A photographer friend of mine recommended Aaron to me when I was looking (last minute, of course) for someone who would be willing to take a picture of my immediate family in the few days between Christmas and New Years 2014, as that was the only time that everyone would be all together, as a Christmas gift for my parents. As you can imagine, most photogs take their well-deserved vacations during that time. Aaron graciously made himself available to us a couple days after Christmas.
We met him at the Scottsdale Civic Center park, where it was cold and crowded! Aaron stayed much longer than our allotted time with him, attempting to remember our names (10 of us!) making us feel comfortable, and ensuring that we got the group shots that we wanted. He took fantastic photos of us (each family/couple along with the entire group) and I appreciated his ability to listen to what we wanted as well as to know when to take creative control. Our photos are such a wonderful memory that we all treasure! I've been impressed as I've followed his Facebook posts since, and he has continued to improve his skills since our shoot with him.
We had such a fantastic time with Aaron, that we will be working with him again to capture our family photos for our Christmas card this year. We are looking forward to it!
