OUR PROMISE

If the Idea of Being Photographed Makes You a Little Nervous, You're Exactly Who This is for.

Most people tell me the same things: "I'm not photogenic." "I'd need to lose ten pounds first." "I have no idea how to pose." Then they arrive at their session, and the worries drift away. Being photogenic is a myth. When you stop performing and let yourself simply be present, something else comes forward, and the camera finally catches you.

I call it being Soulgenic. Everyone has the ability to embrace that within themselves. My only job is to help you get there.

A Completely Different Way Of Being Seen.

SAME PERSON. SAME CAMERA.

This is what changes in a Soulgenic session; not your face, not the pose, not lighting tricks. The real difference is what happens when you finally feel safe enough to drop the weight of who you think you should be.

"His work is stunning in the way of a painting — not just depicting its subject, but a complete narrative. He brought out the part of myself that is strong, embodied, and worthy of being taken seriously." — Heather

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.
