  • Studio or location: The Northwood studio suits composed pets, and energetic dogs can go to a park or a familiar walk within about 20 miles.
  • How far: Harrow is about 3 miles from the Northwood studio as the crow flies, and the studio is two minutes' walk from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.

Dog sessions for Harrow would take place on the recreation ground below the hill, with any off-lead time kept within the park's rules, and Sudbury, Kenton and West Harrow are covered the same way. Cats and rabbits we photograph indoors at your address, since moving them anywhere costs more than it gains.

Coat tone decides the hour more than anything else. A pale dog holds its detail in bright light but disappears against dry pale grass; a dark one wants the sun low or the sky fully overcast, or the face goes solid. Tell us the colour when you book and the time gets set around it.

Amazing service from Mr Kaushik Bathia. He is very professional, friendly and helpful. He made the family photoshoot a funny and pleasant experience. We highly recommend him! Thank you.

Elena H., Google review, 2024

We had a family shoot at the studio, Kaushik took some wonderful photos. He was excellent with the kids and was very good at making them smile naturally, the end results were brilliant. We purchased a canvas and 2 further large framed photos. All completed on time and to perfection. Very pleased.

What we offer

Pet photography in Harrow

01

Cats and small animals

Open ground below the hill for dogs, indoors at your address for cats and the smaller pets.

02

Dark coats done properly

Timed around coat colour so a dark face keeps its detail instead of collapsing into one flat shape.

03

Older and nervous pets

Nervous and elderly animals worked slowly, from further back, on level ground they already know well.

Why choose us

Pet sessions for Harrow owners

The session is led by the dog. We stay put and let it come to us, work down at its height, and use whatever it already responds to, which is usually a ball rather than us calling its name.

Expect thirty to forty minutes, because most dogs have nothing left after that and a tired animal stops looking like itself. You get an edited set, and a long line is painted out of any frame it appears in, so caution during the session costs you nothing in the pictures.

Harrow parks and dog rules for a pet session

Below are Harrow parks and grounds with space for a dog to explore, plus the borough's rules on dogs in public spaces. Dog rules can change, so check the linked council page for each place before the day.

  • Dog rules in Harrow's parks. Harrow's borough-wide Public Spaces Protection Order covers controlling and clearing up after dogs, and walking more than four dogs at a time requires the council's permission. 1
  • Dog-free areas and proper control in Harrow. Harrow's borough-wide order bans letting a dog enter an area where a council notice says dogs are not allowed, and defines proper control as a dog on a lead, at heel or responding immediately to voice commands. 2
  • Byron Recreation Ground on Stuart Road, next to Harrow Leisure Centre and named after Lord Byron, allows dogs with some dog-free zones and has a skate park and a playground for younger children. 3
  • Harrow Recreation Ground is a Green Flag park reached from Harrow-on-the-Hill station, with access from Beresford Road, Hindes Road, Pinner Road and Roxborough Road, and is home to Harrow Bowls Club. 4

Good to know

Pet Photographer in Harrow, FAQs

That is no problem. We let a lively dog play and photograph it in the pauses, when its expression settles for a second. In a park like Harrow Recreation Ground, an energetic dog has room to run, which gives the chance of action frames too. Stillness is not needed for a good portrait; a dog mid-run on open grass can give the best frame of the day.

Both. Dogs are almost always better outdoors on the open ground below the hill, where there is room to move and something to chase. The Northwood room suits cats, small animals, and any dog that finds strangers and open space hard work. If the rain sets in for the day, an outdoor booking moves indoors rather than being cancelled outright.

The studio room is at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6, near Northwood Hills station. For pet work in Harrow the address matters less than it does for anything else, because most dog sessions happen outdoors and we meet you there. The studio is what we use for cats and smaller animals, for a dog that will not settle outside, and when the rain sets in for the day.

Yes. Horses are always photographed at the yard where they are kept rather than brought anywhere, so the session gets built around turnout and feed times instead of around the light. A dark coat wants the hour after sunrise or the hour before the light goes. The yard's own ground, its surfaces and its space decide what is actually possible, so we walk it first.

Yes, and Sudbury, Kenton and West Harrow too. Tell us the coat colour and how reliable the recall is when you book, because both change the plan. Bring the ball or toy that works, plus treats, and skip a big meal beforehand. Allow thirty to forty minutes of photography. If the roads make you uneasy, say so and the whole session stays on the line.

A pet photographer near Harrow

Harrow is a short drive from Northwood, whether your dog is walked in the town centre parks or out towards Headstone Manor Park. It sits close to Rayners Lane and Harrow Weald, which we cover too. Meeting you at a Harrow park costs nothing extra in travel, as the town is only a few miles from Northwood.

Canons Park, a Grade II registered park near Canons Park station with ponds and a café, is another open space in the borough we would suggest for a dog session. Harrow's borough-wide Public Spaces Protection Order requires dogs to be kept under control and cleared up after, and walking more than four dogs at once needs the council's permission, so mention a multi-dog household when you book. When a session suits an outdoor setting, Harrow Recreation Ground below the hill is one option.

At the studio

A quiet room in Northwood for smaller pets

For a cat, a rabbit or a nervous dog, the studio at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU is about 3.5 miles from Harrow. Pet sittings there are booked ahead, like portrait and family sessions, and finished prints are framed on site. Passport and ID pictures are taken there too. Studio sessions for cats and small animals run within opening hours, 10:30 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday and 13:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.

Call 07956 505383 Get directions

Every pet session, indoors or out, is photographed by Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, who founded the Northwood studio in 2001 and has five European Kodak Gold Awards.
