let's get real
Your senior year should be a really fun experience that you'll never forget, and will cherish for a lifetime!
Your authentic real self in photos. In high school, you've probably worn a lot of hats: a student, an athlete, a musician, an activist, a gamer... the list goes on and on! Team '24 is an opportunity to explore and highlight all of those areas that are important to you through multiple sessions, not just one. This also allows you the opportunity to get photos that will meet the expectations of everyone you'll be sharing them with. We will get the "traditional" shots of you glowing in your outfit, but we'll also allow you to get other sessions that are more authentic and true to your personality.
Develop real connections. Your photos can be more than just an individual session! Our rep program is an opportunity to bond with friends, and meet some new ones along the way. We have themed team sessions throughout the year that are super fun, totally unique, and will be keepsakes for life! This is a chance to play dress-up with your best friends and look great doing it!
We'll also prep you for the real world. All of our sessions are fun, but they actually will also set you up for success as you enter adult-hood. We offer mentored group shoots that include guest speakers who are subject matter experts in their related field who can teach you important life lessons, followed by a session that fits the theme.

MEET YOUR COACH
I'm Gary
Hello! My name is Gary and I am the owner of Phoenix Family Photography. When I was a young kid, I always wanted to be a photographer and to make "pretty pictures", little did I know that as time and experience in this field has gone on, my real joy today would come from seeing the impact my photography has had by helping young people to see themselves in a way that they never otherwise thought possible.
It's truly an honor to see how many people I have been able to "build up" through the power of my photography, and I invite you to be the next person who can benefit from joining the Team 24 Program!

what they're saying
Gary is so fun to work with! I didn't even mind all of his super cheesy dad jokes, and my pics are exactly what I was hoping for!
zoe
One of my friends asked me to join Team '22 with her, and I am so glad I did. The pictures are amazing and the program ended up being way better than I had even imagined.
