Abelle Portraits Mother’s Day Promo: Another Chapter

The Mother’s Day Promotion held last spring led to this family portrait photo shoot. During the pre-shoot phone consultation, it was made clear that the goal behind this studio photo session was “to capture the children at their age.“ In essence, isn’t this what photography does: stop time?

This session was really four mini-sessions built into one, combining individual magazine-style photos with family portraits. This is certainly possible and makes for a busy fun-filled day.

This session also coincided with another milestone for this family: their nest will start emptying out as the eldest daughter is leaving for university once school starts again this Fall.

If you wish to combine different types of photo shoots, make sure you pack a variety of outfits and that you eat your “Wheaties“ in the morning. Energy helps you stay alert for the duration of the photography session. I will guide you and help you plan for this ahead of time.

So, when was the last time you and your family were photographed professionally?

Mother’s Day Portrait Sessions, Chapter 1 : Abelle

In early April, we carried out a Mother’s Day Portrait promotion. After seeing the ad in the local paper, this young woman (Jody), mother of two little munchkins and professional massage therapist, contacted me. She needed to update her family portraits. I convinced her to come early and get portraits of her done as well. We had the phone consultation; went over Abelle’s Getting-Ready Guide and set a date. She gets an A+ for having selected great outfits and accessories for her and her children.

The session was split into two parts. First, we took care of her. Kathy worked her magic with Jodys hair and makeup. Abelle portrait studio photo sessionWe photographed her in various outfits. Her grace and beauty in the portraits are remarkable. She got more and more comfortable in front of the camera as the session progressed.Glamour portrait photography studio: Abelle

Secondly, her two precious munchkins arrived. We then set up a fast paced portrait session that included giggles and a snack break.

Lastly, I saw Jody again for her reveal and sales session. She went home with a set of precious portraits for her home.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take part in creating these priceless portraits for your family.

Les 9 ans de Mlle C.: Abelle Photographie

C’est avec sa robe de première communion, une crinoline en tulle, des ailes d’ange (oui, oui, vous avez bien lu) et des ongles d’orteils presque propres que Mlle C s’est fait photographier au studio. Seule. En lumière naturelle. Par un samedi matin tranquille.

Il y a presque exactement deux ans, elle était venue au studio se faire photographier avec maman. C’est fou ce qu’elle a grandit depuis ce temps-là.

Les enfants, c’est du bonbon. Ils se donnent sans réserve, sans gêne. C’est pourquoi ils sont si photogéniques. Donc,  à la base, tout le monde est photogénique. Il s’agit de faire confiance et se laisser diriger pendant la session photo.

When it comes to your business’ image, what are some of the key design elements that make up your brand? Color scheme, shapes, keywords or phrases, etc.

As entrepreneurs and business owners, you are also part of the brand. The language you use, your demeanour in public and personality are intimately connected to the brand you create.Abelle studio beauty portrait photography. Corporate portraits.

It is with this in mind that Stephanie approached this shoot. She wanted portraits that were strong and powerful. So we kept things simple and understated. This woman is stunning. The challenge was to keep this shoot from turning into a beauty portrait shoot.

On-location Natural Light Portrait Photo Shoot: Abelle

Where were you during this last snow storm? I was snowed in. In Sutton. Snow heaven. With St-Patrick’s day a couple of days away, I felt the Celtic vibe. So I played with glass and shot these portraits. In natural window light. In the recreational room. Next to the piano.

This is Edith, mother of two and professional organizer at Haven Maven. If you don’t know what a professional organizer does, then find out. Everyone needs one at one time or other. This service will transform your life. We had already shot a corporate head shot session and created a casting portfolio for Edith. This session was a styled beauty photography session.

About the photography sessions:
When you reserve your photo shoot, we map it out ahead of time, in person, over phone or via Skype. This is to ensure we produce portraits/images that reflect the look, feel, theme and emotions you wish to convey. That is true for all types of photo sessions: glamour, lifestyle, family, boudoir, pregnancy or corporate head shots. Having a planned photo session is reassuring, is more time-efficient and keeps us focused. It is also a whole lot of fun!

New Business Venture Calls for New Portraits by Abelle

2017 has been and is on an upswing for many people around me. This momentum seems to have taken over Cara’s professional life. Corporate portrait taken in studio by Abelle Photography, Brockvill

She called me out of the blue telling me how much she needed a new personal branding image. How this new business venture was important and scary for her. How she needed to treat herself to this: the pampering hair and makeup session that takes place prior to the corporate photography session.

Dream, Girl Film Screening: Thought Provoking

Dream Girl Movie Poster

I was lucky enough to attend the screening of the movie Dream Girl at the Brockville Arts Centre. I admit I had no clue what this movie, this movement was all about until I viewed the film. I was quite moved by it. Firstly, because visually the images are superb. The mastery of light and camera angles are perfect.

Erin Bagwell and Komal Minhas are the producers of Dream, Girl.

Secondly, this movie brings to light the stories of a number of different women in the business world.

Did you know that?

I am sure everyone’s reaction to the movie is different. For my part, as an small business owner, the stories of these women entrepreneurs push me to continue doing what I do: promoting the inner beauty of every woman through the beauty makeover and glamour photography experience I provide through the photography studio banner: Abelle. The experience isn’t vain. It is about self-acceptance, inner strength, inner beauty, transformation and validation. And that, is totally A-Ok.
Here’s to 2017!
