We have been to Kaushik’s studio over many years for photos for passport renewals. He is very professional and has always taken the best pictures. We booked a family session recently and he did an amazing job and put us at ease for the portrait shots. Beautiful and artistic photos. We are very pleased with them. We would highly recommend his services.
Brilliant photography session with the whole family! Great service and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to take outstanding photos.
We had a family photo shoot, 11 people in toto. Great experience, lots of fun and laughter had during the session, resulting in some great pictures 😀

Why choose us
Warm, calm and patient in Sudbury Hill
The group photograph comes first, while everyone still has patience, and then we break into smaller combinations: siblings together, each child with a grandparent, the parents on their own for a few frames. Kaushik guides the posing gently so it feels like a series of small games rather than an exam.
You view the finished gallery online and choose your favourites without being hurried. Retouching is natural, so children still look like themselves, and the images arrive as print ready and web ready files. Favourite family frames can become framed prints, canvases or an album, for your own home or for grandparents and cousins.

Places for a family shoot in and around Sudbury Hill
With small children, a short walk from the car and room to run around count for more than a dramatic view. Here are some places in and around Sudbury Hill, each summarised from a linked source.
- Sudbury Court Open Space (The Pimple). Just across the Brent boundary, Sudbury Court Open Space on Pasture Road (HA0 3JL) is a small hilltop park known locally as The Pimple, with original hedges and mature oaks. 1
- St Mary's churchyard. The hilltop churchyard of St Mary's looks across much of London, including Canary Wharf and the BT Tower, and holds the Peachey Tomb, which Byron wrote about while at Harrow School. 2
- Harrow School was founded in 1572 by John Lyon, a local landowner and farmer, under a royal charter from Elizabeth I, and is a boarding school for boys aged 13 to 18. 3
- Horsenden Hill in the London Borough of Ealing lies between Perivale, Sudbury and Greenford, rises to 85 m, has a 2,500-year-old Iron Age settlement and has views to Harrow on the Hill and Wembley Stadium. 4

Good to know
Family Photographer in Sudbury Hill, FAQs
They will look relaxed, though some light direction goes into every frame. Kaushik places people so faces catch the light and nobody is hidden, then lets the interaction happen. On open ground such as Horsenden Hill, a walk together or children rolling down a gentle slope gives genuine laughter that no instruction could produce.
Of course. Sessions welcome everyone from newborns to grandparents. If walking is difficult, choose The Pimple at Sudbury Court Open Space rather than the climb up Horsenden Hill, or come to the studio about 4 miles away, where a chair and parking nearby make things easy. A seated grandparent at the centre of the group makes a lovely anchor.
Pick the frames you love from your online gallery; the files come in web ready and print ready versions, and prints, frames, canvases and albums are available to order. A large canvas suits a single group image; an album tells the story of the whole session. We are happy to advise on sizes for a particular wall.
Both. Outdoors near Sudbury Hill, Horsenden Hill and The Pimple are the natural choices, one high and open, the other small and shaded. The studio on the Northwood Hills parade, about 4 miles away, suits babies, winter months and anyone who prefers a predictable setting. You can decide after talking it through.
Get in touch during pregnancy so a provisional slot can be pencilled in, then confirm once the baby arrives. Newborn sessions take place in the warm studio rather than outdoors, with time allowed for feeds and settling. Bring a spare outfit for the baby and something comfortable for yourself, in case you join a few frames.
