I am so happy that we decided to call Captured forever photography. Kelsey was so sweet and gave us so many options to choose from. Whatever combination we wanted and then her own creative shots. The photos we got back were such great quality and color. I had them printed on large canvases and they look amazing. So many options it was hard to decide.

For great, high quality photos I highly recommend Captured Forever Photography. Kelsey was amazing from start to finish in her communication and promise of delivery. She helped navigate when and where would be the best location to have photos. When the photos were delivered they looked amazing. When taking the photos she was really patient with my toddle and made her laugh to get the best photos of her. Thank you once again. I will definitely be using her in the future ☺️

Kelsey is the best! My fiancé and I weren't sure if we wanted engagement photos and I'm so glad we changed our minds and chose Kelsey to take them! She is so professional and really cares about getting the best pictures possible for her clients. She is also so kind and even put my purse in her backpack so nobody could snatch it while we took pictures! She's so good at what she does, and so passionate about photography and you can really see that in her work. We felt so comfortable with her and we are forever grateful for her capturing a huge milestone in our lives! BOOK WITH KELSEY

I actually don't want to write this review because we want to keep Kelsey as our own photographer :) and we know her quality work and professional approach will make her a sought after photographer who will grow from booking weeks in advance to months to years in advance she is that good. I have a eagle eye and have tried many photographers. My biggest complement is that 99% of the photos were all excellent compared to my history with photographers that its closer to 50% of total photos are usable. She took the lead and I didn't have to worry about anything. She has an amazing eye and

Kelsey was amazing! I booked a proposal photoshoot at Laguna 2 weeks prior but she was still very ready for the day. She helped me pick a spot, set up a little station, and made me and my now fiancée very comfortable during the whole hour. The price was also very reasonable given day, time, location and quality. Her pictures were perfect and all of my friends and family are wondering how I found her. Will definitely contact her if I'm back in the area and am in need of a photoshoot.

I would highly recommend Captured Forever Photography! Kelsey is such a good hearted person, who has a special talent as a photographer. She was easy to work with and always very responsive when we had questions. For the photo shoot, we knew we wanted beach photos but weren’t quite sure what beach we wanted to do them at. Kelsey had a great recommendation and the photos came out wonderful. She was easy to work with, and was fantastic with kids.
This photo shoot was a Mother’s Day gift for my wife and I researched the area tirelessly for a photographer. Don’t get me wrong, there are many

We are so thankful for Captured Forever being there to photograph our wedding day! Kelsey and Michele are experts and true professionals. They know exactly how to pose everyone and take advantage of the best lighting to get perfect pictures. They're also so great at making everyone feel comfortable. I hope everyone gets the same wedding photography experience we did, so I cannot recommend Captured Forever enough!

She is really good at what she does, I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

Captured Forever Photography couldn't have been a better choice for me and my husband. I contacted Kelsey a few weeks prior to our courthouse wedding ceremony. She was responsive, very friendly, reasonably priced, and professional. We actually contacted Kelsey less than a week away to switch the date for our photo session due to weather and she was very accommodating. We asked if we could shoot in two locations--the courthouse and a nearby Botanical garden. A couple of days prior to the shoot, she reached out to let me know she had scoped out both locations to find the best spots to shoot

Kelsey was absolutely wonderful to work with! I contacted her on a whim with fairly short notice to have our engagement photos done. She was more than accommodating and even worked with our schedule when we had to change plans. I truly feel like she captured our personalities through our pictures & when we got our gallery it was everything we could have imagined and more! The photos she took were stunning and we could not be more grateful. She is a joy to work with and I would recommend Captured Forever to anybody and everybody!

Kelsey was so wonderful to work with again! We wanted a beach setting this year and she suggested the most beautiful location and perfect time of day for our family pictures. Kelsey made us feel comfortable and was great with our three boys. She was able to capture some great family photos both posed and also fun spontaneous shots. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with Kelsey once again next year.

Where do I begin? Kelsey is amazing! From the recommendation of location, based on our wants, to the very specific directions of where to meet, she was there early to check things out & was able to text me to warn me of the terrible parking! She was friendly, professional, fun, attentive, knowledgeable & damn good at her job! She asked exactly what we wanted & worked to make it happen, despite the crowds, lol... She accommodated us so easily, the process was effortless & that's coming from someone who doesn't do well with being photographed! Nothing was to much trouble

After spending 15 years behind the lens myself, Kelsey with Captured Forever Photography took my first ever headshots and I cannot be happier with the results. I told her that I was new at being the subject and she made the entire shoot fun and relaxing. Having a photography, I am a tough customer, but when I got my photos back, I was thrilled! I love my photos! I have recommended Kelsey to so many friends because I loved working with her so much. I need to refresh my photos and I will definitely be using Kelsey again!

I was so happy using Captured Photography for our family photos! We needed to find a new photographer this year and had only ever used a family friend to take our photos. I was nervous about finding a photographer who would work well with our family (with young kids) and would capture our images in a flattering way. I was very impressed with all her ideas for poses and with the final photos. I got all the feedback I needed regarding location and outfits and anything else I needed. I'm so glad we found Capture Forever Photography - they are some of my favorite family photos!
