November Recap

Autumn Sessions

November at RAW Photography Manchester was all about celebrating the magic of autumn with our woodland sessions—our absolute favourite time of year to capture dogs at their happiest. There’s something special about the rich golden hues of the leaves, the crisp, earthy scent of the forest, and the delightful crunch underfoot as pups jump into piles of leaves or eagerly chase after elusive squirrels.

We were thrilled by the incredible interest in these sessions, and thanks to the mostly “OK” weather, we had the opportunity to photograph many wonderful dogs in their element. Here are just a few of our favourite moments from this November’s autumn adventures!

Xmas Taster Sessions

On November 3rd, we kicked off the festive season early with our fully booked Christmas taster sessions at Precious Paws in Middleton, and what a day it was! We had the pleasure of photographing dogs of all shapes, sizes, and walkies of life! From the most chilled pups to the utterly bonkers 😝.

The festive spirit was in full swing as we created stunning prints and personalized Christmas greeting cards, ensuring everything was delivered in plenty of time for the big day.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who trusted us to capture their furry friends’ holiday magic, and a special shoutout to Keith at Precious Paws for allowing us to use his doggy daycare venue 🤗

Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏

As we wrap up this month’s post, we want to take a moment to say a huge *thank you* to each and every one of you for taking the time to read this blog and follow along on our journey.

To everyone who has trusted us to capture their most precious memories—whether it’s their pets, their little ones, their families, or all of the above—we are so grateful for being part of your story.

A heartfelt thanks also goes to our family and close friends for their unwavering support, cheering us on every step of the way.

And finally, to my partner in life and work, Callum—you’re the rock behind the lens, the master of light-holding, and the saint who endures my endless nagging with patience and love. Thank you for everything you do!
