We recently booked Rachel for our little girls 1st birthday cake smash and bath and it was such a great experience. Rachel was really informative on what to expect and the day went fantastic. We've just received the photos today in a timely manner and they are so amazing. Can't wait to find an excuse to book with you again!
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!
So in love with these photos. Rachel is so lovely too which made the experience of having them done ever better. Would highly recommend! ( My parents cried lots when they saw them 😂 ) thanks again!!
What an amazing experience from start to finish! 😃 we have just received our photos back from our little boys first birthday cake smash and they are absolutely amazing! Rachel managed to capture every part of Theodore’s personality - cheeky, happy and cute! The entire process - from booking to receiving our final photos - has been seamless. Rachel had a fantastic selection of backdrops to choose from and had our photos back to us within a matter of days. 5 ⭐️ customer service! We felt so welcome at the cake smash, and Rachel was fantastic with Theodore, letting him explore and get comfortable before making him laugh and giggle non stop! Thank you so much - would 100% recommend The Whitley Captures to anyone looking for beautiful family photos.
Rachel was fabulous with our 2 children. Very personable, and professional and took her time, particularly when our 3 yr old didn’t play ball initially. Her patience helped our daughter come out of her shell and participate in the shoot. Thank you so much Rachel, we highly recommend your photo shoots and absolutely love the pictures of our family.
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.
