Pet sessions in Barnet, for animals and owners
- Included in the session: A calm sitting for dogs, cats and other pets, led by the animal's temperament rather than a rigid plan, with fine-art prints, framed pieces or canvases to order from the favourites.
- Where we photograph in Barnet: Your home or garden, or a walk at Monken Hadley Common, Hampstead Heath Extension and Golders Hill Park or Totteridge Fields Nature Reserve. We travel from Northwood, about 9 miles away. A sitting at the Northwood studio is also possible if you would rather.
- 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 Barnet.
A dog session in Barnet would be walked, not arranged. Oak Hill Park in East Barnet, crossed by Pymme's Brook, could give a confident animal room to explore and an anxious one quieter edges to stay near us, and dog sessions in Finchley, Whetstone and Mill Hill would follow the same approach.
Be straight with us about recall. A long line trailing outside the frame costs nothing at all and takes away the single genuine risk. A dog that worries about bikes or traffic gets photographed in the quieter reaches of the park instead. Anything else that unsettles them is useful to hear at the booking stage.

Kaushik is a fantastic photographer and has captured some superb family memories for us! Great service with high quality, professional images.
Not the first time we have used his services. Excellent with kids and achieves a perfect smile from them. Fantastic experience. Very pleased.
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...

Why book with us
A session runs about forty-five minutes, which outlasts most dogs' patience, so it is split into short spells with rests between them. Bring whatever food genuinely interests them, not the everyday stuff. A towel and some water waiting in the car help.
Dark-coated animals are the case that alters the method. Light is placed behind or off to one side, which puts a rim along the coat and holds detail in the face rather than letting the whole thing collapse into a shape.

Barnet woods, heaths and parks for a pet session
A Barnet pet session outdoors would start somewhere your animal can explore safely, with leads and no-go areas respected. Every note below links to the published source it comes from, dog rules included. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Hampstead Heath dog rules. The City of London's Hampstead Heath byelaws require dogs to be under proper control, kept on a lead where signs say so, and kept out of areas and ponds where notices ban them. 1
- Totteridge Fields Nature Reserve. Totteridge Fields, a 7-hectare nature reserve of ancient hay meadows off Hendon Wood Lane, managed by the London Wildlife Trust under lease from Barnet Council, asks visitors to keep dogs on a lead because cattle graze the meadows. 2
- Scratchwood in Mill Hill is a 57-hectare country park and Local Nature Reserve of ancient sessile oak and hornbeam woodland, bought by Hendon Urban District Council in 1923 and crossed by the London Loop. 3
- The Dollis Valley Greenwalk is a path of about 10 miles that mainly follows the Dollis Brook through Barnet from Moat Mount in Mill Hill to Hampstead Heath, mainly flat and partly surfaced south of Woodside Park. 4

Pet Photographer in Barnet, FAQs
Sooner than you might expect. We edit promptly, so the wait is short. Once your edited gallery is ready you can view it, share it and choose favourites, and we can help with prints, frames or canvases.
Of course you can. Pictures of you and your animal together are worth including, perhaps on a walk along the Pymmes Brook Trail. You can be in the frame with your pet or just out of shot, keeping them calm and looking towards the camera.
Both, and the animal makes the choice. A dog is nearly always better served outside, around Barnet, on ground it knows, since familiar scent calms one faster than any coaxing indoors will. Rabbits, cats and elderly dogs short on stamina do better at Northwood, where light stays constant and nobody ends up chasing anything across a field.
Certainly. We can photograph two or more pets from the same Barnet home, both as a group and individually. A cat and a dog in the same session is fine, though catching both at the right moment takes patience. It helps to bring one extra person for each animal.

A pet photographer near Barnet
On location we travel to Barnet and nearby areas such as Finchley, Whetstone and Mill Hill for pet sessions. It sits close to Enfield and Brent, which we cover too. For a pet session in Barnet, travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
On the Hampstead Heath Extension and in Golders Hill Park, which lie within Barnet and are managed by the City of London Corporation, byelaws require dogs to be under proper control and on a lead where signs say so. Monken Hadley Common, about 72 hectares of oak, hornbeam and beech woodland left from the royal forest of Enfield Chase, would give a dog on a long line plenty to explore. For a dog session we would suggest Oak Hill Park in East Barnet, where Pymme's Brook runs through the park and part of it is the Oak Hill Wood Local Nature Reserve.
