Kaushik Bathia has photographed our family on many occasions and done a fantastic job. His work is displayed all over our family homes and he has captured moments which will be cherished forever. He also managed to get great pictures of my two children (both under 5), a near enough impossible task in itself. We highly recommend!
Kaushik is a fantastic photographer and has captured some superb family memories for us! Great service with high quality, professional images.
Had a wonderful experience at Kaushik Bathia photography. He was really patient with my kids , encouraging them to smile while always looking for the best angle to make the photos great.

Why choose us
Patience with little ones in Cockfosters
We start with the whole family together on the open lawn, then break into pairs and small groups, and finish with relaxed walking and play along the lake path. Parents get a few minutes on their own too, which is a rare thing once children arrive.
Later you look through an online gallery and pick favourites without any hurry. Images are retouched gently and supplied for screen and print, and framed prints, canvases and albums can be ordered for the family or as gifts for grandparents.

Family Photographer in Cockfosters, FAQs
Both are available. Outdoors, Trent Country Park gives Cockfosters families lakes, lawns and woodland, with parking at the Cockfosters Road entrance.
Yes.
Probably not, and that is fine. We take the important group picture quickly while attention lasts, then follow the toddler rather than chase them. In Trent Country Park, a walk down a path holding a parent's hand often gives the most natural picture of the day.
Yes. Older siblings are photographed first, before they lose interest, and then gently introduced to the baby for a few close frames. We keep it short and relaxed and build in breaks.
Yes, we offer exactly that. Parents in Cockfosters can book a first-year package, beginning with the newborn weeks, moving through sitting and standing, and ending with a cake smash at twelve months. Seen together, the sessions show just how fast a baby changes in twelve months.
