candid photography for the down to earth chill vibes.

ALL THINGS LOVE / DES MOINES, IA - WORLDWIDE

It goes beyond simply documenting scenes; it delves into the heart of the narrative, conveying the truth and essence of a subject or moment. It's about finding the beauty in imperfection, the poetry in everyday life. These photographs are not just pictures; they are windows into the soul, invitations to see the world through someone else's eyes, and reminders of our shared humanity.

Like diamonds, genuine laughter, and unconditional love, this is the real deal.

Hey Ya, I'm Jayme Peters; the face to Storyteller Collective Photo Co., proudly located in Ames and serving the vibrant community of Des Moines, Iowa, and beyond. I began this company many moons ago with a solid purpose - to make people feel something and to evoke genuine emotions through my photography. My passion lies in documenting individuals as they live their best lives, immersed in the activities and passions that fuel their souls. As a non-traditional photographer, I thrive on capturing authentic memories rather than elaborate setups. It's about freezing moments in time that speak volumes and resonate deeply with those who experience them.

Looking for updated photos or have an awesome idea you want to do? I'm all for it! I travel all over Iowa - with NO travel fees, it's always included - because I love to shoot at new places. If your session is going to be outside of the state, I'm totally in (travel fees for those are on a case-by-case basis).
