Caden and Liesa Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 Phoenix & Peoria Graduation Pictures & High School Photographer ANJEANETTE.PHOTOGRAPHY

As a photographer specializing in capturing the essence of the Class of 2024 through senior pictures and graduation portraits, I've had the privilege of witnessing incredible stories unfold in front of my lens. Liesa and Caden's journey is one that tugs at the heartstrings and makes you say “awwwww”. On the last day of 2023, Liesa and Caden celebrated their Class of 2024 journey with a portrait session from Anthem to the vista of Sunset Point. Even though it was a little overcast these two radiated energy and optimism. Their portraits capture not just a moment in time, but the perseverance and spirit that will see them conquer whatever comes their way. ✨ 

COSPE “Teenage Emotions”

These two remarkable individuals first crossed paths as percussionists in the State Champion Mountain Ridge Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. From the cadence of their drumbeats to the harmonious notes they created together, it was evident that their connection extended beyond the musical realm. As their senior year approached, we decided to freeze these moments of camaraderie in time with a special BFF senior portrait session.

Anthem Park and Sunset Point provided the perfect canvas for our photographic adventure, where we went from a giant sky sized softbox of a soft cloudy day to being bathed in the Arizona sunset. The landscape served as a backdrop, mirroring the journey these two have shared throughout their high school years.

Navigating the waterfalls of Anthem, we captured nervous giggles to genuine laughter and shared memories that define Liesa and Caden's relationship. Later we drove up to the edge of the sky above the Phoenix Valley to Sunset Point surrounded by the Bradshaw Mountains.

To Liesa and Caden, as you stand on the brink of new adventures, may these graduation portraits be a cherished reminder of the incredible relationship and lifetime memories you've built together. To the parents reading this, I hope this post inspires you to celebrate the unique friendships and relationships that have enriched your child's high school experience.

Here's to Liesa and Caden, the Class of 2024, and the beautiful journey that lies ahead!

Matthew Liberty High Class of 2024 | Phoenix Graduation Pictures & High School Senior Photographer ANJEANETTE.PHOTOGRAPHY

Today's spotlight shines on Matthew, a dude with wanderlust in his soul and a future at NAU etched on his horizon. Forget about stuffy studios and forced smiles; Matthew craved a backdrop as wild and free as his spirit, and what better fit than the Sonoran Mountain Desert's rugged beauty?

Golden sunlight was bleeding over saguaro silhouettes, casting long shadows across the dusty trails. Add in a cool breeze whispering through prickly pear patches and the distant call of a coyote – nature's symphony in full swing. No really, we heard them that’s not just poetic bs! It was the perfect spot for Matthew to paint his senior portraits with the desert's vibrant brushstrokes.

Matthew soaked it all in. You could practically see the gears of his mind turning, maybe dreaming of future hikes, mountain expeditions, and maybe even a touch of stargazing under NAU's open skies. He spoke of his passion for environmental science, his plans to explore the world's hidden corners, and the excitement of leaving his mark on the planet. And in those moments, the desert wasn't just a backdrop; it became a symbol of the challenges and possibilities that awaited him.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the cacti in fiery hues, we captured the essence of Matthew's journey. These weren't just senior portraits; they were a visual narrative of his transformation from high schooler to adventurer, to a young man ready to embrace the wild unknown.

Ryan Mountain Ridge Class of 2024 | Peoria & Phoenix Arizona Senior Portraits by Anjeanette Photography

“Season Finale” Song by Beò https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/season-finale/72155

I am fresh off an epic senior portrait session that left me buzzing with inspiration! Today, I’m spotlighting Ryan, a dude who's as versatile as the Arizona landscape itself. Ryan isn't your average senior. This guy packs a double punch (pun intended!), excelling both in the serene world of karate and the high-energy realm of the Arizona State Champion Mountain Ridge marching band drumline. So, how do you capture that kind of dynamism in a single session? We headed straight for Lake Pleasant, where mountains meet water and senior photos take on a whole new vibe. The golden Arizona sun bathed the lake in a warm glow as Ryan posed against the backdrop of rugged cliffs. We found this epic rock overlooking the lake to create a portrait in his Italian jacket from a recent trip overseas!

Then, with a quick wardrobe change and a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Ryan transformed into James Bond in his suit! Love it when senior bring a formal outfit.

As the sun dipped towards the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues, we set off a few Enola Gaye colored smoke. With laser-sharp focus, his movements precise and graceful, Ryan unleashed his kata, detailed patterns of movements executed as a specified series of a variety of Karate moves. The sunset glow behind saguaro cacti set the perfect stage for silhouettes showing his talent and hard work.

But of course, senior portraits are more than just showcasing talents. They're about capturing the essence of who you are – the quiet moments, the genuine smiles, the hopes and dreams simmering beneath the surface.

By the end of the session, we had a collection of images that told Ryan's story – a story of strength, passion, and a spirit that's forever in tune with its own rhythm. These senior photos aren't just social media or yearbook filler; they're a reminder of who Ryan is and who he's becoming, a visual echo of the amazing journey that lies ahead.

So, are you ready to tell your own story through senior portraits? Let's chat and craft a session that captures your unique melody, whether it's a quiet ballad or a full-blown rock symphony! Llet's make your senior year unforgettable.

Hannah Arizona State University Class of 2023 | Phoenix Senior Photographer Anjeanette Photography

You guys! I had the most amazing time capturing Hannah's senior portraits at ASU's Tempe campus! The vibe was just perfect, and we kicked things off at the Old Main fountain, which is like THE spot for senior pics. The iconic champagne spray and hoping in the water is a Sun Devil rite of passage. Hannah looked incredible in a chic black dress, and her energy was totally contagious.

Hannah's graduating from Arizona State's College of Art and Design with a degree in graphic design. Can we talk about how impressive that is? She tackled college during the whole COVID craziness and came out shining. Seeing her now, so ready to take on the world, is beyond inspiring. It's wild to think back to when I first moved to Arizona and did her high school senior photos. Watching her grow and achieve so much has been a total privilege.

I first met Hannah through the Sandra Day O’Connor band and color guard, where she's still rocking it as an instructor. I was lucky enough to be her high school senior photographer as well! She had this spark, this energy that was so infectious. Now, fast forward a few years, and here we are again, capturing her college senior photos. It’s incredible to see how far she’s come and how much she’s grown.Plus, she's part of the Fenix ASU World Class winter guard team which I absolutely love capturing at events like WGAZ competitions. The dedication and passion she has for these activities are evident. It’s not just a hobby for her; it’s a huge part of her life. Watching her perform, you can see the love she has for it, and it’s clear she puts her heart and soul into every routine. Getting to know Hannah and her mom, Kristi, and seeing her and her sister grow up has been one of the best parts of my job.

The Tempe campus was such a beautiful backdrop for our session. The architecture, the greenery, and all the students hustling NOT around in the photos was the best. Hannah choose the absolute BEST time to have her photos- right at the begining of spring break! It left her with plenty of time to go play the next day and weeks- but it also gave us an empty canvas (punny arn’t I) and cool sweet weather without waiting in line at popular spots like Palm Walk and The Normal School steps. The light was just right too, making Hannah glow even more. 📸✨

Kristi joined us for the shoot, and it was so heartwarming to see their bond. She’s been there every step of the way, cheering her on and helping her navigate through the challenges.We laughed about how fast time flies since the high school shoot. Kristi's support has been huge for Hannah, and it was great to capture that connection in the photos. During our shoot, we talked about her college experience. COVID-19 definitely threw a wrench in things, but Hannah didn’t let it stop her. She adapted, found new ways to stay creative, and kept pushing forward. It wasn’t easy, but she made it work. She shared some stories about virtual classes, group projects done over Zoom, and the challenges of staying motivated when everything went online. It was a tough time for everyone, but hearing how she handled it with grace and determination. Kristi’s pride in Hannah was clear,i t’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do.

One of my favorite moments from our shoot was when we used smoke grenades for some of the photos outside of the Graduate Hotel on campus. Back when Hannah was in high school our session together had one bummer- the two smoke grenades I brought were duds :( I wanted to be sure to bring some for the session! As I set off the grenades, the colors swirled around Hannah created this magical, almost surreal atmosphere. Even though they kinda have a mild sulfur smell, it was like we were in a dream ha. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and I think they perfectly capture Hannah’s vibrant personality and artistic spirit.

Hannah's story is all about determination and talent. Balancing school, teaching, and competing in winter guard is no joke, but she nailed it. As we wrapped up the shoot, I felt so proud of all she's achieved. 🎓👏 This session wasn’t just about photos; it was about celebrating Hannah's journey and the bright future ahead. The joy, laughter, and memories made it unforgettable.

Hannah’s faced so many obstacles, but she’s come out stronger on the other side. Her determination, creativity, and positive attitude are truly admirable. She’s not just a talented graphic designer and performer; she’s an incredible person with a bright future ahead.

I'm so grateful to have been a part of it and to capture these moments for her and her family.

Hannah, if you’re reading this, know that you are a rockstar! Keep shining, keep pushing forward, and never stop chasing your dreams. The world is lucky to have someone as talented and driven as you. I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll do next. Here’s to new adventures and endless possibilities! 🌟📸✨
