Hailee Class of 2021 | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix Senior pictures

This lady has such great energy -athletic, smart, beautiful smiles and eyes & a head full of brains! Can’t wait to deliver her full gallery! It was so good meeting up with Hailee and her family again- I also was her big brothers senior photographer! I think my favorite part was seeing her light up with her puppies though, real giggles and stinky puppy kisses are kinda the best :)

“But I don’t want to feel like wishful thinking
Pick myself up and move to the beat of my heart and my soul
Sing a song for the dreamer
Well I say run
Let it shine that glory
Like you were young and you had no worries
Like there was no fear or doubt to fill your heart
’Cause all your days have just begun”

— Kadesh

Love that golden hour glow on this girl!

Hailee Class of 2021 Phoenix Senior pictures by Anjeanette Photography

What a fun, fashion-filled afternoon! After getting pampered and made up with the wonderful Yolanda, natural beauty Hailee was ready for her Phoenix senior session! We hit the VW van front at Two Hippies Beach House and a few murals in the Scottsdale area, before heading to model more downtown and Roosevelt Row and the always stunning Desert Botanical Gardens! How amazing is Hailee am I right?? She is a volleyball athlete extraordinaire- and a seriously good model!

Posh resort The Scott matches Natalia’s whole glow perfectly from the

gold & green tones to the decadent glam ⭐️

I met Natalia last year at her sisters senior session and was so happy they chose me again for such important milestone portraits! Natalia is AH-mazing from her whole makeup and hair aesthetic - completely done herself- to her fashion choices and posing. She was a dream to work with, I feel like I was working with a professional model!

Natalia introduced me to The Scott Resort, a gorgeous little oasis in the middle of Scottsdale for boho chic looks and sophisticated green and gold glam. I cannot wait to show you all Natalias next set of sneak peeks as she glowed up the amazing lobby area!!!

I love the glow around this beauty!!!

Holly Class of 2021 | Phoenix Arizona Senior Pictures by Anjeanette Photography

“Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment.”

— Erol Ozan

I am so excited to share Holly’s #seniorpicture session! It gets so busy this time of year my peeks get a bit behind but all of these remarkable Class of 21 seniors are bringing so much amazingness to their sessions I can’t ever bear to pick just one sneak peek! Holly is absolutely no exception- after years of dedication this Nutcracker Angel has achieved so many accolades for her dance. Every beautiful graceful line and deceptively simple movement is hard core athleticism and grit. Every turn or toe stand is hundreds of hours of practice, determination, sweat, and perseverance... congratulations on a successful high school and dance career Holly! You have the strength to take you so much further- the world can’t wait to see where you take yourself next!!

Henley | Mountain Ridge | Class of 2021

“Modeling is not just beauty and smile, it takes boldness and style..”

I’d say she’s a natural - and obviously, she is a natural beauty- but pro models like Henley KNOW its a lot of perseverance, hard work, and practice. And heck yeah it’s fun too when you are doing what you love! This time instead of a campaign for a company or brand, Henley is voguing all for herself- and celebrating her #ClassOf2021 #senioryear Check out her video below!

Lianna Class of 2021

Lianna was wanting flowers- but with so little rain this ‘winter’ in Arizona we just didn’t get the bloom of previous springs. So when we heard that Annie’s Flower Truck was near the senior picture location we were going to in Old Town Scottsdale, we had to stop by! Happy Senior Sunday Lianna! Beautiful young woman- it was awesome working with you!

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!!!

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:

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!

Congrats Kayla and thank you for choosing me for your fun-tastic senior picture session!

Not much beats the vistas of Papago at Sunset-

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!

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!

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!

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!

Harrison & Kylie Shadow Mountain Class of 2020 | Anjeanette Photography Senior Anthem, Peoria, North Phoenix Arizona

What a year 2020 has been- and it is only March! WOW, when we were taking these we had no idea what was to come in the next few weeks! The worries were far away and spring break had just begun... So thankful I was able to go ahead with this long ago scheduled duo senior pictures session before Covid-19 social distancing quarantine began! So much uncertainty and worry. Despite all the challenges we are facing now and may face in the near future, memories of our most valuable moments are important- they are worth holding onto.

Kylie and Harrison are high school sweethearts who wanted their senior pictures taken together. We walked around the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens on a golden light filled afternoon, capturing portraits of each of them separately and together in the cactus blooms of spring. We had fun laughing and posing, and smiling in the bright sunshine. While some things may be uncertain in the immediate now, in the fall these two are headed to ASU and the Navy with bright futures ahead! Their bond and these moments will not be forgotten. Both families are good friends, so joint sessions together was an obvious choice for them, making sure to ask me for photos of them altogether.

Class of 2020 -Hang in there. No words can replace prom or the end of your school year, but know that there will be light at the end of this terrible tunnel we are in. The future is yours and you will ROCK whatever comes next.

I love you all!

“There are fields of Gold behind the little house
Filled with the greatest of treasures
Bronze, Gold and Silver

Do you remember?
Remember our childhood, Our life’s

The shinning Silver sparkling in the skies
The brightest Bronze hidden under the ground
The greatest Gold glimmering through the fields

Can you see them?
Picture it in your mind

All the times we danced
Every time we laughed
Where we used to love

Or have you forgotten?
Forgotten the good, Forgotten the bad

Every memory
Every moment
Every word

I wish you’d remember
To turn back time, So you could take me

Take me to the gold
To the fields on a summers day
To our fields, our treasure

The Silver, The Bronze
The Gold

But the treasures gone
The house still remains
The fields just as empty as the day we left

Times have changed
Our life’s have changed

Our Silver gone dull
Our Bronze all rusted
Our Gold long forgotten

It was never there
The winds of time and turns of the earth have seen to that

But I remember
I cry for the children who found the greatest of treasures and those who lost it so soon after
And I dream of dancing and singing and running and laughter, of the treasures that lie in the fields of Gold.”

— By Carrie Halliday

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!

Steven Class of 2020 | Phoenix Senior Pictures | Anjeanette Photography Arizona

Steven is a kid after my old early 90's chick heart- at home in the city surround by sick art, hanging on garage buildings with friends messing around with cameras, skateboards, and ideas dreaming about the future. He is into authentic fashion and vintage clothing so he had some great pieces picked out- and yep I must be vintage because they were clothes many of my North Detroit friends would have worn 'back in the day'. I def think he has an awesome eye for threads!!

When they started looking for photos to match his unique rad personality, Steven and his mom looked to Insta for artistic style senior pics. I love Instagram- all the pretty photos- less of the drama and politics. So glad they found my seniors only IG in all the amazing Phoenix senior photography options! Steven and his family were fantastic, I am so happy to meet them and honored to capture some cool shots to celebrate Steven's last year of high school!

Amy SDOHS Class of 2020 | Phoenix Senior Pictures by Anjeanette Photography Peoria Az

We started with overcast desert vibes under hazy warm skies...to coffee shoppes, cityscapes, & smoke grenades in downtown Phoenix! Fantastic senior picture session with bubby and charismatic Amy! It was pretty obvious right from the start that Amy has a solid theatre background, she had all the best poses and smiles! I am here to help if needed, giving ideas or examples for seniors during the session without looking too 'posed' or fake of course… Amy did not need very many prompts at all! She flowed through a variety of looks in seconds which made my job of culling down the number of images to a reasonable number that takes less than a few months to look through rather tough! SO. Many. Awesome. Shots!!! Check out the Instagram profile puzzle with more of Amy's sneak peeks here- and don't miss her senior session video is right above! #starstruck

Ben Class of 2020 Shadow Mountain High | Paradise Valley Senior | Anjeanette Photography Az

Awesome senior portrait session and awesome conversation. Great meeting up with Shadow Mountain Matador Ben for his senior session this month! We checked out the Scottsdale Civic Center plaza area with the incredible Contemporary Art Museum, a very, VERY, green grassy quad, and one of my favorites for golden honey light- the parking garage with an amazing view of historic Olde Towne Arizona! I met Ben a few years ago through the SMHS Marching band, where he is an accomplished trumpet player. Ban's band is a fantastic organization where kids learn, laugh, and find a home with music. For this year's Band Senior banners we designed custom posters on vinyl to hang in the stadium. We went for epic and determined expressions on blue to partially match their show theme of space- and it was no surprise to me when the Marching Matadors qualified in State Competition to moved onto Super States! During his session, I enjoyed chatting about cameras and gadgets, and hearing about Ben's adventures in New York with his family, his music, and GCU plans for the future! A bright future ahead for this sharp kid!

Amazing senior picture session with the amazing Autumn! We had been planning this session for a long time- Autumn is lifelong friends with one of my Class of 2019 grads Morgan, and her mom Christine and I had fun planning the perfect session for her! This lady is so poised and polished, with a gorgeous glowing smile and flawless looks- she sure made my job super easy! Such a pleasure meeting Autumn finally in real life, your a wonderful young woman and I am happy for all the future success you have headed your way girl!

Jake Class of 2020 | Roosevelt Row | Phoenix Senior grad portraits Anjeanette Photography Peoria Az

Jake is just really effortlessly cool- like a little bit fashionable B0RNS, a little bit rock n roll- and classical pianist twist. Had a fantastic time shooting his senior portraits in downtown Phoenix at BeCoffee and hitting all the new the RoosRow murals. Awesome backdrop for an awesome guy!

His mom Kerry is an accomplished photographer as well, (check out Native SKy on IG) and we had a blast walking around posing him and setting off Enola Gaye Smoke bombs. How GQ IS this guy??? Great session Jake- thanks for choosing me as your senior photographer!
