make sure you click HD on the video!

Such a great, fun session with sparkling Carly!! Don’t her big eyes make you want to sing? Wonderful high school graduation senior session on the top of Peoria Az’s little Eastwing Mountain overlook with the bright Class of 2019 choir kid! So happy I got to meet Carly and her family, so excited to see what adventures this star takes through graduation and beyond!!

Left: natural light at the end of golden hour. 85mm, ISO 100, f1.4, 1/800SS

Right: off camera flash just at the start of blue hour. 35mm, ISO 200, f5.6, 1/1000SS

Another reason I just can’t resist using BOTH beautiful kinds of light at my portrait sessions- I love the creamy artistic natural light looks but also oh my, oh my those dramatic skies!

That sky ain’t photoshopped folks- its just able to show off its blues when I light the subject, lovely Carly, with an off camera flash :)

Nicole Class of 2019 | Papago Park Phoenix | Anjeanette Photography Graduation Photos Peoria Az

I love Nicole’s excited and fun energy! Her bright personality made her session so much fun- we got to see a side of Papago park not everyone does after the rain this spring-but she was the the brightest star in the park! Thanks for jumping on top of a mountain in heels and a prom dress surrounded by smoke grenades by the way!! (I promise she was safe- the rock creates an optical illusion of being above the valley, and her mom and I kept her safe)

Epic session lady!!

Shelby Class of 2019 | Phoenix Graduation Pictures | Anjeanette Photography Peoria Az

I LOVE it when seniors have a unique spot picked out- someplace they love and want to incorporate into their session. Custom sessions are pretty much my favorites because they always showcase the seniors personality and style- and hey thats why I actively pursue (or just nag) seniors to choose their location adventure! Added bonus: when the locations rock and are happy to serve as a beautiful backdrop- huge thank you to Restoration Hardware for being so open and inviting to us! Fantastic location choice Shelby!!! Isn’t she stunning???

Faith Class of 2019 | Heritage Square Senior Graduation Photos | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix

Had such a great time meeting up with Faith and her folks down on Hermitage Square for her high school senior portrait session! Downtown Phoenix is an adventure of colours, and great photo textures- and sometimes adventures in finding parking spaces!! But Faith’s smiles lit the city up brighter than the sunshine :)

Katie Class of 2019 | Desert Botanical Gardens Senior Graduation Photos | Anjeanette Photography Peoria, Phoeix Az

Fantastic time with Katie for her graduation pictures at the Desert Botanical Gardens at the beginning of the month. She was all ethereal beauty one moment, and Carrie Fisher spunky smiles the next!

Now Senior photo session season is in full swing! (get it- golf joke) Can’t believe Katie and the rest of the Class of 2019 is just a few months from graduation!!!

Lauren Class of 2019 | Downtown Phoenix Graduation Pictures | Anjeanette Photography Senior Photos Peoria, Phoenix Az

I have had the pleasure of knowing her a few years now as she has lead my daughters band, and can I just say this kid is so dang cool! Lauren is a leader, a musician, and a haircut trendsetter- but she’s also the kindest, coolest, and funniest person! Loved out session down on roosevelt Row in Phoenix- we visited all the murals and lite them up with Lauren’s smile and some smoke bombs! Can’t wait to read all about her future adventures!!!

We had some help from Mikaleas brother Aaron- he manned the Ice Light on a fushia setting to create the zig zag halo behind her head for this photo!

Hannah Class of 2019 | Roosevelt Row | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Phoenix Az

Phoenix had a surprisingly windy and cold- snowy even- and so Hannah’s senior session was a whirlwind of colourguard flags in the wind and golden curls. After warming in up in charming BeCoffee the sun popped out to end the afternoon session in warmth and reflections in Phoenix!

50 to Follow in 2019 | Senior Inspire Senior Photographer Awards | Anjeanette Photography Phoenix

I am over the orange moon to have learned this weekend that I was selected as one of

Senior Inspire’s 50 to Follow in 2019- and only ONE of 10 selected in the guys category!

“This weekend we’re featuring our 50 Senior Photographers to Follow in 2019! We’ll be featuring 40 winners in the senior girls category and 10 in the senior boys category.

A little background on the contest... We had more than 1,500 images submitted and choosing just 50 photographers was incredibly difficult! ”

Thank you so much to Senior Inspire, Davin for being my awesome Class of 2019 senior winner, and everyone who trusts me with their children’s memories. <3

Shoot Out with Valerie Waldvogel | The Glendale DUMP Styled Shoot | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Peoria, Phoenix Az

I am SO tired of all the styled shoots that are "pretty" let's be honest for a second...I WANT REAL LIFE. I want you to think outside the box. How do you react in real life situations. -Valie Waldvogel, VW Photography

The other night I got to go on a photography ‘playdate’ - you know us photographers, the glitz, the glam, the dump. Yep, we went to the dump! Shout out to Valerie Waldvogel for styling, providing amazing models, and securing the most wondrous of locations: aka the Glendale Dump for her new monthly styled sessions “What I See Shoot” aimed at photographers on every leg of their journey from noobies with their first dslr to more seasoned, professional photographers.

(Hmm what seasoning would I be? Am I in the Cumin stage of pro photography or a little more Paprika?)

Valerie used this session to provide education and experience to a group she taught throughout the afternoon , and to just boost camaraderie with all of us- be it on on manual mode with our own photography businesses or first ‘real’ camera.The shoot was a reminder to challenge oneself - find beauty in any situation, any location. I had a great afternoon meeting everyone in my group, folks in other groups, and just enjoying the warm sunshine through the lens.

Getting out and practicing and playing isn’t something you ever ‘get too good’ for. Creative meet ups like this one Valerie organized keep the passion alive!

Always learning, always experimenting, always evolving!

These beautiful models and dresses have me like…PROM…though!! Moody or bright and airy- I love prom season! It is just around the corner believe it or not, and I already have booking for April 27th…make #PROM2K19 plans today!

Preston class of 2019 | Senior Mini Session | Anjeanette Photography Seniors

Had a great time meeting Preston and his mom at the anthem Community Park a little while for a short and sweet senior session! This one is a keep it simple, nothing fancy- and Preston was the perfect guy for it because he was ready with a quick smile and laugh to get everything his family wanted with lots of time to submit for the Anthem Preparatory Academy. I do love a school that lets seniors choose their own portraits!

The Senior mini session is great for kids that have an easy, relaxed smile right away, and are very comfortable in front of the camera. They don’t want to fuss with a bunch of wardrobe changes so we keep it fun and light- easy going and as painless as possible :)

The students interested in a mini are great kids who know what they want- andare not interested in a movie or have such busy schedules- but they know portraits matter to mom!

It was so great working with you Preston- congrats on a great High School experience and all the wonderful adventures that wait!!

I told her mom, however, that there was a problem. Far too many of these photos are amazing and just picking a few favorites has been one of the hardest decisions I have had all week! Can’t wait to see all this kid is going to accomplish in the future!!

Been wanting to try this for a while-💯bokeh captured in camera- edited but no overlays. Heck, I love overlays and such, we just didn't need to use em this time once we found some neon in Phoenix

ONLY TWO DAYS Remain for Spring 2019!!! | Updated FEB 26th

I KNOW its Christmas time- but a bunch of my spring dates filled up for the Class of 2019 this past week- here is what left! Thinking ahead this year so I do not have to turn anyone away again and so that prints or galleries arrive BEFORE graduation. Its gonna speed up on you fast folks- if you choose a date we will schedule you and cross it off just for you :)

Dates only scheduled and held with contract and retainer. First come first served. Some dates have slight restrictions (see asterisks etc)
