A family photographer for Willesden Green
- Included in the session: 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 Willesden Green: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Gladstone Park, Mapesbury Dell or Roundwood Park. We travel from Northwood, about 9 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383, or leave your details in the form below.
The group photograph comes early, while everyone is fresh, and the looser pictures of siblings, parents and grandparents follow. Guided posing keeps adults comfortable and gives children simple, playful things to do instead of instructions to sit still.
Afterwards the family looks through an online gallery together and chooses favourites without pressure. Natural retouching keeps faces honest, and you can order prints, frames, canvases or albums, or keep the files in web and print sizes for sharing with relatives.

We have known Kaushik Bathia for many years and he has photographed many weddings and events for the family. We also go to him for our family portraits and as the family grows, we keep returning to him not only because of his high quality work, but because of his great nature and light hearted approach that always makes the session so enjoyable. Highly recommended for all your photography needs!
Great service and fantastic photos taken of myself and family. We were given a very warm welcome by Kaushik and I feel that was also reflected in the photos he took. So very pleased with the photos and would highly recommend Kaushik.
Me and my family had a photo shoot here and I must say Kaushik did a fantastic job. We went to review the photos and they were really good. We will treasure these memories forever.
Why choose us
Why book a family session in Willesden Green
Group shots are kept brisk and cheerful, so the youngest members of the family stay happy to the end. Newborns and toddlers set the pace, and the session is never squeezed to fit a timetable.
Grandparents, older brothers and sisters, or a much loved toy can all be part of the family photographs. A newborn session moves gently and slowly, leaving room for feeds, cuddles and settling the baby between pictures.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Willesden Green, FAQs
Yes, and it is worth insisting on, because parents are so often the ones missing from the family album. Guided posing places you with the children rather than behind them, and a few frames of each parent with each child are easy to add once the main group is done.
Both. Outdoors, Willesden Green families can choose Gladstone Park, with its meadows, duck pond and walled garden, or Roundwood Park's Victorian flower gardens.
Every age, from newborn babies to grandparents. Sessions can be built around one stage, such as a new arrival, or include three generations at once, and the plan changes to suit who is coming. Tell us the ages when you book so the running order fits the youngest attention span.
Yes. Inside, the session simply stops for feeds, nappy changes or a wander, and starts again when the child is settled.
Probably not, and that is fine. Toddlers are photographed while they move, play and explore, with a few quick moments of stillness caught along the way. In Gladstone Park the duck pond is a useful distraction that turns a restless child towards the camera for a second or two.

Ideas from our journal for Willesden Green families planning a photo session.
Gladstone Park suits a family session from Willesden Green because it holds several settings in one place: meadows for running about, a walled garden for calmer group frames, a duck pond for small children to watch, and a hill whose view across London gives older relatives a reason to stand still and look outward. The playgrounds are worth knowing about too, as a reward once the posed pictures are done. Roundwood Park offers a more formal alternative, with Victorian flower gardens that make a colourful backdrop behind a seated grandparent. Mapesbury Dell is smaller still, with a pond, lawns and gardens, which helps when the youngest walker cannot go far. Sessions run at the children's pace, so a toddler who needs a snack or a cuddle sets the timetable rather than the clock. Try to arrive with everybody fed and rested, and plan around the baby's nap if there is one. Coordinate colours rather than matching them, keep logos off clothing, and bring wipes and a spare top for the smallest child, since grass and pond edges have a way of finding their way onto clothes.
