Specialist maternity photographer in Billericay, Essex. Natalie creates relaxed, flattering maternity shoots with wardrobe help and gentle posing to capture your unique bump story.
Natalie Cornish is a specialist maternity photographer based in Billericay, Essex, with a warm, down-to-earth approach that puts expectant mothers at ease. Photographing families since 2016, Natalie understands how precious pregnancy is and aims to create timeless, tasteful images that celebrate this brief, extraordinary chapter. Her style is about gentle direction and true connection — not stiff, over‑posed portraits. Natalie will guide you into flattering poses, move you into the best light and offer outfit suggestions so you feel confident and comfortable. She has a collection of studio dresses available and will share an inspiration Pinterest board and a what‑to‑wear guide tailored to your session so styling feels simple, not stressful. Sessions take place in her calm, self-contained studio in Ramsden Heath, just outside Billericay, where privacy and a relaxed atmosphere are priorities. Natalie works sensitively with how you’re feeling on the day — whether you want a soft, classic look, a more dramatic Demi Moore–inspired silhouette, or candid, family-inclusive images with partners and children. She’ll discuss your preferences during a pre-shoot conversation so every shoot reflects your personality and comfort level. Natalie pays attention to the small details that make maternity photography special: flattering light, gentle posing, and a focus on the story you’re creating. If you prefer, minor retouching such as smoothing stretch marks or blemishes can be handled in post-production — it’s entirely your choice. Throughout the session she keeps things light and often chatty, helping even camera-shy mums relax so the images feel natural and authentic. Choosing Natalie means working with a photographer who values connection and memories above all. Her friendly, reassuring manner and practical guidance make the process enjoyable from booking to delivery. If you’re local to Billericay or the surrounding Essex area and want maternity photos that feel both beautiful and true to you, Natalie specialises in capturing that moment with care, creativity and a calm studio experience.
