Gorgeous photos again! Aged 9 months, 2, 6 and 8 years and Rachel got them all to cooperate and we got some amazing photos. Have used Rachel many times before and will continue to do so
Rachel was recommended by a friend and so glad we contacted her! Amazing newborn and mini shoot for my daughters. The atmosphere was very calm and she is very professional. Rachel made everyone feel comfortable on the day of the shoot. She delivers in a timely manner and love love her style of photography. We were back second time for my husband’s mini shoot but i’m 100% sure we will be back for more sessions x highly recommended. thank you Rachel
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!
Our response when receiving our little girls cake smash an bath photos: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These have made me cry!! She looks absolutely gorgeous (and very cheeky) you have totally captured her personality. I absolutely love everything and the background and what you have done with them is absolutely incredible. Thank you
Highly recommend Rachel. From the initial enquiry of booking a cake smash photo shoot she was very helpful even with my numerous questions. She went out of her way to make sure everything was as perfect as could be. Email updates and choices to choose from were fab. The actual photo shoot was brilliant and Rachel must have the patients of a Saint haha as my little tinker just wanted to play with the balloon. We've just got our final photos back and we are over the moon with them, thank you
Amazing photographer with great style and an eye for a great shot.
