Ben Class of 2020 Shadow Mountain High | Paradise Valley Senior | Anjeanette Photography Az
Awesome senior portrait session and awesome conversation. Great meeting up with Shadow Mountain Matador Ben for his senior session this month! We checked out the Scottsdale Civic Center plaza area with the incredible Contemporary Art Museum, a very, VERY, green grassy quad, and one of my favorites for golden honey light- the parking garage with an amazing view of historic Olde Towne Arizona! I met Ben a few years ago through the SMHS Marching band, where he is an accomplished trumpet player. Ban's band is a fantastic organization where kids learn, laugh, and find a home with music. For this year's Band Senior banners we designed custom posters on vinyl to hang in the stadium. We went for epic and determined expressions on blue to partially match their show theme of space- and it was no surprise to me when the Marching Matadors qualified in State Competition to moved onto Super States! During his session, I enjoyed chatting about cameras and gadgets, and hearing about Ben's adventures in New York with his family, his music, and GCU plans for the future! A bright future ahead for this sharp kid!

Project Lunacy | Shutterfest Photography conference | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix
Took a few days off for the Project Lunacy photography conference sponsored by Shutter Magazine & Shutterfest created by Salvatore Cincotta Photography. There is always more to learn and new ways to grow by challenging your work as a photographer and artist through photography education, connecting with vendors, and networking with other professionals. I brought my own gear, but everyone also had an opportunity to use the Profoto B10 & B10 Plus - and while I love my Flashpoints it was nice to experiment with some other industry leaders in off-camera flash.
I had the chance to spend the first day in small groups at the Superstition Mountains with Sal himself, as well as ProPhoto reps and instructors, then spent day two soaking up Photoshop knowledge and gel lighting tips with instructor David Byrd. A fantastic way to get reinspired and amped up for part two of the fall & holiday season- and cannot WAIT to hone new techniques in this springs Senior season!
Models in order as pictured:

Sofia Class of 2020 | Roosevelt Row Senior Session | Anjeanette Photography Peoria Az
I was so excited to capture some downtown Phoenix artistic senior portraits with Sofia, future graphic designer and all-around cool kid. Now she is making this look like a professional shoot- she is flawless and effortless in her modeling. But let me tell you- it was HOT. We planned a session for after the heat and wouldn't you know it was a surprising high temp day. Hey even in PHX we have our cool months and normally plan for less intense days, it should have been high desert 70s- it was a shocking 100+. None of that phased how these photos turned out, Sofia KILLED her session!! We explored the Roosevelt Row murals and even came upon a Helvetica type font tag to match her gorgeous hair that made this art students designers day!
Cali Class of 2020 | SDOHS West MEC Phoenix Senior | Anjeanette Photography Peoria Arizona
Cali is an amazing young woman, talented, smart, and funny- and wise beyond years. She is pretty awesome and I hope she will always remember that! We split up Cali’s senior session so that she could do part at West Mec in her garage and part outside with her music. So glad we were able to capture both for this incredible young woman.
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!

Dylan Class Of 2020 | MRHS | Phoenix Graduation Pictures & Senior Portrait sessions Anjeanette.Photography
Fantastic Summer senior session with avid hiker and naturalist Dylan last week at White Tanks Mountain Park! Dylan is a photographer too so we had a great time talking shop and getting fun images in the mountains. Like my family Dylan and his visited and feel in love with Arizona, and couldn’t wait to get here among the wild cacti and adventure. Have a fantastic senior year in Phoenix Dylan!
For small photography sessions (5 folks and under) the White Tanks Rangers are very friendly and accommodating with a small fee and just breath taking views and trails. Be careful of the waterfall area in the hot months- if there is any water in the small basin at the bottom there are so many bees! Leave the area and them, ah, “be” because we need those guys and nobody wants to end a hike with a thousand stings.

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!
Lauren Class of 2019 | Downtown Phoenix Graduation Pictures | Anjeanette Photography Senior Photos Peoria, Phoenix Az
I have had the pleasure of knowing her a few years now as she has lead my daughters band, and can I just say this kid is so dang cool! Lauren is a leader, a musician, and a haircut trendsetter- but she’s also the kindest, coolest, and funniest person! Loved out session down on roosevelt Row in Phoenix- we visited all the murals and lite them up with Lauren’s smile and some smoke bombs! Can’t wait to read all about her future adventures!!!
Mikaela Class of 2019 | Downtown Phoenix | Anjeanette Photography Seniors
The splashes of colour and city vibe have def been the most popular spots this high school senior portrait session season! We are so blessed to live in a vibrant fun city with so many neat spots- and Mikaela rocked them all! From Roosevelt Row to Grand ave this Arizona girl stunned in her graduation photo session!
We had some help from Mikaleas brother Aaron- he manned the Ice Light on a fushia setting to create the zig zag halo behind her head for this photo!
Shoot Out with Valerie Waldvogel | The Glendale DUMP Styled Shoot | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Peoria, Phoenix Az
I am SO tired of all the styled shoots that are "pretty" let's be honest for a second...I WANT REAL LIFE. I want you to think outside the box. How do you react in real life situations. -Valie Waldvogel, VW Photography
The other night I got to go on a photography ‘playdate’ - you know us photographers, the glitz, the glam, the dump. Yep, we went to the dump! Shout out to Valerie Waldvogel for styling, providing amazing models, and securing the most wondrous of locations: aka the Glendale Dump for her new monthly styled sessions “What I See Shoot” aimed at photographers on every leg of their journey from noobies with their first dslr to more seasoned, professional photographers.
(Hmm what seasoning would I be? Am I in the Cumin stage of pro photography or a little more Paprika?)
Valerie used this session to provide education and experience to a group she taught throughout the afternoon , and to just boost camaraderie with all of us- be it on on manual mode with our own photography businesses or first ‘real’ camera.The shoot was a reminder to challenge oneself - find beauty in any situation, any location. I had a great afternoon meeting everyone in my group, folks in other groups, and just enjoying the warm sunshine through the lens.
Getting out and practicing and playing isn’t something you ever ‘get too good’ for. Creative meet ups like this one Valerie organized keep the passion alive!
Always learning, always experimenting, always evolving!
These beautiful models and dresses have me like…PROM…though!! Moody or bright and airy- I love prom season! It is just around the corner believe it or not, and I already have booking for April 27th…make #PROM2K19 plans today!
Want to connect with VW Photography and come to a shoot?
Getcha links to tickets here!

Had a fantastic time exploring downtown with Charis and her mom❤ She is such a smart, happy, and bubbly person- fantastic images and conversation!!! Pretty sure she can slay anything she wants to- go get it girl!
I told her mom, however, that there was a problem. Far too many of these photos are amazing and just picking a few favorites has been one of the hardest decisions I have had all week! Can’t wait to see all this kid is going to accomplish in the future!!
We played with faerie lights inspired by @brandonwoelfel awesome style after the sun went down on @karis.kalei fab senior session downtown! Been wanting to try this for a while-💯bokeh captured in camera- edited but no overlays. Heck, I love overlays and such, we just didn't need to use em this time once we found some neon in Phoenix

"Those freckles make you seem like a galaxy of stars..." Nikita Gill
I adore those freckles! Alexis did an amazing job at her session despite a strange & blustery dust wind blowing through Scottsdale. Her bubbly, vivacious personality made the photo session around the canal and through Olde Towne a fun adventure!
