🎉 HEY GUYS, IT’S PHOTO-PICKING TIME! 😄📸🔥

LET’S GOOO!!!!

Alright, real talk: I’m trying to get your photos out ASAP, and I have been absolutely spiraling trying to guess which 8–10 shots you’d love the most out of the literal mountain of photos we made together. 😂

So instead of me melting down over here, I figured… let’s make this a team sport. You’re officially part of the process now.

I marked my top 10 as “Selected,” BUT I also dropped a whole bunch of extra gems — silly ones, sweet ones, epic ones, “why are we like this?” ones — into an “Additional” section.

Even though we booked a 30-minute session, you all were too good and I couldn’t stop. Wouldn’t stop. So we actually shot for almost an hour, and I kind of screwed myself over by creating too many damn good images.

So here’s the deal:

👉 See a photo you love more than one of my picks? Swap it. I support your truth.
👉 Want more edits? Heck yes. They’re $20* each (I’ve included a detailed explanation of the process below the Additional gallery) and come with unlimited high-res access, in perpetuity — meaning you can print them the size of a garage door if you want. Dream big. Live large.

When you send your picks, just send me the last 4 digits of each file number. Super easy, super fast.

Also — the final edited versions will be cleaned up with better lighting, color work, skin refinements, flyaway hair cleanup, background touch-ups, and all the little polish that makes the final images look amazing.

If you need a few images RIGHT AWAY for the holidays (cards, gifts, grandparents, your dog’s OnlyFans listing, etc. 😂), just text me a heads up that you want them quick, and then email your selects to aaron@outerelementsphotography.com. I’ll fast-track those for you. VIP treatment. Red carpet. No waiting in line.

Otherwise, no stress — just email me your favorites when you’re ready, and we’ll go from there.

Alright friends — dive in, have fun, argue lovingly about favorites, and enjoy reliving the chaos and magic of our session. Can’t wait to see what you choose! 🙌🔥📸

Before you dive in, just a quick heads up:
All the images you see in the gallery right now are proof images. The “Selected” ones have had a light treatment so they’re easier to preview, but they are still unprocessed. Whatever final images you choose will receive full editing and polishing — the real glow-up.

Selects:

Please note: you guys were the first family I started processing images for. I had already picked out the top ten images and started editing them which is what you will see in the selects gallery. But I was really struggling with simply sending them to you w/o any input from you guys. So…. I came up with this plan instead. That said, if you want to swap any pictures I selected out with other images please feel free to do so. I want you to have the best of what you see, :)

Additional Images:

*Additional Edited Images – $20 each
If you want more than the included images, extra edits are $20 each. This covers a full professional retouch, not just a preset or quick filter. Every final image gets:

  • Lighting and exposure refinements

  • Full color grading for consistency and pop

  • Skin smoothing and evening (while keeping everyone natural)

  • Flyaway and wayward hair cleanup

  • Blemish removal (temporary things go away, permanent features stay “you”)

  • Clearing up distracting background elements

  • Photoshop fixes as needed

  • AND—for group shots—I can combine the best expressions from multiple frames so everyone looks amazing

You’ll also get unlimited high-resolution access in perpetuity, meaning you can print the image at any size you want, from small prints to giant wall art.

The $20 rate is a friendly, accessible “friends and family” price that still covers the time and care put into each polished final.
