For Kilburn
Warm, relaxed family sessions in Kilburn
- What the session includes: 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 Kilburn: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Queen's Park. We travel from Northwood, about 10 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- To book: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383, or leave your details in the form below.
Sessions begin with the whole family together while energy is high, then move to smaller groups: siblings, parents with children, grandparents with the youngest. Play follows, with the camera catching laughter and movement rather than stiff smiles.
Later you browse an online gallery and choose favourites at your own pace. The images you pick are retouched naturally and supplied as web-ready and print-ready files, with prints, frames, canvases and albums to order for yourselves or relatives.

Wonderful experienced photographer..clicked our crying 2 year old in minutes
Kaushik took a photograph of my grand-daughter. The final product was superb. My little 2 year old girl was kept so calm and at ease with Kaushik’s kindness. We will now always use Kaushik for our photography.
We had a family photo session with grandparents, parents sons and our dog too. Mr Bathia is good humoured, he got the best out of all of us and took some great photos.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Kilburn, FAQs
Mostly, yes. A few arranged frames make sure the whole family is captured together, but the rest of the session is guided play, walking and conversation, with Kaushik catching moments as they happen. Children are encouraged to be themselves, and parents are given simple prompts, such as whispering a joke, rather than fixed poses.
Rarely for long, and that is expected. Toddlers are photographed in quick bursts, with games and breaks in between, and running or giggling shots are often the favourites. Bring snacks, a familiar toy and a spare outfit.
Yes. Feeds and changes fit in without fuss. It is about 10 miles from Kilburn.
Yes, if your pet is relaxed around people and new places. A calm dog on a lead can join an outdoor session, though Queen's Park keeps dogs out of its playgrounds, children's enclosures and flower garden, so those frames would happen on open grass. Bring treats and a family member to take the pet home once its pictures are done.
Yes. The sibling frames are taken first, while older children are interested, with the baby held in a parent's arms or across a sibling's lap under close supervision. Then the older children can go and play while the newborn's own portraits are taken.

For a family in Kilburn, the nearest green settings are Kilburn Grange Park, close to the High Road, and the larger Queen's Park nearby, with its open lawns, big trees and 1891 bandstand. Because Queen's Park is run by the City of London Corporation, whose byelaws require an agreement before photography for a business, a family shoot there would be agreed with them in advance. Either park lets children run about, which is when their best expressions appear. Begin with the full group while energy is high, stand grandparents or parents slightly behind seated children so every face catches the same light, then let the younger ones run and play while the camera follows. Mid-morning usually suits babies and toddlers better than late afternoon. Dress the family in a few coordinating colours and avoid big logos or cartoon prints. It is about 10 miles from Kilburn. Kaushik works at the children's pace throughout, and afterwards favourites are picked from an online gallery, with prints, canvases and albums to order.
