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.
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.
What can I say…the images are stunning. Rachel was amazing with the kids, giving them gentle direction to be able to get the best shots. I’m blown away by the quality of the pictures and I can’t wait to come back and document more growing up of the kids.
Amazing photographer with great style and an eye for a great shot.
Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you
