Beautiful pet portraits in Queen's Park
- What is included: Time for your pet to settle before the session starts, treats and familiar toys to catch the right expression, and a finished set of characterful portraits; prints and canvases are available afterwards.
- Where we photograph in Queen's Park: Your home or garden, or a walk at Paddington Recreation Ground, Queen's Park or Queen's Park Children's Farm and play areas. We travel from Northwood, about 10 miles away. A sitting at the Northwood studio is also possible if you would rather.
- How to book: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383, and we will arrange a date and place in Queen's Park.
Kaushik lets your pet explore and relax first, then works in short bursts using treats, toys and noises to catch alert expressions. Outdoors, running and playing shots follow once the calm portraits are done.
Later, you pick favourites from an online gallery. Retouching is gentle: a stray lead or a spot of mud may go, but markings and greying fur stay. Files arrive ready for the web and for print, and framed prints, canvases and albums can be ordered.

Kaushik is an amazing guy, and took lovely family photos when requested. I would definitely recommend him!
I love his services, he was very very patient even though we got there late he still took his time capturing a very good family pictures. He also gave us time to satisfy our 6months old one in order to capture her great smile despite the fact that it was passed his closing hours. I would definitely recommend him as you won't be disappointed, you will love him.
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!

Pet sessions for Queen's Park owners
A still, dignified portrait and the happy streak of a dog going full tilt are both worth having. We sort light and background before your pet arrives, so the time together goes on play rather than fiddling with equipment.
Your edited gallery follows quickly, so there is little waiting. Several pets at once, mixed cat and dog households and small furry pets can all share one session.

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Queen's Park, FAQs
After the shoot you browse the pictures in an online gallery and pick your favourites without any pressure. The chosen pictures receive light retouching and come as web-ready files to share and print-ready files to frame. Prints, frames, canvases and albums of your pet are available to order if you want something to hang or hold. Prices are available by phone or WhatsApp.
By giving them time. Each session starts with a few minutes for your pet to sniff around and get used to the camera and the person holding it. Kaushik keeps his voice low, moves slowly and works in short bursts, with breaks for water and treats.
That is no problem. Energetic dogs often produce the liveliest pictures, mid-bound across the open grass of Queen's Park or chasing a ball. For still portraits, a recall to a treat held above the lens, or a well-timed squeak, earns a brief pause. A good walk beforehand also helps burn off the first rush of energy.
Kaushik Bathia FBIPP FMPA, who has worked from Northwood since 2001 and has five European Kodak Gold Awards, photographs every pet session himself. Sessions run at the animal's pace, outdoors, with or without owners, and patience is treated as part of the craft.
If you share your home with a different animal, call or send a WhatsApp message to describe it and talk through whether the set-up will work.
Serving Queen's Park
A pet photographer near Queen's Park
Dogs, cats and other pets in Queen's Park, the neighbourhood named after its 30-acre park, are within reach for location sessions. It sits close to Kilburn and Willesden Green, which we cover too.
Queen's Park, the 30-acre park managed by the City of London Corporation that gives the area its name, asks that dogs stay under proper control and away from children's areas and the flower gardens. Owners meeting us before a walk can use Queen's Park station, served by the Bakerloo and Lioness lines, at the southern end of Salusbury Road. For an outdoor pet session, the park's open lawns and bold tree planting give plenty of natural backdrops.

A little reading from our journal to help get your pet ready for a Queen's Park session.
Queen's Park gives a dog session plenty of space, with thirty acres of lawn and trees, but its byelaws are worth knowing before you plan. Dogs must be kept under proper control, and they are not allowed in the children's areas, the playgrounds or the flower gardens, so the session would stay on the open grass and paths. The byelaws also ask for an agreement with the City of London Corporation before professional photography, which is arranged ahead of the date. The park's curving paths and bold tree planting suit a dog trotting towards the camera, and shade under the big trees keeps dark coats from losing detail on sunny afternoons. Quieter times, early in the day, mean fewer distractions from other animals and from picnics. It is about 10 miles from Queen's Park. Bring high-value treats, a toy that makes a noise, a clean lead and some water. Owners can join the frames or stay out of them, and Kaushik will let your pet set the pace.
