We have had a family shoot and a mini Christmas shoot done, amazing! Don't think ill go anywhere else now, with a 3 year old and a baby I was so anxious about trying to get photos done, Rachel put us straight at ease, nothing was a bother or inconvenient! and she was brilliant with both kids! It's clear that this is not just a business but a true passion, couldn't recommend them enough!
Had a cake smash and bath photo shoot for our little boy’s first birthday and the pictures are brilliant. Rachel makes you feel really welcome and the studio is excellent for children. Nursery songs playing and really interactive with the child to keep them entertained and get those photos full of smiles. Couldn’t recommend enough will definitely be returning in the future.
I’m in love with all the pictures! Very professional couldn’t recommend enough!
I absolutely adore every image I got from my little one’s Christmas shoot! I love them that much I immediately booked up for a cake smash for his birthday!
Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you
What an amazing experience from start to finish! 😃 we have just received our photos back from our little boys first birthday cake smash and they are absolutely amazing! Rachel managed to capture every part of Theodore’s personality - cheeky, happy and cute! The entire process - from booking to receiving our final photos - has been seamless. Rachel had a fantastic selection of backdrops to choose from and had our photos back to us within a matter of days. 5 ⭐️ customer service! We felt so welcome at the cake smash, and Rachel was fantastic with Theodore, letting him explore and get comfortable before making him laugh and giggle non stop! Thank you so much - would 100% recommend The Whitley Captures to anyone looking for beautiful family photos.
