Introduction: As a photographer who is also a speech pathologist, I pay careful attention to the way people communicate. I work hard to make people comfortable when working with them and feel I can capture the perfect moments -- our faces and eyes tell such great stories. Having your picture taken can be uncomfortable -- I work to make it fun through laughter and conversation, to bring out the moments that capture you best. My favorite part of this work is when I am taking a particular picture or pictures and I think, "This is it, this is what they will want forever. This is that moment." I specialize in portraits, couples and engagement sessions, headshots, weddings, events, and family portraits. Given my other career as a speech pathologist, I am able to utilize strategies to facilitate successful photo sessions for individuals with disabilities, including developmental and intellectual disabilities, and I welcome the opportunity to do so. My mission as a photographer is to capture the best moments of all my clients, and I celebrate the diversity of the communities, families and individuals I have the opportunity to work with. I’m committed to providing authentic and inclusive services across race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, identity, ability, neurodiversity, and experience. Because everyone’s best moments are equally worth saving.

Aaron was exceptional! He worked with me every step of the way to help capture my surprise engagement to my girlfriend. He was extremely professional, very flexible for my schedule, and even worked directly with my girlfriend’s sister to help incorporate her into the surprise. His picture quality was excellent and he was a pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend Aaron for any of your photography needs!

We hired Aaron last minute for a quick engagement photo shoot and not only was he super flexible and professional, but the pictures we got back were absolutely beautiful and we are SO so happy with them! Thanks for putting us at ease and being accommodating. We trusted him and went with his direction (neither of us had ever had professional pictures taken) and were so pleased with the results. Thanks so much, again, Aaron!

Aaron is amazing. He captured out Holiday pictures perfectly. We included our dogs in the pictures and had lower expectations because dogs can be a handful. Not only were the pictures of my mom and I wonderful, but the dogs looked like models. Aaron was patient, helpful and engaged. He made pose and location suggestions that made our day flawless. Having your picture taken as an adult is stressful, but Aaron put us at ease and walked us through the process effortlessly. We will use him every year and would recommend him to anyone! It is amazing the small blessings we have found in 2020.... Aaron is one of those!

Aaron was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive as we exchanged several texts and spoke on the phone a few times before the wedding day. He also made me feel comfortable, even though I am not use to being photographed. His pictures turned out great and I am very happy with the quality. He captured special moments and candid photos that told a story of our special day for the many guests we could not have because of Covid. I would highly recommend him.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When I give a price, that price includes everything and does not change. It covers travel, editing time, and high resolution images delivered digitally. I upload the photos as I complete them, so you get them as soon as possible.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I get a new customer, I want to know any details about the photo session, such as the location, how many people will be there, what kind of photos the customer wants, whether there will be props or outfit changes, etc. I am happy to either talk on the phone or communicate by email/texting -- whatever the customer prefers. I am also happy to send a questionnaire that gives both the customer and me some ideas for the session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked as a second shooter for a local and well-respected photographer and have been gaining a lot of experience working with a variety of customers. As a speech pathologist, I am able to utilize strategies in order to facilitate photo sessions for people with disabilities. For example, if a child or adult benefits from seeing a schedule with words or pictures in order to help them understand the order of what will be happening, I am happy to accommodate.
