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.
Rachel was very welcoming when we arrived, she was very patient and amazing with Miles! She made us feel comfortable and was very hands on with everything. She did amazing and the results of the photos are fabulous!! Thank you again Rachel, I appreciate it ❤️
We have had a number of photoshoots now with Rachel including Christmas, wildflowers and Easter ones. In each session she has so wonderfully managed to capture our little boy. Whether this be throwing fake snowballs with him or running around the wildflowers she has managed to make taking photos of an energetic little boy looks easy & natural. Rachel's photos are such lovely keepsakes & we know we will be going for more photoshoots in the future!
Rachel is absolutely amazing and is so lovely and patient with the kids! The photos we received were fantastic and I couldn’t have been happier with them. We have rebooked with Rachel for a Christmas and a 1st birthday 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!
Fantastic photographer, highly recommended. We had a newborn shoot; Rachel was fantastic and very patient with my little boy and even got my daughter involved in the pictures who is a big Harry Potter fan and tailored the pictures to include this. Photos turned out amazing and were fairly priced, would definitely come here again.
