They are indeed (to humans too!) if eaten in large quantities, but rest assured that our sessions are designed to be safe and responsible for all dogs. Most dogs don’t show interest in eating bluebells, but we always keep a close eye on them and encourage owners to do the same.
Additionally:
✔️ We choose locations with natural pathways to minimise trampling and ensure a respectful approach to nature.
✔️ If your dog is lead-trained, we can keep them on a lead and edit it out in post-processing.
✔️ If you have any concerns, let us know, and we’ll work together to make sure your dog is comfortable and safe.Your dog’s well-being is always our top priority!
If you think your dog will try to eat the bluebells, it’s best to avoid this type of session. We offer other sessions, both indoor and outdoor, so we’ll definitely have something for you!
-
Absolutely! These sessions are perfect for dogs, children, and families.
If you have multiple dogs or a larger family group, just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
-
For this special introductory offer, sessions are just £80 (normally £100).
This includes your 2-hour session and a print of your favourite image. Additional prints and digital images will be available for purchase.
-
Scared or reactive dog?
Not a problem! If your dog needs to stay on a lead, we can edit out leads in post-processing for that perfect, free-roaming look.
If your dog doesn’t like other dogs/people very much, we can select a date/time and location when very few people are around.
-
Spring weather can be unpredictable! If we have heavy rain or extreme conditions, we’ll reschedule your session to the next available suitable date. Overcast days, however, are actually perfect for soft, dreamy lighting!
-
Our bluebell sessions will be held in a local field or woodland in Greater Manchester - probably around the Heywood/Middleton.
The exact location will be shared after booking, closer to the session date.
-
There are only 10 spots available. These sessions will run throughout April and May.
Since bluebells are seasonal, dates may be subject to slight adjustments depending on blooming times.
-
Each session lasts 2 hours, giving us plenty of time to explore different spots and capture a variety of beautiful shots.
-
Whatever you feel comfortable wearing!
For a timeless and natural look, we recommend soft, neutral, or pastel colours that complement the surroundings.
It might be best to avoid bold patterns or bright neon colours, as they can distract from the bluebells.
NOTE: We’ll be outdoors in a field or woodland and the ground could be a little muddy. It’s best to wear suitable footwear accordingly, such as wellies or nice walking shoes.
For dogs, unless you want to make it a feature, it’s best to avoid harnesses and thick collars, if you want a more natural look in the images.
-
Yes! Your session includes a professionally printed image of your choice, and you’ll have the option to purchase additional prints and digitals as always.
-
Bookings open March 1st and close April 1st. With only 10 spots available, early booking is highly recommended! Secure your session by contacting us at admin@rawphotographymanchester.com
Happy Easter! 🐣
Happy Easter from us at RAW Photography Manchester!
As the world bursts into bloom and the days grow warmer, we want to take a moment to wish you all a lovely Easter! We hope this season brings you inspiration and renewal.
Meet… Miss BunnyPenny! 🐰
Meet our newest recruit, Miss BunnyPenny
As some of you may already know, our little legend Rabbit De Niro sadly crossed the rainbow bridge back in January. He had suffered from CNS-related issues for a while and had a final stroke he didn’t recover from. We tried everything, from getting him his own little wheelchair to spending hours doing hydrotherapy exercises, but our little buddy didn’t make it. R.I.P big boy.
A few months on, De Niro having left a big rabbit-shaped hole in our hearts, we decided to adopt another big-footed rescue. Meet the lovely Miss BunnyPenny! Just as bonkers as Rabby was, she’s already a fully-fledged member of the team and our very own leporine top model 📸

🎥 Behind the Scenes: This Year’s Easter Surprise!
In our latest behind-the-scenes video, we’re giving you an exclusive look at how we brought our adorable Easter shots to life. From setting up the perfect spring-inspired backdrop to working with our gorgeous (and sometimes unpredictable!) model, you’ll see the fun, creativity, and challenges that went into capturing these images.
One of the biggest highlights? Keeping our tiny subject engaged and happy in front of the camera. You’ll see us using gentle lighting, playful (and some chewable) props, and a whole lot of patience to create the final image. And, of course, there were plenty of hilarious outtakes along the way!

And the bloopers! 😅 (from our second setup with a human involved because let’s face it: rabbits alone just don’t do bloopers. They always look cool.)
Happy Easter! 🐣
