We are often asked where we think the best location in the US is for senior portraits. This can be a difficult thing to answer since there are SO many amazing locations out there, but if we had to pick just one place, it would be Arizona. That is a surprise to many since there are places like Hawaii or New York City that often come to mind, but Arizona is unique. In Northern Arizona, there are things like the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, slot canyons, desert locations, etc. In central Arizona are placed like Sedona and the famous rock formations. You also have cities like Phoenix if you are looking for architecture. In short, there is a lot of diversity and unique locations within the state.

For this particular senior destination trip, we went to the Grand Canyon and finished up in Sedona around sunset. We love taking people to the Grand Canyon as its truly a sight to see. There is nothing like it in the world and it makes for an amazing portrait experience.

Enjoy some of the photos we did from this senior portrait session in Arizona!

We travel A LOT for our senior portrait sessions. We try to create trips that are unique and provide our senior clients with an amazing experience. We have been to Las Vegas several times as well as the Phoenix, Arizona area. These locations are AMAZING for senior pictures. The diverse scenery is completely different than what we get in the Tampa, Florida area. This is one reason why we travel…. let our clients see parts of the world they have never seen.

Morgan told us she wanted to do a trip out west for her senior portraits since she has never been. We came up with doing a trip to Phoenix. A week or so before the trip, she reached out and asked how far it was from Phoenix to Las Vegas. Long story short, we ended up deciding on doing a road trip out west.

This trip started with the flight to Phoenix. We then drove over to Las Vegas to do a shoot at a ghost town. From there, we went to the strip for a photoshoot with the lights in the city. In the morning we drove out to Death Valley and did a portrait session there with sand dunes, salt flats and mountains. Then we drove to southern Utah to take advantage of the slot canyons there. In the morning, off to Horseshoe Bend for a senior portrait session there before heading to the Grand Canyon. After dinner at the Grand Canyon, we headed back to the airport in Phoenix.

WOW.. What an amazing trip. Senior pictures in 4 states in 2 days.. Crazy to even think about but Morgan had a blast and got to see 4 states she has never seen.

When it comes to your senior portraits, lets do something outside the box like a roadtrip out west. It is something you will NEVER forget.

Here are some portraits from the trip. Enjoy!
