For you who Believe in the Magic of Life

family photographer
My approach is simple: create space for real connection, so your photos feel like you, not stiff or overly posed. Whether it’s a quiet snuggle at home, a burst of giggles, or sandy toes at the beach, I want your session to feel easy and comfortable from start to finish. The goal is for you to walk away not just with beautiful images, but with memories of a session that felt genuine and fun.
Based in Orange County, I specialize in family photography that feels effortless, natural, and true to your story.
When your kids are little, time has a way of moving just a bit too fast. That’s why I create timeless family photography focused on connection, the cuddles, the giggles, and the small details you’ll want to remember forever. These images aren’t just for today; they’re meant to bring you right back to this season of life, even years from now.
I’m an Orange County family photographer who captures the laughter, snuggles, and real, in-between moments that make up your everyday life.
I''m Jacqueline, your Orange County 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.

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!
A milestone worth celebrating with portraits that show off their spirit and style.
