Playtime Pictures are specialist family photographers in Bognor Regis. Jon & Angela create relaxed, black & white preschool and family portraits—natural, timeless images parents cherish.
Playtime Pictures is a family-focused photography studio based in Bognor Regis, run by Jon and Angela. With professional experience since 2005 and the hands-on perspective of parents themselves, they specialise in family and preschool photography across Sussex and Hampshire. Their work centres on honest, unforced portraits that reflect the real personalities of children and families. Their signature black & white art portraits are made by joining children where they feel most comfortable — in their playrooms, classrooms and familiar settings. This approach lets Jon and Angela capture the little gestures and expressions families often miss: the concentration of a child engrossed in play, a shy smile shared with a friend, the quiet curiosity of a preschooler. The result is a collection of images with a timeless, museum-quality feel that stands apart from posed, studio-only shots. Why choose Playtime Pictures? Their combination of technical craft and parental insight creates an atmosphere of ease. Angela’s patience and relaxed manner, paired with Jon’s calm presence, help even the most camera-shy children settle quickly. They take the time to engage naturally with little ones, avoiding disruption to the daily routine while making sessions enjoyable for staff, parents and children alike. How they work is simple and considered. Playtime Pictures spends time in the setting to understand the environment, then captures candid and portrait moments over the photography day. Afterwards they carefully select the strongest images and present them to parents and carers, who are invited to choose favourites. Images can be ordered as mounted prints or framed artworks ideal for family homes — crafted to be passed down through generations. Playtime Pictures brings a personal touch to every family photoshoot. Their photography is rooted in respect for early years settings and a clear intention to create keepsakes that move and resonate. If you’re in Bognor Regis or the surrounding areas and want family portraits that feel genuine, thoughtful and beautifully composed, Jon and Angela at Playtime Pictures offer a specialist, caring approach to family photography.
