got my sons cake smash photo shoot and absolutely love every single photo so friendly will definitely be recommending and 100% would be back again thanks so much x
Amazing service & photos from Rachel. We are over the moon with our photos of our 8 week old and our family shoot. Rachel was very welcoming and was great with our baby too. The photos are such good quality and captured him at his best. I couldn’t recommend Rachel enough, we will be back x
Rachel is absolutely amazing and is so lovely and patient with the kids! The photos we received were fantastic and I couldn’t have been happier with them. We have rebooked with Rachel for a Christmas and a 1st birthday shoot !
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! ☺️
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.
We have had a family shoot and a mini Christmas shoot done, amazing! Don't think ill go anywhere else now, with a 3 year old and a baby I was so anxious about trying to get photos done, Rachel put us straight at ease, nothing was a bother or inconvenient! and she was brilliant with both kids! It's clear that this is not just a business but a true passion, couldn't recommend them enough!
Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you
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!
Couldn't recommend The Whitley Captures more- friendly and really accommodating but above all, a fantastic photographer at an excellent price.
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!
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 took our little girl for a newborn shoot and Rachel was brilliant! So patient and lovely with our baby. The shoot was tailored well to what we wanted, some lovely poses, and we didn't feel hurried - the little one was happy throughout.
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.
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 😊
Had a newborn shoot for our little boy recently and would highly recommend. Rachel was fantastic with him and the photos are amazing.
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.
So so pleased with the beautiful pics Rachel has captured for us! We had a non-compliant 2 year old on the day and we still came away with beautiful pics. Rachel put us at ease and I’d definitely recommend her if you’re thinking of booking a photo session.
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.
I’m in love with all the pictures! Very professional couldn’t recommend enough!
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.
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!
I absolutely adore every image I got from my little one’s Christmas shoot! I love them that much I immediately booked up for a cake smash for his birthday!
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!!
We had a shoot with our two boys. My youngest didn’t want to play ball, however Rachel was lovely; she let us take as much time as we needed and the photos are AMAZING!!! I won’t be going anywhere else for photos.
We were recommended by a friend to contact The Whitley Captures. Our visit was brilliant, a relaxed atmosphere and very accommodating for our boisterous boy. Very highly recommend!
I was a bit nervous about trying to get my two girls to sit/stand/smile but Rachel was so patient and made the shoot fun which the girls loved. The photos have come out better than I could have imagined and couldn’t recommend Rachel enough. Love love love them.
What can I say…the images are stunning. Rachel was amazing with the kids, giving them gentle direction to be able to get the best shots. I’m blown away by the quality of the pictures and I can’t wait to come back and document more growing up of the kids.
Visited twice now and over the moon with all photographs we have received. Lovely lady, welcoming atmosphere and amazing quality photographs. We wouldn’t use anyone else now.
Thank you so much for our amazing photos; they are perfect for our two little girls. Highly recommend and can not wait to see you again in the future. Very professional and photos are outstanding.
Amazing photographer with great style and an eye for a great shot.
