Kelsey at Captured Forever Photography

Your Family Photographer

As a mama, I've learned that parenthood is a journey that fills your soul with unending joy and laughter. Each day, my little adventurer shows me the beauty in simplicity and the magic in the everyday. He is my inspiration, my constant reminder that life is a wondrous adventure, and it's these emotions that I aim to translate into every photograph I take. When I look through my lens, I see the beauty in the world reflected back, and I can't help but feel a profound connection to everything around us. I hope to weave a tapestry of emotions that tell stories for generations to come. For me, photography is not just about the technicalities or perfectly posed shots; it's about forging genuine connections with each person I photograph. I love to hear your stories, share in your laughter, and create a comfortable space where you can truly be yourselves. It's in those unguarded moments that the real magic happens. I cannot wait to capture all the things that make you and your family uniquely you.

Family Photography FAQ’s

Do you only offer family photography in Irvine?

While I am based in Irvine, I provide family photos throughout Orange County. My studio is conveniently located in Huntington Beach, allowing me to serve families from all over the region.

Is there a limit to how many people can be in family photos?

My standard family photography pricing includes your immediate family, regardless of the number of children. For extended family photos, there is different pricing based on the number of people. Feel free to contact me for a detailed quote.

What kind of editing do you do on your family photos?

All images you receive are fully edited for exposure and adjustments, as well as my artistic styling. I offer basic and limited Photoshop edits upon request. If extensive retouching is needed, additional charges may apply. Please let me know if you have specific editing requests.

What should we wear for our family photography session?

Choosing the right outfits can make a big difference in your photos. I recommend coordinating colors without matching exactly, and avoiding busy patterns. Soft, neutral tones and comfortable clothing that reflects your family's style work best. All of my clients get access to an exclusive online styling assistant that makes coordinating outfits a breeze.

How long does a family photography session typically last?

Family photography sessions usually last around 45 minutes. This allows enough time to capture a variety of poses and candid moments. I strive to make the experience enjoyable and relaxed, so we get the best photos possible.

What if the weather is bad on the day of our outdoor family photoshoot?

If the weather is unfavorable for your scheduled outdoor family photoshoot, we can reschedule for a better day, subject to availability. Your comfort and the quality of your photos are my top priorities. Alternatively, we can move the session to my Huntington Beach studio if scheduling allows or choose an indoor location that works for you.

    My husband and I hired Kelsey to take maternity photos and we had a fantastic experience with her! She gave us great directions for posing, made us feel very comfortable throughout the photo shoot and captured photos of us that were very natural. She's a very talented photographer and has a great editing style. She's also super friendly and was very responsive to any questions and requests we had. We LOVE the photos we received, and wouldn't hesitate to hire Kelsey again for family photo shoots in the future!

    Kelsey is an absolute WIZARD. We've hired her to take our family photos FOUR times in the past year because she has proven every single time that she's worth every penny. We'd never even consider hiring someone else. I'm always worried that we'll feel stiff and awkward in front of the camera, but Kelsey knows how to provide just the right amount of guidance to help us look our best without feeling overly "posed". And for almost every photoshoot, our little one has been either sleepy or cranky. But Kelsey is patient and creative, and always finds a way to capture our baby's BIGGEST smiles. She has always delivered a huge gallery of beautifully-edited photos to us much faster than expected. We will forever treasure the family photos she's taken for us.”
