Founded by former photojournalists Kayla and Zoey, Storyteller Co. provides documentary event photography and short-form video in the Twin Cities. We specialize in quick turnaround for brand shoots and events, utilizing 35mm, medium format, and vintage motion picture film. We skip the staging for an "elevated game of i-Spy" approach that delivers authentic results for fast-paced brand needs.
Every spring, Minneapolis gathers around one of its most beloved unofficial traditions: the Giant Pencil Sharpening at Lake of the Isles. Equal parts whimsical public art event and neighborhood celebration, the 2026 sharpening brought together families, artists, cyclists, and curious visitors eager to witness the oversized pencil's annual refresh. As Minneapolis event photographers, we love documenting community events like this because they showcase the city's creativity, humor, and sense of connection. From candid reactions and local characters to the lakeside atmosphere and iconic sculpture itself, this Minneapolis tradition offered countless moments worth remembering.
