Film, Recent Professional & Personal Projects

A few from my latest rolls. If you are a client, or interested in having me shoot some film as well, please ask for details!

First up: Matt & Jen’s Wedding. The ridiculous thing is that I’m posting the film shots BEFORE my digital (Matt & Jen, I promise it’s coming soon!), because it just looks so good.

Next up: from Ashley Forrette’s portrait session:

And from Courtney & Kirk’s Day-After session:

From Kristin & Jonathan’s Anniversary Session:

And of course, a few personal ones:

Ashley Forrette, Portraits

Aaron — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:53:10 +0000

As many of you know, Ashley Forrette and I shoot a lot together, including through our Pancake Studios. We make a lot of funny pictures. We make a lot of wedding pictures. When Ashley asked me to take some promo portraits for her upcoming website and brochures (just kidding about the brochures), I said yes. But inside I puked my guts out. I’ll let her share sometime about what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera, but for me, for the chance to photograph one of my favorite photographers in the universe, it was a pure honor. Thanks to Sauvie Island for being other-worldly.

The Sanneman Family

These guys are the most ridiculously kind people I know. There is a great quantity of love in their family.

The Smith Family

Aaron — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:05:18 +0000

Ashley and I went up to Seattle to see these two color-matched munchkins run around us and smile. It was well worth it.

Malia & Maggie

Cuteness x silly x just being little kids. Exponential equations can’t keep up.

Justin Caldwell, Rock and Roll

Aaron — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:00:52 +0000

Justin Caldwell is a performing musician in Nashville. He is also my bro-in-law. Therefore, he is awesome.

Krista, Portraits (Harpy the Harp Included)

Aaron — Thu, 27 May 2010 23:53:26 +0000

While in SF with Ashley, one of our shoots was with Krista, a beautiful harpist (performing and in person), who was looking for more romantic and dramatic shots to add to her portfolio. Visit Ashley’s blog to see her take. I think our two styles and ingredients make great pancakes. Also, Krista, I named your harp for you, hope you don’t mind.

Shot at the Allied Arts Guild.

Lil’ Taylor & Family

Aaron — Tue, 25 May 2010 16:50:33 +0000

Makes me almost want to have another one. Almost.

I shot this family with my cameras and with Ashley Forrette, who also made amazing pictures.

The Yinger Family

Aaron — Wed, 12 May 2010 05:16:21 +0000

The Yinger family is awesome. Mostly because I got to boss them around. But that’s not the only reason. Four generations all together is awesome X 4. But bossing is fun.

Thanks to wide-open Vancouver sunlight and the Yingers for being happy people!

Jasmine, Senior Portraits

Aaron — Fri, 07 May 2010 23:51:56 +0000

Sometimes life gives us lessons. Many of these lessons are over microphones at high school graduations, all about succeeding, that the future is yours, and that you can change the world. Insert eye roll here.

That’s just what Jasmine is doing. Next step, off to Gonzaga. She will succeed, the future will be hers and she will probably change the world. And all the eye-rollers will weep and then thank her for being awesome.

But before she did that, I had to take pictures. We had a really fun portrait session down near the Saturday market.

Thanks Jasmine!
