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!

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!

“A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. There is always something valuable that can be derived out of difficulty, adversity or change.”

Brooke SDOHS Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Portraits Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona

One of a kind, real-life superhero Brooke not only nonchalantly rocks a 55lb+ tenor drum set during marching band season- she also loves all the fishes and will be majoring in Marine Biology in the fall. Brooke had been planning her senior pictures for close to a year- she knew since her junior year she wanted to do them at the Scottsdale Odysea Aquarium and carefully got her ideas ready. Brooke will be a part of the Mariane Biology program at the University of Hawaii- her acceptance was a win for UofH because this young lady is a hard-working and bright kid- she finished in the top 10% of a graduating class of over 600 and was the recipient of many awards & cords from her school in academics and band. We started talking about plus planning her session in the summer of '19. We had no idea that a few months after the new year began all the things that would cancel priceless and irreplaceable events in her senior year of school. Much less postpone her portraits. Thankfully businesses like the Aquarium were able to quickly reopen with new safety procedures to protect the animals, staff, and visitors when the state reopened after the Cobid19 pandemic shut down. The class of 2020 missed a lot. So much h that cannot ever be replaced. While the loss of special once in a lifetime pom and circumstance obviously pales in comparison to the losses of life and upheavals in our country from the disease and distress of a society unequal in it's care, liberty, rights, and compassion for people of color- it was still a loss that should not be taken lightly. Thankfully, senior portraits are one event seniors do not have to miss out on. While not every school will walk, and those that do have abbreviated telecast or social distancing ceremonies- a sense of celebration and closer is very possible in senior pictures. The Class of 2020 will have an amazing story to tell of perseverance and grit- and hopefully the triumph of taking care of each other with compassion and justice. Congratulations Brooke on your graduation, many honors, and acceptance into the college of your dreams! I can’t wait to see where your adventures take the new Jacques Cousteau!

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!

Jason Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona

It’s gallery delivery day! As Jason’s mom said I was absolutely teasing them with sneak peeks on Instagram of Jason’s senior picture session- I am so excited about how great Jason did and some of the images captured for him! We had a warm but gorgeous Arizona day last week when we finally got o to have Jason's rescheduled senior portrait session. Starting at the ASU Grant street studios and ending at Papago, I got to know this dynamic senior and his family amidst the reopening of our city and state. Jason impressed me with natural smiles and ease in 100+ temps- never let em see you sweat! While Jason did a fantastic job for his portrait session we were all the most excited to get to the track for some sport action shots of Jason biking! Jason's ride looks like a mountain bike with killer suspension, giant tires, and the ability to dirt jump and basically drop off of ...MOUNTAINS! Crazy being right next to a bike falling that far and fast when it whooshes past. The course he uses has trails with tight curves, rough and smooth transitions in terrain, and multiple hard-packed dirt ramps that he propels over to fly through the sky- all overlooking the skyline of Phoenix. Luckily for me, we got a fantastic sunset at the end of his session so I was able to get a variety of sky colours as he shot off of hills and ledges! Congratulations Jason, on your accomplishments graduating from high school and on finding something you love like biking- doing what you love is one of the greatest gifts. It's obvious how much time, hard work training, and effort you put into making soaring through the air look effortless. Keep that passion for life wherever you go on this adventure of life!

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!

“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

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.

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!

WGI Regional Competition | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona

View fullsize

View fullsize

As I write this blog, it was sadly just announced that due to precaution due to the coronavirus, WGI had to make the difficult decision not to hold World Championships this year. The Dayton Ohio competition is one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year, many of the performers are also members of Drum Corp International. It is understandable that Winter Guard International wants to make sure to protect the students and dancers by keeping them safe and following CDC guidelines, its still heartbreaking for everyone who has worked so hard and raised so much money to be on teams, especially high school seniors and age out members in their final year of competition. I have read the WGI is considering extending the age by a year - so that next year is still open for those ending their Winterguard season so abruptly. Have faith, I know the organization is heartbroken too as the plan years in advance to have the convention center and host areas planned and organized, they prioritized the safety of everyone's over a lucrative season. Watching everyone perform is an amazing experience, from seeing new young guard kids tossing their first flag to the precision and mastery of sabers tossed 15 feet overhead while executing a perfect Grand Jete! My daughter and I were remarking on how GOOD everyone was this season, it was like everyone had leveled up significant;y. I am heartbroken for you all on such a short season- and excited for how you will overcome this disappointment to thrive and shine in the years to come in winterguard or beyond.

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!

Phoenix Graduation Pictures & High School Senior Portrait sessions by Peoria AZ photographer Anjeanette.Photography Arizona http://www.anjeanette.photography...

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!

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!
