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 fianc 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 fiance 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.
