I contacted a lot of photographers in the tri state area. What I found was high prices and/or someone with attitude. Bill Allen stood out above the rest. He has very reasonable prices, state of the art equipment, quick turnaround time and most importantly -- his work is amazing --he brought out the best in my daughter. He took the time to review all the pictures with us so that we could pick the perfect set for her Zed card. I highly recommend Bill Allen to all. A true professional-- Irene, Northvale, NJ 6/2/09
Bill Allen worked with me to create my head shot for the New Jersey Teacher of the Year. When I first went to see him, he began by getting to know me a little so that I would feel comfortable. Then, he took a wide variety of photos from which we chose favorites. Finally, once my choice had been made, Bill got me the final copies in a very short time as I was under pressure to get my prints. From the moment we spoke, I knew that it would be a privilege to work with such an accomplished man with a life-long connection to photography. He came through at every step of the process. Bill is a guy you can trust and who will do exactly what he says he will. In the end, you'll have a great image and you will have had experience with a great photographer.

Good headshot photographer and nice person to do business with. Very nice pictures and very natural looking. I've seen a number of headshots for other people where they look so made up that it doesn't look like them in person. My daughter wore a little makeup and that was enough. He takes a lot of photos to choose from and the price is reasonable.

I must say, Bill.....I got about 10 compliments...I am going to ask you to do a few more of the others.
Thanks again. My wife says if you can make me look good, you must be a genuine artist.

"Bill Allen calmly brings out your best, just by talking and listening and letting you be you. After the session, I found there were so many great shots of me across a range of emotion that it was tough to pick the best ones." --
