Barrett & Coe Lichfield specialises in family photography in Basildon, capturing relaxed, natural portraits of families, babies and children. Friendly studios and a consultative approach ensure lasting images.
With a heritage that stretches back to 1864, Barrett & Coe Lichfield brings trusted family portrait expertise to Basildon. We specialise in family photography, focusing on relaxed, natural portraits that reflect real relationships and everyday moments. Our photographers consult with you before the session to understand the style you prefer, then create an easy-going atmosphere so everyone — from newborns to teenagers — feels comfortable in front of the camera. Our approach is deliberately personal and unhurried. We work with parents to plan timing and outfits, accommodating baby routines and the needs of young children so sessions run smoothly. Whether you want contemporary, candid images or more classic composed portraits, we use lighting, composition and gentle direction to capture authentic expressions and the connections that matter. Many clients come away with images they’re proud to display as traditional or contemporary wall art for the home. Barrett & Coe Lichfield combines the reassuring professionalism of a long-established group with the warm, family-friendly atmosphere of a local studio. Our team are experienced with newborns and babies, and understand how to create a calm environment that produces timeless black-and-white and colour portraits. We encourage families to bring treasured items or meaningful props to personalise each shoot and help children settle. From the first enquiry to image selection, we aim to make the whole experience enjoyable. After your session we guide you through choosing prints and display options that suit your home and style, ensuring your portraits become lasting keepsakes. As part of the wider Barrett & Coe group we also occasionally support practical workshops for those interested in learning more about portrait technique — though our primary focus remains creating beautiful family images for clients in Basildon and the surrounding area. If you’re looking for a specialist family photographer in Basildon who values relaxed sessions, thoughtful planning and beautifully produced portraits, Barrett & Coe Lichfield offers the expertise and friendly service to preserve your family moments for years to come.
