J L Studios in Horley specialises in family photography. Warm, imaginative sessions for families, maternity, newborns and children—relaxed studio experiences that create treasured wall art and storybooks.
J L Studios is the family photography specialist serving Horley and the surrounding area. As a family-run studio led by John Langridge and his team, we focus on creating relaxed, memorable family portraits that reflect who you are. Our philosophy is simple: great photographs come from connection. We take time to put everyone at ease so natural moments, personality and genuine smiles can shine through. We specialise in family sessions, with a particular emphasis on creating an experience as much as beautiful images. From our Family Squares shoots—fast, playful sessions that celebrate your family’s hobbies and character—to traditional multi-generational portraits, every session is tailored to your story. We encourage props, changes of clothes and personal touches so the finished wall art becomes a true reflection of your life together. For growing families we also offer maternity (Bump to Baby) and newborn sessions that work beautifully alongside our family work. Our approach to newborn photography is gentle and safety-led: we schedule around feeding and sleep, involve parents in poses, and allow plenty of time so everyone can relax. Cake Smashes and My First Year packages are available for capturing those milestone baby moments in a way that fits naturally with your family’s rhythm. Creativity is at the heart of what we do. You’ll find themed, imaginative experiences such as the Enchanted Forest storybook shoots and Capow! superhero sessions for children — these are designed to make the session fun and deliver striking images that children love. Everything is produced with an eye to beautiful presentation: framed prints, canvas wraps, acrylics and bespoke storybooks are all part of our offering so your images can be enjoyed in your home for years to come. How we work: we start with a friendly phone consultation to understand your needs, then welcome you to our Copthorne studios close to Horley and Gatwick. Sessions are relaxed and child-centred, with makeup, changing areas and a comfortable viewing space where you can select your favourite images. Safety, warm communication and a bit of imagination guide every shoot. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Horley who specialises in natural, creative portraits and heirloom-quality display work, J L Studios offers an experienced, personal approach that turns moments into lasting memories.
