Puppy Photoshoots

There’s nothing quite like the charm of a puppy - soft fur, sleepy eyes, and those wobbly first steps. At ZigZag Photography we specialise in capturing these fleeting moments through professional puppy photoshoots that are as adorable as they are unforgettable.

What makes our sessions extra special?

Our one-of-a-kind antique scales. We gently weigh your little one while snapping the perfect shot -blending vintage character with puppy cuteness in a way that melts hearts and creates lasting memories.

Whether you're a proud new pet parent, a breeder, or simply someone who wants to document the early days, our cosy studio and gentle approach ensure each pup feels safe, happy, and picture-perfect.

Some frequently asked questions about our puppy photoshoots

  • Our vintage scales weigh up to 20lbs. If your puppy does weigh more than this, we can pop them on the scales if they are happy to go on however it won’t capture their weight. We find younger puppies (like newborn babies) are also happier the younger they are. If you have an older dog, you can still book in for a dog photoshoot!

  • While we'll focus on capturing beautiful, timeless portraits of your puppy, this session is also a chance to celebrate your growing family.

    We’ll be sure to photograph those heartfelt moments between your pup and their humans too - creating memories you’ll cherish for years to come.

  • Absolutely! All members of the family are welcome - including your other dogs. The more, the merrier!

  • We recommend wearing neutral, timeless colours for your photoshoot - think soft tones and classic styles that won’t date over time. After all, these portraits are made to be treasured and displayed on your walls for years to come!

  • You will have up to an hour and a half in the studio for your photoshoot

  • Your session will include a variety of beautifully styled images - not just the charming antique scale shots. We have a lovely selection of chairs, baskets, and crates to create different looks and settings. At your viewing appointment, you'll typically see around 40 of the very best images from your session to choose from.

  • No need to worry if your puppy is a little fussy or unsettled on the day - that’s completely normal, and we’re well prepared for it.

    Our photographers are highly experienced with dogs of all temperaments, and even the most energetic pups don’t faze us! In fact, many owners are amazed at the beautiful moments we’re able to capture, no matter how wiggly their pup might be.

  • Be sure to bring along some of your pup’s favourite treats, as well as something that smells like home - a blanket or familiar item can help them feel relaxed and comfortable. If they have any favourite toys or special items you’d like included in the photos, feel free to bring those too!

  • Your session will take place in our professional portrait studio in Leicester. We have families travel from all over the country - especially throughout the midlands such as Nottingham, Coventry, Birmingham, Derby and Sheffield.

  • 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.
