Rachel was amazing at accommodating us at short notice to make sure we didn’t miss out on those precious newborn photos. Rachel took time to settle our baby with white noise, a nice warm room and being patient and feeding the baby. Our photos were so beautiful and we will treasure them forever.

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.

We had an amazing cake smash and bath photo shoot for our baby girl’s first birthday - I can’t recommend Rachel enough - she made us all feel welcome and we had such a lovely time, the little home studio is lovely and the images we received just days later were all incredible. Thanks so much!
