Capturing your family in Edmonton
- What is included: About an hour in front of the camera, unhurried and patient with little ones, followed by an online gallery; favourites can become fine-art prints, framed pieces or an album.
- Where we photograph in Edmonton: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Pymmes Park or Pymmes Park walled garden. We travel from Northwood, about 15 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- How to book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
First comes the full family picture while everyone is fresh, then smaller groups and time for children to play. Kaushik keeps instructions simple and playful, using games to win real smiles from children and relaxed expressions from adults.
Afterwards you look through an online gallery from home and pick your favourites in your own time. Your chosen images get a natural retouch and are delivered digitally, or made up as prints, frames, canvases and albums for everyone in the family.

Amazing service from Mr Kaushik Bathia. He is very professional, friendly and helpful. He made the family photoshoot a funny and pleasant experience. We highly recommend him! Thank you.
I booked the family portrait for my family and it was a wonderful experience. Kaushik is such a great photographer, able to coax a smile from any reluctant person. Making the decision of which pictures to chose is particularly difficult as they are all good.
We have been getting our pictures clicked with Mr. Bhatia for many years now, he is very reliable, excellent at his job and he is great with kids as well! I'd really recommend his services.
What we offer
Family photography in Edmonton
Extended family groups
Large family groups arranged in layers so every face is clear and well lit.
25+ years behind the lens
The right photographer for your family
A group of more than eight people is set out in a gentle curve rather than a straight row, so every face is equally far from the camera and evenly lit. Cake smash photographs follow a strict sequence, outfit portraits while everything is clean, then the cake, then a tidy up, since it cannot be done the other way round.
A maternity session captures the bump with calm, flattering portraits, either in Northwood or outdoors near home. Sessions range from maternity, newborn and cake smash to milestone birthdays and classic portraits of several generations together.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Edmonton, FAQs
Of course, and we adore it. Soft, careful images of a new baby beside older siblings capture that very first bond so well. By moving at the little ones' own pace, we keep everyone settled, and the closeness between them comes through clearly.
Simply let us know as early as possible. Little ones have bad days and can fall ill without warning, and a new date is always better than photographs of an upset child. We will then agree another date that suits your family.
Yes. From a couple with a newborn to four generations gathered together, we can photograph family groups of every size. We keep larger sessions moving and light, so even the youngest do not lose patience and everyone gets their moment.
Of course. Your dog belongs in the family album too, and a well-behaved pet is welcome to join the session. Tell us beforehand so the shots can be planned and both people and pet stay calm.
A cake smash marks a first birthday, with a cake for your little one to prod, squash and taste. The photographs follow it all, from the first wary look at the cake to the happy mess that follows. It is a joyful, chaotic hour and one of the most cheerful sessions in the diary.
Serving Edmonton
A family photographer near Edmonton
Our family sessions cover all of Greater London, so they reach Pymmes Park and the rest of Edmonton. It sits close to Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green, which we cover too.
Pymmes Park, the historic green space Edmonton grew around, has a lake, an ornamental pond and a walled garden for an outdoor family session. Open to everyone since 1906, the park's Grade II listed walls enclose a Victorian garden of borders and bedding plants, a colourful setting for children. Relatives travelling in can use Silver Street or Edmonton Green stations, both with trains from London Liverpool Street, with the North Circular and A10 meeting close by. Sessions on location near Edmonton can use Pymmes Park, with Millfield House close at hand.

Pymmes Park is the obvious place to start a family session in Edmonton. The lake and open grass give space for children to run, while the walled garden offers a calmer, more sheltered setting where everyone can be gathered against old brick and flower borders. Jubilee Park is a useful second option, simpler and more open, if your family prefers fewer features and more room. Large families gathering from different parts of north London can meet at a single, easy landmark in the park, which keeps the start of the session relaxed. The group picture always comes first, while the youngest children are still fresh, followed by siblings, couples and grandparents in smaller combinations. Big groups are arranged in layers, with the eldest seated and others standing close behind, so the frame stays compact and everyone's face is clearly visible. Pack drinks, snacks and wipes, and keep a favourite toy for the moment a toddler loses interest. Relatives who find standing difficult benefit too. Everyone from a brand new baby to great grandparents is welcome, and the session runs at the children's pace.
