Specialist maternity photoshoots in Heywood and Greater Manchester. RAW Photography Manchester captures confident, natural bump portraits—studio or outdoor—with warm, relaxed guidance for expecting parents.
RAW Photography Manchester are specialists in maternity photography based in Heywood, serving Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. We believe pregnancy is one of life’s most luminous chapters, and our aim is to turn those fleeting moments into images you’ll smile at every. single. day. Whether you want fine‑art, natural light, or contemporary portraits, we focus on flattering, honest photographs that celebrate your body, your story, and the new life on the way. Our approach is calm, personal and collaborative. Before your shoot we talk through your ideas, style and comfort zones so the session feels tailored to you. We offer both studio and outdoor options and have a small selection of maternity fabrics and dresses to help create that flowing, timeless look—if there’s something particular you’d like, we’ll discuss options and plan around it. Partners, children and well‑behaved pets are welcome: we love capturing the small moments of connection that make family portraits so meaningful. You’ll notice two strengths in our work: thoughtful direction and gentle patience. Callum’s background working with actors and people of all ages means he’s excellent at giving useful, confidence‑building direction so you feel and look natural in front of the camera. We take our time, prioritise comfort and composition, and look for those authentic expressions that tell your story. Attention to detail continues after the session. Our editing is subtle and considered—your images are refined to highlight mood and emotion while remaining true to you. We help you choose prints or wall art to make sure your favourite images become long‑lasting pieces that sit proudly in your home. Choosing RAW Photography Manchester means working with a small, friendly team who place quality and personality at the heart of every maternity photoshoot. If you’d like a relaxed, professional experience that celebrates this special time, get in touch — we’ll listen, plan and create memorable images together.
