It’s a tradition in many homes to update the family portrait or one of a child at Easter — the time for renewal and rebirth. It’s also when spring has sprung and flowers begin to bloom again. In North Carolina, that can be as early as March and we’re taking advantage of the time to get Easter portraits back by … well … Easter!
We also have the baby chicks again (remember … the look and act like baby chicks, but they are in fact … fake baby chicks. If you simply don’t tell your kids, you’re safer because then they have the same time without the pecking and poo. ).

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you haven’t already gotten your photos, we can still do them … but we can’t get them back to you in time. 
SO … we’ve come up with a grand solution just for those of you DIY’ers (or those of you who’ve procrastinated until the last moment).
Do It Yourself Valentine’s Day Photos — IN our studio!
That’s right … we’ll set it up … you shoot it. Copyrights remain in YOUR hands, there is nothing additional to buy and you get your photos RIGHT away … then — there — at that moment.
Do It Yourself Valentine's Day Photos
Your $45 fee covers thirty minutes in the studio, on our white background with your valentine (people and still lifes only — sorry puppies and kitties — not this time). We recommend patience and kindness (ie. bribes and offers of undying love) to with your subjects.
The day starts at 10:00 am and ends at 5:00pm (in 30 minutes increments). Once a spot is booked, it is off the table and done! No more opportunity!
Call us right now to get in … Friday, February 12, 2010 ONLY for Valentine-centric photos ONLY.
There is a beauty in starting out ones married life with a rock — and a rock solid image of that rock. Don’t you think? Point and shoot cameras can’t get close enough or be held steady enough. But ours can! 
At each of our wedding photography consultations, we offer to photograph said rock — but we did it a little differently … with something of his. This isn’t a hand shot … no way … no how. This is a rock-solid rock shot, but the background has to be from the guy that gave it to you.
It’s the first step in merging your lives … ok … one of the many and we do it for FREE at your wedding consultation!
Free Engagement Ring Photography by Aimee
To setup your consultation, just give me a call and be sure to bring “a something” of his — if not the ‘he’ himself!
My ring shots have been used in save the dates, programs, on tables and just for enjoyment, so this isn’t just any old shot … this is extremely unique to you … and him.
Apex, NC – February 2, 2010 – Apex photographer Aimee Laine, has opened her Apex-based studio to photographers, videographers and amateurs alike with a Do It Yourself opportunity.
When the kitchen sink, magnet-covered refrigerator or stairs have had their last use in a personal photograph, there is another option that doesn’t involve hiring a professional.
Apex photographer Aimee Laine, with a studio in the Townside Center in Scott’s Mill in Apex, North Carolina has the solution.
“There is a place to hiring a professional — if there weren’t, I wouldn’t be in business,” says owner and photographic artist, Aimee. “But there is also a time where the photograph one wants just needs a better background and asking a neighbor for their hallway or dining room isn’t going to cut it.”
Pictures are said to be worth a thousand words, but when mixed with the clutter of every day life, they lose a few hundred descriptors because clutter kills the effect.
“At home, we move stuff out of the way, we shift our kids left and right, we stand them in hallways just to get far enough away to capture their entire body,” says Aimee adding, “professional photographers understand that — which is part of why we make our studios long and wide.”
Starting February 12th, the 17‘x28’ studio with 11’ ceilings will be open for temporary rental as short as a half-hour (by special event) to multiple days. The room boasts painted murals by artist Erica Aday, checkered and hardwood floors, solid white and solid black backgrounds as well as unique options such as hung tapestries and four funky Laura Kelly backgrounds — all available for use.
“All you need is your own personal camera and some patience,” says Aimee who laughs before she says, “Your own kids are the hardest photographic subjects you’ll ever encounter.”
For more information on the February 12th event or to get more information about individual rental of the studio, please visit www.aimeelaine.com or call 919.362.9039

Lifestyle photography is more about capturing life rather than formality — even if we do have a lot of fun with the formal in the studio. Today I give you a snippet of the type of photography you’ll see more of this year … kids being kids, doing kid-things. REAL life that we tell in stories — that we remember every day … sports, spins, paint, reading … life.

It’s always a challenge when putting together an album. What gets included? What doesn’t? Who gets to be in it? Who gets left out? When you can say ‘no one’ then that is the opportunity to create an entire storybook. That’s what we just finished for a client today. 331 image across 82 pages. It’s so big it doesn’t even fit in its own box! But, you can’t top it because ALL of the photos are in it. ALL of them. No one got left out. No one had to be nixed.
The whole story exists.
