Chic Photography Studio

Chic Photography Studio is a specialist maternity photographer based in Billericay, Essex. Led by award‑winning photographers Andy Thomas and Gemma Sains, our studio approach focuses on celebrating pregnancy with flattering, timeless imagery that honours this unique chapter in your life. We position ourselves as maternity specialists — crafting bump photography and pregnancy portraits that feel personal, beautiful and distinctly yours. Our style is rooted in a relaxed and friendly approach. In the calm, home‑like environment of our Billericay studio we take the time to listen to your vision and create images that reflect your personality — whether you prefer classic, elegant portraits or something more creative and expressive. We guide every posing decision with sensitivity and flattering lighting so expecting mothers feel comfortable, confident and naturally radiant in front of the camera. The session is collaborative and unhurried. From the initial conversation to the finished images, we aim to provide first‑class service and a calm experience that allows you to enjoy the moment. We offer thoughtful styling advice, tasteful use of props and delicate retouching to ensure each portrait looks polished while remaining authentic. If you have a meaningful item you’d like included — a knit shawl, baby shoes or an heirloom — we’re happy to incorporate it into the shoot to add personal storytelling to your maternity images. As specialists in maternity photography, we understand how important timing and comfort are. We recommend booking in advance to secure a session that suits your pregnancy timeline and to allow us to plan a bespoke experience tailored to you. Our Billericay studio is designed to be welcoming for partners and family, and we can include sibling or family portraits as part of the session when you’d like to mark this moment together. Choosing Chic Photography Studio means working with a team who care deeply about preserving memories with artistry and warmth. If you’re looking for a maternity photoshoot in Billericay that prioritises comfort, storytelling and beautifully composed imagery, get in touch and we’ll help you plan a session that celebrates your pregnancy with confidence and care.
