yeah! weddings

Something exciting has been brewing for the last number of months, and now I can finally share it with you all. Samm Blake has embarked on a new venture of which I am a part. It’s called Yeah! Weddings, and it is an Australian based wedding photography agency. A bunch of awesome photographers are involved (Melissa Mills, Ben Murphy and Julia Turner), and we form a collective of artists that are passionate about being creative.

I am deeply honoured to be represented by someone whose work I have and will always admire and whose honesty, willingness to share and hard working attitude are something to aspire to.

i’m so very blessed to have the support and encouragement of my friends, family and husband in pursuing something that is dear to my heart. this is the start of a new adventure, and i am very much looking forward to travelling the road it may take me on.

Chris - Like we said already, we’re really excited for you, Aimee! What an awesome door to be opened. All the best and I hope it goes well!

Krista - Hi :) you were recommended to me by jemima cause she didn’t have the date available just wondering if you have the 22nd of march 2014 and what you prices range from? Thanks look forward to hearing from you

Melissa Mills - Beautiful post Aimee. cant wait to share this adventure with you

caitlin, jess and brianna

these three are something special. jess organised to have some photographs taken of her and her sisters as a gift for caitlin who will be married so very soon! we had an afternoon of laughs among the trees in their grandparents backyard. sisters are special, there’s no doubt about it, and these girls are proof.

Melinda - Gorgeous photos!

melissa - beautiful photos aimee!

tree hunters

a few weeks ago i went on a photography adventure with two rad photographers, bianca and jenna. we traversed the countryside and found light among the trees. so many trees. it was beautiful. it was a bunch of fun hanging out with two awesome girls who think the same way i do about photography and what it means to make images, and are willing to share what they know.

here’s to many more adventures!Bianca ToddJenna MasonBianca Todd

sarah and nathan were married on a sunny day in march. they said i do with the sand between their toes and had the most lovely celebration in sarah’s parents backyard, complete with twinkling lights and stemmed flowers in bottles. i love weddings in homes, where the laughter trails on into the night and a thousand memories are created in a space that will, from now on, hold even more meaning.

Myekal Benham - Great work Aimee!!!

let’s be adventurers

adventure: noun

1.  an undertaking of uncertain outcome; a hazardous enterprise.

2.  an exciting experience.

a week ago i was having all these doubts that i was a boring person. i didn’t have any exciting travel plans to some far off destination, i felt annoyed that i was just sitting at the beach while other girls were surfing and i felt unmotivated and un exciting. my husband said i was being silly. “no one thinks you’re boring aimee, you do lots of exciting things. you take photos”. he is right. adventure is different for everybody, and taking photographs is an adventure, every time, if you go by the definition above.

i like to go on adventures.  i like to feel exhilarated by experience.  i find adventure in all sorts of things. meeting someone new for the first time, driving on an unknown road, swimming in the ocean when it’s raining, climbing over rocks, travelling alone.

i read this during the week which really made me think:

No is just a safety mechanism that keeps you from taking a risk.

sometimes i just need to say yes, to plunge myself into something that i know will make me uncomfortable, but will undoubtedly help me grow. so, for the next four weeks i am taking this workshop. it’s my hope that it will keep me challenged, make me feel uncomfortable and stretch my creativity.

here’s to the adventure.

xanthe - Very thought provoking. I couldn’t agree more.
We’re all different and through the ebb and flow of life, we’re different at different times.
Adventure is your own thing. And you’re doing pretty well so far.
