Not the first time we have used his services. Excellent with kids and achieves a perfect smile from them. Fantastic experience. Very pleased.
…With 5 children aged between 2 and 7, the youngest of whom had just been woken up when we arrived and subsequently mainly wanted Mummy cuddles, it was very lucky for us that he was also very personable, and good at getting the little ones (and adults!) to smile/laugh naturally while looking at the camera!
Kaushik Has magical touches!! We did a family session and were surprised that we could not find any flaw with circa 200 pictures taken by Kaushik. Kausik is simply amazing , we highly recommend to give job to Kaushik to capture special moments of life !! Well done Kaushik!!

How a pet session runs
Every session follows the animal. Your pet is given time to settle, attention is caught with treats or a noise for the moment of the photograph, and rests come whenever interest fades. You can join some of the pictures or stay out of them entirely. Several pets can share one session.
Afterwards you select favourites from an online gallery, without pressure. Retouching is light so the animal still looks itself, and finished files are web-ready and print-ready, ready to become prints, canvases, framed pieces or an album.
