I have had multiple shoots for my little boy and Rachel has been excellent for each one. I love her style of photography and how she manages to catch the lovely special looks. I have recommended Rachel to all my friends and will look forward to more shoots in the future.
Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you
Amazing from start to finish! Answered all my queries in a timely manner, fantastic with the kids - 3 under 5’s is not easy but she was incredibly patient with them and made them giggle and smile throughout. The photos are beautiful and compared to so many photographers, she is actually affordable! Thank you so much and I will definitely be back again one day!
We’ve had four photoshoots with Rachel this past year and our little one is only one. If that doesn’t tell you how good she is, I don’t know what will! Rachel is warm, friendly and really knows how to capture your little ones personality. Each and every photo she has taken have became my favourite, and I’m fastly growing out of wall space to hang these. Rachel is super quick and will get your photos back to you as quickly as possible, and will even add the extra sparkle (sparkle on pics for Christmas, glowing lights for birthday shoots). There’s simply no one else I’d choose to get my photos with. Thank you so much Rachel, and no doubt I will see you in in the future 🤍
Fantastic photos. Rachael is amazing from start to finish. I had packet from new born to 1 year old cake smash and each time was great and amazing photos
We were recommended by a friend to contact The Whitley Captures. Our visit was brilliant, a relaxed atmosphere and very accommodating for our boisterous boy. Very highly recommend!
