S.E.A Photography

S.E.A Photography is a family-run studio based in Chichester with a clear specialism in maternity photography. Founded in 2008 and run by Steph & Shaun, we believe in capturing the magic in every moment — and there is nothing more magical than the expectation of a new baby. Our approach is gentle, personal and rooted in creating timeless images that you and your family will treasure. As specialists in pregnancy and bump photography we focus on authentic, natural portraits that celebrate this unique chapter. Whether you prefer the soft drama of a golden-hour outdoor shoot among Hampshire’s forests, coast or lakes, or the intimacy of a relaxed at-home session, we work with you to find locations and light that reflect your personality. Our shoots are calm and unhurried: we guide every pose with sensitivity, keep the atmosphere warm and supportive, and encourage connection so the genuine moments shine through. Our training and background in Commercial Photography Practice, together with years of Photoshop experience, means we bring a professional eye to both capture and finish. We pride ourselves on thoughtful editing that enhances mood and detail while preserving the natural essence of each image — subtle retouching that keeps your portraits timeless rather than trendy. Working with S.E.A Photography is collaborative from the first enquiry. We begin with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to understand what you want, discuss locations and styling ideas, and answer any questions you have about preparing for your session. On the day we focus on comfort and clarity: gentle direction, natural poses, and an emphasis on maternity details that matter — your silhouette, your hands on your bump, the quiet exchanges with your partner or older children. While we are a family business with experience across family and newborn photography, maternity photography is a core passion and a true speciality for us. We strive to give 100% to every session, producing timeless photographs that capture the feeling of expectation and joy. If you’re seeking a Chichester maternity photographer who combines experience, care and a love for creating lasting images, we’d be honoured to be part of your journey. — Steph & Shaun, S.E.A Photography
