Within a few minutes drive from the studio, the woodland areas I use to capture beautiful natural and posed images surrounded by green and golden leaves are often deserted, providing a fun and safe space in nature for your mini shoot.

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!

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.

Amazing service & photos from Rachel. We are over the moon with our photos of our 8 week old and our family shoot. Rachel was very welcoming and was great with our baby too. The photos are such good quality and captured him at his best. I couldn’t recommend Rachel enough, we will be back x
