Studio and outdoor pet photography in Colindale
- 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.
- Studio or on location: The Northwood studio suits composed pets, and energetic dogs can go to a park or a familiar walk within about 20 miles.
- Getting to the studio: Measured in a straight line, the studio on The Broadway in Northwood is about 7 miles from Colindale, and the drive is a little further.
- How to book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
The session begins by letting your pet explore and settle. Treats, toys and a few silly noises bring the ears up and the eyes towards the lens, and there are breaks whenever the animal needs them. Nobody forces a pose.
Your edited pet images go into an online gallery, and you pick favourites whenever you are ready. Fur is retouched lightly so your pet still looks like your pet, and the chosen images come ready for print and screen, with canvases and frames to order.

I was nervous about how my 2 year old would react, but we had a great photo session! Kaushik had plenty of props to keep my son entertained, laughing, and happily posing.Afterward, he was incredibly patient as we went through every single photo to pick our favorites, even though we kept changing our minds. I highly recommend his service and will definitely be back once my second baby is born!
We had a large family photoshoot to do which can always be tricky. Kaushik was absolutely fantastic with a myriad of toys and noises to get smiles out of the little ones (they are still talking about the mouse on a stick!). Kaushik took the various different combinations we wanted and positioned each one expertly.
Amazing experience with Kaushik photography. Pictures came out very high quality. The studio is also very nice and family friendly. The photographer there took his time to capture very memorable detail and that meant a lot to my family and I. I’ll definitely recommend Kaushik Bathia

Yes. When your favourite frames are picked from the online gallery, you can order them as prints, frames, canvases or albums. A single canvas of your pet works well above a fireplace or sofa, while a set of smaller framed prints suits a hallway. Your chosen images also arrive as digital files sized for screens and for printing.
Yes. Pet sessions can include the whole household, from children to grandparents. Starting with the animal alone, then adding one person at a time, keeps everything calm. Around Colindale, open spaces such as Colindale Park give room for a family and its dog to move about between frames.
Yes. Sessions can be with or without owners, and the pictures of you with your pet are often the ones you will value most. Darker, plain clothing works well with most coats, and a lint roller in your bag is a good idea before you step into the frame.
Of course. Kaushik travels to horses and ponies at the stable or field, while smaller companions such as rabbits and guinea pigs are photographed in the studio. Every animal is handled with patience and calm, so its character comes through without any hurry or upset.

Pet sessions for Colindale owners can make good use of the district's green corridor. The Silk Stream runs through the area, linking a run of open spaces including Montrose Playing Fields, Silkstream Park, Colindale Park and Heybourne Park, where the pond gives a calm, natural background. A dog that likes open ground will relax quickly on the playing fields, and a long lens lets it run towards the camera without anyone chasing it. For pets that find busy spaces stressful, pick an early weekday slot, when there are fewer people and other animals about, or come to the studio. The studio at The Broadway in Northwood Hills is about 7 miles from Colindale, with parking close by, and suits cats, rabbits and older animals who are calmer indoors on a soft rug than outdoors in a breeze. Sessions run at the animal's pace, with breaks whenever they are needed, and owners can be in the frame or stay behind the lens. Bring the treats your pet works hardest for, a toy that squeaks, a lead in a colour that will not dominate the picture and a brush for a quick tidy between frames. Light-coloured coats look their best on an overcast day, when there is no harsh sun to bleach out the fur detail, so a grey sky is no reason to cancel.
