Barrett & Coe Lichfield

Barrett & Coe Lichfield are specialists in maternity photography serving Basildon and the surrounding area. As part of a long-established family of studios, we understand that maternity portraits are more than images — they are a celebration of a unique chapter. We aim to create relaxed, timeless photographs that reflect the quiet confidence and joy of pregnancy. Why choose Barrett & Coe Lichfield? Our photographers are trained to put expecting mothers at ease. From the moment you book, we take a consultative approach: we discuss style, clothing and any meaningful props you may wish to include, and we plan the session to suit your comfort and routine. Our family-friendly studios are designed to be calm and welcoming, so every maternity shoot feels natural rather than staged. What makes our approach special is the combination of experience and sensitivity. We focus on flattering, elegant portraits that celebrate your shape and connection to your baby. Whether you prefer classic, soft-lit images or more contemporary, natural looks, we guide you through poses and lighting that highlight your best features while keeping the atmosphere easy and confident. Many clients choose to include partners or older children for warm, family-focused images that capture this transition to a new family dynamic. How we work: sessions are carefully paced around your needs so you never feel rushed. We begin with a short conversation to make sure we understand your vision, and then move at a gentle, relaxed pace through selected poses and set-ups. Our aim is to capture candid moments and considered portraits alike — offering a selection of images that tell the story of your pregnancy. After the shoot, we help you choose the images that will suit your home and legacy pieces from our exclusive product range. Rooted in Barrett & Coe’s heritage of portrait excellence, our Basildon maternity photography blends professional craft with a warm, personal service. If you want maternity photos that feel authentic, comfortable and beautifully made, Barrett & Coe Lichfield specialise in preserving this extraordinary time with care and style.
