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.
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
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! ☺️
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.
Rachel is so patient and understanding with our little one each time she meet him. I would highly recommend The Whitley Captures to all of my family and friends! Thank you so much Rachel, you are a gem!
We are so so happy with our little girl’s newborn photoshoot photos! Beautiful memories for us to keep and treasure forever we really couldn't ask for anything more 😍 will definitely return in the future 😊
