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 😊
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!
Highly recommend! Rachel was great with my 1 month old and had the patience of a saint. Photos are absolutely beautiful 🩵
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.
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.
