Photographing families in Hounslow
We allow an hour and expect to use forty minutes of it, since what a family session actually yields is short, and stopping while everyone is still cheerful beats pushing on.
Clothing works best when the colours sit near each other without anybody matching outright. The finished set is edited in colour, and any frame that is stronger without it comes back in black and white as well. Small children are not asked to sit still; we give them a job and photograph what happens next.

Letting Hounslow children set the pace
Older children get a game to play, which shows who they really are far better than a pose. What we look for is how you are together, a cuddle on the grass or a shared joke, rather than a row of fixed smiles.
A newborn at home and three children racing round a park need different plans, and we shape each session to the family in front of us. Favourite frames can become framed prints, canvases, wall art or a fine-art album.

Hounslow parks and open spaces for a family session
Children in Hounslow settle faster where there is grass to run on and the walk from the car is short, so we would favour an easy park over a grand setting. These parks and open spaces around Hounslow are each summarised from a linked source, so you can check paths and facilities first. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Hounslow, FAQs
It is a first-birthday session built around a cake. Your baby is given a cake of their own, and we photograph the first careful poke, the mess and the grin that follows. It is easily among the most fun sessions we offer.
Babies do that, and it is fine. Tears, squirming and sudden sleepiness are expected, so we just stop, help settle your little one and pick up where we left off. A wobble halfway through seldom shows in the finished set.
Yes. Sessions there are run so children can move around instead of being asked to sit still, and nothing depends on anyone staying in one spot. It is also the sensible choice from Hounslow on a cold or wet day, when an outdoor session would be finished in ten minutes whatever the plan was. Bring a snack and a spare top for the youngest.
We arrange the situation and leave the expressions alone: a walk along one of the paths, everyone down on the grass together, then the children left to get on with it while the camera keeps going. There are two or three arranged frames taken quickly, because most families do want one where everybody happens to be looking. The rest is not posed at all.
Yes. In the last weeks the deciding factor is travel and standing rather than light, so from Hounslow the usual answer is that we come to the house, work near a window and keep most of the session seated. If you would rather have a plain background and studio lighting, Northwood involves half an hour on your feet at most. Either way it stays to one location.
Serving Hounslow
A family photographer near Hounslow
We photograph family sessions across London, and we travel to Hounslow (Greater London) from our Northwood studio, about 9 miles away. It sits close to Ealing and Richmond upon Thames, which we cover too. Families who would rather come to us can use the studio at 21 Joel St in Northwood.
The park, at 40 Harte Road (TW3 4LD), holds a Green Flag Award, and for a family session we would suggest the formal southern half, around the flower beds and the pond. Lampton Park, north-west of Hounslow Central station, opened in 1930, with playing fields to the north and a formal park to the south with flower beds, a pond, a memorial garden, woodland and a wildflower meadow. Sessions on location near Hounslow can use Lampton Park, with Osterley Park close at hand.

A family session in Hounslow points at Lampton Park by default, and the first decision is not where in it to photograph but where to leave the car. It has plenty of room, which is a real advantage for pictures and a real problem for a pram, a toddler on foot and a grandparent who does not want a hike before anything has been taken. Where distance is a factor we agree a meeting point at the near end and work within a few minutes of it, rather than aiming for the best corner and arriving with everyone flat. Ground surface settles the rest. Mown grass takes small wheels well enough when it is dry and not at all once it is wet, so through the winter months the route runs along made paths and the family steps onto grass only for the frames that need it. If anyone in the group cannot stay on their feet for long, a bench is worth building the session around. Sitting a whole family down and photographing them from slightly above works better than it should, and it puts every face on one level. Small children give about twenty good minutes and the running order should reflect it. Everyone in one picture belongs at the beginning, while the youngest child is still watching us rather than the dog on the far path, then the adults, then whatever the children do once they have stopped performing. When wind, rain or the dark end of winter makes all of that pointless, the Northwood studio produces the same pictures indoors, weather removed.

How it works
Hounslow shoots, at your venue
Hounslow is about 9 miles from the studio, and for a family session there, travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book. For a family that usually means your home or a park such as Lampton Park, with lighting brought along if a room is dark.
Your family session is photographed by Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, who has run the Northwood studio since 2001 and holds five European Kodak Gold Awards.
