Dog, cat and small-animal photography in Kings Langley
- 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.
- Where it happens: A calm studio portrait in Northwood, or an outdoor session on a favourite walk within about 20 miles.
- Getting to the studio: Kings Langley is about 8 miles from the Northwood studio as the crow flies, and the studio is two minutes' walk from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.
- Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 18:00, Sunday 13:00 to 18:00), or leave your details in the form below.
Dog sessions around Kings Langley are outdoor work, and the ground governs everything. The canal towpath is for dogs that stay roughly where they are put; the Gade valley meadows are for the ones that do not. Cats, and any pet that does not do car journeys, are done indoors at your house. Chipperfield, Hunton Bridge and Apsley are covered as well.
Two answers set the booking rather than our diary: whether your dog is trustworthy near water, and what the ground has been doing all week. Both questions get asked when you book, which is why a pet date here tends to be confirmed later than the rest of them.

I attended Northwood Hills Studio-Kaushik Bathia photography with my family and I had the most amazing time. My family was made to feel extremely relaxed and welcomed, and the result was some fabulous images He was organised and professional and kept everything stress free. A very enjoyable day out with fantastic photos as a result.
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

Why choose us
Patience that shows in Kings Langley
Whatever your dog would cross a meadow for, bring it, along with someone it likes standing behind us. Most of the work happens from knee height or lower, in whatever state the field is in.
The end of a session is the dog's call and not the clock's, which is not negotiable, because a bored dog photographs exactly as bored. What arrives afterwards is an edited set, and we leave in the ones where the ears went entirely wrong. Owners want those.

Kings Langley green spaces for dogs and their owners
For a dog session outdoors we would look for ground where the animal can explore safely, away from roads, and keep the lead on anywhere near the water. Below are open spaces and landmarks around Kings Langley where a dog walk and photographs could be combined, each summarised from a published source.
- The Common. Kings Langley Parish Council describes the Common as a large green area offering countryside walks, alongside canal-side walks from the village. 1
- Hemel Hempstead Water Gardens. The Water Gardens in Hemel Hempstead town centre were designed by landscape architect G.A. Jellicoe using the River Gade, and have been restored with a new play area and picnic space. 2
- Chipperfield Common, maintained by Dacorum Borough Council with Chipperfield Parish Council, is mostly secondary woodland on former heath with ponds, two Bronze Age burial mounds and 17th-century trees, and dogs are welcome. 3
- Cassiobury Park in Watford covers 190 acres with the Grand Union Canal running through it, splash-pad paddling pools and a refurbished play area, and has both dog-free and dogs-welcome zones. 4

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Kings Langley, FAQs
Certainly. We can photograph two or more pets from the same Kings Langley home, both as a group and individually. A cat and a dog in the same frame is perfectly possible; it just needs patience to catch both looking the right way. Bringing one helper for each animal makes the session much easier.
Yes. Those first weeks pass quickly, and a short session records them before the puppy or kitten grows out of them. Young animals get short, playful bursts with time to explore, ideally at home where they already feel safe.
Almost nothing. A good walk beforehand calms a lively dog, and holding back a meal until afterwards makes treats far more persuasive. Bring a beloved toy along to Kings Langley, and let your animal be itself.
We can. Horses are done at the yard itself, never brought out to us, so the sitting is arranged around whatever the yard's routine leaves free once turnout and feeding are accounted for. Dark coats need the soft ends of the day, so we would take the first or the last slot on offer. Its surfaces, and the state of the field, settle what else is possible. Kings Langley is covered.
Yes. A black cat or a dark dog is a lovely challenge, and the studio lighting is set so every detail of the coat and eyes shows. White and pale coats get equal attention, so fur keeps its texture rather than washing out.

A pet photographer near Kings Langley
Kings Langley sits on the River Gade, which divides the village between Dacorum and Three Rivers, and our Northwood studio is a short drive away. It sits close to Abbots Langley and Chalfont St Peter, which we cover too. Your dog can be photographed at the studio, at home or out on the canal towpath in Kings Langley, and we make no travel charge for the village.
For a dog session we would suggest the Common, which the Parish Council describes as a large green area with countryside walks, or the towpath of the Grand Union Canal, which has run through the village since 1797. Sessions on location near Kings Langley can use The Grand Union Canal towpath and the surrounding Gade valley meadows.

At the studio
Visiting our studio from Kings Langley
Our studio at The Broadway, 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU is about an 8 mile drive from Kings Langley, which suits pets who travel well. Pet and portrait sittings there run by appointment, and printing, framing and restoration are all done in house. Pet sittings in the Northwood studio can be booked Monday to Saturday from 10:30 to 18:00 or Sunday from 13:00, and for a nervous animal we would suggest the first slot of the day.
Pet sessions are photographed by Kaushik Bathia personally, an FBIPP and FMPA who opened the Northwood studio in 2001 and has five European Kodak Gold Awards.
