Headshot Photographer

I recently moved to Liverpool on a short term work contract and being a photography junkie, I googled and was drawn to Alison’s website. As with anything new, I was slightly apprehensive but any anxieties I had disappeared the minute I met up with Alison. She truly has a way of making you feel like you have known her for awhile - she is an ultimate professional. The weather was not at it’s best having been born in warmer climate and all, but Alison went to all sorts of lengths to ensure we got the best angles. Long story short. I got the edited photos a few days later. Priceless moments encapsulated forever, thank you so much Alison.

Therapist / Formby Counselling

Thanks Alison, I absolutely love the headshot photos! You have captured my personality and warmth as a therapist and added a professional context for new clients which is perfect. You've also captured the consultant rooms really well too, so my clients can envisage the environment before they arrive. I will be in touch in the future to arrange further photoshoots. Take care, Alison x

Wendy Woodhead

Brand and Content Manager / Ambition Institute

I had a fantastic experience working with Alison on our education charity's photoshoot. It was a full day, including travel to two schools, with different sets of challenges. She took on board our organisation's complex brief and really got to grips with our detailed brand guidelines, seamlessly integrating our vision with her own experience and creative suggestions. Her professionalism, friendliness and ability to work with my directions made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Leonora Paul

Alison took some photos of me at my home for my website Leonora Paul Hypnotherapy. She is extremely professional and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable to share ideas which I think shows in the lovely photos. I would highly recommend Alison if you are wanting some headshots, photos for your website or social media platforms. Thank you Alison x

Lovely working with Alison for a series of professional group shots. We wanted traditional style group photographs for the hospital and Alison matched our brief. We were really happy with the quality of Alison's work and look forward to working with her for our annual group shots again in the future. Matthew

We had the pleasure of working with Alison when she took some informal family pictures for my daughter Elena's Graduation in Liverpool. There had been a few delays and changes due to the impact of Covid on the graduation ceremony and Alison was great in making alternative arrangements. On the day itself she had the unenviable task of trying to corral the family members together to get the pictures we wanted - she has great patience! The end result was a wonderful selection of pictures that show a real family celebration of the graduation that we will treasure for years to come. I would definitely recommend Alison, you will be assured of that personal touch and know that your pictures and experience are so important. Best wishes Maxine x

Jade Shaw, Edingburgh

Alison conducted an afternoon Hen Party photoshoot for our bridal party of 18 in Liverpool. From my first enquiry to Alison, I found her friendly, professional, quick to respond and extremely helpful. Alison planned the whole photoshoot around key sites in Liverpool prior to the day and thought of every fine detail including beautiful umbrellas that worked with the shoot should it rain. Alison was very flexible and accommodating of any request we had, given there was 18 girls and a demanding bride, she was absolutely fantastic. We were very impressed with the quality of the final edited photos, how fast we received them and how many there were! We have such great memories of the weekend. I cannot recommend Alison enough, she is the queen of organisation! Jade

Janice & Jonathan Northcroft, Mossley Hill, Liverpool

Hey Alison, just opened up the frames - we were waiting for the time to open them and enjoy, un-rushed...thank you so much, they're absolutely stunning! They capture a moment in our lives that we will surely remember forever.  You did a beautiful job and we really appreciate it. Thank you for capturing this special moment on our behalf. Love Jan, Jonathan and Ishbel xxx

Karin Harvey, Liverpool

Alison provides a wonderful personal service, she is very patient and engaging, which can be a challenge when photographing 7 month old twins!! The result: beautiful photographs capturing moments that can be kept forever.

John Holmes, Liverpool

We have now viewed all of the finished frames and photographs and we are delighted at the quality of all of the products which have exceeded our high expectations. As well as this, the service that you have given has been exceptional, especially the mock-ups of the large frame photographs which gave us real clarity of choice.

We would have no hesitation in forwarding your contact details to anyone we know that is looking for a user-friendly, top quality service. Again, many thanks for all of your help and for the great pictures of our granddaughter that we will all enjoy for ever.

The Dennigan Family, Liverpool

Alison came to our home at short notice when my son made a surprise visit home from Abu Dhabi. It was my birthday and my daughter Kate had arranged for a portrait of the four of us as a gift. I'd always wanted a picture of us all together....a sort of heirloom, a moment captured in time on a print and not on a sim or a memory card. Alison went out of her way to fit us in around her own plans and holiday. The photo shoot was at our home and Alison brought everything and set it up very quickly. The whole experience was so enjoyable and fun, and the photos were icing on the cake. We loved it! The photos themselves are amazing, I love them, we all do and have ordered extra as family gifts. I would recommend Alison to anyone, her work is fab but it's worth mentioning that she is also the sweetest, lovely lady and it was a pleasure meeting her.

‎Sarah and Luke Curtis‎, Gateacre, Liverpool

Alison, thank you for coaxing the most enchanting portraits out of my very camera-shy family. We really enjoyed our session in Calderstones Park and are exceptionally pleased with the resulting artwork. Little boys are growing up (too) fast into big boys - would love to immortalise another chapter next year.

Kerri Bankes, Liverpool

Beautiful photographs! Alison, you cleverly captured our little girl's personality in keepsakes we'll treasure forever. You invoked a sense of fun and freedom to the shoot, making it such an enjoyable experience, thank you! We'll be back again, and have been enthusiastically recommending you to friends and family.

Claire and Andrew Higgins, Crosby, Liverpool

Gorgeous photos and a really lovely person.... goes above and beyond to make your family feel comfortable whilst making beautiful memories! Alison first photographed our first born at 12 months old and we have asked her back to photograph our newest member of the family at the same age. Alison also captured photos of our two children together so naturally, just being themselves and has brought out their real personalities. We now have matching family portraits hanging on our walls, just beautiful. We can’t praise her patience and professionalism enough. Highly recommend!

Mrs Louise Hammond, Liverpool

Parent of Pupil

Just got home and my daughters school photos were waiting! They are beautiful I'm so happy! Thank you so much, I will be passing on your details to friends, family and colleagues.

William and Rebecca Thomson, Liverpool

Alison took some wonderful shots of our nieces for us. The photos are beautiful, she handled two teenagers in a friendly and professional way to get the most natural photos possible. We can't recommend Alison highly enough.

Ann & David Lipscombe, Chester, Cheshire

We felt quite apprehensive for Alison's visit to our home with her mobile studio but within minutes we were totally relaxed and enjoying the experience. Alison has a knack of putting you at ease and in a very short time was taking some great natural photographs of us. We are absolutely delighted with the final results which shows Alison's skill and professionalism as a photographer. As a result we will certainly call on her again and will recommend her to our friends and colleagues.

Sinasi Capkan, Liverpool

Restaurant Manager / Shino's Coffee Lounge, Liverpool

I would like to say a massive thank you to Alison for the fabulous photos of Shino’s Coffee Lounge. She has really brought the place to life, and her attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. Her photographs have really helped to promote our business, and her expertise shines through in the quality and layout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alison for any professional photographs.

Heather Vaughan, Cheshire

Alison came to my 'big birthday' party with over 70 people present, and I was truly impressed with the quality of the photographs, and the natural way that she captured my friends and family.   The cameos are lovely, as are the 'action' shots of us all dancing. I particularly liked the addition of some black and white shots; they added a lovely contrast and were totally appropriate. I'd definitely recommend Alison to anyone wanting to capture those special events on camera.

Eddie Croft

Music Teacher

I hired Alison to cover my Christmas concert event, where music pupils have a chance to perform in a warm and supportive environment. After browsing Alison's online portfolio, I felt that her style would be very complimentary and the photos would provide lovely moments for the event, and I was delighted with the results. Alison is very professional and friendly and the pictures perfectly captured the spirit of the event beautifully. Would highly recommend!

David and Sheila Laird, Liverpool

Would like to said a massive thank you for making our wedding so beautiful... When arranging our wedding we wanted someone different to your normal wedding photographer, we didn't want false, static, planned, photo's, we wanted natural, personal and momentary photography, we found this in you Alison, so impressed with your devotion and pride in your work. Listening to what we would like, our wishes and your own input was fantastic, all our family and friends where so impressed with you, specially how many times you looked over the area and venue in weeks before the event, our day was perfect and we couldn't of found a more professional, lovely, friendly person as we did in you. Thank you so much the photograph's were fantastic!

Donald & Fem, Papua New Guinea

Student at Liverpool University

Greetings from the “Land of the Unexpected”. We loved all of our photographs Alison. From the photoshoot to the handling and packing of the products. This is by far the best service I have received from a photographer. I have hired a lot of photographers in the past and no one comes close to you. I am blessed that you answered my email when I enquired. Perfection is what you gave, Ramon and Donald loved it too. I will definitely keep in touch Alison, we have not only found a perfect photographer, but we have found a friend :-) Thank you so much, Fem x

Jackie & Brendan O'Leary, West Midlands

Student at Liverpool University

Laura’s Graduation - We didn’t want the usual formal Graduation photograph. We wanted fun photographs to match our daughters fun personality. Alison was quick to reply to my emails. She planned an outside photo shoot around many of Liverpools iconic landmarks... Laura loved her time in Liverpool and her graduation photographs will be a lifetime reminder of her 3 years there. Alison was warm and friendly and at no time did we feel rushed. She even added a little time to take pictures with her grand parents outside the hotel we were stopping at. The final edited photographs are wonderful... Definitely worth the money. We would highly recommend Alison. Many thanks Jackie x

Having found a publisher for my third crime/mystery novel set in Liverpool, I needed a professional author headshot. Alison showed great patience and professionalism and I am delighted with the end result.

Alison was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable throughout the session. She listened to my requirements and ensured they were met. I am thrilled with the final photos and impressed with Alison's communication and prompt response in getting the final images. I would definitely recommend Alison to anyone requiring headshot photography in the future.

Chris Wells, Liverpool

President, European Pain Federation, EFIC

We would not hesitate to recommend Alison Dodd Photography to anyone who is thinking of having a series of portrait pictures taken for either business or personal reasons. When Alison visited us she was polite, friendly and professional. She set up and later dismantled her studio quickly and efficiently, and was adept at getting just the right shots. We were also very pleased with the finished product, which Alison had carefully retouched to improve them even more. We would be delighted to use her services again in the future and she is definitely one of the best photographers we have used. We hope her business goes from strength to strength in the future. Very best wishes, Chris and Sue Wells

Events & Promotions Organiser

From start to finish Alison was a consummate professional. Alison returned my call within 5 minutes after leaving her a message. She is very welcoming on the phone, I felt like I’d know her for ages. Paperwork and contracts were sent quickly with no hidden costs or last minutes surprises. The kit is very professional as was the shoot but Alison manages to keep this informal and fun. As a freelancer I needed new business photos quite quickly, from my initial phone call to receiving my photos was 5 days, fantastic. The photos have already paid for themselves, after uploading them with an agency I had secured a new contract that day. Very happy. I would recommend Alison to anyone who wants a photo shoot with a professional experienced photographer with a talent for making you feel at home. 5 stars.

I needed some professional headshots for work, knew Alison’s capability and no hesitation going straight to her. Easy, relaxed, well organised start to finish. I liked the suggestions to try some different backgrounds / lighting. The resulting photos now shared widely, and got lots of good feedback from colleagues too! James
