Aaron Nanto | Photo+Cinema bio picture

Hello and welcome - my name is Aaron and this is my photo+cinema blog.  Located in Seattle, Washington I specialize in capturing relaxed portraits, candid moments, special events and everything in-between.

This blog follows both my personal and professional life from behind the camera and features photos & video from clients as well as my friends and family.  For my entire life, I have been interested in the art of capturing moments on film, and I hope to be able to capture yours.

Youth fundraiser

Ah the joys of youth!  This photo session for a formal youth fundraiser event was full of fun with the youth practically tripping over one another and jockeying for more face time with the camera.

A family together

This wonderful family wanted a proper photo shoot together as their 2nd eldest boy goes away to college.  The weather was a slight concern but turned out to be overcast (perfect light for photos!)

Kenna’s portrait session

I was first introduced to Nancy & Tom back in 2007 when I had the distinct pleasure to film their wedding (which was one of the most enjoyable weddings I have ever filmed!)  Only a few short years later, they were blessed with a beautiful baby girl which they named Kenna.

The beginning.

Starting out in the videography scene many years ago, I have always wanted to “take the dive” into photography.  With my recent purchase of the Canon 5D Mark II and some high-end glass, the time is finally at hand.  Keep watch for some great things to come!
