A family photographer for Yiewsley
- What is included: A relaxed session of usually about an hour, led by the children's mood, with a private online gallery afterwards and the option of prints, framed wall art or a hand-finished album.
- Studio or location: Either the Northwood studio, which works whatever the weather, or a park or garden within about 20 miles.
- How far: Measured in a straight line, the studio on The Broadway in Northwood is about 7 miles from Yiewsley, and the drive is a little further.
- Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 18:00, Sunday 13:00 to 18:00), or leave your details in the form below.
The whole group is photographed early, while everyone is fresh, and then the session loosens into smaller combinations: siblings, parents together, a grandparent with the youngest. Guided posing keeps it simple for those who feel awkward in front of a lens.
You view the online gallery afterwards and choose favourites at your own speed. Your Yiewsley family gallery is supplied ready for screens and for printing, with albums, framed prints and canvases available for your own walls or as presents for grandparents.

I would highly recommend Northwood Hills Studio. We have been been capturing our favourite family portraits since 2004. Always great fun, yet very professional. The printed results are great and we will keep coming back.
Fantastic service, Kaushik captured some amazing shots of our family. He is patient, professional, friendly and creative which really helps when trying to get pictures with young children. You never feel rushed and the final product will be something we cherish for years to come. This was our second time with Kaushik and we will be going back again. We have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Kaushik!
…The gentleman took my family and I last minute for a photoshoot. Although we were running extremely late as we had a newborn, he waited patiently for us. He initially said he could only do 30 minutes because we were late but he ended up spending the entire hour and some minutes making sure we had the best photos.

Why choose us
Patience with little ones in Yiewsley
Yiewsley families can pick a time that fits around naps and feeds, so babies and toddlers arrive rested and content. The children set the pace, so the laughter you see in the pictures is real rather than coaxed through stiff poses.
Most family sittings produce a blend of whole group pictures, unplanned moments and a portrait or two of each child on their own. Favourite family frames can become framed prints, canvases, wall pieces or a fine-art album to pass down.

Good to know
Family Photographer in Yiewsley, FAQs
Yes. The studio sits on The Broadway in Northwood Hills with parking close by, so getting a buggy and a changing bag in is straightforward. Sessions run at the children's pace with time for feeds, snacks and breaks, and the controlled warmth and light make it far easier with babies than a cold park.
Kaushik Bathia is a Fellow of the BIPP and the MPA, the studio has been established since 2001, and its work has won five European Kodak Gold Awards. Parents in Yiewsley can check the studio's 4.8 rating from 580+ Google reviews before they book. For Yiewsley families it is about 7 miles away, with outdoor options at Stockley Country Park too.
Speak to the studio about planning a run of sessions through the first year, such as a newborn sitting followed by later visits as your baby learns to sit up and then to stand. What can be arranged, and the prices, are given on request by phone or WhatsApp, so you can decide what suits you.
Yes. Newborns are welcome, and for the first few weeks the studio is usually the gentlest setting, because it can be kept warm and quiet. It is about 7 miles from Yiewsley, with parking near the door. If the baby is better off at home, a Yiewsley house sits well inside the roughly 20 miles that location sessions cover.
There is no stopwatch on a family session, because it runs at the children's pace, with breaks for snacks, feeds and the occasional wobble. The likely length depends on the number of people and the ages of the youngest, so it is agreed when you book. Ask by phone or WhatsApp if timing matters.

Families in Yiewsley have a useful mix of places for an outdoor session. Yiewsley Recreation Ground on Falling Lane is compact and has a sensory garden and a children's playground, which means a toddler who needs a break has something nearby to reset with before the next set of pictures. Stockley Country Park is the bigger canvas: lakes, open grass and thousands of trees and shrubs give long backgrounds that separate a family from the clutter of houses and traffic. The canal towpath works for a short walking sequence, though small children and water need a firm hand. Hillingdon Council requires permission for professional photography in its parks, family shoots included, so the paperwork comes before the session rather than after. Plan the group picture for the first ten minutes, while everyone is fresh and clean, and let the looser running about follow. Dress the family in two or three colours that sit comfortably together and avoid big logos. For a newborn, a winter date or a grandparent who would rather sit in the warm, the studio at Northwood Hills is the better choice. It is about 7 miles from Yiewsley, has parking close by, and is open Monday to Saturday from 10:30 to 18:00 and on Sunday afternoons from 13:00.
