  • 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.”

Newborn Photography FAQ’s

When is the best time to do newborn photos with an Orange County newborn photographer?

The ideal time to plan your newborn photography session is before your baby reaches 2 weeks old. During this period, your baby is still mostly sleepy and can be posed for photos without waking up, allowing for those perfect newborn shots.

How soon should I schedule my newborn photos with an Orange County newborn photographer?

It’s never too early to schedule your session with an Orange County newborn photographer. While we try to accommodate last-minute booking requests, it’s best to schedule your session about a month prior to your due date to ensure availability.

What if my baby comes early or late?

Since the exact arrival time of your baby can’t be predicted, we limit the number of newborn sessions we book each month. This flexibility allows us to reschedule if your little one decides to come earlier or later than expected.

What kind of editing do you do for newborn photography?

All the images you receive are fully edited for exposure adjustments and my artistic styling. I also provide light skin retouching for newborn photos, which includes dry skin and flake removal, skin smoothing, and jaundiced skin correction. The goal is to maintain your baby's natural look while removing temporary imperfections that can be more noticeable in photos.

Can parents and siblings be included in the newborn session?

Absolutely! Family involvement is encouraged, and parents and siblings are welcome to join the newborn session. Capturing the bond between your newborn and family members is a beautiful part of the experience with Captured Forever Photography.

How long does a newborn photography session usually last?

Newborn photography sessions can range anywhere from 1 - 2 hours. Time frames are outlined in the newborn package descriptions above.

Do you provide props and outfits for newborn photos?

Yes, I provide a variety of baskets, swaddles, and blankets for your newborn session. If you have specific items or sentimental props you’d like to include, feel free to bring them along.

What should we bring to the newborn photoshoot?

Bringing extra diapers, wipes, and any necessary feeding supplies is recommended. Additionally, if there are special outfits or props you’d like to use, please bring those as well. Comfort items such as pacifiers or blankets can also help soothe your baby during the session.

How can we prepare our home for an in-home newborn photography session?

For in-home sessions, ensure the room where the photos will be taken is warm and has good natural light. Clear any clutter from the area to create a clean and comfortable space for your baby and family.
