The Studio
When looking for a photographer, the most important thing to us was to find a photographer who truly captured the emotion of joy, laughter, love, and fun. That is exactly what we got from JGP’s beautiful pictures of our daughter. Jessica is such a genuine person to work with, someone who absolutely adores her job.
She'll get to know your family and has an amazing gift of being able to capture the moment in her camera and bring it to life in her photos. My husband and I were truly blown away when we saw our daughter's photos, they are absolutely perfect! If you're reading this review wondering if you should book J. Graeler Photography, stop and book her now!!

Jessica was incredible. My future wife and I contacted her for engagement photos on very short notice. Not only did she respond In an incredibly timely manner, she was incredibly flexible and was willing to work with us. She showed us a spot for the photos I wasn't too sure about, but she asked us to trust her, and the engagement photos turned out incredible.
She has a true artistic eye for photos. She will move you and make minor adjustments that will make the photos turn out beautiful. Her action and dynamic shots are really cool, and turned out super cute! I can not recommend her highly enough! We also booked her for our wedding and I know that they turn out fantastic!

Documenting our family has never been more important to us than when we had our son, when we found J. Graeler photography by chance I knew we found our family’s photographer! I love having amazing photos to keep adding pictures to our walls.
Jessica is great. I would highly recommend her that we are getting ready to have her do our family for the third time and love the Christmas tree farm minis as well! Can’t wait for our next session!

From the start I knew I did something right by finding Jessica when she went above and beyond BEFORE the shoot! We talked about what my expectations were and she even gave her thoughts on outfits and what would work best.
Then the day came, and like usual I was nervous. My husband was practicing standing and smiling and then that all went down the drain as she shot the first photo. She made us loosen up and I have never felt as comfortable at a photoshoot than I did with Jessica! She walked us through every pose, fixed hair, and made sure the outfits were looking perfect. She knew how to get genuine non-staged smiles. She was an absolute blast and I am SO glad that we found her!
