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.
Amazing service from Mr Kaushik Bathia. He is very professional, friendly and helpful. He made the family photoshoot a funny and pleasant experience. We highly recommend him! Thank you.
Kaushik Has magical touches!! We did a family session and were surprised that we could not find any flaw with circa 200 pictures taken by Kaushik. Kausik is simply amazing , we highly recommend to give job to Kaushik to capture special moments of life !! Well done Kaushik!!

Why book a pet session in West Harrow
Each session starts with time for your pet to settle, sniff and get used to the camera. Treats, toys and a calm approach do most of the work, and breaks are taken whenever they are needed, so nobody is rushed.
Once the session is over, an online gallery lets you pick out the pictures you love most. Retouching is gentle, tidying stray leads or fluff while keeping your pet looking just as they do at home, and final files are ready for printing and sharing, with prints and canvases available.

Certainly. Horses and ponies are photographed at home, at the stables or in their field near West Harrow, while rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets come to the studio. Whatever the animal, it is met with calm and unhurried patience.
Yes. Puppies and kittens are photographed at their own pace, with plenty of breaks, because their attention spans are short and they tire quickly. The studio is usually the best setting for very young animals, being warm, quiet and contained, and it is about 3 miles from West Harrow.
Yes. Pets can be photographed outdoors near West Harrow, for example at West Harrow Recreation Ground or along the footpath at Headstone Manor Park, or in the studio about 3 miles away.
