Dallas Media Photographers

Aimee's love for photography started in high school. She had an extremely hard time focusing on her regular subjects, but photography kept her interest. She has not stopped creating since.

I have been using a camera for video and photo for over a year now, everything I've learned has been self-taught and taught through mentors and practice! My favorite thing is having my camera in hand and using it to help others whether its to make memories or help with a business!

Photography is how I show the people know how I understand the world. I started shooting when I was 11 and loved spending days in the darkroom. I went to The University of North Texas and studied art and journalism and was hired by The Dallas Morning News in my junior year. I am very technical in my approach and know the most important part of an image is what it says. Getting to know my subjects from crisis victims or a restauranteur is paramount to composing a photo that allows understanding.

All my training was done on the job, in the moment working with some extremely talented people. I learned how to use studio lighting by getting involved with photo studios in my area and booking photo shoots with local clients through volunteering at events, meeting people, and handing out my business card. This led to a great deal of paid assignments and opportunities. I also advertised online using Facebook and Google Adwords to get my portfolio in front of as many people as I possibly could. Through the years I learned to photograph very small, reflective jewelry to entire living room sets that I needed to light up from scratch. My training has taught me to seek a consistent, clean, bright quality in my photographs while keeping true to color and texture with minimal dependence on software. I try to make my image as perfect as I can in camera before turning to software to help or enhance the image.

I have traveled for people who love my work. I started taking pictures as a high school student and that has bosomed into a great career.
