Carissa Class of 2021

Fabulous epic senior session photoshoot with Carissa!! What a way to cap off a sorta, ho-hum pandemic era senior year. We packed a LOT in the afternoon from laundry mats, to bookstores, to ferris wheels and the always awesome Mill Ave in Tempe.

Carissa lights up on camera and made every shot effortless, great modeling! Such a fun-filled day, and incredible memories for this musician, thinker, and artistic young lady. She reminded me of Belle from Beauty and The Beast in Bookmans bookstore. Congrats on your upcoming graduation Carissa!!

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

“To be who you are and become what you are capable of is the only goal worth living.”

— Alvin Ailey, American Dance Theater

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!

Music by: Sød Ven "State of Mind"

“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

Jenessa Class of 21 | Phoenix Senior Pictures by Anjeanette Photography

“Come little children, I’ll take thee away, into a land of Enchantment. Come little children, the time’s come to play, here in my garden of magic.””

— Sarah Sanderson, Hocus Pocus

There was definitely magic in the air for Jenessa’s senior portrait session in Sedona! Maybe some of it was the red rocks, cool creek, autumn leaves, or swirling vortex ;) ….but MOSTLY it was Jenessa!!

Her bewitching personality and gorgeous smile put a spell on my camera!

“You are all the colors in one, at full brightness.”

— Jennifer Niven

Gorgeous, fiery Z absolutely stunningly killed her Phoenix senior session at The Grand downtown and the Desert Botanical Garden! What a great session with this spunky young lady and came ready with fantastic outfit choices and polished hair and makeup so for me it was one of the reasons I love my job- a fashion shoot with amazing images!

Z has an amazing spirit and outlook - and is making the most of her class of 2021 senior year.

Sweet Steffi wanted a pretty, wild & natural area for her senior portraits- and decided on Dreamy Draw! This Az School of the Arts soon to be grad glowed in the sunshine!
Steffi is an ASU High School Musical Theatre Award winner for costuming- and has the theatre 🎭on her mind as she plans for future adventures! She said she has been accepted to her “safe” options...I am excited to see what she chooses and what risks she takes in her future!

Awesome session with Hannah this week! Triple threat musical and Artistic, this D&D role player extraordinaire (and so much more) has the spunk and heart to carry her dreams to the finish!

Ashley has such an energetic and happy spirit! Her smiles and laughs made this cloudy Saturday senior session shine bright!

She is still choosing the right after high school experience, but looking at a bunch of colleges and possibly even the photographic arts! Congratulations on your senior year Ash!!! Go get that world!

Science tells us our memories are changing. Changing because of our access to information, computer use, emotional maturity and the world around us. Understanding of what a memory even is has grown. Changing for the better in many ways. In other ways we understand more now that, well, really, what we remember isn’t even true based on a multitude of factors like perception, recall, and our of so human tendency to focus on the dreadful. Modern cognitive theory of a sensory memory, a short-term memory and a long-term memory has always been studied by humans, but really took off in the 60’s and 70’s as medical equipment was able to measure and compile more information to study. When combined with the long history of memory study…we gained a better understanding of how our memory works. Basically, it’s lying to us. Yet we are in control of those half or missed truths about what really happened during a moment that we lived.

Why do I bring this up in the middle of a senior session blog? Because by all reasonable standards this year has sucked. We know it, everyone is saying it’s the worst, all the news confirms that everything is terrible and it is just going to get worse and worse with an excited gleam in their eyes. Those who should be our most trusted elder members of society complain, and yell, and have told us they have looked back and compared to all memory this is the worst year ever in the history of forever. They are not wrong that it’s been terrible. Heartbreakingly we have lost so many souls we can't get back. Another reason photographs of those we love are so very important! The election turmoil has hurt us all. We cannot deny the hurt our society inflicts on so many of its members from people of color, to women, to those differently-abled. We have to do better. We all have pandemic fatigue we cannot let win.

We need to be safe and careful- we need to look to faith and science and stop ignoring the dangers of climate, the treatment of others less privileged, and political concerns. We also need to breathe, stop hoarding toilet paper, and live a little too. Neither can we forget the improvements this new era has brought us, it’s better by far than medieval times, so we know we are capable of great things. No pressure,eh?

We can’t always 100% trust our memory-which isn’t such a bad thing after all! We have a generation of kids here- Gen Z- that is the most well-informed, compassionate, strong, and thoughtful generation. Just because maybe not everyone appreciates that or understands their TikToks and IG posts and writes them off as just kids (exactly as THEIR parents and grandparents did before them- nudge-nudge) doesn’t mean it isn’t true. These kids are poised to be the next greatest generation. Support them. Celebrate them, help them. and get their moments of joy in a tough world truly memorized in a photo whenever you can. They are also the most documented and photographed generation so they can handle it hahahahah.

Find moments of joy and photograph the shit out of them, then hold onto THOSE good memories instead!

The brain in general, and memory, in particular, has a distinct negativity bias. It pays more attention to, and highlights, unpleasant experiences.

The brain typically detects negative information faster than positive information, and the hippocampus specifically flags negative events to make doubly sure that such events are stored in memory.

Negative experiences leave an indelible trace in the memory, even when efforts are made to “unlearn” them.

This is probably an evolutionary adaptation, given that it is better to err on the side of caution and ignore a few pleasant experiences than to overlook a negative, and possibly dangerous, event. - THE STUDY OF HUMAN MEMORY https://human-memory.net/

If we can’t trust our memory then what can we trust? Trust photos! Trust how you feel right now. Enjoy the moments, smile, and be present. Capture the good times and hold them tight. I always ask parents to get in some photos during sessions- parents GET IN THE DAMN PICTURES. Your kiddos deserve a photo of you together. Nobody who really matters gives a crap if you gained some COIVD pounds or don’t like your bangs. They NEED those photos of you for the hearts mamas.

One of the major lessons of memory research has been that human memory is fallible, imprecise, and subject to interference. Thus, although observers can remember thousands of images, it is widely assumed that these memories lack detail. Contrary to this assumption, long-term memory is capable of storing a massive number of objects with details from a (photographic) image. -

Visual long-term memory has a massive storage capacity for details by:

Timothy F. Brady, Talia Konkle, George A. Alvarez, and Aude Oliva

Look to change the world in one of the ways we all can every single day: do good whenever you can, care for each other and yourselves, smile and remember happy times and make happy times now with complete obstinance. Being happy in troubling times is an act of defiance we need more of. Be a rebel. Be like Ashley! Smile and laugh through the cloudy days and rock your senior portrait with confidence and happiness. Thank you for coming to my complete ramble of a Ted Talk ;p

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-

“Life is TEN percent what happens to you, and NINETY percent how you respond to it. ”

— Lou Holtz

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

I fall in love with every project I am a part of- I am become emotional and professionally invested in capturing the memories of every client! Most family and senior sessions have full session galleries up and ready to view in less than 3 weeks. I always offer a 24 hour social media sneak peek to share with anyone you wish!

To look through portfolios and really consider what you want your family or senior images to look like- a photographers website or printed materials should show you what level of work to expect from them! 

What you see is what you get so find the style that perfectly matches what you want!

Budget so that you do not have to hire one whose photos you do not LOVE. Why? Few families hang the graduation cake or cap and gown above the mantle, fewer still hand those items down to children and grandchildren. 

Photos memorizing your priceless moments are what you get to share and

remember by as the years go by- they are treasures!

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!

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!

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!!!

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!

FALL IS BOOKING FAST- NOVEMBER IS ALREADY FULL

GET THE FREE GUIDE & BOOK NOW!

Phoenix senior Pictures Free Guide!

Praying the world gets healthy soon, we all grow stronger, & you lead us into a better future...& that school starts back soon in REAL LIFE so you can get back and see your friends!

How FUN are IG REELS??? See you there!

Some fantasy edits I did during the hot summertime off season- just for fun! Usually I prefer to keep it natural and full of soft glowing golden light - sometimes it is just fun to play! If you want to see what you can expect from your session check here: Outdoor Portfolio

Class of 2020 Instagram stories | The details changed- your accomplishments haven't!!!

Cap and Gown sessions are some of my favorites. This year they are so bittersweet. This year...whew.
I am sure you are sick of hearing that you are resiliant, that you will overcome, that you will be stronger for it.
That is all true- but honestly? This year sucked. And this was supposed to be THE year right? You worked hard for 12 years and certainly deserved better. You should be celebrated and cheered. Cheering from the internet just doesn’t feel the same. I def feel a little lame typing encouragement from the couch instead of jumping up and down in a school auditorium or stadium- but I really really DO believe in you.
This class, this generation that won’t meekly sit by and ignore injustice. This generation that gives a you-know-what about each other and the earth and everything. So yeah maybe I sound like a rambling mom cheerleader but damn, boy- you rock! All of you!!! I do think you will prevail above and beyond complacent survival. Yeah yeah surviving is important. I don’t want just surviving for any of you. I want you to thrive. You will be stronger because of everything that has been and to bring better things out of these ashes.

To heavily copy/paste from “5 Ways Tragedy Makes You A Hella-Strong Person”
by Aly Walansky: “We never want to experience tragedy or see anyone we care about have to go through it, but it's undeniable that those who do suffer tragedy emerge even stronger and have a better grip on true happiness.

A study in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that exposure to adverse experiences may foster mental resilience and may make people less affected by recent adverse events. This goes to show that, in moderation, whatever does not kill us may indeed make us stronger. “

Congratulations #classof2020 Now go kick some ass!
