Dog and cat photography in Roxeth
- What the session includes: A patient, treat-friendly session where your pet sets the pace, with or without you in the frame, and the chosen portraits finished as prints, framed pieces or canvases if you want them on the wall.
- Studio or location: A calm studio portrait in Northwood, or an outdoor session on a favourite walk within about 20 miles.
- How far: Roxeth is about 4 miles from the Northwood studio as the crow flies, and the studio is two minutes' walk from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.
- How to book: Use the form at the end of this page, or call or WhatsApp 07956 505383; sessions are booked in advance so the studio is ready when you arrive.
Every session goes at the animal's pace. There is time to sniff around and relax before the serious pictures, treats and toys are used to catch attention, and short breaks keep a tired or excitable pet from switching off.
You then browse an online gallery and choose the frames you love without being hurried. Fur, eyes and colour are retouched with a light hand, and your selection can be delivered as files or ordered as prints, frames and canvases.

We had our family portraits done many years ago with Kaushik Bathia and we loved them so we have now returned again this time with new additions to the family. On all the occasions we went Kaushik Bathia has taken care of everyone and made everyone laugh and smile especially the children in order to get the best photos.
We had a great experience with our family photoshoot. The photographer made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, which really shows in the final photos. The images are natural, well-captured, and beautifully edited. We’re all really happy with the results and would highly recommend.
Fantastic service, Kaushik captured some amazing shots of our family. He is patient, professional, friendly and creative which really helps when trying to get pictures with young children. You never feel rushed and the final product will be something we cherish for years to come. This was our second time with Kaushik and we will be going back again. We have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Kaushik!
What we offer
Pet photography in Roxeth
Cats and small animals
Cats, small pets and anxious dogs photographed indoors at Northwood, at the animal's own pace.
Pets with their owners
With or without owners in the frame, paced entirely around the animal.
Local and experienced
Reassuringly patient with pets in Roxeth
Sessions stay short and fun, and they finish as soon as your pet starts to tire, while it is still enjoying itself. Kaushik watches for the little things, a lifted paw, a lolling tongue, a slow sleepy blink, that bring a pet portrait to life.
Prints for the wall, albums and small desk frames mean your pet's personality can turn up in every room of the house. Backdrops range from clean and plain to deep, rich colour, chosen to suit your animal's coat and temperament.

Good to know
Pet Photographer in Roxeth, FAQs
Yes. Dark coats need careful light so the texture of the fur shows and the eyes catch a highlight, rather than the animal becoming a black shape. In the studio the lighting is set specifically for this, and outdoors, open shade or soft cloud gives a far better result than bright sun.
By letting them set the pace. Animals are given time to explore the space before the camera comes up, voices stay low and movements slow, and breaks are taken whenever a pet starts to tire. Owners can stay close throughout, which reassures most animals more than anything else.
The animal decides more than the clock does. Some pets give their best pictures in the first few minutes; others need a while to forget the camera is there, so sessions are never cut short just as an animal relaxes. The time set aside is confirmed when you book, and outdoor sessions near Roxeth allow a little longer for settling in.
Yes, both. Bring the treat your pet will do almost anything for and a toy that makes a noise, as these are the quickest ways to win a head tilt or a pair of pricked ears. Check any dietary limits beforehand, and bring water and a familiar blanket for outdoor sessions.
Yes. Favourites picked from your online gallery can become prints, framed pieces, canvases or albums, and they also arrive as digital files. For prices, Roxeth pet owners can ask by phone or on WhatsApp and the details are given on request.

Reading from our journal to help you plan a calm, happy session for your animal from Roxeth.
Owners in Roxeth have two green spaces close to home that can work for a pet session, each with a different character. Roxeth Recreation Ground is the more open of the two, with wide grass between its pitches, which gives a running dog room to stretch out and gives the camera a clean, uncluttered line behind the animal. Alexandra Park is more enclosed, with gardens and planting that make a softer backdrop for a sitting or lying pose. Harrow's public spaces protection orders cover dog control in the borough's parks, and anyone hoping to bring more than four dogs at once needs the council's permission, so a multi dog household should plan around that rule. Outdoors, the best pictures usually come after the animal has had ten minutes to sniff and settle; rushing the first frames gets ears back and a tense mouth. Bring the treats your pet works hardest for, a squeaky toy for attention at the decisive moment, and a lead in a colour that is easy to remove in editing. For cats, rabbits, nervous rescues and very old dogs, the Northwood studio is about 4 miles from Roxeth and offers a calm, contained room with no traffic noise, where an animal can be photographed with or without its owner, entirely at its own pace.
