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!
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!
Had a newborn shoot for our little boy recently and would highly recommend. Rachel was fantastic with him and the photos are amazing.
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.
We’ve had our photos taken for almost 2.5 years now with The Whitley Captures and they are always so beautiful. Rachel is amazing with our little girl and always has great ways of making her feel at ease, smile and laugh in the photos ❤️. 5 stars Rachel, you’re amazing!
Rachel deserves a medal for managing to get the photos she did of our family for Christmas - she made everyone feel so comfortable and then the props she had helped the boys have some fun really naturally. My family all want copies and it was such amazing value. Thank you and we will definitely be back to capture more memories in the future.
