I read this about sand dollars once and it kind of spoke to me; I felt like it captured the essence of me and the spirit of my business:
Sand dollars move with the sea. They embody energies of transformation, freedom, and the strength to change with grace. Legend has it that the five doves of peace can be found within a sand dollar shell. Some say these are the five angels that sang to the wise men. Trust the process and receive the blessings that flow toward you.
Hey there! Whether you stumbled here accidentally or came looking for me, I’m really glad you’re here.
I’m Aimee. Photographer, memory-keeper, and someone who believes the smallest moments usually matter the most.
Before I tell you why I love photography, here are a few important things you should probably know first:
-
My family is everything to me
-
If you bring chocolate, we’ll get along just fine
-
I’m a diehard Minnesota Twins fan… through all of it
-
You’ll usually find me with my nose in a book
-
And while I live in the land of cold and snow, my heart belongs somewhere with palm trees and ocean air
Now, the real reason I do this:
Some of my most meaningful possessions are photographs. Not the perfectly posed ones, but the ones that hold stories. The ones passed down from my parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents.
They’ve become pieces of history, proof that we were here, that we loved, that we lived real lives.
That’s what pulled me into photography in the first place and it’s what keeps me here.
In 2015, I committed to a Project 365, taking a photo every single day for a year. Somewhere in that process, something shifted. What started as an interest became something much deeper and with a lot of encouragement (and a few people believing in me more than I believed in myself), this turned into something I get to call my own.
Now I get to do that for other people.
To capture the in-between moments, the real expressions, the connections that don’t need to be forced and turn them into something you’ll hold onto for years.
And if this feels like your kind of thing, I’d love to work together!
(I’ll probably make it feel easier than you expect… and maybe even a little fun!)
