I’m always OVER THE MOON excited to find out I’ve been regionally or nationally recognized for a photograph I’ve taken of one of my clients, but you know what’s even better? Just as soon as I get word that a portrait has been recognized for its creativity, beauty, composition, or other outstanding features, I reach out and let the client know. And the very best part of the entire experience is getting to see and hear their excitement at having their photo published for everyone to see. Talk about a confidence boost!
Senior Year Magazine just released their Guys Only edition and I’m thrilled to announce that Corbin had TWO images published!! With over 2500 images submitted, the competition was tough, but I was really hoping that Corbin would be published.
His senior portrait session is a great example of a guy being a little excited, but a little unsure of what to expect when working with a professional photographer. But all that went away when we started planning to include a Mustang Roush and shooting with planes at Falcon Field! That was definitely on MY bucket list!
In the spring of 2022, Senior Year Magazine announced their Top 100 Senior Photographers and Magical Memories by Michelle is among the winners! With so much competition, it is an honor to be part of this elite group.
While that is exciting, it gets even better! So far this year I’ve been also had images published in Senior Year Magazine’s Best of 2021 issue and the newly released Summer 2022 issue! The Best of 2021 edition had 11 images published and the Summer 2022 issue had 6 images published. Here are the teens that have been published this year. Congrats!!
I remember the first images I ever had published. It was in the 2015 edition of Modern Teen Style and I was so incredibly excited!! I thought it would be fun to share some of the senior pictures that have been selected for publication over the years, several of them more than once! Here are some of the teens and seniors that have been published over the years. Do you want to be next?
As one Arizona’s top senior photographers it is an honor to be nationally recognized and published in many leading industry magazines. Since 2014 I have had numerous images and articles published in Senior Year Magazine, Senior MUSE, Modern Senior, and Modern Teen Style as well as having images featured on various blogs. In 2019 I was named one of the Top 200 Senior Photographers Worldwide! Can I just say I feel like I’m living my dream? Once your senior pictures are complete, you might be one of the next featured seniors or even be published in a magazine!
