Aime' Photography bio picture

Welcome to Aime' Photography's Blog

I love people.  I love watching people and how they connect with others.  Photography has been a means for me to capture that.  This blog is a place where I can share my thoughts on all the amazing people I get the chance to photograph.  Thanks for allowing me to do so.

It’s Photo Day…..

…..these are the dreaded words in our household. I start sweating before I even announce the words. The husband groans and the kids all the sudden turn into little demons and are bound and determined to make my day miserable and the most difficult possible. I have even tried tricking them into thinking we are just going to go have a fun family day dressed in cuter outfits than normal but they are onto me. This year it was chocolate chip cookies that were waiting for them patiently that bought me some extra time with them. All this is coming from the lady who would declare that photographing kids is one of my favorite things to do in life. I am making it my new years resolution to figure out this dilemma. Until then, here are my three darling kids whom I adore even after photo day. :) You will be able to tell which of my kids is the one that could wear swim suits out in the winter and do just fine. My other two were freezing the minute they stepped out of the car tis’ the lack of photos of them.

January 8, 2012 - 8:17 pm Linda Dobson - Very cute pics of my cute grandkids! Luke is pretty cute also! We will be home next weekend but only for a few days. See you all then! Luv, Mom

January 7, 2012 - 9:40 pm Amber Nicholas - Aimee- your kids are so so adorable. Cute pictures, thanks for sharing:)

Ryan & Lex

These two are adorable. I hadn’t yet met Ryan until their big day and you all know how nice I think Lex is from my last post. Well her hubby is equally just as nice and they are in LOOOOVVVVEEEE! I am talking like the smooshy, adoring, thinks each other is the best thing on the planet kind of love. I was so grateful to stand in the background capturing it all. Thanks again for having me!

December 20, 2011 - 7:40 am Lisa Hatch - Love, Love, LOVE! Perhaps the best compliment you could receive, is that when Lex saw the photos online for the first time, she started crying. You really captured the joy that we all felt in perfect, timeless moments. Thank you!!!!

Winter Bride

This is Lex.  My sis warned me that she is beautiful but I wasn’t expecting to meet someone who is also so beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.  She is so easy to photograph and was so sweet!  I would say, “Let’s do this” and she would say, “Cute”.  I would say “Let’s do that” and she would say, “Cute”.  Your getting the picture.  Everything was followed with “thank you so much”.  She was seriously so nice!  Thanks to Lex and also to her also beautiful mom.  Keep posted……Wedding day pics are shortly following.

Her beautiful brooch bouquet was created by Paula Hart.  Love it!  You can find her website HERE

December 13, 2011 - 8:16 am Linda Dobson - These photos are beautiful Aimee! You did a great job! What a gorgeous bride!

December 12, 2011 - 7:12 pm Kattie - You know I LOVE all of these:) Great job sis!

December 12, 2011 - 6:16 pm Lisa Hatch - A big thanks for your sweet comments on the blog!! SO glad we found you!!! Lisa

Bitta Cold!

Oh my goodness it was cold on the day we shot these.  I am seriously thinking it was about 5 degrees.  My sister’s aunt (don’t ask me to go into our family geneology….it is seriously confusing) had me up to their ranch for the morning to capture her brother (my sister’s dad) and his kids for a Christmas present.  Nice sister huh?  Anyways we braved the weather taking turns getting shots and then running back into the lodge to warm up.  Thank goodness their lodge is beautiful which made backdrops really close to warmth.  It was a fun morning and I even got a warm breakfast….waffles with fresh strawberries with the option of ice cream on top, ham, juice.  Now I am drooling and probably need to go get a cookie.  Adios

December 6, 2011 - 4:34 pm Rachelle - Oh my goodness! So nice of her!! And so nice to see these faces! Everyone looks so good! I hope they all are enjoying eachother and have a lovely Christmas. XOXOX to Dave and the rest! Aimee the pictures are so nice, crisp and love the wood in back. How lovely!

Sisters

These are the sweet little girls of one of my friends.  She is an amazing mother and I sit back and watch in wonder on how she is doing it and doing it so well.  It was my first time photographing twins and I have to say that I loved it even more than doing one.  Guess what happened when one of them started crying….of course my friend needed help holding the other one.  Guess who got to dress one of them while she was dressing the other…..that would be me.  Pretty much I got to hold at least one of them during the whole session.  I was in baby heaven.  I could have spent the entire afternoon with them but had to be off to do a bridal session.  Thanks Cathi for allowing me to spend the morning with you three.  They are beautiful!

December 8, 2011 - 1:30 pm Melissa B - Oh my goodness!!! These are the most adorable and precious pictures ever!! I love the ones where the girls are together. So sweet.

December 6, 2011 - 3:18 pm Maddie - So Adorable! I love Basket idea :)

December 6, 2011 - 10:34 am Cathi - I am SO in love with these pictures!! You are amazing and so talented. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! (and I really enjoyed a morning out of the house!)

“This is REALLY nice”

These are my neighbors and also the children that my kids spent the majority of this last summer with.  They are also the children that after we bought our 1973 ghettto, griswald motor home, looked at it and exclaimed, “this is really nice”…..so far my favorite line EVER by any of my kids’ friends.  I will post a photo of that bad boy as soon as the time is right.  Maybe I will take a photo of all of us standing in front of it for our Christmas cards.  Anyways they have beautiful kids who gave me a run for my money during the session.  I think we stole some priceless looks though.  Hope you all enjoy!

December 1, 2011 - 8:26 pm Melissa C - I was wondering why your title was what it was. Thought you might be talking about your Costco experience. Just so you know every time I think of your story I laugh, that just made my day when you told me. You are too cute. You need to tell Benton about your experience on Saturday night, I don't want to ruin the story! Love ya, can't wait to see you!

November 30, 2011 - 10:53 pm Rachelle - very nice pics as always, sister...every shoot is just so neat - cuz you capture your crew so well - i love the sun and the faces AWESOME!!!

Baby B

It is always a treat to photograph newborns but an extra special treat when they are family.  I get to snuggle them a little bit more than normal and the parents don’t look at me strange if I don’t give them back when they fuss a bit.  She was so super sweet and I am so excited for my cousin and her new journey as a parent.  Her and her hubby are already doing fabulous at it.  Congrats, she is gorgeous!


November 30, 2011 - 5:56 pm Rachelle - so darling

November 29, 2011 - 11:21 am Myrn - So sweet.

November 28, 2011 - 2:09 pm Britni - Thank you so much Aimee I love them! Sooo cute!

November 28, 2011 - 12:48 pm Aunt Sissy - Aimee, I love the pictures of Brooklyn. Thank you.

Texas

I have been hanging out with these little rugrats for the past 4 days.  It also has been four days of Kattie and I playing words with friends against my husband, eating way more than we should have of icecream, fish tacos, indian food, halloween candy, and spagetti and all this while getting spanked on the rear by Cohen, every 10 min, so I will chase him around the house (I can’t even catch him).  Good times!  Ahh….I love my fam.  A big thanks to Jason who allowed me to sleep in his bed with my sister and for doing all the stuff so Kate and I could stare at each other all day.  On my way back to Utah.  Peace out Texas!

My beautiful Sis....had to fight her on this one to put it on the blog

November 18, 2011 - 11:11 am Carol Westbroek - Once again your pics have brought tears to my eyes Maime! I miss our beautiful sis and her boys....and Kate, you sure know how to wear poka dots...cutest shirt ever sexy sister! Love you both!

November 16, 2011 - 5:45 am Kari Knight - Absolutely AMAZING. Her boys are beautiful, and Kattie likewise! You are so talented! LOVE YA---

November 15, 2011 - 1:07 pm Becky Earl - Holy crap! These are so adorable!!!! The boys look so big! Amazing job Aimee!!! And Kate is one hawt mama!!!!

November 15, 2011 - 12:09 pm Alayne Smith - Um, these pictures are amazing! I'm a friend of Katie's in the big TX, and I just am in awe at how talented you are. The boys personalities come out so perfectly in these pictures. And Katie, what a diva!!!

November 15, 2011 - 7:12 am Linda Dobson - Oh My Gosh!!!!!!!!! These pics are awesome! I just love those cute boys and Aimee you captured them so well! Beautiful pic of my Kattie Kate! I have such wonderful children and grandchildren! I couldn't be any luckier.

Trouble

Yep….call me CRAZY!  This would be the newest addition to our family.  I am not sure quite what happened.  It was Columbus Day, husband was off work, kids were in school and I was looking on KSL Classifieds.  This little guy popped up and was just right around the corner.  I knew the minute I said, “I will just come and take a look at him” it was a done deal.  Talk about surprise when the kids got home.  So the last week has been spent with interupped sleep, running around like a crazy women following his every move so that he doesn’t pee or poop in our house, picking up every little thing that doesn’t want to get chewed up and spending the 20 minutes snuggling him (that is the amount of time he actually chills out to let you snuggle him).  When he does die down he completely dies down and is pretty much OUT!  So basically we have a newborn in our home except he is not wearing a diaper and came to our house already running.  He is seriously the sweetest little guy though and my kids…..just look at the photos….enough said.

November 28, 2011 - 11:26 am Connie Maughan - Aimee, I enjoyed the pictures of the kids and their new dog. They were so much fun to look at them with the dog. Make sure some of these pictures are on the calendar this year. You do great work.

October 20, 2011 - 7:58 am Melissa C - Love these pictures!!! You can tell how much your kiddos love him! Can't wait to meet the new addition to your family :)

October 19, 2011 - 4:42 pm Debbie - I love the biting of the ear picture! So cute!

October 19, 2011 - 3:10 pm Rachelle - So So So Cute - Tess is still cuter and chill :) love you - glad u found a cute puppy for you and your family!

October 19, 2011 - 2:55 pm Meggan - Um...that puppy is the CUTEST thing! I want one. Thanks for that...:)

Montana

My mom and I headed up to Montana to see my sister and my neices and nephew.  In addition I was able to mentor the fabulous Michelle Losing, a local photographer in the area (I will post a link as soon as she gets her blog up and running) and take photos of this darling family.  Sorry to the family I missed due to the flu…I will catch you next time.  It is so strange that everytime I go there and meet new clients and people I mentor I swear I have known them before.  They feel like family by the time we are done.  This family was no exception.  They were just all out fun!  It took the kiddos a few minutes to warm up to the idea of photos but once I broke out the preztel M&M’s, we were fast friends.  This tactic works on me also :) .  Michelle you are awesome and thanks to this family for delivering some beautiful photos.  Hope you enjoy!

October 15, 2011 - 7:27 am Amy Poulton - The pictures are amazing!! I can't wait to see you all at Christmas and meet my nephew. He is beautiful! I can't wait to hold him! One thing is for sure, you make lovely babies!! xoxo Amy

October 9, 2011 - 5:39 pm Kari Knight - You are such a great photographer Aim, and it looks like you had a ton of fun too.

October 5, 2011 - 9:49 am Lois Poulton - These pictures are priceless. Is there any way of getting copies?

October 4, 2011 - 7:56 am Lara Poulton - What a beautiful family I have! :) Thanks for capturing that. Love them! Can't wait to see the rest!
