We have been to Kaushik’s studio over many years for photos for passport renewals. He is very professional and has always taken the best pictures. We booked a family session recently and he did an amazing job and put us at ease for the portrait shots. Beautiful and artistic photos. We are very pleased with them. We would highly recommend his services.
We had our family portraits done many years ago with Kaushik Bathia and we loved them so we have now returned again this time with new additions to the family. On all the occasions we went Kaushik Bathia has taken care of everyone and made everyone laugh and smile especially the children in order to get the best photos.
…The gentleman took my family and I last minute for a photoshoot. Although we were running extremely late as we had a newborn, he waited patiently for us. He initially said he could only do 30 minutes because we were late but he ended up spending the entire hour and some minutes making sure we had the best photos.

Why choose us
Why book a family session in Alperton
Kaushik takes the whole-group photograph first, while attention is fresh, then moves through smaller combinations: siblings, parents together, grandparents with grandchildren and each child on their own. Play keeps children relaxed, so their expressions are real.
Later, everyone can look through the online gallery together and pick favourites without pressure. You get files for sharing and for printing, and prints, canvases, frames and albums can be ordered from your selection.

Family Photographer in Alperton, FAQs
Pick a palette of two or three colours that sit well together and dress the family within it, rather than matching outfits exactly. Avoid large logos and very bold patterns. Traditional dress in rich colours photographs beautifully, especially in soft light. Bring spare clothes for small children in case of spills or muddy grass.
Kaushik Bathia, a Fellow of the BIPP and MPA with five European Kodak Gold Awards, founded the studio in 2001, and it is rated 4.8 from 580+ Google reviews. Families in Alperton can choose a session in the studio about 6 miles away or outdoors at One Tree Hill or Heather Park, run at the children's pace.
Yes. The family dog or cat can be part of the session, usually photographed with the family first and then on its own. Outdoors, One Tree Hill Recreation Ground is popular with dog walkers and works well for a family with a dog. Keep the pet on a lead and bring treats to hold its attention.
Crying is a normal part of any baby session, so everything stops until your little one is ready again. Babies are fed, changed and comforted whenever needed, and the photographs carry on once they are calm. Newborn and baby sessions are best held in the studio, where the room is warm and quiet. Nobody is rushed, and some of the sweetest pictures come after a settle.
Your pictures are prepared after the session and shared in an online gallery for the family to look through together. Choose at your own pace, with no pressure. The favourites you select are delivered as web-ready and print-ready files, and prints, canvases, frames and albums can be ordered from them.
