Photographing families in Roxeth
- Included in the session: 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.
- Studio or on location: Studio sittings in Northwood, or a relaxed shoot outdoors within about 20 miles.
- How far: Roxeth is about 4 miles from the studio at 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, measured in a straight line; the road distance is longer.
- Booking: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383; sessions are booked in advance so the studio is ready when you arrive.
Sessions run at the children's pace. The group picture is taken first, while attention is fresh, and the rest follows as play, cuddles and smaller combinations of siblings, parents and grandparents. Kaushik guides the posing so nobody has to organise the group themselves.
Afterwards the family looks through an online gallery at home and settles on its favourites in its own time, with no pressure. Retouching stays natural, files arrive ready for phones and for printing, and the chosen images can become prints, frames, canvases or an album for the Roxeth home.

Wonderful experienced photographer..clicked our crying 2 year old in minutes
We’ve been having pictures taken by Kaushik over 15 years. Very professional and brilliant pictures
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.
What we offer
Family photography in Roxeth
Newborn and baby sittings
Newborns to grandparents welcome, with guided posing for larger groups.
Studio or outdoors
A warm, quiet Northwood studio for babies and wet or cold days.
Local and experienced
A photographer for every stage of childhood
Sessions are timed around naps and feeds wherever possible, so the youngest members are rested and content when the camera comes out. The aim is the real affection between you, the hugs, laughter and quieter looks, more than a row of posed smiles.
Each family sitting is unhurried, leaving room for the whole group, relaxed candid frames and portraits of each child on their own. Kaushik then picks out and edits the strongest frames, and the family browses them online at home before settling on prints or an album.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Roxeth, FAQs
Very much so. The Northwood studio is warm and calm, and sessions run at the children's pace, with breaks for snacks, feeds or a cuddle whenever needed. For a family travelling from Roxeth it also removes the guesswork about weather, which matters a lot with babies and toddlers.
Of course. Sessions welcome everyone from newborns to grandparents. In the studio a chair or bench lets older relatives sit comfortably while the rest of the family gathers around them, and outdoors at Alexandra Park the gardens offer benches and level paths that make the session easier for anyone who prefers not to stand for long.
Yes, and they should be. Parents are often missing from the family album because they are the ones holding the phone. A session includes pictures of the whole family together, parents with each child, and the quieter in between moments that usually go unrecorded.
Your online gallery is prepared after the session, and you can take your time choosing favourites with no pressure. Once you have selected, the images are retouched naturally and delivered as files ready for screens and print, and any prints, canvases or albums you order are produced from the same choices.
Yes. Larger groups are posed in layers, with some seated and others standing, so every face is visible and nobody disappears behind a taller relative. Roxeth Recreation Ground has plenty of open space for an extended family outdoors, and the studio can be arranged for a bigger gathering too; mention the numbers when you book.

Roxeth Recreation Ground is a sensible first thought for a family session close to home: a Green Flag park with a playground, open pitches and the bowling club's green at its edge, entered from Eastcote Road and from Wood End Avenue. The playground matters more than it seems. A toddler who knows the swings are waiting will cooperate with a group picture far longer than one who has nothing to look forward to, so the formal frame goes first and the play comes after, with the camera still running. Alexandra Park, a short way along Northolt Road, has gardens with more shelter and colour, which helps when a grandparent prefers a bench to an open field. Grass shows every footprint after rain, so pack wipes and a spare pair of shoes for small children, and dress the family in two or three related colours rather than identical outfits. Some families do not suit the outdoors at all. A newborn, a baby who is still feeding often, or a cold month makes the studio the kinder choice, and it sits about 4 miles from Roxeth in the Northwood Hills shopping parade, with parking close by. There the session runs at the child's pace, with warmth and quiet, and nobody has to watch the clouds.
