- What the session includes: A patient, treat-friendly session where your pet sets the pace, with or without you in the frame, and the chosen portraits finished as prints, framed pieces or canvases if you want them on the wall.
- Where we photograph in Haringey: Your home or garden, or a walk at Alexandra Park, Finsbury Park or Priory Park. We travel from Northwood, about 13 miles away. A sitting at the Northwood studio is also possible if you would rather.
- How to book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
The lead comes off only where that is safe and only if recall is honest; otherwise a trailing line goes on and gets painted out afterwards, which nobody can see in the finished picture.
A session runs to about ninety minutes, which is more than most dogs will give in concentration, so the last part is loose and unposed. Edited images arrive in a gallery within two weeks.

I took my elderly parents to have photos path the grandchildren. The whole experience from photo shoot to choosing and picking up the photos was amazing. Kaushik was polite helpful and friendly and made all the kids and my elderly parents feel comfortable. They all enjoyed the experience and the photos were amazing. He even delivered them home on Christmas Eve!
I went into the photoshoot with reservations, as I wasn’t sure how well my youngest child (3 years) would be in a photoshoot situation. As soon as walking into the shoot and seeing how Kaushik interacted with the little ones, I was immediately put at ease. He amazingly kept my child smiling and laughing for an hour, where I can’t seem to manage to do for 30 seconds!
Beautiful family photos, everyone was made to feel comfortable and relaxed so we got lovely photos with everyone smiling and happy. Photographs are beautiful. Thank you!
What we offer
Pet photography in Haringey
Safe on a long line
Trailing lines and clips are edited out, so a dog with shaky recall still looks free.
Paced for the animal
Each session is led by the animal, not by a shot list, and stops the moment it stops enjoying itself.

Shutter noise startles some animals, so the first exposures are made from across the room, letting a dog associate the sound with a treat rather than a surprise. Owners are welcome in the pictures too, relaxed and unposed alongside their animal.
A family portrait with the pet included puts everyone, on four legs or two, in the same frame. If your dog already has a favourite walk in Haringey, we would start the session there, where it tends to be most relaxed.

Haringey parks and woods for dogs and their owners
Outdoors, a pet session would begin somewhere with safe ground, away from traffic, and within any lead or dog-free rules the park sets. These Haringey parks and woods are summarised from council and venue pages, with dog-free areas noted where the source mentions them. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Finsbury Park opened in 1869 to a design by Alexander McKenzie and has held a Green Flag Award every year since 2007. 1
- Crouch End Clock Tower. The red-brick Clock Tower on Crouch End Broadway, designed by Frederick Knight, was unveiled on 23 June 1895 as a memorial to Henry Reader Williams, chairman of Hornsey's local authority from 1880 to 1894. 2
- Priory Park, formed from land the Hornsey Local Board bought in 1891, has held a Green Flag Award since 2003 and includes a philosopher's garden that is a dog-free area. 3
- Tottenham Marshes, off Watermead Way, N17, is a Lee Valley Regional Park open space in three main parts, crossed by the River Lee Navigation towpath that runs for nearly 30 miles between Hertford and the Thames. 4

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Haringey, FAQs
Yes, gladly. Photographs of owners with their animals are often the ones people treasure most. Join in the frame if you like, or stand just out of shot to keep your pet calm and looking our way.
Yes. For a Haringey pet session, travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book. A dog session would start at the house so the animal meets us on its own territory, then move to open ground once it has stopped caring that we are there. Cats and smaller animals stay indoors throughout.
Allow about ninety minutes in Haringey, of which perhaps forty are actual photography. The rest is the walk to wherever the lead can safely come off, the settling in, and the pauses when a dog has decided it has had enough. Older animals get less and get it in shorter goes. If your dog tires quickly, say so at booking and we will keep to one location.
You receive a carefully edited set that shows your pet's real character. Prints, framed pictures and canvases can all be ordered from the gallery. The gallery follows quickly, so you are not left waiting long.
Patience is the main tool. We move slowly, speak gently and let your pet set the pace, using treats and play rather than force.

Priory Park, which has held a Green Flag Award since 2003, includes a philosopher's garden that is a dog-free area, so a dog session there would use the rest of the park. It sits close to Enfield and Camden, which we cover too. From our Northwood base we travel to Haringey, about 13 miles away, for pet photography on location.
For a dog that loves space, Alexandra Park covers 196 acres with more than 7,500 trees, and Finsbury Park, opened in 1869, has held a Green Flag Award every year since 2007. Queen's Wood, an ancient oak and hornbeam woodland dating from at least 1600, is one of four ancient woodlands in Haringey and has been a local nature reserve since 1990. For relaxed outdoor photographs around Haringey, Alexandra Park is one option, and Alexandra Palace is a well-known local backdrop.

Haringey offers a dog two very different environments, and only one of them is a place to let it go. Town centres such as Wood Green are full of traffic, so anything off the lead would happen in a park such as Alexandra Park, and the walk in between counts as a walk rather than as part of the session: an animal that has just come through busy streets needs ten minutes of sniffing before it stops treating us as one more thing to keep an eye on. The slope is the one piece of terrain that helps. Standing downhill of a dog brings the camera level with its head while we are still upright, and it lets a recall be photographed coming towards the lens rather than crossing flat ground sideways. Coat colour then decides which way we face. A black or very dark dog put on the ridge with the city behind it renders as an outline with no eyes in it, so dark coats are worked below the skyline against grass, with the light over our shoulder. Pale and sandy coats want the opposite: the duller half of the day, before the sun starts burning the detail out of them. The boating lake is useful mainly as a drinking stop and as a spot where a dog will hold still for a moment, though the churned mud at its edge in winter is real. Anxious dogs and stiff old ones do better at home on streets they already know.
