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.

We had an amazing cake smash and bath photo shoot for our baby girl’s first birthday - I can’t recommend Rachel enough - she made us all feel welcome and we had such a lovely time, the little home studio is lovely and the images we received just days later were all incredible. Thanks so much!

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.

Gorgeous photos again! Aged 9 months, 2, 6 and 8 years and Rachel got them all to cooperate and we got some amazing photos. Have used Rachel many times before and will continue to do so
