At J. Graeler Photography, I photograph families, children, couples, and high school seniors throughout Warrenton, Wright City, Wentzville, Foristell, Troy, and surrounding Missouri communities.

Whether you are celebrating a milestone, documenting your connection, or simply wanting to pause this season of life for a moment, I specialize in creating portraits that feel personal, joyful, and true to who you are. From playful family photography and children’s milestone sessions to heartfelt couples portraits and timeless senior photos, each session is designed to reflect your unique story and preserve the moments you will treasure most.

Full sessions are 60 minutes, mini sessions are 25 minutes at specific locations. I offer Limited Edition mini sessions a select few times a year for themed sessions such as Sunflowers, Zinnias, Christmas, Fall and other themed sessions. Limited edition minis are available in both 15 & 25 minute options.

The J. Graeler PORTRAIT Experience

From inquiry to gallery delivery, your experience is simple and guided.

Step 1 — Inquire
Send a message through the contact form with the type of session you’re interested in and your preferred time frame. *Note that Fall is the most popular time of the year so booking 2-3 months early is best to ensure you get your session in!

Step 2 — Reserve Your Date & Location
Once your date is selected, a contract and retainer officially reserve your session. Sessions can take place at:

• Scenic outdoor locations near Warrenton, Wright City, and Wentzville
• My Warrenton studio
• Your home or property
• Meaningful locations such as parks, lakes, or family land

If you're unsure where to go, I’ll help recommend the best spots based on lighting and the look you want. Some locations might require a travel fee.

Step 3 — Style and outfit Planning
Neutral colors and coordinated outfits photograph beautifully. You’ll receive guidance on outfits if desired. Need more details on the best outfits, let's chat and I will send suggestions, visuals and even links if that helps. I want preparation to be low stress and feel easy.

Step 4 — Your Session
I will give you tips on preparing your family for what to expect so you arrive prepared which makes parents a lot less stressed to start with. Sessions are relaxed, fun, and guided so everyone feels comfortable. I monitor forecasts and we stay in contact in case we need to reschedule to avoid bad weather to ensure beautiful lighting so no stress for you!

Step 5 — Gallery Delivery

Your edited online gallery is delivered within approximately 3–4 weeks. No physical prints or printed albums are included in your session, they are available to add if desired. Full sessions typically deliver 70–100 images. Mini sessions include a curated gallery based on session length.
