Meet Grace, I recently got to do her Phoenix sunset senior photoshoot. Senior season is always one of my favorites. Truthfully, it’s almost always the season for senior photos in Phoenix. Some high school graduates choose to do their senior pictures as soon as they start their senior year. While some choose to do them in the spring right before they graduate. Some choose to do both! There is no right or wrong way to schedule your senior pictures.

When you’re planning your Phoenix sunset senior photoshoot, you have SO many options with locations. Arizona offers some supreme location choices with a huge variety of landscapes. The top location is desert. Truly, that is what Arizona does best. Cactus, mountains. The Arizona sunset for your senior pictures. It’s truly a magical place to be at sunset. And if you’re doing your senior photos in the fall, it may still be warm. Sunset time is the coolest time of day to capture your photos in the desert.


Grace and her mother went through my location guide and selected this gorgeous spot near the salt river. My location guide is an amazing tool you’ll receive during your booking process to help you pick a location. The location guide is filled with my favorite spots to shoot, details about the locations, pictures, and more. Grace’s mother raved about how easy it was to pick a location perfect for her daughter’s Phoenix sunset senior photoshoot.

There are truly no do’s or don’ts for this one. Your Phoenix sunset senior photoshoot is all about you. Your personality. Your traits. This is YOUR time to shine. That being said, there are always popular trends. Graces package included 2 outfits. For her senior pictures, she wore a blue and white floral dress as well as jeans and a white shirt.
White is a very popular color to wear for your girls for their senior photos! I love how Grace channeled that trend and still made it her own with the blue florals on her dress.

Grace also spiced it up a bit with this beautiful cowboy hat. The hat fit so well with her outfit and location. I encourage all seniors to bring a piece of them. Special jewelry, sports they love, or more.
