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!
In April, Senior Year Magazine announced their Top 100 Senior Photographers! With so much competition, it is an honor to be part of this elite group.
While that is exciting, it gets even better! Earlier this month, Senior Year Magazine released their Best of 2021 edition and Magical Memories by Michelle had 11 images published! Here are the teens that were recently published. Congrats!!

I remember the first images I ever had published. It was in the 2015 edition of Teen Years Magazine and I was so incredibly excited!! I thought it would be fun to share all the seniors that have been selected for publication over the years, several of them more than once! Here is a list of teens and seniors that have been published. 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!
