“My experience with Aaron was wonderful. He was professional and friendly, demonstrating his knowledge of photography through conversations and shooting. His attention to detail was impeccable, and the end results speak for themselves. Very talented, he took us through various locations to try for the best possible shot, watched the lighting carefully, and helped pose for the greatest benefit to myself and the pictures. Aaron had great ideas and gave us different things to try and different tips that will help with any photo session done, on how to pose or look. I had a great time and the pictures are absolutely amazing!” :)

“Aaron, before the session I was as nervous as I had ever felt! After a few photos, I became more comfortable with it and eventually caught on. This was my fist photo shoot and I’m glad it was with you. You’re an amazing photographer and I know your going to go so far with it! Not only did you teach me how to pose and techniques, but I went to places I had never been to before (and I also learned some words in different languages). I really appreciate it. And I’m definitely looking forward to working with you in the future! Thanks again. By the way, my dad is definitely gonna go looking for that D.A.D.D. shirt! haha – love, ashley:)”

“I had tons of fun at my session with Aaron. I loved all the locations he suggested and I absolutely love all my pictures. He was so much fun and he always made me laugh, which made me more relaxed. He helped me a lot with posing and told what looked good on the camera and what didn’t. He was fun but always stayed professional. And I suggest everyone to get their pictures done by Aaron!”

“Aaron Geller was recommended by my daughter’s friend. When it was time to get Senior pictures, she convinced me to use Aaron. I admit I was skeptical, but I checked out his website and decided to give it a try. Senior pictures are marking a significant time in life and you want to get unique pictures that show your son or daughters personality. Aaron’s approach is to use what is in our surroundings instead of a studio. We traveled around Toledo finding unique spots that were great natural backdrops. Aaron has an eye for how to use the surroundings to create the best images. The end results were spectacular. My daughter’s natural beauty was captured and EVERY picture was great.”
“Personally, Aaron is a great young photographer. He is creative, pleasant and intelligent. I see a great future in photography for Aaron. I would definitely recommend Aaron Gellar if you want picture that are as unique as you.”
Sincerely
Debbie Leibig”
Dakota Manley of Springfield ‘11
“During the session I had a lot of fun. We went to at least 4 different places, including an abandoned train which was very neat to experience and shoot at. I learned to be more confident with myself, and I also learned which ways my body looks best. I learned that poses that may feel awkward look the best and that you will be very happy with your pictures if you listen to the photographer. I had a lot of fun doing the different poses and learned a lot about angles and different kind of poses that change the entire feel of the picture. Your pictures come out better when you feel comfortable so in my session it was very nice to have a photographer that cared so much about how i was feeling about my shoot and pictures. Overall, I think the session was beneficial to my confidence.”

“I really enjoyed my photo shoot with Aaron Geller. He’s really professional, and made me feel comfortable. I was sort of nervous the day of, and I got butterflies just thinking about a photo shoot. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for it.. I’m glad Aaron Geller shot my photos, I’m not sure I would have been as comfortable with another photographer. I admire his work, and his photos are amazing! He taught me to compare myself to no other, but me. It helped my confidence a lot, and I’m ready for another shoot! Aaron did a fantastic job, and made me feel so much better about myself, I recommend him to you, also. He’s an amazing photographer, and he’s a talker, hah. He makes you feel secure and so much more comfortable. I thought my photo shoot went well, and went by very smoothly. I loved the places we shot the photos, and I ended up loving my pictures!”

I had an amazing shoot with Aaron. Although it was very cold out we still had a great time! I loved that he was patient and understanding. He made the whole session a lot more comfortable for me. There was never a dull moment either, we had lots of fun and enjoyed each others company. The shoot boosted my confidence level as well as my self esteem. It made me see myself in a whole different way. I’m so glad I had a shoot with Aaron. It really was an amazing experience! I hope to do another shoot very soon. Thanks Aaron!!

“Aaron is very down to earth and makes you feel very comfortable. One example was when we were doing a shot in a very cold walk way, he took his jacket off so I wasn’t the only one freezing. We went to a lot of neat locations and it was fun to walk around in downtown Toledo. He taught me the basics in posing and allowed me to express myself in my poses and then he showed me how to perfect them. My experience was great and it felt like it was personalized just for me. He really took the time and effort to make sure I got the most out of the photo shoot I could. I would definitely recommend seizing the opportunity to shoot with Aaron because the results are amazing and it really helps boost your self confidence. Thanks Aaron!”

“First, I will recommend Aaron to everyone!! I had so much fun with him during my photoshoot. He is extremely knowledgeable and was so patient working with me. I have done a couple photoshoots, but not very comfortable with self-posing and Aaron helped me learn new techniques. He made me feel like an old friend, when it was really our first time meeting. He makes it personal, not just photographer to client. I laughed so much and loved every minute of our session. I made a great friend and as a bonus an extemely talented photographer. Thank you so much Aaron, I can’t wait for our next session.”

“I was kind of nervous first five minutes, I didnt know what to do and how to pose. He helped me and told me just to have fun with it!

“Dear Aaron Geller, First off, you aren’t just a photographer, you have become a friend. I want to thank you so much for the experience you gave me. when I first walked in to the studio, my stomach was filled with butterflies. After a couple minutes, I felt comfortable and just the normal me. I didn’t really know how to pose, but you easily helped me through that and sooner or later, I finally learned how to keep my hand back and fingers together lol. Also, even though I came with very limited clothes, you still worked with it and took amazing pictures. When I felt that I was doing something wrong, you helped me through it. You would capture my mistakes and then pose me the right way, showing me my mistakes and helping me improve. I would really like to work with you again Aaron. I had so much fun and I have more confidence in myself thanks to you. Greatly appreciated.”

“Although the weather was gloomy, you would never know it from the beautiful photos taken by Aaron. My experiences through out the entire shoot were always comfortable, fun, and different than any others that I’ve done in the past. The best part was being able to move around, while traveling through Downtown Toledo to various buildings and sites. I loved the fact that I could communicate with Aaron and feel comfortable. I feel that it’s important to build a friendship with a photographer, and that’s just what he helped me do! I’m glad I endured the miserable, frigid, rainy, and snowy weather because I ended up with boosted self-confidence, a new friend, and new tips for furthering my modeling career. I’d also like to thank Aaron for his time and patience while working with me! He really knows what he’s doing!”

“My experience with Aaron was magnificent. He has a wonderful personality, and is easy to get along with. During the session he didn’t leave any sort of weird silence. In the beginning of the session I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and was really nervous, but by the end of the session I felt a lot more comfortable, and started to feel like I was actually a model. I was almost not going to get my senior photos done, but his unique style persuaded me to get them done. Within the short amount of time we had and how frigid it was, Aaron took many good photos. The experience was great and the pictures came out better than I thought they would.”

“Having a session with Aaron Geller was a wonderful learning experience. I have never modeled before, and I was extremely nervous walking into the session. Within five minutes, my nervous feeling had disappeared and I was completely calm. Throughout the session, he taught me how to pose and make use of the area around me. He talked to me the entire time as if he were my friend, not just my photographer. I feel that it is very important to establish a feeling like this. The session made me feel more comfortable with myself, and improved my self confidence. He made sure the session was personal, and the photographs were all unique. Overall it was a great experience, and I would not pass up the opportunity to do it again.”

“I was nervous for the shoot Sunday, but Aaron is very friendly and helpful. He also talks a lot, so there is no awkward silences or confusion. His style is different, but cool. I had an overall good time. Most people laughed when Sutton and I said we wanted to get photos professionally done to celebrate our one year anniversary, however, Aaron gladly accepted the task of working with us. Thanks Aaron!”

I highly recommend working with Aaron whether you are an experienced model or a first time model.”

Thank you Aaron! I had so much fun!”
