Session de portraits «lifestyle» à Ottawa

C’est vers Orleans, en banlieue d’Ottawa, que nous avons promenés nos caméras dernièrement. C’est l’anniversaire de maman et elle veut se faire plaisir et immortaliser sa petite qui a 18 mois, bientôt 19.

J’arrive tout de suite après sa sieste d’après-midi et Mlle nous a offert plus de 90 minutes de photographie sans problèmes. On a grimpé, dansé, chanté, rampé, tapé des mains, …. afin de croquer des images de ce petit être qui déplace autant d’air que le géant vert.

Maman porte le même nom que moi: Isabelle. Ça augure bien dès le premier courriel. Les cheveux de sa fille sont plus que semblables aux miens au même âge: tout bouclés, tout frisés. On l’adore sur le champ.

Avouez que vous aviez hâte de lui voir la binette?

The Queen, her work and her castle. 🙂

Melissa Doherty: owner of The Queen’s Crumb

She’s sweet, delightful, bubbly, genuine, talented, sophisticated and passionate. She is the queen of The Queen’s Crumb. Her name is Melissa and she is the talented artist behind Ottawa’s premier cake and confectionery company operating in Ottawa’s Westboro district. She left a paralegal career to pursue her passion. To top it off, she also has great marketing and business flair! http://queenscrumb.ca

We met at the Millisle Bed and Breakfast in Merrickville, Ontario on a super hot and muggy Summer afternoon. The Millisle B & B is a historical three-storey Victorian mansion. Check out this elegant Bed & Breakfast here: http://www.bbcanada.com/millislebb

We had to stay focused on the corporate portraits we wanted to create as we could have easily photographed for days in this sumptuous historical gem. I was thinking that a Boudoir photo shoot there would be absolutely divine!

Although I mostly photograph people in intimate settings such as weddings, anniversaries and family portrait sessions, we were trying to create portraits that were not too square. The goal is to portray a person’s personality through the images. Here are some images of the woman and artist behind The Queen’s Crumb. How did we do?

Mother-Daughter Family Portrait Shoot near Montreal by Abelle Photographie

A few weeks after Mother’s Day we sneaked into a park, located in Ile Perrot close to Montreal, to capture some awesome portraits of mothers and their daughters. Actually, we didn’t plan it that way. The shoot was a large farewell get-together consisting of 5 families where family portraits were to take place. We took a few moments to photograph mothers and their daughters. The light was perfect, the mood was light and the love between the lovely ladies very tangible. Here is one of the many images we shot.

Let there be L I G H T !

It’s all about the light. After spending a week with Jerry Ghionis a few years ago, I finally began to get IT. Seeing the light in a whole new and different way.
It isn’t about the camera (sensor points, pixels, fps,…), nor is it about the lens (fast aperture), nor the fancy decor, the fancy clothes and neither is it about the professional makeup. It’s all about the light and the moment. Seeing it. Interpreting it in a frame.
Down time this weekend. The first in 2013.
