My name is Aaron Riddle and I am a professional photographer residing in Winchester, Virginia. I specialize in wedding photography, portrait photography and special event photography needs.
As a wedding photographer my style is unobtrusive, friendly photojournalism. I capture the spontaneous smiles, people living in the moment and details of your day as they naturally unfold. Your job is to relax and enjoy your wedding! My job is to document it for you to relive forever.

Sketch Name: Roller Skating Robot Terror
Thoughts While Sketching: I have been doing a lot of “clean line sketches” as of late, hence the reason I decide to go ahead and colorize them. This guy reminds me of a robot you might see on The Jetsons gone hay-wire. In fact, his eyes even somewhat resemble those of Rosie the robot maid. Who knows what his intentions are other than he is heading this way . . . and heading there fast!

Client: Footprints of the Mind, LLC (Irene Antonoglu) - Posted with permission.
Project Details: The client, whom I have done illustrative work for in the past, expressed interest in having a logo designed for her business, Footprints of the Mind, LLC. I had the client fill out a questionnaire, and learned that the business targets parents that want something more for their kids and understand that young children are capable of critical thinking skills even when they cannot read or fully articulate their thoughts. Irene also stated that part of Footprints of the Mind’s mission is to help create a safe place on the internet for little children. The client hoped for the final logo to evoke feelings of playfulness and professionalism.

Photo Shoot Location: Winchester, Virginia
Photo Shoot Date: June 30, 2009
Photo Shoot Details: Birds have a tendency to build nests in the most unusual of places around my home. Last year I found a robin’s nest under the hood of my mini-van, with three healthy baby birds! My wife cared for them and they were ultimately given to a wildlife rescue facility in the area. This year, a mockingbird has decided to make a nest in a bush right next to the fenced-in section of my yard.

Sketch Name: Frog and Laughing Fly
Thoughts While Sketching: Do you ever feel like you have a lot to do and would rather be elsewhere getting it done than stuck in the middle of a group socializing? That is how I felt when I sketched this quick cartoon. The drawing was done with a clean felt-tip black marker, so I decided to quickly colorize it for fun.

Sketch Name: Faceless Dynamite Guy
Where and When: Sketched during a meeting
Thoughts While Sketching: I’m not really sure what to say about this one. This is a cartoon / sketch that I fleshed out during a meeting. As far as I can tell it is some faceless character about to stick a lit piece of dynamite into a toxic container. Perhaps I wasn’t keen on the idea being discussed during the meeting and this is my brain’s way of communicating that visually.

Project Details: A long-time client of mine (wishing to remain anonymous for this post) contacted me to see if I was interested in creating an illustration for his one-year old son’s first birthday party. The client informed me that he and his wife wanted to place an illustration of their baby boy on the front of invitations to a first birthday party they were planning. The only requirements the client had for the illustration were that their little one should be interacting with one of their pet sheep dogs on the front of the card. The client provided me with a photograph of their child which you can see below (permission has been granted to post this photo):
