- Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383, or leave your details in the form below.
We begin with the full family looking at the camera, the most important frame, while everyone is fresh. Then come smaller groupings and finally the natural, moving shots, walking along Parkland Walk or playing on the lawn, where the real personalities come out.
Choose favourite family photos from an online gallery whenever you have time. Every chosen image is retouched gently and supplied for screens and for printing, and prints, frames, canvases and albums can be ordered for the family home or as gifts.

I was nervous about how my 2 year old would react, but we had a great photo session! Kaushik had plenty of props to keep my son entertained, laughing, and happily posing.Afterward, he was incredibly patient as we went through every single photo to pick our favorites, even though we kept changing our minds. I highly recommend his service and will definitely be back once my second baby is born!
We had a large family photoshoot to do which can always be tricky. Kaushik was absolutely fantastic with a myriad of toys and noises to get smiles out of the little ones (they are still talking about the mouse on a stick!). Kaushik took the various different combinations we wanted and positioned each one expertly.
We have known Kaushik Bathia for many years and he has photographed many weddings and events for the family. We also go to him for our family portraits and as the family grows, we keep returning to him not only because of his high quality work, but because of his great nature and light hearted approach that always makes the session so enjoyable. Highly recommended for all your photography needs!

Family Photographer in Crouch End, FAQs
Yes, gladly. Maternity portraits mark this time with relaxed, flattering pictures, taken outdoors. Booking maternity and newborn sessions together tells the full story, from the bump to the baby's first weeks at home.
Your images are uploaded to an online gallery after the session, where the family can look through them together and choose favourites with no pressure. Once the choice is made, the selected photographs are retouched and delivered ready for screens and printing, along with any prints or albums you order.
Pick two or three colours that sit well together and let each person wear them in their own way. Avoid big logos and very bright prints. In Priory Park or along Parkland Walk, warm neutrals and soft blues look lovely against the greenery. Layers help, as children warm up when they run.
Pick your favourite frames in the online gallery, then order loose prints, framed prints, canvases or an album. Digital files are supplied too, web-ready and print-ready. We can help you choose a group of images for a gallery wall or a single large piece for the living room.
Babies do that, and it is no cause for concern at all. We pause, let you feed or cuddle the baby, and carry on when things are calm.
Serving Crouch End
A family photographer near Crouch End
Crouch End is a lively, bohemian Haringey neighbourhood in Greater London, with the Broadway and its clock tower at its heart. It sits close to Hornsey and Highgate, which we cover too.
Crouch End's village feel, its creative community and the independent shops around the Broadway make a relaxed setting for photographing a family close to home. With no Underground station of its own, Crouch End is one of London's larger districts, so a family session close to home is often easiest. Relatives joining the session can use Crouch Hill station on the London Overground Suffragette line, or Finsbury Park a short walk further on. Outdoor family photographs around Crouch End could use Priory Park or the tree-lined Parkland Walk nature trail, while the Clock Tower and Hornsey Town Hall make familiar local backdrops.

Crouch End families have a choice of green spaces with quite different personalities. Priory Park, on Middle Lane, is the classic option, a well-kept park with open lawns and a granite fountain dating from 1909, ideal for the group picture where everyone needs to be seen clearly. Stationers Park, between Crouch End, Stroud Green and Harringay, is a smaller, neighbourly space that has also held a Green Flag Award for years, and suits families with very young children who will not walk far. Parkland Walk, the tree-lined nature trail along the old railway line, is the place for movement: children running ahead along the path, a parent swinging a toddler, a walk shot from behind. Its tree cover gives soft, even light, but it can be dim on a grey day, so this part of the session works best when the sky is bright. Arrive with everyone fed and rested, and expect the first twenty minutes to be the most cooperative. Put the most important photograph, the full family looking at the camera, at the start. It runs at the baby's pace, with feeds, changes and cuddles built in, and a family session there is unaffected by rain.
