About

Aimee Giese (rhymes with easy) studied graphic design and photography 19 years ago in St. Augustine, Florida. Since then she co-founded a web development and health communication research firm named Klein Buendel in Denver, which is dedicated to health issues that impact our daily lives. But on the side, photography was always close to her heart, and she loved doing portrait sessions for clients. In Spring 2011, Aimee sold her half of Klein Buendel and went out on her own with Giese Media to focus on her four loves: graphic design, web development, social media, and yes – photography. In addition to her full-time job, her main creative outlet is her personal blog, Greeblemonkey.

Aimee specializes in up-close and personal portraits, with in-home and natural light settings. She likes to capture the feel of people interacting with each other or the camera in playful ways. Her love of macro seeps into her portraits as the photographs tend to be intimate, capturing un-planned moments, and many times focusing on FUN. She likes natural light, bokeh, flare, funky angles, color and most of all – capturing the moment. In general, she is not a high-concept posey-posey photographer. She pushes subjects to interact and see what happens. Yes, she has studio lighting equipment, but it is used almost as a last resort. She likes to see what magic she can catch!
