"Folks are always dreaming about what they like to do
But I like to do just what I like
I'll take the chance, dance the dance"
My name is Kaela Henry.
I am Navajo and currently a senior at Flagstaff High School.
This year I plan on getting involved with Native American Club and American Indian Science and Engineering Society. I was in these clubs last year but it ended early due to COVID-19.
I really enjoy playing softball. I play the positions of catcher and third base. I really like catcher because you are always involved in every play and you have to pay attention to details. Third base is awesome too because you have more opportunities to make amazing plays.
Lately I’ve been getting into photography and tie dying. A friend of mine has a camera and we go out to take pictures. I also like to read, paint and hang out with friends.

When we started out the session, there was some reluctance, some shyness, but as she viewed more and more images via the back camera screen, she let down the guard. So many of the session images show movement and enthusiasm. At the end of the session she noted that she wished she could stay dressed in her traditional outfit, which no doubt made her feel invisible and full of energy; protection and energy, that only our Dine culture could instill. She is determined to be among the few that will challenage themselves become healers.
"Now... (we) ...say congratulations", take a breather, regroup, reflect and power forward! Wishing you the best!!
2019 March -Student Athlete
Certainly not left in the dust, this self motivated Sunflower is on an extraordinary track of light! From academics to athletics, Thomasina, meaning very intuitive, has made her journey an untraveled one. Like the Sunflower, she seeks light but also cautious of her surroundings. IMAGINE was quite lucky to work with this down-to-earth beauty.
On track for recognition for the Class of 2019, she awaits top honors for her high school, the state of Arizona and national academics.
Your future is bright Thomasina! --you gotta wear shades! :) -referencing my 80s culture.
Kelli took the time to travel from Winslow, the day before, so we could get an early start the next morning. The shoot was an overall success and it was pleasure working with the National Honor Society student athlete. After the shoot, we did have to take some extra time to remove a few cactus quills here and there, but desert offered it's beauty, we were more than happy to sacrifice the tiny inconveniences.
IMAGINE loves meeting these rising stars, and in this case a blooming blossom! Aside from the impressive resume in both academics and athletics, she is a down to earth person with a strong future! Thank you Kelli and family!

Our Jayda was a sensational subject yesterday, not minding the 100 degree shoot, this soon to be senior was phenomenal! With a little bit of wardrobe planning she transformed from super student athlete to super model! She took to the camera so well, such a trooper!
We did start the morning at 6am, but packing and traveling to location always begin at lease an hour before. On our way, we did take a little detour to grab some coffees and Dutch Bro treats, which not only gave a hefty boost but also doubled as a great prop! We had such a great time freezing time with this awesome volleyball player who just recently represented Arizona at the HP Championships in Tulsa, OK.
So great that this Lady Warrior is our 2020 Senior student rep.
As a Warrior, She says that she's never afraid..

When moments call for Natural Light, the situation will dictate.
We arrived at the location, with the notion that we'd be able to park anywhere we'd like, only to be faced with the situation of driving in circles to find a parking space. For months, Phoenicians have been patiently awaiting our well deserved cool mornings, so it being November, our morning bonuses are finally here - meaning everyone is out early.
As we looked for a spot to do the sessions, I kept thinking to myself how beautiful the light was, soft and predictable. We found our clients and were ready to roll - however after setting up, my main light was out, and unuseable. I got my wish... natural light it is. With just a reflector, these images were the result. Our clients were thrilled at the outcome... this particular client based entailed 4 generations.
IMAGINE is already booked for upcoming baby session.

(10.21.17) When it happens for the first time, I call it luck but when it happens a second time, it's because of skills. IMAGINE was called upon to be hero for another couple in need. We were able to deliver photos and printed announcements within 5-7 business days. It was an absolute pleasure to work them and we've extended our client base beyond our Tempe location. We wish them the best!
Weddings are stressful enough, as a couple you are planning the perfect day, up to months and months in advance. As a bride, you want nothing short of perfection, so when original plans of going with another photographer fall through, panic sets in and of course more stress... Luckily, Ms. Eve contacted IMAGINE and we set a course of action to get her what she needed -- Photos for her wedding invitations, that need to go out ASAP for her upcoming nuptial.
It was another early start for us, as we rolled out of bed at 4:50am and made our way to location. We were greeted by a beautiful, cool (63 degrees) desert morning! But the sun wasn't the only greeter, low and behold, a hummingbird graced us with her presences. What beautiful sign of things to come. Eve's little sister, Talaya took this great photo, IMAGINE in action! Thank you Talaya!
After wrapping up, we took some time, and later today, presented Eve and Loren with the final shots. They were extremely happy with the images, and declared us "Heros of the Day"!
Thank you Eve and Loren for putting your trust in IMAGINE! We are looking forward to attending your wedding and officially being your Wedding Photographers!

What a beautiful place to be... Wheatfields, Arizona. As a photographer, lighting is everything, so prepping into the late night for a 6am photoshoot does get a little tough sometimes. This 6am photoshoot meant getting up at 4:30am, packing, and driving 45 min to the location, from Window Rock, Arizona.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Ms. Nessa. What made the session more fun was getting her into the ice cold water, and like a true blue Scout, she braved the waters with a smile. It's quite evident that this young woman will face both her senior year and future with pose and tenacity.
I'm looking forward to meeting more Class of 2018 individuals!
