Natural photo shoots, where your most important people are my most important people too. Based in Durham, covering the North East.

A posed photo shoot perfect for babies from newborn to sitting, and include sibling and family captures too!

Whether you have a location in mind, or need some inspiration, outdoor shoots are lots of fun in the glorious British weather!

Cake smashes are suitable for up to age 4, and include a custom design to suit your preferences, and the cake to take home to finish off. Additional bath splashes are available as an add-on.

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.
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 😊
Visited twice now and over the moon with all photographs we have received. Lovely lady, welcoming atmosphere and amazing quality photographs. We wouldn’t use anyone else now.
Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you
Couldn't recommend The Whitley Captures more- friendly and really accommodating but above all, a fantastic photographer at an excellent price.
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.
