About
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I bring over 15 years of experience capturing people, products, real estate, and the natural world. My work ranges from high-end portraits and wildlife photography to commercial shoots, real estate listings, and private photography instruction.
With a background in graphic design and deep expertise in post-production, lighting setups, and image manipulation, I deliver polished, visually compelling work—whether I’m photographing a family, a luxury home, or leading a guided photo hike.
Sessions with me are relaxed, professional, and highly personalized. I value clear communication, creative collaboration, and consistent results that feel authentic and intentional.
Let’s create something meaningful together.

We loved working with Aaron for our house warming ceremony. His energy in making my family comfortable for the pictures was great! We loved all the pictures. Another thing we appreciated about him was that he took pictures non stop during the time frame we hired him. There were much more pictures than we expected!
Highly recommend and will hire again!

We loved working with Aaron for the second time! He is patient and willing to meet you where you want, take all the photos you want, make it fun, fast turnover time, and affordable! To us pictures last a lifetime and Aaron captures these memories for us!

Aaron was incredible to work with. His personality instantly made me feel comfortable, and he really helped me feel confident in my own skin throughout the shoot. He gave helpful guidance and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. Beyond that, the camera quality was amazing, his creative ideas brought the shoot to life, and the editing was top-tier. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, and it shows in the final results. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer.

I’ve worked with Aaron a couple times now. We first did a family portrait session and got really lovely photos. We hired him again for a senior portrait session with my daughter. She went alone and was very comfortable working with him. He’s such a nice guy. Again we got really great photos. Also, scheduling with him leading up to her session was amazing. Since the photos were so important to my daughter, she wanted to have the right weather and Aaron really worked with us. Her originally scheduled day was not good weather, and Aaron was so easy-going about finding a new date. Overall, I’ve had really great experiences working with him and highly recommend him.

Huge thanks to Aaron for taking our engagement pics! He brought great energy, kept things fun, made the whole shoot super easy, and natural. Which we really appreciated since it was our first-ever photoshoot. We’re so happy with how the photos turned out!!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design and have over 15 years of hands-on experience as a professional photographer. My background includes studio lighting, advanced photo editing, and directing hundreds of portrait and event sessions. I’ve trained extensively in both natural light and on-location photography to deliver high-quality, polished results for every client.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started in photography back in 2005, capturing portraits and events for friends and local clients. Over the years, I honed my skills as a studio photographer and developed a strong eye for lighting, posing, and detail. My work has since been featured in dozens of magazines, and I’ve had the opportunity to photograph everything from high-end portraits to large-scale events. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a career I truly love.
