Dogs outdoors, cats and rabbits at home, around Northwood
- 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.
- Studio or location: A calm studio portrait in Northwood, or an outdoor session on a favourite walk within about 20 miles.
- Distance from the studio: Measured in a straight line, the studio on The Broadway in Northwood is less than a mile from Northwood, and the drive is a little further.
- To book: 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.
Dogs are photographed on ground they already walk, usually the open ground south of the town rather than deep under the canopy. Cats, rabbits and anything quickly unsettled stay indoors at home. Moor Park, Northwood Hills and Rickmansworth are covered from here as well.
What decides a pet session is exposing for the coat rather than for the scene. A dark dog metered off the whole frame comes out as a shape with no face in it, so the exposure is set on the animal and the background is left to take care of itself. Coat colour therefore picks the location as much as the owner does.

Great customer service and very professional. I booked a family photo session with him for a Sunday evening at 5pm however, got stuck in traffic and couldn't get to the studio until 5:45 pm. He was very patient and waited until we got to there. He was very good at making my daughter smile in all the pictures.
We have been getting our pictures clicked with Mr. Bhatia for many years now, he is very reliable, excellent at his job and he is great with kids as well! I'd really recommend his services.
We had a family photo session with grandparents, parents sons and our dog too. Mr Bathia is good humoured, he got the best out of all of us and took some great photos.
What we offer
Pet photography in Northwood
Older and nervous pets
Older and anxious animals get a shorter session at home, ending when the animal has had enough.
Pets with their owners
Owners included in a few frames if you want them, and the set arrives ready to print large.
Why choose us
A pet photographer covering Northwood
We work down at the dog's eye line and let the animal set the speed, in short spells with rests between them. Food and a favourite toy are for you to bring; the odd noises and the waiting about are our department.
You get a retouched selection in colour and monochrome, including one frame of the animal on its own. The local advantage is real here: a dog with no interest in settling today can come back next week and nobody counts the trip.

Walks and open ground around Northwood for your pet
A dog session outdoors in Northwood would be built around open space where your pet can sniff, run and settle, and the places below are the obvious starting points. Every note on these Northwood spaces condenses a council or reference page, and the link sits beneath it.
- Dogs and play areas in Hillingdon parks. The same Hillingdon order makes it an offence to fail to take a dog straight back out of a children's play area in any of the borough's parks and green spaces, and owners must clear up after their dogs. 1
- Dog leads near roads in Hillingdon. Under Hillingdon Council's Parks and Public Places Public Spaces Protection Order, in force from 1 May 2025 for three years, dogs must be on a lead on any pavement within 3 metres of a road, and walking more than four dogs at once needs a council licence. 2
- Northwood Recreation Ground on Chestnut Avenue, Northwood HA6 1HR, passed to what is now Hillingdon Council in 1913 and has a children's playground, cricket pitch, tennis courts, outdoor gym and ball court. 3
- Oxhey Woods Local Nature Reserve. Oxhey Woods, a 100-hectare woodland north-east of Northwood and the largest Local Nature Reserve in Three Rivers, has a one-kilometre firm-surfaced circular walk and several longer trails, with its car park at Prestwick Road and Oxhey Drive (nearest postcode HA5 3YA). 4

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Northwood, FAQs
Kaushik Bathia has 25+ years behind the camera, and pet sessions are built around the animal rather than the clock. Dogs, cats, horses and small pets of every age and temperament are welcome, and anxious animals are given time to settle first.
Almost nothing. Take a lively dog for a walk first, and skip a big meal beforehand, since a slightly hungry pet pays more attention to treats. Leave the coaxing and the timing to us.
Please do. Something familiar from home, a toy or a handful of treats, relaxes your pet and helps us hold its attention. When you visit us from Greater London, know that we bring plenty of our own too, plus squeaky toys and a range of very silly noises.
You get an online gallery of edited photographs of your pet, in colour and monochrome. Prints, framed pictures and canvases can be ordered from it for your walls. The gallery follows soon after, so there is not a long wait to see your pet.
Yes. Northwood sits on the London and Hertfordshire boundary, so we work in both directions from here as routine and nothing in Greater London falls outside the usual patch. A cat or a rabbit is photographed indoors where it lives, and so is any animal that is old or easily rattled. Dogs go better outdoors, on ground they walk anyway.

A pet photographer near Northwood
Pet sessions start from our studio on Joel Street in Northwood. It sits close to Pinner and Eastcote, which we cover too. For owners in Northwood, a session at home or on your usual walk involves no travel charge.
Closer to the town centre, Northwood Recreation Ground on Chestnut Avenue is a Hillingdon Council park, and the council limits walking to six dogs at a time in the borough's green spaces. The studio's nearest station is Northwood Hills, one stop from Northwood station on the Metropolitan line. For a dog session outdoors we would suggest Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve, entered from Reservoir Road in Ruislip, keeping the running shots to where there is more open sky.
