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
Rachel was recommended by a friend and so glad we contacted her! Amazing newborn and mini shoot for my daughters. The atmosphere was very calm and she is very professional. Rachel made everyone feel comfortable on the day of the shoot. She delivers in a timely manner and love love her style of photography. We were back second time for my husband’s mini shoot but i’m 100% sure we will be back for more sessions x highly recommended. thank you Rachel
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! ☺️
Had a cake smash and bath photo shoot for our little boy’s first birthday and the pictures are brilliant. Rachel makes you feel really welcome and the studio is excellent for children. Nursery songs playing and really interactive with the child to keep them entertained and get those photos full of smiles. Couldn’t recommend enough will definitely be returning in the future.
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 🤍
Highly recommended! !! We booked a newborn photoshoot session and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The booking process through the website was straightforward and professional. Rachel was amazing — incredibly gentle, calm, and patient with our newborn. She handled him so naturally, soothing him whenever he cried and making the whole session feel relaxed and stress-free. We were a bit worried beforehand that our baby wouldn’t cooperate, but Rachel’s skill and calm approach made everything feel effortless, and the three hours just flew by. The photos are absolutely adorable and truly exceeded our expectations!! We really appreciate the patience and talent that went into capturing these special moments — they’re something we’ll treasure forever!
