Soulful, nostalgic photography for the moments that matter quietly
Family Lifestyle
and
Small wedding photographer
Serving Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Auburn, Placerville, Foresthill, Tahoe, and the surrounding Sierra Nevada communities and beyond.
I capture the laughter, quiet glances, and genuine connection that make your story uniquely yours. With gentle guidance and a calm presence, I help your session or day flow naturally, preserving the moments that matter most—so you can be fully present and truly seen.
I started this work because I know how meaningful memory is. Photographs have been my pillar stones and reflection—reminders of love, connection, and the simple beauty in everyday moments.
Investing in your photographer is investing in your story—soulful, timeless, and entirely yours. I’m here to preserve the moments you’ll want to feel again and again.
What You Can Expect & Why It Matters
My Soundtrack
A playlist that sets the mood for every session — from weddings to family moments to couples’ sessions. Soft folky melodies, cinematic instrumentals, and gentle, inspirational tunes to inspire love, laughter, and timeless memories.
“My two kids are my biggest inspiration. They’re the ones who pull me back to what’s real whenever I start chasing “perfect.” Through them, I’ve learned that the best moments aren’t staged — they’re lived. And that’s how I approach every story I photograph: raw, nostalgic, and true to life.”
“I can’t express my gratitude for Kelsy, enough! She flew all the way to a small little mountain town in Idaho to help capture our micro wedding, and she was incredible! Our vision became a dream with her help. So friendly, incredibly kind, and made me feel like I have known her for a long time! blotting my happy tears away so my makeup didn’t mess up, capturing the most candid yet stunning moments of the day, and being adventurous with us. She’s the one you want by your side to help capture those special moments in life!” — Kirsten
“I’d highly recommend Kelsy to anyone looking for a photographer that will showcase your family in their natural light! Thanks Kelsy”
— Jesse
“After working with Kelsey, I totally get the value of capturing these moments as a family. Highly recommend her to any mama or couple looking to freeze time a little with beautiful, joy-filled photos.” — Taylar
