In your Utilities folder is a program called Migration Assistant that is designed to do this.

From your ~/Pictures folder on the Macbook, copy the iPhoto Library and Aperture Library* to the ~/Pictures folder on the new iMac.

* If you used referenced files in Aperture you'll also need to copy the folder(s) containing the images over as well then relocate the masters within Aperture.
