Rachel was fabulous with our 2 children. Very personable, and professional and took her time, particularly when our 3 yr old didn’t play ball initially. Her patience helped our daughter come out of her shell and participate in the shoot. Thank you so much Rachel, we highly recommend your photo shoots and absolutely love the pictures of our family.
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.
I was a bit nervous about trying to get my two girls to sit/stand/smile but Rachel was so patient and made the shoot fun which the girls loved. The photos have come out better than I could have imagined and couldn’t recommend Rachel enough. Love love love them.
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.
Rachel is absolutely amazing and is so lovely and patient with the kids! The photos we received were fantastic and I couldn’t have been happier with them. We have rebooked with Rachel for a Christmas and a 1st birthday shoot !
We are so so happy with our little girl’s newborn photoshoot photos! Beautiful memories for us to keep and treasure forever we really couldn't ask for anything more 😍 will definitely return in the future 😊
