Your pet photographer in North Finchley
- What the session includes: 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 we photograph in North Finchley: Your home or garden, or a walk at Friary Park, Swan Lane Open Space or Dollis Valley Greenwalk. We travel from Northwood, about 10 miles away. If you would ever rather come to us, the Northwood studio is an option.
- How to book: Call 07956 505383, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or use the enquiry form on this page.
A pet session for a North Finchley household captures your animal's personality, whether bouncy, gentle or wonderfully stubborn.
Owners can join the frames or stay behind the camera, and every session runs at the pace your pet sets. If an animal needs a long break halfway through, that is simply taken.

Had a wonderful experience at Kaushik Bathia photography. He was really patient with my kids , encouraging them to smile while always looking for the best angle to make the photos great.
We had a fun and relaxing family photoshoot. Kaushik managed to make us all at ease and smile, especially our 1 yr old son. He was very efficient, professional and friendly. We viewed the beautiful images promptly, without any pressurised selling. Can't wait to receive the photos. Thanks for the great photoshoot!
Took brilliant pictures this year for me and my family! and even before hand 16 years ago took very professional pictures hence why we came back!

Why choose us
Why book us in North Finchley
Kaushik gives each pet time to explore before photographing, then uses treats, toys and sounds to catch attentive expressions in short bursts. Outdoors, movement shots along a path or across grass follow the quieter portraits.
You view an online gallery afterwards and choose favourites without pressure. Retouching stays light, removing a lead clip or a muddy smudge while keeping markings and character. Your pet's pictures are supplied for web and print, and you can order albums, canvases, frames or prints.

Pet Photographer in North Finchley, FAQs
Give your pet a decent walk or play session beforehand, so excess energy is spent, and avoid a large meal just before. Brush the coat, wipe the eyes and bring a clean lead or harness. Pack treats it really loves, a favourite toy that makes a noise, water and a towel for wet ground along the Dollis Brook.
Yes. At about 10 miles from Northwood, North Finchley is well inside the roughly 20-mile radius used for location pet sessions. The Dollis Valley Greenwalk, Friary Park and Swan Lane Open Space in Whetstone are all nearby; check any rules for animals before choosing.
Mostly by slowing down. Your pet gets time to explore the space and sniff the camera before anything starts. Kaushik works quietly, avoids sudden movements and keeps bursts of photographing short, with breaks for water and treats.
Yes, and those pictures tend to mean the most in years to come. Wear plain colours that contrast with your pet's coat, so a black dog is not lost against a black jumper.
An online gallery of the session, from which you choose favourites at your own pace. The frames you pick get a light retouch and are supplied ready for the web and ready for print.
