For you who Believe in the Magic of Life

Family Photographer in California

Whether it's a quiet snuggle, a burst of giggles, or sandy toes at the beach, I want your session to feel natural, relaxed, and true to who you are.

Based in Orange county, i specialize in playful yet classic portraits that feel just like your family.

That's why I create timeless family photography that captures the laughter, cuddles, and little details you'll want to hold onto forever. These photos aren't just for today, they're meant to bring you back to this season of life years from now.

Times go a bit too fast when they are little...

I''m Jacqueline, a family photographer with a heart for capturing the fleeting seasons of childhood and the connections that meant the most. I believe the best photos aren't about perfect poses, but about the laughter, snuggles, and little in-between moments that tell your family's story.

My approach is relaxed and playful, so you can focus on being present while I capture the beauty of it all, the way your toddler grabs your hand, the way your kids throw their arms around you, or the way your family looks together in this chapter of life. These are the images you'll look back on years from now and feel the love all over again.

Photos with memories that will last even after the children have left the nest

My promise to you

Who enjoy the silence for 5 min and then go and look at their children sleeping because they miss them.

Who already now are planning for when their grandchildren will come and visit.

Who knows how to fold and pack a stroller in the car in under 30 seconds!

Jacqueline has been doing our pictures for years! Every experience with her is better than the last. The quality of the photos are beyond my expectations! She's warm hearted and always goes above and beyond!

These pictures means everything!

Jacqueline Kay photography is amazing! I have used her for many different occasions. Family, baby, and individual photo shoots. I am always so happy with how they turn out. I love the way she captures natural light in her photos and it always looks amazing! She is really good with kids and the chaos that they can bring to a photo shoot. She is patient with them and finds ways to capture beautiful pictures of them and out family. I have been nothing less than impressed by everything she sends me from our photo shoots. I can't recommend her enough!

It's everything I wished for!

We loved working with Jacquie! She was so warm and made us all so comfortable taking our newborn pictures. She also gave us a ton of time to get all of the shots we wanted. We definitely want to use her for any other family photos in the future. 

A memory that will last!
