Within a few minutes drive from the studio, the woodland areas I use to capture beautiful natural and posed images surrounded by green and golden leaves are often deserted, providing a fun and safe space in nature for your mini shoot.

So so pleased with the beautiful pics Rachel has captured for us! We had a non-compliant 2 year old on the day and we still came away with beautiful pics. Rachel put us at ease and I’d definitely recommend her if you’re thinking of booking a photo session.

We had a shoot with our two boys. My youngest didn’t want to play ball, however Rachel was lovely; she let us take as much time as we needed and the photos are AMAZING!!! I won’t be going anywhere else for photos.

I have had multiple shoots for my little boy and Rachel has been excellent for each one. I love her style of photography and how she manages to catch the lovely special looks. I have recommended Rachel to all my friends and will look forward to more shoots in the future.
