Charlotte's BFF senior session was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment her friends arrived, the energy was off the charts. This wasn’t just a photo shoot – it was a celebration of friendship, laughter, and the end of an amazing high school journey.

Charlotte and her besties chose stunning Papago park for their session. The sun was shining, and the light filtering through the trees created the most beautiful glow. We started with some group shots to capture their bond. The way they interacted was so genuine and heartwarming. You could tell these friendships were built to last a lifetime.

Each of Charlotte’s friends brought their unique style to the session. From trendy outfits to casual chic, the variety was incredible. We had a blast incorporating their personalities into the photos. One of my favorite moments was when they all jumped in the air together, their joy perfectly captured in that split second. LOVE IT!

We also took some individual shots of each friend. It was important to highlight their individual achievements and personalities. They’ve all come so far and have such bright futures ahead. Charlotte, the star of the day, was radiant. Her confidence and happiness shone through in every shot. This glow is a whole vibe! 🌟

Maxie Perry High class of 2024 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Maxie's senior portrait session on Roosevelt Row was absolutely incredible! Maxie isn't just any senior; he's also a photographer. He knows how to work the camera, both in front of and behind it.

We started the sesh with Maxie showing up in the first of two fantastic outfits. Each one was on point. First, he had this casual, red polo and relaxed denims look that was effortlessly stylish. Then he switched it up with a crisp brown shirt and edgy black jeans.Every look was a total hit. LOVE IT!

Roosevelt Row is the perfect spot for photos. The murals, vibrant colors, and artsy atmosphere make it an ideal backdrop. And Maxie nailed every pose. Honestly, it was like he’d been modeling forever. 📸

One of my favorite moments was when we checked out the 1 1/2 Street Mural alley behind The Churchill. Maxie stood in front of it, and hopped up on a nearby set of mailboxes to hit all the angle. The contrast was just perfect. His posing was spot on, and we captured some stunning shots. It was like the mural was made for him. The energy of Roosevelt Row matched Maxie's personality so well – friendly, confident, and just cool.

The best part of the session was the laughter and fun we had. At one point, some curious passerbys decided to join our shoot. Why do people always ask “Are you taking photos?” Maxie took it all in stride, laughing and making the best of every moment. It’s those unexpected moments that make the shoot so unique. City Life! It isn’t just about the photos; it’s about the experience.

Maxie told me about his love for photography and it really shone through when he described some real estate work he was part of. He’s been taking photos for himself and his school, and you can tell he’s got an eye for it. His passion is contagious, and it made the session even more enjoyable. Seeing him so engaged and excited was truly inspiring.

We ended the day with some golden hour shots on top of the 1st street garage, and the lighting was perfect. That glow was everything. Maxie looked absolutely radiant, and the photos captured that dreamy, warm light beautifully. It was the perfect way to wrap up an amazing session.

Maxie, you are a star! Your senior session was one for the books. Keep being awesome and chasing your dreams. Your talent and passion for photography are going to take you far, and I can’t wait to see what you do next.

There's fire, and there's FIRE | Indoor studio sessions for summer: Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior Photographer

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about why senior photos in a studio are so chic and totally trending right now! 📸✨ I know, I know, the thought of studio photos might bring back memories of those awkward school photo sessions with weird props and stiff poses. But trust me, my studio sessions are NOTHING like that! We're all about capturing your unique style and making sure you look fab.

First off, studio photos are super fashionable. They give off this sleek, modern vibe that's just perfect for senior portraits. The controlled lighting in a studio means we can create all sorts of cool looks, from soft and dreamy to bold and dramatic. Natural lighting and or strobe flash. It's all about showcasing your personality and making you look like a total stunner!

And let's be real, Arizona summers are HOT. When the temperature hits over 95 degrees, there's no way we’re doing an outdoor shoot. Here’s why I only do studio sessions when it's blazing outside:

1. Safety First: We don’t want anyone getting heatstroke. It's serious business. Staying indoors means everyone stays cool and safe.

2. Skin Matters: Greasy, shiny skin from sweat? Not cute. And trust me, it shows up in photos, highlighting every bump and texture. In the studio, your skin stays fresh and flawless.

3. Makeup Meltdown: Even with the best setting spray, makeup can melt right off in the heat. In the studio, your makeup stays put, keeping you looking fabulous throughout the session.

4. Fresh Faces: Heat can make your eyes and face look tired. We want bright, vibrant expressions, not the look of someone who just ran a marathon!

5. Equipment Overheat: My camera gear does not love the heat. Keeping everything cool ensures we get the best shots without any technical hiccups.

Now, I do have a small studio space in North Phoenix, but there are some amazing studio options in Phoenix. Each place has its own vibe and unique charm. TO NAME A FEW:

• Studio House AZ, Downtown Phoenix: This spot has such an urban, artsy feel. Perfect for those looking to capture a bit of the city’s edge.

• Parkwood Studios, Midtown Phoenix: A versatile space that can go from classic to contemporary in a heartbeat. This places looks like a Hollywood sesh. Love it!

• Stone Studios, Mesa: Known for its rustic charm and natural light. If you’re into a more organic, laid-back look, this is your place.

• Casa Peony, Scottsdale: Totally chic and glamorous. Ideal for those who want a touch of elegance in their photos.

And don’t worry, we’ve got some great options in Peoria and North Phoenix too. Wherever you are, there’s a fab studio nearby to make your senior photos pop!

I can’t stress enough how studio sessions can elevate your senior portraits. It’s all about capturing YOU in the best light (literally) and making sure your photos are as unique and awesome as you are. No awkward props, no outdated poses. Just pure, fashionable fun!

So, why are studio sessions so popular? It’s simple. They offer a controlled environment where we can play with lighting, backdrops, and your style to create photos that are totally YOU. Plus, we avoid all the hassle that comes with shooting in extreme heat. Trust me, once you go studio, you won’t look back!

If you’re ready to rock your senior portraits and create some stunning memories, let’s get in the studio and make some magic happen. Your senior year is a big deal, and your photos should be too. Can’t wait to see you shine! 🌟📸✨

We kicked things off on top of the world, literally. The rooftop of the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix gave us the most incredible views. Ethan and Isabella started in their sharp formal wear, looking absolutely dapper. Ethan rocked a suit, and Isabella was stunning in her dress. Love it!

As we moved through downtown, their personalities started to shine. The outfits changed, and so did the vibes. We strolled past the Orpheum, which was just epic. The historic architecture combined with these two looking all stylish was a whole vibe. And those tall buildings surrounded by palm trees? Perfect backdrop!

The twins were so much fun to work with. They’ve got this great sibling dynamic that’s both hilarious and heartwarming. Ethan’s got this cool, laid-back style, while Isabella is all about that chic, trendy look. Together, they made every shot a masterpiece. 📸

We had some seriously funny moments. At one point, I told Ethan to give Isabella a piggy back ride. Isabella’s reaction was priceless, and Ethan couldn’t stop laughing. It’s those unexpected moments that make these sessions so memorable.

Walking through uptown, we found some amazing spots. The mix of urban and natural elements was just perfect for capturing their senior year vibes. We even found this cute little café with the best mural. The colors popped so much, and it matched Isabella’s outfit perfectly. Talk about serendipity!

Ricky Mountain Ridge High Class of 2022 |

Shooting Ricky’s senior portraits was such an adventure! 🌟 The day turned out to be one of the hottest spring days, and let me tell you, it was scorching. But the lush, green surroundings were so stunning that we didn’t even mind the heat and Ricky didn’t let em see she sweat. It was like stepping into a wonderland at Rio Salado Park with the water features, tall trees, grassy paths and wildflowers. A very un-Arizona oasis.

Ricky is graduating from Mountain Ridge High School, Class of 2022, and she has the most amazing spirit. She's decided to take a gap year after high school, which I think is such a smart move. Finals, activities, winter guard, color guard with the marching band—she was involved in so much! I am not sure she was initially excited about senior portraits even because this kid was suffering some serious burnout after a long year. It makes total sense to take a breather. Plus, she might want to explore medical careers after her break. How cool is that?

The vibe of the shoot was seriously on point. After realizing Senior pictures can be FUN Ricky started enjoying herself, and she had picked out the coolest boho outfits that totally matched her free spirit and unique aesthetic. Each outfit was like a new chapter in her story. From sweet dresses to striped wide legged pants, everything just screamed Ricky. And the way she posed! Like a natural. It was like she’d been modeling her whole life.

During the shoot, we talked about her plans and dreams. Taking a gap year is such a great idea, especially after the intense last few years. Ricky’s got big dreams and taking time to recharge and explore is so important. Maybe she'll end up in the medical field, helping people and making a difference. With her determination, I know she’ll succeed in whatever she chooses.

The location we picked was perfect. The greenery and natural beauty provided a perfect backdrop. The contrast of Ricky’s boho outfits against the lush scenery was pure magic. Every shot was a hit, capturing her essence and joy. And let's not forget the weather. It was 108 degrees with crazy humidity. But Ricky handled it like a champ, smiling through the convection oven waves. 🌞 the photos do not show the heat except the heat of how awesome she looked!

Golden hour light at the end of the session gave everything a magical glow. Ricky was absolutely radiant, the warm tones highlighting her features and making her look like a goddess. This glow is a whole vibe! 🌅

We also had a bit of fun with smoke grenades. Ricky wanted to check out the Grand Street murals down the street so we fired up a red one and she danced through the smoke blooms. these grenades are epic- I love them and seeing how each senior uniquely interacts with them while I snap away to create kick ass portraits.

By the end of the shoot, we were all exhausted but so happy with how everything turned out. Ricky’s senior portraits are more than just photos—they’re memories. They capture a moment in time, a milestone, and the beginning of a new chapter.

I’m so proud of Ricky and can’t wait to see what she does next. Whether she’s traveling the world during her gap year or diving into medical studies, she’s got a bright future ahead. Ricky, you’re a total star! 🌟 Keep shining and chasing your dreams. The world is yours for the taking, and I know you’ll do amazing things.

Thanks for letting me be part of this special moment in your life. Your photos turned out stunning, and I hope you love them as much as I do. Here’s to new adventures, unforgettable moments, and making dreams come true! 📸✨

Alright, friends, that’s a wrap on Ricky’s senior session! I can’t wait to share these beautiful moments with you all. Stay tuned for more awesome senior stories and gorgeous photos. Until next time, keep shining!
