Willesden Green and nearby
Each session goes at the animal's pace. Time is given for sniffing around and settling, treats and toys are used to win attention, and the camera waits for the alert ears and bright eyes that make a pet portrait feel lively.
Favourite frames of your pet are then picked from an online gallery, with no rush to decide. Edits are light so each coat keeps its natural texture, and files arrive ready for screens and for print, with prints, frames and canvases on offer.

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.
Fantastic photographer . Relaxed atmosphere and even made my young children laugh and look at the camera ( which they normally don’t do ) . Amazing results ! Would highly recommend.
What we offer
Running shots on Gladstone Park's open meadows, outside the areas where leads are required.
Why choose us
With animals you need to be quick, ready for the yawn, the tilt of the head or the moment both ears go up. Dogs are photographed in short bursts of play, with calm behaviour rewarded and character caught in between.
Once the session is done you pick your favourite pictures, and we help you choose the prints, frames or canvases that suit your home. Your edited images arrive in an online gallery, where you choose your favourites without any pressure.

Good to know
Because the session is planned around the place and the animal. For Willesden Green, that means checking beforehand that Gladstone Park asks for leads in the walled garden and keeps dogs out of the playgrounds and courts, so the shoot is mapped onto the open meadows.
Animals are photographed by Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, whose portrait work since opening in Northwood in 2001 includes five European Kodak Gold Awards. Pet sessions apply the same craft with extra patience: low, steady movements, treats on hand and a camera ready for the moment an animal looks up.
Dogs and cats, and other household pets that can be photographed safely outdoors.
It depends on your pet, but an hour is typical. We never rush, giving your animal time to settle and show its character. Equally, we watch closely and wrap up while it is still enjoying itself, rather than pressing on until it grows weary.
Serving Willesden Green
Pet owners in Willesden Green are within the Greater London area we cover, whether the session is at home, in a park or indoors. It sits close to Queen's Park and Kilburn, which we cover too. Cats, rabbits or nervous dogs that settle better indoors may prefer a visit to Northwood instead.
Near the corner of the High Road and Brondesbury Park stands the Library at Willesden Green, with its gallery, its performance space and the borough's museum and archives. Owners meeting us in Willesden Green can use the Jubilee line, which stops at the Grade II listed station built in 1925. Gladstone Park lies on a hill north of Willesden Green, with meadows, a duck pond and views across London for an outdoor pet session. Roundwood Park is another outdoor option, though a dog control order covers its entrance and flower gardens, and in Gladstone Park dogs must be on a lead in the walled garden.

Guides
Journal articles with tips for a pet session around Willesden Green.
Owners in Willesden Green have three green spaces within reach that each suit a different kind of pet session. Gladstone Park is the broadest, with meadows on a hill and views across London, but its rules matter for planning: dogs are kept out of the playgrounds, the outdoor gym, the tennis courts and the games area, and must be on a lead in the walled garden and inside the low black railings. That leaves the open meadows as the natural place for running shots, with the walled garden reserved for calm, leashed portraits where careful angles keep a short lead out of frame. Roundwood Park has a dog control order covering its entrance and flower gardens, so a session there would work around those areas rather than through them. Mapesbury Dell is small and quieter, useful for a nervous animal that copes better with fewer distractions. Every session goes at the animal's pace, with or without the owners in frame. Bring a favourite toy, treats your pet will work for, and water.
