The Perfect Gift

The first two weeks are a magical window - babies are sleepier and still love to curl up, just like they did in the womb. That’s why we recommend scheduling your session before your baby is 14 days old. We can get you booked in before baby is here for around their due date.

If you've pre-booked your session around your due date and your baby arrives early, just let us know as soon as you can - we’ll adjust your booking accordingly. If baby is running a little late, no problem! Just give us a call and we’ll happily reschedule your session.

For your baby’s photoshoot, please dress them in a short-sleeved white vest. This makes it easier for us to swaddle them without causing too much disturbance. Feel free to bring along any special outfits you'd like included in the session.

For parents and siblings, we recommend wearing neutral tones to keep the focus on your baby. A changing room is available on-site, so feel free to bring a few outfit options if you'd like to switch things up.

While we’ll of course focus on capturing beautiful, timeless portraits of your baby on their own, this is also a special opportunity to celebrate your growing family.

Whether it’s tender moments with parents, sweet cuddles from siblings, or even multi-generational portraits, these early days are a perfect time to document the unique bonds and love that surround your newborn.

Your session includes up to two hours in the studio, giving us plenty of time to ensure your baby is calm, comfortable, and well cared for.

This relaxed pace allows time for feeding, changing, and settling your little one as needed - so there’s no rush, and we can capture those precious moments at your baby’s own rhythm.

There’s no need to worry if your baby is fussy or unsettled on the day of the shoot - this is completely normal, and we’re fully prepared for it.

Our photographers are highly experienced in working with newborns and know all the gentle tricks to help soothe and settle your baby. We always allow plenty of time for feeds, cuddles, and breaks as needed, so your little one can feel as relaxed as possible.

Even if your baby is more alert during the session, we’ll still capture a beautiful gallery of images - awake or asleep, every moment is special and worth remembering.

Our photographers are expertly trained in newborn safety and posing, so you and your baby will be in the safest and most caring hands.

With years of experience working with newborns, they understand how important it is to ensure both baby and parents feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire session.

We provide a beautiful selection of props, including swaddling blankets, baskets, and headbands, to enhance your photoshoot experience.

We also encourage you to bring any personal items you'd like to include- this helps make your images truly unique and special to your family.

Be sure to bring your usual nappy bag with all your everyday essentials- nappies, wipes, bottles, dummies, and anything else your baby might need.

In addition to that, feel free to bring along any special items you’d love to include in the photos. This could be a favourite outfit, a personalised blanket, a name sign, or a meaningful toy. These little touches help make your session even more personal and unique to your family.

Your session will take place in our professional portrait studio in Leicester.

After your portrait session, you’ll be invited back for a dedicated viewing and ordering appointment at a later date.

This is when you’ll see your beautifully captured images for the first time and choose your favourites to order.

Once your selections are made, we allow 4–6 weeks for your final images and products to be expertly edited, finished, and prepared for collection.

Our gift vouchers are beautifully presented in a stylish ZigZag gift box, making them ready to give to someone special - perfect for baby showers, new parents, or anyone welcoming a little one.

Your voucher also includes the option to add a maternity photoshoot - an ideal way to celebrate this incredible chapter of your life.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to capture the beauty of your pregnancy, get comfortable in the studio, and meet our photographers before your newborn session.
