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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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!!
