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 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!

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 !

Beautiful festive photos despite my littlest being very grumpy and disliking people on the whole! Very happy 🎅🏻 🎄 thank you

Amazing from start to finish! Answered all my queries in a timely manner, fantastic with the kids - 3 under 5’s is not easy but she was incredibly patient with them and made them giggle and smile throughout. The photos are beautiful and compared to so many photographers, she is actually affordable! Thank you so much and I will definitely be back again one day!

We recently booked Rachel for our little girls 1st birthday cake smash and bath and it was such a great experience. Rachel was really informative on what to expect and the day went fantastic. We've just received the photos today in a timely manner and they are so amazing. Can't wait to find an excuse to book with you again!
