We were recommended by a friend to contact The Whitley Captures. Our visit was brilliant, a relaxed atmosphere and very accommodating for our boisterous boy. Very highly recommend!
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.
got my sons cake smash photo shoot and absolutely love every single photo so friendly will definitely be recommending and 100% would be back again thanks so much x
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.
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.
We took our little girl for a newborn shoot and Rachel was brilliant! So patient and lovely with our baby. The shoot was tailored well to what we wanted, some lovely poses, and we didn't feel hurried - the little one was happy throughout.
