Kayla Class of 2021 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Az
Absolutely amazing session with North Dakota Class of 2021 grad to be Kayla! This model & gymnast has Arizona in her heart and longed for the vibe of the desert to accompany her portraits- and she brought her own glow and free spirited beauty with her! She couldn’t wait to Wanderbabe it out onto the mountains surrounding the sun valley and explore the city of Phoenix with stylish outfits, hats, and a kick ass pair of Doc’s. Congrats Kayla and thank you for choosing me for your fun-tastic senior picture session!
Not much beats the vistas of Papago at Sunset-
love that soft peachy pink sky!

SMHS Football | Matadors Class of 2021 | friday night lights athletes phoenix arizona
Congratulations Shadow Mountain Football! Just a few more games to finish off a ..well just really really weird season right? So thankful these athletes could participate in senior year no matter what it looked like!
“Life is TEN percent what happens to you, and NINETY percent how you respond to it. ”
These Matadors are not stepping down or stepping back. Showing up to practice, putting in the work, keeping a great attitude. Understanding that current events doesn’t define them but prevailing through with integrity and hard work does. Congrats Class of 2021 Matador Football on all of your future success!
Footbal Pom & Cheer have a tradition of gathering for end zone group portraits before senior night!

“In its Global Millennial Survey 2020, Deloitte found that despite the pressure and uncertainty younger workers are feeling, a majority see a silver lining among the dark clouds. For instance, three-quarters of Millennials and Gen Z say the pandemic has helped them to be more empathetic to the needs of others. About the same portion say the circumstances have spurred them to take actions that will have a positive impact on their community.
Agility, resilience and a positive attitude are bedrock traits upon which a person can learn and grow.”

Devin Class of 2021 | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Phoenix
Fantastic session with the amazing Devin! I'm not exaggerating when I say model material, poised and flawless while staying calm and easygoing even when surrounded by a ton of people also enjoying sunset sessions on the river as well as making her way in heels across a rocky beach.
Not to mention perfect outfit choices (yeah I just totally mentioned them) She smoothly fit 5 changes in which absolutely set the session to sparkle. Yes, I'm a cheesy as heck photo nerd- this session was so much fun to capture what photographer wouldn't be excited?!? That red top tho...ahhh!
Like a modern Eliza Bennet. <3
Devin knew she wanted a natural idyllic scene for her senior portraits so we drove a short distance from Phoenix to the Salt River area and Coonbluff campground in Mesa for images of glowing mesquite trees, romantic fields of gold at the foothills of the Arizona Superstition Mountains. Yet none of that could compare with Dev's flawless smile. I don't think I even spoke out loud very much this entire session because she was ready with authentic movements and poses that didn't look staged, fake, or posed. We just flowed from place to place while I enjoyed playing with the light and taking pictures.
Additionally, I had to thank Devin for creating my daughter's yearbook ad the previous year! I am a fellow yearbook enthusiast who adored my high school yearbook instructor and 4 years of making memories. Hopefully, I didn't go on too much about the old days of building a yearbook or bore her with dinosaur stories of a Land Before Photoshop (because we cut and paste with knives and Adobe Pagemaker was a brand new program on one of the very few computers at my school we were starting to tinker with! What's Pagemaker you ask- exactly. Think pre-pre-pre-Photoshop HA)
Enjoy your senior year Devin! It's definitely still pretty different than what most seniors expected their senior year to be like. Roll with the craziness and make the most of the experience- truly this generation is having a once in a lifetime
Thank you for choosing me as your senior photographer!
"Seventy-five years ago, a generation found the clarity and resolve needed to save the world. Another generation of young people is now on track to do the same.
We’re now witnessing the emergence of a new generation of equal moral importance: a Greatest Generation 2.0. This generation is seeing with clear eyes that they are living through yet another existential crisis that threatens all life on Earth: a global climate emergency, (not to mention the Coivd 19 Pandemic and possible second great depression)
Crisis that too many of their elders have chosen to ignore or deny.
But as the seas rise, so will this cohort of young people.
The best thing the rest of us can do is to help them win." -Jaimal Yogis

SMHS Matador Badminton! | Anjeanette Photography Senior Banners & Sport Portraits Phoenix
Loved meeting the Lady Matador Badminton team for Senior banners, Team and individual photos and buddy photos! Fun afternoon! The senior banners were a gift from Coach Weinke at Shadow Mountain for her three graduating ladies. I photographed the girls then designs a custom banners for each (plus a team banner of the seniors as my gift) The final banners arrived FAST from my printer- less than a week! I love the trade only professional banner producer I use, took a while to find just the right fit for quality, durability in the intense AZ weather, and fantastic color. Now the 36”x48” almost lifesize banners are celebrating the Class of 2021 in their home gym!
Of course, we got photos of the full Varsity and JV teams together plus lots of fun buddy photos and individual portraits!
Jessica ASU Class of 2021 | Anjeanette Photography Seniors | Phoenix AZ
Loved meeting and getting to know artist and soon to be ASU grad Jessica at her session this month!
Congratulations Jessica on graduation! I know that commitment in uncertain times was really something- can’t wait to see & hear about all she will be creating and animating! Jessica is a coding art wiz- can’t wait to geek out over her art! We had fun running around the graffiti downtown, through some pretty epic looking BBQ smoke (I can still smell it in my hair if I close my eyes), and around Papago at sunset getting her Class of 2021 Arizona State University senior portraits!
The Graffiti house! One of a kind and absolutely iconic the Phoenix monument to street art in the Roosevelt Row arts district is an ever changing work of art!

Phoenix's Most Inspiring stories | Voyage Phoenix Magazine
Thank you Voyage Phoenix Magazine for the feature!
Class of 2021 | Your missing out on a lot- you don't have to miss out on Senior Pictures!
Class of 2021, like the seniors before you, so much has altered what was supposed to be one of the best years of your life. The celebration of friends & milestones after 12 years of hard work.
Of course, there is SO much more to come and this isn't going to stop all the awesome adventures that your life will bring. But it's hard- this is HARD NOW, a disappointing way to start your big year.
You don't have to miss out on every part of senior year! Stay connected with friends on social media, make memories, research colleges, or post-grad adventures & plan your senior pictures!
YES, you can still enjoy a fun senior photos experience that is safe, socially distanced, and still vibes epic! I can help!

Roxy 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Portraits | Phoenix Az
We enjoyed the last of the cool breezes in Arizona for Roxy's senior portrait session. And what a gorgeous day with a gorgeous senior! This Chapparel Class of 2020 grad was ready to celebrate the end of her grade school career...and the end of an 'interesting' senior year to say the least! We chased the golden sunshine across the Phoenix skyline from Heritage Square to Steele Indian School Park accumulating in an amazing sunset over the Steele fountain. She rocked her session with five killer outfits and amazing smiles! Congratulations Roxy, on your accomplishments graduating from high school and on your next adventures!
Class of 2020 senior skip day champions- event cancellations do not mean you have to miss everything about senior year! Find the joy and zoom your friends- virtual games and hugs- get through these uncertain times together! When things are back to 'normal' and it is safe, we can reschedule and plan those special events as much as possible. If prom and graduation are permanently on hold- we can always have an amazing portrait session in your formals and caps and gowns when it is safe for everyone. This is a momentous time in history- it will be talked about for generations. Feeling broken-hearted that so much has changed- from sudden goodbyes to realizing the last time you were on campus already happened- that is normal. It's ok to feel grief, to mourn that loss. Know that like these hard times, that sadness and grief will not last. Be gentle with yourselves, know you are loved. Do what you can from online learning to personal enrichment, to naps or tik toks and Animal Crossing to take care of yourselves. Find ways to have peace and serenity. Journal these moments in writing, video, or art. You still have the power to make positive memories. With the stay at home order lifted in Arizona, hopefully, we reduced the curve to allow for better care for all and are all better equipped to fight this pandemic and win....the news can be scary and overwhelming, but I am constantly uplifted by stories of people helping each other, lifting each other up, and the essential workers from health care and first responders to grocery employees who are saving lives! In all the shuffle to prepare and social distance, the Class of 2020 experienced a tremendous loss. Health and safety are paramount- but the memories of a senior year lost have also been traumatic. Senior year memories are something many folks carry with them their whole lifetime. These seniors won’t have all of them. They shouldn’t have to lose all of their senior year experiences - I am so thankful that with a long lens outside I am able to provide one important of the big year- senior pictures 🧡 Stay safe 2020- you matter no matter what has happened. Your achievements have NOT changed just because the circumstances around them have!

Taylor Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona
It turns out that I actually saw Taylor about a year before we ever met! We were chatting about her love of theatre and performance and dreams of acting in college. Taylor is an accomplished actress who has performed in local youth theatre groups as well as at Sandra Day O’Connor where my own kids attend school. The theatre productions at that high school are not like the plays and musicals we put on when I was in hs- they are extremely professional and have amazing production values. That got us talking about favorite musicals, and I mentioned a few recent ones I had been to in NY and locally, including Sister Act at The Arizona Broadway Theatre that friends from church treated us to- it turns out I had already watched Taylor perform as a part of that ensemble cast!!
Taylors brought a vintage vibe to her session, with her favorite records from Billie Joel to Carole King to Fleetwood Mac with her retro sunglasses- she was so effortlessly cool. For the perfect backdrop, she had her sights set on Mill ave with its local indie bookstores and classic flashback style movie theatre - plus Sparky's ice cream parlour.
We soaked up att the sights from tiny garden nooks to parking garages with stunning views of ASU and Gammage before heading over to the Tempe Arts Center for a peachy rose sunset by the water. One fun item Taylor and her mom planned were bubbles- she loves them, and what a way to blow your cares away after a disappointment than colorful bubbles. Bubbles don't fix problems obviously, but they sure speak to the resilience of Taylor's spirit in far less than ideal circumstances. She hasn't totally made her mind up about which college she will be pursuing next year- and with so many universities postponing events it has been hard to get all of the information and auditions in to make a choice. This class of graduating seniors has had so many setbacks and pivots disrupting their lives- yet they are all seemingly taking it in stride. They have adapted to the new normals with amazing recovery rates from grief and are comfortable with their emotions and taking on hard challenges head-on with a sense of humor- anticipate remarkable things from them in the years to come. No pressure ;)
Taylor you are a star, cannot wait to see what you tackle next year and beyond!

Back when we had this session I had no idea it would be my last for....months? It was the middle of what should have been a busy senior season with exciting grads to be getting photos to celebrate their 12 years of primary and high school. Photos for invitations and announcements. Photos to decorate grad party tables. So much has changed...so many of my seniors are waiting and on hold until everything is safe. Pictures will be here when it is over. Parties with dancing in the very streets. Even if proms and ceremonies are officially canceled don’t lose hope that things can be rescheduled- or that you will find new and more amazing ways to celebrate! I will see you all when it’s over. stay safe and prepare for the next act!
Max Liberty HS Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix
Met up with Max at DC Ranch earlier last month and he did a fantastic job posing, what a fantastic smile! Who knew then that his spring break would turn into senior year finished at home? Liberty grad to be Max is a roll with it guy however, his music and drums will get him through. I loved his Eddie Redmayne fashion model vibes! Great job Max!
While the COVID19 pandemic surrounds us, I am still working on sessions from weeks back before it all hit. So thankful for clients and seniors who have been able to postponed sessions for safety, and in accordance with the Stay-At-Home orders of March 30th. I can’t wait to meet up with them later this year! Also really blessed so many folks had sessions planned earlier before everything happened. Keep your chins up Class of 2020- roadblocks have never stopped you before. Use this time to plan . You are the most optimistic and driven digital natives ever born. You CARE about what matters, you are unique, authentic, creative entrepreneurs. You are a generation poised for success, and can strategically navigate challenges- even global pandemics- to your advantage. Got get it!
Chloe DVHS Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior pictures Phoenix Arizona
Bubbly and vivacious Chloe's senior session was right before the Pandemic- literally just weeks before the "stay at home" orders were issued for Arizona and I closed up shop as a precaution for everyone's safety! Don't worry, we were still 'legal' and I used a 200mm lens to social distance :)
The tough news couldn’t hold back Chloe’s smiles though. She is a determined young woman, ready to take on the world. Plans change, and things beyond our control come up throughout life. Chloe is ready to pivot, to adapt, to be strong.
Class of 2020 senior skip day champions- event cancellations do not mean you have to miss everything about senior year! Find the joy and zoom your friends- virtual games and hugs- get through these uncertain times together!

“Praesent id libero id metus varius consectetur ac eget diam. Nulla felis nunc, consequat laoreet lacus id.”
Gen Z is are poised to change the world. Not since the greatest generation that lived through WWII and the great depression has a group of young people who care been on target for success. Later when things are more settle we can celebrate.
Right now you are going through the fire- and that strength is what will make you resilient!
PRIME FOCUS LAB | Adventures before quarantine | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Az
See the article here: https://primefocuslab.com/story-behind-the-photograph/anjeanette-photography/
Senior year for the Class of 2020 has taken a completely unexpected turn, devastating many hopes and dreams as proms, graduations and in some cases senior pictures. At the very least it has postponed them indefinitely and this year's seniors are heartbroken. I am hyper-aware of this as a senior photographer, even more so as a parent of a high school senior. Thankfully we were able to plan ahead and get some of her portraits taken at the end of summer last year right before the school year started. I just may have gone a little overboard with senior pictures! But can you really go overboard? Nah! My girl is an outside of the box dreamer, with music and art in her heart always- we wanted to plan a fun trip that also expressed her personality and charm! 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. We had many more adventures planned, from cap and gown portraits to springtime outings in her future college town that have been postponed due to the need to socially distance to protect everyone which has taken precedence. To the class of 2020- you ARE resilient! While not every moment or event can be rescheduled, no one can cancel what you have achieved and your dreams will not be on hold forever. When life has returned to normal, or a new kind of 'normal', what a celebration your schools, communities, and families will have for you. Spend this break wisely, completing school work, meditating away frustration, looking up bizarre scholarships and essay writing. Working when you can, taking care of yourselves. Nothing can keep you down long seniors- you will rise from this stronger than before!~ Anjeanette Photography
Before spring break 2020, before the quarantine, my family had a chance to take a weekend getaway to San Diego. Soon it would be my daughters last spring break with us before college. Restaurants were still open, the dog beach was busy, everyone was welcome at Salvation Mountain! What a difference a month makes. we had no idea that soon spring break would be spent at home on the couch then stretched into a month off, wondering how to complete exams, worried there would even be a prom or graduation, not sure if college orientations and summer plans to get ready were going to be possible? Have hope friends. stay safe, keep healthy. Sunny days will come again.
“We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day

So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won’t be long
They’ll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where

Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day”
yes, there are many more photos of my daughter and dog than my son- my son doesn’t love photo as much and it is important to respect his wishes :)
Teagan Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona
It is no secret that one of my favorite places to take senior pictures in Phoenix is the Desert Botanical Gardens- the gardens are so good to clients and photographers! Even popular spots become unique, even nooks and crannies that are my personal favorites are made new - the personality of each senior shines through! Teagan was no exception- her bubbly light and big gorgeous smile outshone the sun on this fantastic Arizona spring day! Teagan came ready with a plan, her mood board, and four awesome outfits, as well as her own camera so that we could capture senior year memories to express her artistic journey to graduation. Love that I get to be creative for a living - which is why I had so much fun meeting Teagan for her portrait session -she is a photographer and artist too!

Bella Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona
Simply amazing session with fashion-forward beauty Bella downtown PHX! This soon to be ASU Prep Class of 2020 graduate is poised, polished, and ready to set off for NYC in drama studies- the absolute BEST place theatre in the world!!. Great to meet with her for fun mural art-packed senior pictures on a gorgeous Arizona spring day. After a walking trip around the best of the Roosevelt Row arts district and my favorite coffee spot BeCoffee, we took a quick trip to check out the architecture outside the Orpheum. We finished in the heart of Phoenix with cityscapes and neon courtesy of Lucky Strike bowling and Stand Up Live clubs off Jefferson Street. Congratulations Bella- excited to see all you will accomplish!
Larissa MRHA Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona
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!
Mya Class of 2020 | North Phoenix senior pictures by Anjeanette Photography
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.
Taylor ASU Class of 2020 | Phoenix senior pictures by Anjeanette Photography
I first met Taylor when she coached my daughter's winter guard team, and boy can this lady dance! However, I always associate Taylor with colourful sunsets- the first time I saw her was in band photographs taken by another photographer for a school we were checking out before we moved across the country to Arizona. So I guess you could say that even before we were introduced I knew that Taylor was amazingly photogenic!! I am so honored to have been chosen for her ASU college graduation senior portraits! Have a fantastic final spring term Taylor and congratulations on your upcoming accolades!
Michaela Class of 2020 | Peoria Az senior pictures by anjeanette Photography Phoenix
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!
