Family sessions at home, in a Lambeth park or at our Northwood HA6 studio · free consultation
Lambeth and nearby
The whole group is photographed early, then it splits: parents with each child, the children by themselves, grandparents with grandchildren. Anyone who has travelled furthest is finished before they tire.
Nothing is posed beyond putting people where the light is. The rest comes from giving children something to do and photographing what follows. You receive an edited gallery on a private link, and we keep the ones where somebody has just laughed at something out of shot, because those tend to be what gets framed.

What we offer
Family sessions at Brockwell Park or at home, timed for when the youngest is at their best.
Three generations on one booking, with the group picture taken first and everything else built around it.
An edited gallery on a private link, printable, and cropped for the few that go on a wall.
Why choose us
What we look for is the connection between you, the cuddles, giggles and quiet moments, not a row of people told to smile.
Bring spare clothes, spare nappies, a feed and something for an older sibling to do. Everything else you are likely to need is already here. Small details count as much as the portraits: hands, tiny feet and the things that change within weeks.

Recent work
With small children, a Lambeth park with grass to run on and a short walk from the car or bus matters more than a famous view. Each place below is summarised from a published source, linked so you can check opening times before the day. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
Good to know
You can order fine prints, framed wall art, canvases or a hand-finished album, each made from the images you choose. After the session an edited online gallery arrives to look through at your own pace, and you decide what suits your family and your walls.
Yes. Running order does the heavy lifting. Older children go first, while their goodwill lasts, and the baby is photographed afterwards, since a newborn will sleep through the whole business regardless. Nobody then sits around getting tired waiting for a turn. At home in Lambeth it happens in one room, with the pram, the toys and the feeding all within reach.
Truly every age. We welcome newborns, babies, toddlers, older children and teenagers, alongside parents and grandparents too, right through to four generations in one go. Photographing a whole family across every stage of life is what we love most, and nobody misses out.
Yes, in your own home rather than in our room, which given the distance involved is the only sensible arrangement for a Lambeth booking. The early weeks are the easiest window. A session runs slowly, because feeding and changing come first and the schedule bends around them. We work close to a window, with the room warmer than you would normally keep it, and nothing gets posed that the baby has not already settled into.
Because we build the session around Brockwell Park's quiet hour rather than around a convenient diary slot. Lambeth families are booked early in the day, we work within a couple of minutes of one entrance so nothing has to be carried far, and there is a wet weather answer ready: your own home, same day, same booking, instead of rescheduling three weeks out and starting the whole negotiation again.
Serving Lambeth
For a family session in Lambeth we come to you from Northwood, and Kennington Park, a public park since 1852, is another open space we would suggest alongside Brockwell Park. It sits close to Southwark and Wandsworth, which we cover too. Families who would rather come to us can use the Northwood studio, whose nearest station is Northwood Hills on the Metropolitan line.
Lambeth has been shaped by Caribbean migration since the 1950s and is home to about 317,000 people, with green space from Archbishop's Park on Carlisle Lane to Brockwell Park, which opened to the public in 1892. Families coming by train can use Vauxhall on the Victoria line, and London Waterloo has step-free access to all platforms, which helps with a pram. Sessions on location in Lambeth can use Brockwell Park near Herne Hill and Brixton.

Two things shape a Lambeth family session before the forecast gets a say. One is the length of the borough. It runs from Waterloo down to Streatham, so a family in Kennington and grandparents in Streatham will not meet anywhere convenient by accident, and Brockwell Park is properly local to the Herne Hill and Brixton end rather than to all of it. We pick the ground around whoever faces the hardest journey, which is usually the oldest person coming. The other is that plenty of families here travel on foot or by train rather than by car, and a pram, a changing bag and a toddler do not manage steps well. So we meet at whichever entrance you come in by and stay close to it, rather than naming a point deep inside the park and leaving everyone to find it. After that it is patience. Small children spend theirs at the start and none of it returns, so the frame containing everybody gets made first, while standing about is still a novelty, and the loose running-around pictures come later, once nobody is being told where to stand. If a grandparent is unsteady, we keep to level ground near the entrance and photograph them seated, with the children brought over to them. In midwinter, or with a baby too small to sit up, one warm room at home beats the lot of it.

How it works
With the studio about 15 miles away in Northwood, most Lambeth family sessions happen at home or in a local park, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book. At home in Lambeth we bring studio-quality lighting, so a front room works as well as a park when the weather turns. The studio is there as an alternative if home or park does not suit.
Kaushik Bathia photographs every family session himself; he has run the Northwood studio since 2001, is FBIPP and FMPA, and holds five European Kodak Gold Awards.
