Celebrating driven, energetic seniors with fun and meaningful portraits

I'm Michael Allyne. A Phoenix senior photographer. I create bold and vibrant photos that reflect how bold and vibrant you are. I don't believe any two photo sessions should be the same because no two Seniors are the same. Together, we will create images that reflect your originality

What makes me different?

My goal is not to just tell you to smile while I click a button. I want to tell a story. I get to know my seniors and what defined their high school years. Are you an athlete? Do you play in a rock band? The class clown? I want to implement these things into your session.
 
I use all this to mold an experience that is authentic. No two photo experiences should be the same and I aim to deliver something as original as you are. I don't believe your photos are the only thing you're hiring me to deliver. You're hiring me to deliver an experience that is fun and exciting. I want you to fondly look back on our time together the same way you'll look back on the photographs.

I'm a photographer, yes, but I don't want to just take photos, I want to tell a story... Your story.

Why senior photos are important

Graduating high school is a huge milestone. Like any milestone, it should be celebrated and commemorated the best way possible. Senior pictures are an excellent chance at showing the world who you are, at this very moment, and creating somewhat of a time capsule for yourself.

 

I graduated high school in '06 and back then, I was heavily into powerlifting. It was a huge part of my life during this period and I have fond memories of walking into that gym everyday and grinding it out for hours at a time. Of course, that was half a lifetime ago and over time people change. Their interests, passions, mind and body. Though I'm no longer a powerlifter, that doesn't change how at one point in time I was and I'm immensely proud of that. I would love to have images to look back on displaying this. An epic shot of me deadlifting or belting out a set of bench presses. I want that for you. I want you to have, not just cool photos to post on your instagram right now, but impactful imagery to reflect on in the future.

 

As your senior photographer, I will mix traditional photos with dramatic imagery using advanced lighting techniques that will make your senior pictures pop and stand out from the rest. We can choose to use any of the countless locations Phoenix has to offer or expand even further, exploring all of Arizona and beyond. I offer sessions tailored to fit everyone's needs. I will conceptualize your experience based on who you are and what you want.

Testimonials

"First of all — I’m awkward taking pictures and I don’t write reviews unless I’m blown away. That being said, I usually feel weird having my pics taken - HOWEVERRRR working with Michael was AWESOME! He is salt of the Earth and easy to feel comfortable with! Also — the pictures — WOW!! So incredible! He captured precious moments and I’m so grateful to have worked with him because now I have beautiful memories to hang around the house. Highly recommend his work!!"
