Family portrait sessions in Golders Green
- Included in the session: 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 Golders Green: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Golders Hill Park, Hill Garden and Pergola or Hampstead Heath Extension. We travel from Northwood, about 9 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- How to book: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383, and we will arrange a date and place in Golders Green.
Sessions run at the children's pace, with the whole family photographed first and smaller groups after. Guided posing keeps adults comfortable, and children are encouraged to play, explore and react rather than hold a fixed pose.
When the session is finished you look through an online gallery and choose the pictures you love, with no pressure. Natural retouching keeps everyone recognisable, and the finished images arrive web-ready and print-ready, with albums, canvases and framed prints available. An album suits a milestone year, keeping the sessions together in order.

I took my elderly parents to have photos path the grandchildren. The whole experience from photo shoot to choosing and picking up the photos was amazing. Kaushik was polite helpful and friendly and made all the kids and my elderly parents feel comfortable. They all enjoyed the experience and the photos were amazing. He even delivered them home on Christmas Eve!
…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.
Fantastic service, Kaushik captured some amazing shots of our family. He is patient, professional, friendly and creative which really helps when trying to get pictures with young children. You never feel rushed and the final product will be something we cherish for years to come. This was our second time with Kaushik and we will be going back again. We have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Kaushik!

Good to know
Family Photographer in Golders Green, FAQs
Yes. Milestone sessions mark moments such as sitting up, first steps or a first birthday, and they can be held outdoors in Golders Hill Park when the weather allows. Spacing them across a year shows how quickly a child changes.
Choose two or three colours that sit well together, rather than identical outfits, and avoid large logos or loud prints. Muted tones and soft neutrals work well against the greenery and water of Golders Hill Park. Bring a spare outfit for the youngest, since grass and pond edges rarely leave clothes untouched.
You can book several sessions across a baby's first year, for example a newborn sitting followed by later milestones, to build a record of how quickly things change. Prices, including for a series of sessions, are given on request by phone or WhatsApp, so ask about the stages you have in mind.
We photograph all ages, newborns and grandparents included. The approach adapts: babies are photographed around their feeds and naps, toddlers while they play, teenagers in a way that respects how they like to look, and older relatives are seated comfortably for group frames.
A cake smash is a playful way to mark a first birthday. Your baby is given a cake of their own, and the camera follows the wide-eyed anticipation, the mess and the sheer delight. Few of our sessions are as much fun.

Golders Green, a hub of Jewish family life in North London for well over a century, is still a cosmopolitan place, with kosher bakeries and restaurants along Golders Green Road. The Underground reached Golders Green in 1907 and the area grew quickly around it, with Golders Hill Park's flower garden, duck pond and small zoo on hand for family outings. Family members joining from elsewhere can take the Northern line to Golders Green, or one of the many bus routes from the station forecourt. Sessions on location near Golders Green can use Golders Hill Park, with the Golders Green Hippodrome close at hand.

Golders Hill Park is the natural choice for a family session from Golders Green. Managed by the City of London as part of Hampstead Heath, it has a flower garden beside a duck pond crossed by a small humpback bridge, a water garden and a small zoo, which together give children plenty to look at between pictures. The bridge makes a lovely spot for a family frame, with everyone gathered on it and the water below. The park closes at night, so sessions run in daylight, and in winter that means planning around shorter afternoons. The Hampstead Heath Extension offers wider open space for children who need to run, and Central Square in Hampstead Garden Suburb, with its Lutyens buildings, suits a more formal portrait of a larger family. A milestone such as a first birthday, a baby learning to sit up or a grandparent's big anniversary is a good reason to book. Dress the family in coordinated rather than matching colours, with soft neutrals or muted tones that sit well against greenery and water, and bring snacks and a spare outfit for the youngest. Afterwards you choose favourites from an online gallery, and an album can gather a whole year of sessions together.
