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!
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.
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! ☺️
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 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!
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
