Within a few minutes drive from the studio, the woodland areas I use to capture beautiful natural and posed images surrounded by green and golden leaves are often deserted, providing a fun and safe space in nature for your mini shoot.

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’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!

Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you

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.
