Behind the Scenes At Our Studio
As a full-service studio, our process is highly personalized. We create a relaxed environment where you feel safe leaving your comfort zone and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
A WALK-THROUGH OF OUR PROCESS
How The Session Works
BEFORE THE SESSION
Before booking a portrait session we always do a phone consultation.
This is to learn more about you, what kind of photos you want, and to discuss other aspects like wardrobe, hair and makeup, and costs.
THE DAY OF THE SESSION
On the day of the shoot you’ll arrive with your selected clothes and we’ll take a moment to just get to know each other a little more.
We’ll hang up the clothes on a rack and take a look through them.
THE PHOTOSHOOT
The shoot itself lasts about 2 hours. It will be more relaxed than any other photoshoot experience you might have had.
We’ll guide you through the entire process, so there’s really nothing you have to “do” except trust in us.
ELEGANT AND MULTI-PURPOSE
What Can I Use Portraits For?

We Will Be Returning For Future Portraits!

PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS FOR THE ENTIRE COMPANY
Highlight The Unique Spirit Of Every Member Of Your Team.
More Than A Photoshoot
The way that I photograph demands that you take the subject seriously no matter who they are or what they are. It’s like I’m tapping into the very human desire to be seen and heard that we all have.
I get personal satisfaction from giving somebody the space to experience that.

About Aaron Jay Young
I’ve been a portrait photographer in California for over a decade.
My work is my passion, it’s all my life experiences - the pain, the trauma, the work I’ve done to find forgiveness, love, and compassion for myself - that allows me to really see other people, their pain, their joy, their vulnerability, and capture it authentically.
Everybody deserves to be seen and to be heard.
