mountain barefoot she made it look so easy! A fun session full of smiles and grace!

Smoke Bomb Grenades | Add some fun colour and drama to your Phoenix senior portraits! | Anjeanette Photography Peoria, Az
There is just something so epic about being enveloped in an aesthetic cloud of colour!
Long-time staple of the extreme sports and paintball worlds, smoke grenades took off as stunning photo props several years ago. And the products colours, consistency, and length of time you get to shoot while one release keeps getting more awesome!
It's important that my seniors keep in mind that I have to follow important safety rules when using them- they fall into the same category as fireworks so I need to be sure to only use them in seasons when it is legal to use fireworks. In Phoenix, it is legal to set off novelty fireworks such as sparklers or smoke bombs in safe areas- like asphalt or concrete away from flammables. They can stain so keeping them away from garments or surfaces that are vulnerable (parking lots are perfect for smoke grenades) Regardless of the season or time of year I never use them in natural areas near grass, trees, etc- it's Arizona and basically almost always dry. I have used them on rocks if there is no brush, weeds, or sticks of any kind within a 100-foot radius. They are also expensive- they kind I use puts out a LOT of gorgeous amazing smoke and colour- but at $12 each for approximately 60-90 seconds we have to make every second of them count, and I only offer one per session if it is in an appropriate area.
Isabel Class of 2019 | Phoenix Senior graduation portraits | Anjeanette Photography Peoria
Another fantastic senior session with Isabel at the Desert Botanical Gardens! Izzy danced and posed, and twirled in blue smoke- so many great memories to deliver to her and her family this week!
Jayde Perry High School AZ | Phoenix Graduation Pictures & Senior Portrait session | Anjeanette Photography Peoria Az
I am so blessed to have met Jayde! I didn’t know that I had already met her twice- or at least my camera had- at WGI winterguarde competitions the past two season!
She is a fantastic young person, gorgeous in every way, and she did such an amazing job at her senior session with so many lovely looks and her spunky personality!
