Family portrait sessions in Winchmore Hill
- What the session includes: 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.
- Where we photograph in Winchmore Hill: Your home or garden, or a park or open space such as Friends Meeting House gardens, Grovelands Park or Broomfield Park. We travel from Northwood, about 14 miles away. Newborn sessions can be photographed at your home, or at the Northwood studio if you prefer.
- Booking: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383, and we will arrange a date and place in Winchmore Hill.
The whole family picture comes first, while patience lasts, followed by smaller groupings and free play. Kaushik keeps the direction light and uses games to bring out real laughter, so the gallery feels like your family rather than a formal sitting.
Next comes an online gallery to browse as a family, choosing favourites without anyone hurrying you. Those favourites receive natural retouching and arrive as files, or as prints, frames, canvases and albums to keep at home and give to relatives.

In one word "AWESOME" We arranged a family photo shoot for six, four children and two adults.. the whole family was made to feel very comfortable (even allowing a change of clothes from smart to casual) and the children although apprehensive at first (being children) were literally in hysterics by the time we left... would definitely HIGHLY RECOMMEND and use again when everyones a little older...
Fantastic photographer . Relaxed atmosphere and even made my young children laugh and look at the camera ( which they normally don’t do ) . Amazing results ! Would highly recommend.
Kaushik is an amazing guy, and took lovely family photos when requested. I would definitely recommend him!

Family Photographer in Winchmore Hill, FAQs

Chosen images are retouched naturally and delivered as files, with prints, frames and albums available to order.
Yes, we offer exactly that. Families around Winchmore Hill can book a series covering the first twelve months, starting with newborn photographs and moving through sitting up and standing to a first birthday cake smash. Put together, those sessions show how fast a baby changes in that first year.
Get in touch during pregnancy to plan a date.
A few gently directed group shots make sure everyone is in frame and looking their best, then the session relaxes into play and conversation, where the most natural moments happen. On the open lawns of Grovelands Park, a race or a swing between parents produces genuine laughter that no pose can match.
Yes, and those pictures are often treasured. Older siblings are photographed first, with plenty of praise, so they feel important rather than overshadowed. Then they are guided into holding or cuddling the baby safely, with a parent always within reach.

It sits close to Palmers Green and Southgate, which we cover too.
Winchmore Hill's historic Green, framed by Georgian and Victorian houses in a conservation area, makes a gentle backdrop for a family walk and photographs. Its quiet, village-like pace within zone 4 is well suited to small children who need time to settle. Relatives can come in on Great Northern trains to Winchmore Hill station from King's Cross and Moorgate, though the platforms cannot be reached without steps.

Our journal has advice on outfits, timing and children's moods for families booking in Winchmore Hill.
Grovelands Park is the natural first choice for a family session in Winchmore Hill. Its Repton landscape rolls down towards a boating lake, giving long, open views for a group picture and shady spots under the trees for close-ups with little ones. Neighbouring Broomfield Park in Palmers Green, which opened to the public in 1903 and has eighteenth-century ponds, is a good alternative if you fancy a change of scene. The village Green itself works for a few relaxed pictures of the family walking together, especially early in the day before the shops get busy. Plan the session for the time your children are usually at their happiest, not the time the light looks prettiest in a magazine, and pack snacks, wipes and a spare layer. The complete group is photographed first, then smaller combinations such as siblings together or a grandparent with a grandchild, then freer play. Arranging everyone in depth rather than in a long line keeps faces close together and evenly lit. Every generation is welcome, and the children set the pace.
