One of the Best Senior Photographers in Arizona

See Why Seniors (and Their Moms) Love the Experience

A great reputation doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built one happy client at a time. Since 2009, I’ve worked with hundreds of teens and their families to create portraits that are anything but basic. From stylish, personality-packed sessions to heirloom albums and keepsakes, I’m here to turn big milestones into unforgettable memories.

Awards are never the goal, it’s pretty awesome to have this little biz recognized by industry leaders, publications, and most importantly—my amazing clients!

Top Rated Photographer in Arizona

Ranked #2 in the Entire State by Top Rated Local® (2021–2024)

According to Top Rated Local®, I’m officially the #2 photographer in all of Arizona—and the only one from the Phoenix area to snag a top spot!

With a glowing 98% satisfaction rating based on reviews from across the web, this ranking is powered by the people who matter most: my clients. It’s not just about taking pretty photos—it’s about the full experience, and clearly, people are loving it!

This kind of recognition makes my heart happy because it reflects everything that happens behind the lens—like styling outfits, designing keepsakes, and making seniors feel like total rockstars. So yes, I may have done a little happy dance (or two) when the results came in!

Mesa’s Best Photographer

Expertise.com – Best Portrait Photographer in Mesa (2019–2024)

Back when Expertise was still ranking photographers, I was consistently listed as one of the top portrait photographers in Mesa—six years in a row! Out of 150+ photographers, I landed in the top 6 based on things like professionalism, reputation, and overall vibe (okay, maybe not “vibe,” but let’s be real… that matters too!)

While they’ve hit pause on their lists, that stretch of wins still makes me smile. It’s a reminder of how far Magical Memories has come—and how much love has gone into building this biz from the ground up.

These honors fuel the fire—but the real joy comes from watching seniors light up when they see their photos!

Best Pros in Town, Too? You Bet!

Another recent recognition? Best Pros in Town listed me among Mesa’s most highly rated professional photographers. With over 100 five-star Google reviews, this award feels extra meaningful because it’s fueled by the words and experiences of the clients I’ve had the joy of working with.

These reviews are more than just stars—they’re proof that the experience I offer is trusted, consistent, and worth remembering.

Being recognized as one of Mesa’s best photographers is such an honor—but honestly, the real win is hearing “These feel so me” from seniors and “I’m so glad we did this” from their parents. That trust means everything! I’m here to make sure every senior feels confident in front of the camera, and every family walks away with artwork they’ll love forever.

Featured in Leading Senior Photography Publications

Over the years, My work has been recognized with award‑winning senior pictures and published in top senior magazines—proof that meaningful, personality‑driven images stand out in a crowded field. Here are just a few of the highlights:

• Senior Year Magazine: Featured in their “Best of 2024” edition, this publication is a huge honor! My work was selected as some of the finest senior portrait photography out there, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be recognized.
• Teen Years Magazine: This fun, vibrant magazine is all about capturing the energy and excitement of teen years, and I’m proud to be featured with a session that really showcases the personality of the teens I work with.
• SeniorSzn Magazine: SeniorSzn is known for highlighting the top senior photographers across the country, and I’m honored to be among their featured photographers.
• SeniorMUSE: This magazine is a BIG deal in the senior photography world, and being featured here is a massive milestone in my career. My work in the senior portrait space is showcased alongside some of the industry’s best.

Always Learning, Always Growing

I’ve been photographing seniors since 2009, and somehow—I’m even more obsessed with it now than when I started! Over the years, I’ve been named one of Senior Year Magazine’s Top 100 Photographers and featured among the Top 200 Senior Photographers Worldwide—but the real growth comes from always pushing myself to learn, evolve, and find new ways to elevate every session!

Consistency. Care. Creativity.

What truly sets this experience apart? It’s the attention to detail in every single step. I limit the number of sessions I take so each client gets a relaxed, personalized experience—from styling to location to designer artwork. I’m not here to hand you a gallery and call it a day. I’m here to help you create something you’ll still love years from now!
