Highly recommend! Rachel was great with my 1 month old and had the patience of a saint. Photos are absolutely beautiful 🩵
What can I say…the images are stunning. Rachel was amazing with the kids, giving them gentle direction to be able to get the best shots. I’m blown away by the quality of the pictures and I can’t wait to come back and document more growing up of the kids.
So so pleased with the beautiful pics Rachel has captured for us! We had a non-compliant 2 year old on the day and we still came away with beautiful pics. Rachel put us at ease and I’d definitely recommend her if you’re thinking of booking a photo session.
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 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!
Rachel has taken 2 sets of photos for us which we have been blown away by. Rachel is absolutely amazing, making us all feel at ease and managing to capture magical moments of our little boy.
