The wildflowers are located a 5 minute walk from the studio and are usually in bloom July and into August. The views stretch for miles and the paths through the purple and green flowers are perfect for running around.

A big favourite, the bluebells are simply breathtaking. In a wooded area in central Durham, I capture beautiful moments along winding paths lined with bluebells of you and your family. Pets welcome.

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.

Usually at either Seahm or Crimdon, beach shoots are a both beautiful and fun. Captures moments of pebble throwing, castle building and even paddling (if you're brave enough in the cold water!). Pets welcome.

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.

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.
