Project Lunacy | Shutterfest Photography conference | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix

/ Anjeanette Photography/

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!

Sofia Class of 2020 | Roosevelt Row Senior Session | Anjeanette Photography Peoria Az

phoenix-senior- picture-photographer-anthem-arizona-high-school-anjeanette-photography_0841.jpg

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!

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. Her hard work and training were really evident in every effortless movement from walking, to posing, to leaping on top of a mountain barefoot she made it look so easy! A fun session full of smiles and grace!

Smoke Bomb Grenades | Add some fun colour and drama to your Phoenix senior portraits! | Anjeanette Photography Peoria, Az

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!

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.

It’s my babies senior year and 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!

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!

SO are YOU up for an adventure for your Senior Portrait Experience?? Its more possible and affordable than you might think! What adventure calls to you?

So this collection of photos is what my “Adventure Package” looks like- travel and unlimited outfits and poses! You can find out more about all my packages here:

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.

Will totally crushed his senior portrait session in downtown Phoenix last week! I couldn’t wait to get these photos uploaded and edited. And the folks over at Indie Senior Magazine noticed too! About 2 mins after I posted Will’s sneak peeks on my Instagram- they re-grammed them and featured his pictures on their Instagram page!

Congrats Will! Fantastic job and have a great graduation!
