About Aaron Watson Photography

The Watson Legacy

The Watson Legacy represents both my roots and our future, and is a story that shows the importance of preserving family photographic heirlooms. My journey into professional photography was deeply shaped by the loss of my father, before I graduated high school. Our last conversation was about buying a professional camera for me to pursue photography. It was a second heartbreak years later that I discovered all of my digital images with him had been lost on a crashed computer. Only the physical prints remained—a powerful reminder of how vital it is to preserve memories in lasting, tangible ways.
‍
Now, as a father myself, and alongside my wife Lisa—who has joined me behind the camera—photography has truly become a family affair. Together, we understand the importance of creating a family history that our own children can cherish for generations. This shared commitment drives us to not only preserve our own family’s story but also to celebrate and capture the unique stories of every couple and family we have the privilege to photograph.

Family legacy is at the heart of our work, symbolized by the “W” in our logo—a floral-inspired design that reflects both growth and life. This emblem honors my father, who was not only a photographer but also a landscape architect. Just as he thoughtfully designed gardens that would flourish over time, the “W” represents the lasting influence of his legacy and the values that guide our work. Our purpose is to ensure that the memories we capture don’t remain trapped on screens, or lost in the cloud, but are transformed into timeless heirlooms—tangible pieces of your family’s story to be cherished and passed down for generations.

We invite you to let us help create a photographic legacy for your family—just as we’ve now done for our own. Through timeless portraits and beautifully printed artwork, we’ll preserve your most meaningful moments so your story can be cherished now and for generations to come.
