Highly recommend Rachel. From the initial enquiry of booking a cake smash photo shoot she was very helpful even with my numerous questions.She went out of her way to make sure everything was as perfect as could be.Email updates and choices to choose from were fab.The actual photo Shoot was brilliant and Rachel must have the patients of a Saint haha as my little tinker just wanted to play with the balloon.We've just got our final photos back and we are over the moon with them thank you 😊
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’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 🤍
I absolutely adore every image I got from my little one’s Christmas shoot! I love them that much I immediately booked up for a cake smash for his birthday!
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.
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!
