Serving Hayes
Pet sessions happen wherever the animal copes best, which around Hayes could mean the lawns at Barra Hall Park for dogs and your own front room for everything else. Yeading, Harlington and Hayes End are covered too, and we travel to the animal rather than asking a nervous one to travel to us.
The single most useful thing to tell us is how it behaves around strangers. A dog that hides behind your legs gets photographed differently from one that jumps at everybody, and knowing which is arriving means the opening ten minutes go on letting it get bored of us.

We had a family photo shoot, 11 people in toto. Great experience, lots of fun and laughter had during the session, resulting in some great pictures 😀
Had a lovely experience with the family photo shoot. Friendly man made us feel very comfortable and took some amazing shots
Me and my family had a photo shoot here and I must say Kaushik did a fantastic job. We went to review the photos and they were really good. We will treasure these memories forever.
What we offer
Dogs photographed on the lawns at Barra Hall Park, cats and rabbits at home where they settle.
Nervous animals get their first ten minutes with no camera raised at all. That time is well spent.
Older and stiffer animals are photographed indoors, on the floor, with nothing whatsoever asked of them.
Local and experienced
We work down at whatever height the animal happens to be, kneeling or flat out on the grass, because anything shot from standing shows more skull than face and reads as a photograph of a passer by.
Sessions go in bursts and finish when the animal has had enough rather than when the clock says so. You get an edited set, highlights cleaned off a wet nose, and no frame kept where the animal looks harassed. Nothing is forced for the sake of a shot list.

Recent work
Hayes has country parks and a formal park within a short drive, and the notes below cover where a dog could explore on a lead between photographs. The park and council notes are summarised from published sources, with a link to each so you can check dog rules for yourself.

Good to know
Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, young puppies and kittens, and more besides. We happily photograph almost any pet for owners across Greater London, and we are always glad to discuss an unusual one before booking. Each one gets the same patience and a quick shutter finger.
Absolutely. Time is what a nervous cat needs, and we allow plenty of it. Whether at the studio or in your home in Hayes, we keep the room quiet, let the cat explore at its own pace and start only once it is curious. A timid cat shows its character once it has decided we are harmless.
Yes. Hayes sits in the London Borough of Hillingdon and forms part of our normal run, as do Yeading, Harlington and Hayes End. Most pet sessions happen at your address or on ground the animal already knows, so coming to you is the default rather than an extra. Tell us where the animal is happiest and that is where we start.
Because we say in advance exactly what the session will be. Barra Hall Park early in the day, meeting at the gate, forty minutes on the lawns while the paths are still quiet. Bring the squeakiest toy in the house and something the animal genuinely works for; we hold both and use them for eye contact. If it goes badly, we come back again.
Yes, and we enjoy it. A very dark pet is a rewarding challenge, and we light one so the coat and eyes keep all their detail. Pale and white coats get the same attention, so they keep their texture rather than burning out.
Serving Hayes
Hayes sits about 7 miles from our Northwood studio, well inside the area we cover. It sits close to Hillingdon and Uxbridge, which we cover too. We photograph pets at the studio, at home or in a park in Hayes, and do not charge for travel there.
Hillingdon Council limits dog walking to six dogs at a time in its green spaces and asks that professional photography there has its permission, which we would request before an outdoor session. For more room to roam, Minet Country Park covers 36 hectares of the former Coldharbour Estate, and Stockley Country Park has footpaths, bridleways and canal-side paths. For relaxed outdoor photographs around Hayes, Barra Hall Park is one option, and Barra Hall is a well-known local backdrop.

At the studio
For animals that settle better indoors, the studio is at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, about 7 miles from Hayes. Calm animals can be photographed there by appointment, alongside our portrait, family and headshot sittings, and the studio also handles passport photos, printing, framing, restoration and digitising. Calm pets can visit the studio by appointment during opening hours, 10:30 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday and 13:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.
Pet sessions around Hayes are photographed by Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, whose Northwood studio opened in 2001 and whose work has earned five European Kodak Gold Awards.
