J L Studios

At J L Studios we specialise in maternity photography — capturing the quiet strength, beauty and tenderness of pregnancy in a way that feels natural and true to you. Based in Horley and run by John Langridge and the JL Studios team, we treat every bump-to-baby session as a bespoke experience. Our goal is to help expecting mothers feel relaxed, confident and celebrated in front of the camera. We believe great maternity photos come from connection. Before your session we’ll have a friendly phone consultation to discuss timing (we recommend booking between 30–32 weeks), wardrobe, any props you’d like to include and whether you’d like partner or family involvement. Dry hair and professional make-up can be arranged for a small extra cost and should be pre-booked to ensure our stylist is available. Sessions take place in our purpose-equipped studios — two large indoor studios plus a unique Garden Studio — giving you a choice of intimate studio backdrops or a softer, outdoor-style look using natural elements. Our comfortable viewing area means you can see your favourite images soon after the shoot and select the pieces you want to display at home. We offer a thoughtful range of finished products, from framed wall art to albums and prints, to help you treasure this milestone. Our approach is gentle, collaborative and safety-minded. We pride ourselves on excellent communication, making even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Whether you want elegant, simple portraits of your bump, styled editorial images or candid moments with your partner, we tailor the session to your vision and guide you every step of the way. Choosing J L Studios means working with a family-run team who treat your memories with care. We bring creativity, experience and attention to detail to every maternity shoot — unlocking your imagination and creating images you’ll come back to time and again. If you’re expecting and would like a relaxed, specialist maternity photoshoot in Horley, get in touch and let’s plan something beautiful together.
