—F. Scott Fitzgerald
Family and children are our world. Sometimes we have so little time to step back and pause for a moment to appreciate the wondrous little people in our lives, as before we know it they are all grown up!
Captured With Light's children's portrait photography shoots are tailored to your requirements and the personality of your child; because no two are the same.
If your child loves climbing trees and jumping in puddles that's great! Lets pick a woodland location for the portrait shoot where they can be themselves. Or if your child prefers dressing up and pretending to be a favourite pop star then the photography shoot can include chances to change outfits and capture their desire to perform.
These portrait sessions are about bringing out the personality of YOUR child through breathtaking images that you will treasure forever.
Portrait sessions are designed to be relaxed so as to best capture your child's character with emphasis placed on creating the very best possible images with minimum fuss.
Authenticity is at the heart of Captured With Light Photography. The images created are not contrived; they are moments in time that have unfolded naturally that capture the character and personality of the child in front of the lens.
Rachel specialises in using natural light where possible to obtain beautiful and timeless photographic artwork of you and your family that you can enjoy looking at every day for years to come.
Rachel allows longer slots for newborns or for children with additional needs to allow for feeding and settling so as not to put pressure on parent and child.

Children's portrait sessions are run so as to be relaxed so that the kids can do what they do best - be themselves! A stress free environment will help to relax your child who can then bring more of their natural character and personality to the session. Children generally feel more themselves in familiar surroundings, or in an open space outside. Each session is tailor made and can combine bespoke portraits in your own home through to a scenic shoot on location.
Themed sessions are available throughout the year; such as spooky Halloween shoots, Christmas card shoots, Spring time Easter bunny shoots, Lavender field shoots, Mothers day, Fathers day, and much more. Rachel can tailor a themed shoot depending on your requirements. Mini sessions are also available throughout the year at pre-arranged beautiful outdoor locations in and around Tunbridge Wells to keep your family album up to date all year round.
Rachel provides professional head shots to other creatives such as designers, influencers, business owners and speakers to capture new professional content for you. And if you run a business in the area of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, Sussex, London or beyond, Rachel provides photographic services including promotional imagery taken for all your corporate marketing needs such as websites, brochures, leaflets, business cards and social media. Please get in touch for more details.

"Rachel Hayes joined our family on the SPA railway for a stream train ride. Our boys are train bonkers so it was a great setting for a tailor made photo shoot. Rachel is professional, friendly and had a natural rapport with the kids. She captured some beautiful moments and their personalities perfectly. We absolutely love the images Rachel has taken and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family photo session. We will be back for more photos with Rachel for sure!"

"Rachel did a shoot at a National Trust location with my two children. Being a keen snapper on my iPhone, I have a lot of photographs of the children already, but I was blown away by the quality of the photos that came back, and the expressions she captured. I have already ordered some prints to frame - highly recommended!"

"I wanted to capture some images of our two girls who are both under three years old. As they are so young I didn't want to take them outdoors on a cold, wet day so we did the shoot in our new home. Rachel allowed extra time for feeding and settling them down when needed and we set up various images all over the house to make best use of the light and used their favourite toys to provide a great selection of images that Daddy will love seeing on Christmas day!"
