With contemporary branding photography and a relaxed, guided approach, I create images that make you feel seen, empowered, and ready to make an impact.
 
 
Based in West Lancashire, I offer a range of photography services — from business branding to interiors and lifestyle storytelling — but The Portrait Atelier - Unveiled is something truly different.
This is a one-of-a-kind, creatively styled photoshoot designed for women who want more than just beautiful images — they want to step into a version of themselves they’ve only imagined.
In collaboration with the incredibly talented stylist Anya Pogodzinska, we create immersive, editorial-style portraits that are entirely bespoke. Whether you want to express your truest self or become someone altogether new, we’ll bring your vision to life through thoughtful styling, professional makeup and hair and even artistic elements like body paint if desired.
This is about transformation. It’s about owning your space, your story and your beauty — unapologetically.
From the first conversation to the final portrait, we build the entire experience around you. Because for one unforgettable day, you deserve to be the centre of the universe.
✔️ You’re passionate about what you do and love helping your clients.
✔️ You know your online presence matters.
✔️ Your current images don’t truly reflect the confident, professional person behind your brand.
✔️ You keep putting off updating your photos.
✔️ You’re unsure where to start.
✔️ The thought of being photographed makes you hesitate.
The truth is, how can you expect others to invest in you if you don’t invest in yourself? Your business needs you to be visible!
When your dream clients see the real, confident, and approachable you, they connect, they trust, and they buy.
Imagine having images that feel authentic, powerful, and unmistakably you— making marketing effortless and attracting the right people with ease.
Sound good? Put your trust in me, and let’s make it happen.
Tell your story in a way that feels effortless, stylish and totally you. Magazine-style photography blends a polished editorial look with natural, engaging energy, giving you images that look and feel authentic.
Whether you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or creative, these images will help you stand out. They're perfect for your website, social media, press features and branding. Let’s create bold, beautiful photography that captures who you are and what makes you unforgettable.
“What a fabulous day I had with Alison, taking some new branding and headshot photos. Such a talented, creative lady - I can't wait to update all my photos."
“On Friday I faced one of my many fears and bit the bullet. I needed some professional photos done because:
1) Media peeps don’t seem to like selfies done in my home bar.
2) I’ve now got blue hair.
So I booked in with Alison! The day was lovely - totally relaxed, incense burning and meditation music playing (she knows me so well). We'd already chatted through the vibe I wanted and she’d got everything set up and ready. She gently explained everything I needed to do as we went through and how to pose. We had a fabulous few hours. Who needs a spa day?! Oh and of course, the photos are outstanding."
