The Portrait Atelier

Welcome to Alison McMath Photography.


Based in West Lancashire, I offer a range of photography services — from business branding to interiors and lifestyle storytelling — but The Portrait Atelier is something truly different. This is about transformation!


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, hair and even artistic elements like body paint if desired.


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.

Does this sound like you?

  • 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.


Sounds good? Put your trust in me, and let’s make it happen.

As a professional speaker and trainer, I'm no stranger to being captured on camera, and it becomes easy to spot when someone knows what they’re doing. As well as being a pleasure to work with, I was inspired by how much thought and creativity Alison injects into the process.”

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."

Figure in white one-shoulder wedding gown with sparkling cape and elegant styling against dark background.

Alison was so incredible to work with, right from the start with the brilliant mood board she created, she perfectly understood the age of glamour that encapsulates the Eliza Jane Howell collection at Inspired Bridal and the style of the 1920s which is personally a favourite era. With her makeup and styling, I was delighted with the look achieved. Actually ‘modelling’ can be quite daunting, but she expertly put me at ease and her dynamic approach was in turn so inspiring.“

Alison made the whole experience calm, empowering and fun. My shy daughter came away glowing, and called it the best experience ever. We’ll definitely be back!”
