Photo Session Date: December 20, 2009
Photo Session Location: Winchester, Virginia
Photo Session Details: This past weekend we received over 20 inches of snow in Winchester, Virginia. Appropriately labeled the Blizzard of 2009, I have spent most of the past two days shoveling, shoveling and shoveling some more. I’m quite thankful that I live next to farmer and contractor neighbors with equipment that is able to plow snow quite well. Despite all the cleanup and inconvenience, the snow was very beautiful. I made it a point of mine to go out the morning after the snow had ended and take photographs and was treated to some breath-taking scenery. The sunrise combined with the untouched new-fallen snow resulted in beautiful lighting and colorful hues all across the landscape. It was quite a memorable snowfall and I am happy to have these photographs to remember it by.

This series is part of an on-going 26-week project entitled the ABCs of Photography in which I take a few photographs each week centered on on specific letter of the alphabet.
G is for Girls (My Girls!) - I’m a proud father, so any chance I get to show off my kids I’m going to do so 
. So you will understand the need to include my daughters in one letter of my ABC Photography Project. This past weekend I took their Christmas portraits and they did very well for a 3 year old and 19 month old. Of course there was some bribery involving candy canes (you will see evidence in the one photo below), but since Daddy is a photographer, the girls know to always say “cheese” when I have the camera pointing their way!

Photo Session Date: December 8, 2009
Photo Session Location: Clear Brook, VA
Photo Session Details: Twitter and Facebook have turned out to be amazing mechanisms for marketing and making professional connections. I have established many meaningful, professional relationships with many of my twitter followers and Facebook friends. The latest being Rob DeHaven and family. I was contacted by one of my twitter followers and Facebook friends, Rob DeHaven (@SecureITee), through the Facebook chat interface inquiring about a Christmas portrait shoot with his family.

F is for Forest - I knew that the letter “F” was going to be Forest when thinking about it last week, but having an unusual early winter snowfall served as an added bonus for this letter. I was presented with a whole new set of challenges while photographing in a snowfall (fogged up lens, water drops from melted snow, runny nose from fighting off a horrible cold), so it was definitely a learning experience. This forest is not that large (it sits right up on a hill near my house) but it is very pretty…especially during an early snow.
“Aaron is professional and courteous. He is very easy to get a hold of and flexible with changes. He quickly provided proofs and gave us a CD of all pictures included in contracted price. He is family and pet friendly (I am having him do a family project with pets). Even though he was one of the most reasonably priced photographers in our area, I didn’t feel that anything was sacrificed. He did a great job and I would recommend him to friends and family.” – Karen
