The commitment Logan continues to make with everything he does is pretty exceptional. He heading to NAU as a top academic achiever while part of the Academy of American Studies (SDOHS's 4-year program focusing on civic engagement and advanced placement classes), which earned him the coveted Lumberjack scholarship. Additionally, he is an Eagle Scout, and a trumpet player in his school's competitive marching and concert band. On top of all that- he has the mindset, dedication, and made the sacrifices to push his limits in bodybuilding fitness. Amazing!

Larissa rocked her senior portrait session wearing hip black ankle boots and skirts in Anthem Az! One of my favorite places to take senior pictures - a lush garden full of cultivated grassy lawns with musical waterfalls - was the backdrop for Larissa wearing her soon to be college sweatshirt and then boho tops to compliment her beautiful long hair. Even the nearby desert granted her wish with a vista of saguaro cacti and dense brush making the mountainside green as I have ever seen it for far as the eyes could see. How big are her beautiful eyes?? So gorgeous!

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Larissa and your very bright future ahead!

Absolutely fantastic senior portrait session with Mya last week! This bright and vivacious senior wanted a half the session outside with purple smoke and sunshine, as well as some indoor studio shots where she could show off her fashion sense with amazing poses and flair! She glows! If she ever wanted a modeling career, this lady has talent in spades. Mya is a young motivated entrepreneur who created the interview vlog blog ISSA MVT to showcase impactful individuals. Check out a few of my favorite of Mya's senior pictures taken in beautiful Anthem and my home studio in North Phoenix near Westwing Mountain.

I have know Michaela and her wonderful folks since we moved to Arizona and they welcomed us into their high school marching band family! Michaela is an accomplished musician and leader in her top-rated competitive performance band, and one simply cannot give enough thanks to her parents for all that they give to the heart and soul of all the kids, band directors, and staff. The phrase 'countless hours' gets thrown around a lot- in this case it is a lot more like 'countless months' I am a big fan of Michael's art, her sense of humor, and her adorable smile. The cutest nose wrinkle! She did an amazing job at her session, from styling to all the silly prompts I asked her to do :) SO honored and blessed that she and her folks chose me to be her senior photographer!

The mountains called Julia! Something adventurous and unusual- so we took a road trip to Rock Springs and Sunset Point for epic views and sunkissed wind in the hair moments. Julia is one of the esteemed Drum Majors at O'Connor, who helped lead her band in their return to Super State competition this fall. This spring she is performing in Regional concert band performances and auditioning for college music programs as a flutist.

Rock Springs (otherwise known as the "Pie Rest Stop" had little surprises around every corner, cute vignettes set up for weddings and events, tiny caves, and a mountain top view in the back. As well as excellent cream pie according to Julia and her family! After a little while, we raced the sun to the long grasses and vista just north of Sunset Point rest stop. It is no wonder why this spot is a favorite for photographers around the valley and beyond- and it was the perfect place to capture senior portraits of Julia who loves nature and the wind in her hair. It was chilly, but the warm glow of a deep sunset kept us warm enough until just after blue hour when we were able to get amazing views and sunbursts into the sky. I have often driven by this spot and longed for a session there each time. So happy that Julia felt the call of the long golden grasses there too and chose me to get photos of this special time in her life- graduating high school!

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!

Studies have shown that music can buoy your mood and fend off depression. It can also improve blood flow in ways similar to statins, lower your levels of stress-related hormones like cortisol and ease pain. Listening to music before an operation can even improve post-surgery outcomes.

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..

Steven Class of 2020 | Phoenix Senior Pictures | Anjeanette Photography Arizona

high school graduation portraits photographer Anjeanette Photography Phx Arizona BEST Places to take senior pictures  Peoria Az senior grad photos Anthem GILBERT CHANDLER ANTHEM

Steven is a kid after my old early 90's chick heart- at home in the city surround by sick art, hanging on garage buildings with friends messing around with cameras, skateboards, and ideas dreaming about the future. He is into authentic fashion and vintage clothing so he had some great pieces picked out- and yep I must be vintage because they were clothes many of my North Detroit friends would have worn 'back in the day'. I def think he has an awesome eye for threads!!

When they started looking for photos to match his unique rad personality, Steven and his mom looked to Insta for artistic style senior pics. I love Instagram- all the pretty photos- less of the drama and politics. So glad they found my seniors only IG in all the amazing Phoenix senior photography options! Steven and his family were fantastic, I am so happy to meet them and honored to capture some cool shots to celebrate Steven's last year of high school!

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!

Jake is just really effortlessly cool- like a little bit fashionable B0RNS, a little bit rock n roll- and classical pianist twist. Had a fantastic time shooting his senior portraits in downtown Phoenix at BeCoffee and hitting all the new the RoosRow murals. Awesome backdrop for an awesome guy!

His mom Kerry is an accomplished photographer as well, (check out Native SKy on IG) and we had a blast walking around posing him and setting off Enola Gaye Smoke bombs. How GQ IS this guy??? Great session Jake- thanks for choosing me as your senior photographer!

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!

2019 Fall Marching Band Season Scrapbook | SDOHS SMHS

I have been in love with the marching arts for over 20 years- and this fall was no exception. Proud to have helped capture memories for Deer Valley School Districts Sandra Day O’Connor and District Invitational, as well as Paradise Valley Schools districts Shadow Mountain Marching Matadors! Can’t wait to start taking more keepsakes for bands in fall 2020!

The Marching Matadors

Proud of the Shadow Mountain High School Marching Matadors for finishing a successful season! The marching band performs at school pep assemblies, varsity football games (home and away), parades, and marching band invitationals and festivals. This year under the direction of Santa Clara Vanguard alumn Natan Simon, thay ended their season in November by being selected after state preliminaries for the 2019 ABODA State Marching Band Championship Super State Competition performing with marching bands from across the state of Arizona. This year's show was a fun alien-themed performance titled "Keep Looking Up" Every year this Paradise Valley high school band gets better and better, I can’t wait to see what they do next year!

Eagle Pride Band

Congratulations to the Eagle Pride Marching band on a successful marching season with their show "Wanderlust" under the direction of new fine Arts Music Director Amy Frost. The Sandra Day O'Connor high band trained from early July and back into back in Super State completion to complete their season, finishing 6th in the state of Arizona. This year Anjeanette Photography partnered with the OC band boosters to donated the design, photography, and printing for all 21 senior banners- the first time the band had banners on the main football field fences alongside Cheer, Pom, Football. It was fantastic to see the senior's faces as they saw their faces under the Friday Night Lights! there are a lot of kids on the field on Friday nights from Sports Therapy students to the student yearbook staff and teams...everyone out there is working hard and deserves recognition! I had a great time following the team as a part of the OC Media Team headed by Scott & Tracy Benjamin. My own daughter was a marching senior- so although I love all the kids I was above and beyond proud to see her perform from the sidelines. Wonderful memories were made for 200 plus students, parents, and staff. Excited to see where you go next- Go Eagles!

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!

The 2019 Band Invitational was such a success! Beautiful evening, beautiful music. Love seeing all the kids from all the awesome Deer Valley schools cheer each other on! Regardless of what happens on the field of competition, the high school marching bands of Deer Valley Unified School District- and all marching bands really, are comrades. they lift each other up, they cheer for each other, they applaud solos and get excited about guard tosses and intricate dot maneuvers. Marching band is more than just a sport- and yes its a sport look it up- it’s a team-building experience that positively leads young people and teaches them to be leaders. Go band!

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.

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!

best Places to take senior graduation pictures Sandra Day O’Connor High School Phoenix Peoria Az Anthem high school portraits grad photographer Anjeanette Photography Phx Arizona

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.

I actually like to keep my packages pretty simple! 30mins for the more camera shy senior, two hours with a mini senior movie (the most popular), and the travel Adventure package!

For my daughter’s road trip session we started from Phoenix to Palm Springs, California. The next day we hit Newport Beach and Balboa Pier, then onto a day in Los Angeles where we visited The Last Bookstore - has to be seen by any book lover- and the MOCA. Another day on the beach at El Matador and La Piedra for gorgeous sea spray and sand. We popped by the Rose Bowl to catch a DCI drum corps show one day, then we were off to one of my bucket list photo session spots: the Nelson Nevada Ghost Town and Eldorado Canyon Mine Tours!

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.
