For Hornsey
Photographing families in Hornsey
- What is included: 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 Hornsey: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Priory Park, Stationers Park or Alexandra Park. We travel from Northwood, about 13 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- To book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
The session opens with the full group picture while energy is high, then moves into smaller combinations: parents together, siblings, a grandparent with a grandchild. Kaushik keeps the direction light and playful so children forget the camera.
When it is over you receive an online gallery to browse together at home, choosing favourites without any pressure. The chosen images are retouched naturally and can be ordered as prints, framed pieces, canvases or an album for the family.

Kaushik Has magical touches!! We did a family session and were surprised that we could not find any flaw with circa 200 pictures taken by Kaushik. Kausik is simply amazing , we highly recommend to give job to Kaushik to capture special moments of life !! Well done Kaushik!!
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!
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.
What we offer
Family photography in Hornsey
Local and experienced
How a family session runs
Toddlers cry, wriggle and fall asleep at awkward moments, and a family session in Hornsey simply adapts around them without fuss. Tell us when the baby naps and feeds, and the session is timed for the part of the day when your children are usually brightest.
Expect the full family group first, followed by siblings, parents with each child, and a few solo frames of every little one. In Northwood the backdrops are warm and uncluttered; outside in an N8 park, soft daylight does most of the work.

Family Photographer in Hornsey, FAQs
Because sessions are booked in advance, early notice makes it much easier to find another date that suits everyone.
Yes.
Both. Outdoors, Hornsey families can use Priory Park, with its play areas and café, or the quieter Stationers Park.
Get in touch during pregnancy so a provisional date can be pencilled in around your due date, then confirm once the baby arrives. Babies change quickly in the first weeks, so it helps to have the session planned rather than searching for a free day later.
Yes, we offer exactly that. Families around Hornsey can book a first-year series that follows the baby from the newborn stage, through sitting up and first standing, to a first birthday cake smash. Seen side by side, the four sessions show just how much a baby changes in twelve months.

Reading from our journal that may help as you plan a family session in Hornsey, from outfits to keeping children happy.
Families in Hornsey have a choice of three very different settings close to home, and the right one depends on the ages involved. Priory Park on Middle Lane holds a Green Flag and has play areas and a café, which matters more than it sounds: a toddler who has just been on the swings is happier in front of a camera, and a parent who has had a coffee is calmer too. Stationers Park on Mayfield Road, between Crouch End, Stroud Green and Harringay, is smaller and quieter, useful for a family that wants fewer passers-by in the background. The Parkland Walk suits older children who enjoy a stroll, since the old railway path gives a natural line for walking shots with everyone holding hands. Whatever the location, the whole group frame is taken first, while the youngest still has patience, and the looser, playful pictures follow. Plan the session around naps rather than around the light, because a rested child beats a perfect sunset every time. The same applies to grandparents who would rather sit than walk. Everyone, from the newest baby to the eldest relative, is welcome, and the pace is set by the children.
