Every generation, captured in Queen's Park
- What the session includes: Natural portraits and candid moments of everyone together, from newborns to grandparents, paced for the youngest, then a private online gallery to choose your favourites.
- Where we photograph in Queen's Park: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Queen's Park, Queen's Park Children's Farm and play areas or Paddington Recreation Ground. We travel from Northwood, about 10 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- How to book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
Sessions usually begin with everyone together while energy is high, then break into smaller groups and moments of play. In the park, the children's farm or the sandpit area can become a reward between frames, and walking shots along the curving paths capture how the family moves together.
When you view the online gallery afterwards, you choose favourites at your own pace. Selected images are retouched naturally and delivered as web-ready and print-ready files, and framed prints, canvases and albums can be ordered for home or for grandparents.
Check availability
We have been getting our pictures clicked with Mr. Bhatia for many years now, he is very reliable, excellent at his job and he is great with kids as well! I'd really recommend his services.
He was very professional, made us relaxed and got everyone to smile. The photos were beautiful especially the family portrait.
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.

Places for a family shoot in and around Queen's Park
With little ones in tow, room to run and a short walk from the car or station count for more than an impressive view. Here are some places in and around Queen's Park, each summarised from a linked source. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Queen's Park on Kingswood Avenue (NW6 6SG), managed by the City of London Corporation, is a 30-acre park laid out in 1887 by Alexander McKenzie with no straight lines, bold tree planting and open lawns, and keeps a veteran oak and hawthorn from the hedgerow that pre-dates it. 1
- Queen's Park bandstand. The park's cast-iron bandstand, made in 1891 by Macfarlane and Co. of Glasgow, is the most spectacular survivor of its original architecture, and a lych gate was added in 1936. 2
- Queen's Park Children's Farm and play areas. Queen's Park also has a children's farm, a pitch and putt course, tennis courts and a play area with a sandpit. 3
- Kensal Green Cemetery on Harrow Road, south-west of Queen's Park, was founded in 1833 as one of London's 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries and its 72 acres beside the canal are Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. 4

Good to know
Family Photographer in Queen's Park, FAQs
Both. Outdoors suits families with toddlers who need room to move, and Queen's Park offers lawns, trees and the bandstand close to home, subject to the Corporation's agreement for professional photography. It is about 10 miles from Queen's Park.
Tell us as early as you can and the date can be moved. Babies and toddlers get poorly or have bad days, and moving the session is always better than photographing a child who is miserable. Kaushik will then agree another date with you that suits the whole family.
Once you have picked your favourite family images, prints, frames, canvases and albums can be ordered from them. A single large canvas suits a living room wall, while an album keeps a whole session together and makes a lasting gift for grandparents. You also receive files for sharing online. Ask for prices by phone or WhatsApp.
Yes. Breaks for feeds, changes and snacks fit in easily, and Kaushik works at the child's pace.
Choose two or three colours for the family and let everyone wear their own combination of them instead of identical outfits. Soft, mid-tone colours sit well against the greens of Queen's Park, while very bright neon or large logos pull attention from faces. Bring a spare top for small children, and comfortable shoes for walking shots.

Family-session advice from our journal, useful before photographs in Queen's Park.
Few neighbourhood parks give a family session as much to work with as Queen's Park. Thirty acres of open lawn and big trees mean room for a toddler to run, the children's farm and the play area with its sandpit give younger ones a reason to stay happy, and the bandstand makes a natural place to gather everyone for the group picture. The paths curve rather than run straight, so walking shots, with children holding hands between parents, look effortless. Since the park's byelaws require an agreement with the City of London Corporation before photography for a business, a session there is arranged with the Corporation in advance. Paddington Recreation Ground, a little south in Maida Vale, has gardens and its own bandstand if you want a second option. Plan for the youngest member of the family: morning sessions after breakfast tend to suit small children, and snacks in a parent's pocket rescue many a wobble. Muted shades in two or three colours tend to look good against grass and trees. It is about 10 miles from Queen's Park. Choosing your favourites happens later in an online gallery, entirely without pressure.
