Meet Aimee, your photographer

 

Hey, I’m Aimee - maker of lists and lunchboxes, former tv show marketer and anti-stuffy* photographer obsessed with great stories.

*yes, I made that term up.

I love helping camera-shy people to feel confident in front of the camera so that they can show up and thrive in their careers.

I spent 7 years as a family photographer, so you can believe me when I say that if I can handle toddler tantrums I can handle your camera jitters!

Prior to that I had a career in TV branding and marketing. It was a little bit glamorous, but ultimately it was just about telling compelling stories, and that’s something I can do for you too!

I’ve been lucky enough to have my work featured in a range of publications, and have been the recipient of some pretty rad accolades, including being a finalist (among some 160,000 entries) in the Sony World Photography Awards.

When I’m not behind the camera you’ll find me managing the mischief of my own cheeky crew, enjoying a morning mocha, sending my girlfriends watch-list recommendations or re-folding an endless pile of washing (seriously, where is it all coming from?).

Testimonials

“The Authentic Storyteller is an outstanding course”

"The Authentic Storyteller is an outstanding course which covers elements such as lighting and composition in depth and also provides you with a framework for understanding what motivates you, helping you to discover your own unique voice. Aimee is wonderfully supportive during this journey. I fully recommend this course if you want to take impactful storytelling photos."

Jennifer Thomas, lifestyle photographer

“the absolute best part was the one on one feedback”

"The course materials were great... yet the absolute best part was the one on one feedback. Aimee did not sugar coat feedback, which I absolutely appreciate. She also often responded with short video clips of herself editing and responding to our images and questions. I have never before experienced that in a course and the personalization was incredible."

Ali Vbras, lifestyle photographer
