- What the session includes: A relaxed session of usually about an hour, led by the children's mood, with a private online gallery afterwards and the option of prints, framed wall art or a hand-finished album.
- Where we photograph in Cricklewood: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Mapesbury and Railway Terraces conservation areas or Gladstone Park. We travel from Northwood, about 9 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- Booking: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383, and we will arrange a date and place in Cricklewood.
Sessions welcome everyone from newborns to grandparents in one booking, and the Mapesbury Estate's period streets add a short urban sequence for older children.
The pace follows the children. Breaks for snacks, cuddles and a run about are part of the plan, and the session simply picks up again once everyone is ready.

Not the first time we have used his services. Excellent with kids and achieves a perfect smile from them. Fantastic experience. Very pleased.
Amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia photography. Professionalism and picture quality are top notch. My wife is extremely impressed with the pictures and we received them right on time for the holidays.
…Kaushik has photographed our family on a number of occasions, and the experience has always been fantastic. Not only is the time that he spends with us very enjoyable, it is also a very relaxed experience as Kaushik manages to take phenomenal photos of you and your family in your everyday environment. Therefore, the photos always look very natural and relaxed.
What we offer
Family photography in Cricklewood
Extended family groups
Grandparents, parents and children together, with the full group photographed first.
Local and experienced
Warm, calm and patient in Cricklewood
The whole group is photographed first, while attention is fresh, followed by smaller combinations: siblings, parents with each child, grandparents with grandchildren. Guided posing keeps adults relaxed, and games and conversation keep the children engaged rather than drilled.
When the session is over you browse an online gallery and pick favourites with no pressure. Each family member is retouched lightly so they still look like themselves, and the images are supplied ready for screens and for print, with albums, canvases and framed prints to order.

Family Photographer in Cricklewood, FAQs
We do. Booking maternity and newborn sessions together lets you record the whole story from bump to baby.
Yes. A few guided group frames make sure everyone is included, but most of the session is spent catching real interaction: children laughing at each other, a parent lifting a toddler, a grandparent whispering something. Gladstone Park's open slopes and rose terraces give space for that kind of unforced moment.
Both are available. Outdoors, Cricklewood families can use Gladstone Park or Clitterhouse Playing Fields, and the hill in Gladstone Park adds a view across London.
Yes, grandparents are very welcome. Three generations in one frame is often the picture a family treasures most, and posing is arranged so older relatives can be seated comfortably.
Every age from newborn upwards, including toddlers, school-age children, teenagers, parents and grandparents. The approach changes with age: babies are photographed around feeds and naps, toddlers while they play, and teenagers with a more relaxed, grown-up style that respects how they want to be seen.
