Can’t recommend Rachel enough, we’ve had a few mini shoots now and love the results.
Rachel deserves a medal for managing to get the photos she did of our family for Christmas - she made everyone feel so comfortable and then the props she had helped the boys have some fun really naturally. My family all want copies and it was such amazing value. Thank you and we will definitely be back to capture more memories in the future.
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!
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.
We have had a family shoot and a mini Christmas shoot done, amazing! Don't think ill go anywhere else now, with a 3 year old and a baby I was so anxious about trying to get photos done, Rachel put us straight at ease, nothing was a bother or inconvenient! and she was brilliant with both kids! It's clear that this is not just a business but a true passion, couldn't recommend them enough!
Had our little girls 1st cake smash photoshoot today & everything was perfect, the room was already set up when we arrived, all we had to do was get our little girl changed, Rachel had kids nursery rhyme music playing & was so lovely to our daughter doing all sorts of funny noises to make her smile & laugh for the photos. We only had the smash this afternoon so haven’t seen the final photos yet but Rachel showed us a few on the camera & they looked great, we can’t wait to see the final edits! Also the cake was delicious, we brought what was left of it home & ended up having it for tea 🤣 thank you so much Rachel, we will certainly be back! We had a newborn photoshoot with someone else & got charged an absolute fortune for 3 photos that we didn’t even get to choose, I wish we found Rachel sooner she was amazing! You certainly won’t be disappointed if you book a photoshoot! ☺️
