I’m a people person. I’m the kid who got you kicked out of class for goofing off with me. I’m still that kid. My greatest achievement is my daughter, Zoe. I love to explore new music. I’m also a leader with the ManKind Project, a non-profit personal development organization for men. I have a bachelor’s degree in theatre and English from Truman State and a master’s degree in English from the University of Illinois-Chicago.
After I got my Master’s in English, I was doing improv at a theatre in Chicago. Hanging out after shows, I’d hear actors complain about the personalities of their photographers. They described them as rude and egotistical. I always loved photography and did it nonstop from my first year of high school through graduate school. Why don’t I open a studio, I thought? At least I won’t be an a*%hole! Aaron Gang Photography was born on that simple premise in 1998.
I started with actors, which led to models, professionals, and corporations. In 2016, I expanded to serve families and pets. I wanted to make art for the wall to help families and pet parents celebrate their gifts.
I love stand-up paddle boarding and learned to snowboard at age 50. I also love all lawn games, especially frisbee and bocce ball. I’m an unabashed TV watcher and a sci-fi novel geek.
I love to get to know people and have fun with them. That always leads to great photography

“Working with Aaron on this portrait of our beloved Buddy was delightful. Having this image, where Buddy’s golden personality shines through, is a gift our family will treasure forever. Aaron was patient, creative, and the whole process was fun! Aaron has a keen eye and a warm heart and I can’t recommend him more highly.” – Josh W.
“The father in our family had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. We knew we only had a matter of months to create lasting memories. Aaron interviewed each member of the family separately, and then he brought us together for a joyful photo session that brought out the deep love in our family. He created a treasured art piece in our home. It brought my husband comfort during his last
“Really well done! Beautiful professional headshots. Neat studio, comfortable dressing room, and fantastic music during the shoot. Easy parking out front as well. I had a special request for a very quick turnaround on the headshots that Aaron was able to accommodate – I highly recommend!” – Michelle G.
