HO I AM
For the Candid Vibes and Inclusive Photography in all things Love. I’m Jayme, but my closest friends call me “James”—a childhood nickname from my uncle that just stuck! Born in the ‘80s and raised in the ‘90s, I’m a Millennial from the Xennial sub-generation. Love all the nostalgic things! I am here to empower you and make your photos a true representation of who you really are. I like to do things a bit differently, so I am highly involved in the process leading up to the actual photographing, because I always want to make sure that your photos are true, raw, and real. If this sounds like your vibe, I'm willing to bet I could be the perfect photographer for you.

CLIENT REVIEWS
FROM
EMMA
“I have worked with Storyteller Collective as a second photographer (wedding), and she is so relaxed and also efficient. She works with a sense of urgency but doesn't rush her clients. Knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and knows exactly how to arrange the day so that it serves her client. She's also very, very good at adapting when things change (like when it rains on an outdoor ceremony) and reassuring her clients that we've still got it covered. She is a really good person who is fun to work with. She produces high quality work on the regular and her work is so beautiful!”
A FEW
OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
I enjoy coffee, especially iced caramel lattes with lots of ice. My favorite place is a local
shop named Burgies. You should visit it if you're in Ames and want great coffee.
I love traveling when I can, and I enjoy working with couples who want to get
married in unique locations. My favorite spot is Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
I enjoy True Crime and History, and also host a podcast called History + True Crime Uncovered. You can listen if you're interested. I love a good historical fiction book too.
Music is everything! Growing up in the ‘90s—one of the greatest eras for all genres—
I developed a deep love for it that still sticks with me today. My playlists are endless.
