A portrait that actually feels like you.
Senior year deserves better than a backdrop and a forced smile. I build each session around the senior: their style, their places, and the light that flatters both. Class of 2027 dates are open now.
From the studio archive.
Built around one person.
A senior session is a portrait of who someone is right now. I treat that with care.
Direction that feels easy
Nobody wants to be told to smile for an hour. I direct in small, natural beats and let personality do the work, so the portraits look like the senior, not a template.
Light chosen on purpose
I match the location and the hour to the person: desert gold at sunset, clean architecture, a favorite spot. The light is a decision, never an accident.
Fast, careful delivery
A curated online gallery on a clear timeline, retouched with restraint, with files prepared for announcements, prints, and every screen in the family.
Simple, and worth it.
Senior portraits that look like a magazine, not a yearbook. Class of 2027 dates are open now.

“His shooting style was natural, with minimal interruption to the activities, and our guests kept telling us how much they liked Arian.”
“He was on time, professional, and quick to get me my edited photos. He picked a great location and helped me pose.”
“We absolutely love all the photos. You have serious talent.”
Senior portraits are where I started.
I served as Director of Photography at Grads Photography, directing portrait programs, senior sessions, and yearbook production at volume across Arizona communities. Directing that many seniors teaches you what no preset can: how to put a seventeen year old at ease in the first five minutes, and how to find the angle that makes them stand a little taller.
Today I bring that experience to individual sessions across Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Tempe, and anywhere in Arizona a senior wants to be photographed. The desert at golden hour remains very hard to beat, and Class of 2027 dates are open now.
Good to know.
How does booking work?
Everything starts with the contact form. I reply the same day with availability, and a retainer holds your date once the plan is set.
Where do senior sessions happen?
Most sessions take place around Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Tempe, from desert preserves to clean urban backdrops. I photograph across Arizona, and travel beyond the Valley is simply planned into the project.
How are the photographs delivered?
You receive a curated online gallery for viewing, sharing, and downloading, with files prepared for print as well as screens. I confirm the delivery timeline before the session, and I keep announcement deadlines in mind.
One year. One portrait.
Tell me about the senior and the style they love. I will design the session around them.
