Introducing the ZigZag Team

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Igor has been running his own studios for over 35 years! But his enthusiasm and passion for the business has never waned.

He loves running, swimming and cycling. Having run the London Marathon for several years, completed numerous century bike rides, and swam miles in the Serpentine, he is now putting it all together and aiming for an Ironman competition.

STUDIO MANAGER / PHOTOGRAPHER

Natalie graduated with First Class Honours in Photography at De Montfort University. She has been here at ZigZag for over 10 years and has looked after many of our nurseries in that time.

Natalie loves children of all ages and enjoys nothing more than capturing their cheeky personalities! When she's not busy here, she has her own sassy daughter to photograph and so family time has become very important to her. Natalie is always full of energy and will do anything to make sure she gets the best images of your children!

DEPUTY MANAGER

Della’s business interests over the years have been varied. She started her career as a 100 operator and has not stopped talking since! She was a partner in a printing company and a director of a roofing company before spending 22 years working in photography studios!

Della has a very active social life. She has 2 children and an adorable dog called Toby and recently became a Grandma!

She also drinks coffee by the gallon!

DEPUTY MANAGER / PHOTOGRAPHER

After having some interesting jobs, like working on a chicken farm to working in America, Jess has always been up for a challenge. She has been with ZigZag for over five years now, capturing all the moments which happen in our studio and even in schools and nurseries!

Jess loves anything from newborn shoots through to the large generational photoshoots and of course anybody who is up for a good laugh. She loves capturing candid expressions and bringing out what’s at the heart of every family.

PHOTOGRAPHER

From studying Art and Photography in college and going onto a pre-degree foundation art course, Abbie has always had a creative nature! She loves to have fun in the studio and you’ll always hear her casting some sort of magic! Abbie is most happy when she’s surrounded by animals, especially dogs, as she also fosters them at home! (So, prepare your dogs for lots of fuss!)

However, after all the excitement in the studio, she also loves to relax with a good book!

PHOTOGRAPHER

Freya comes from a background working in luxury fashion and loves finding ways to bring her passion for fashion into the studio. She loves meeting new people to have a laugh and lots of fun with in photoshoots. Like everyone else in the studio she’s dog crazy and has a particular soft spot for the big friendly giants like her sheepadoodle Dottie. If she’s not in the studio, you’ll probably find her with a cup of tea and a hot water bottle.
