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.

Maintenant, Mlle C. a des devoirs. En plus de devoir apprendre le violon :),  elle doit aussi choisir quelles images et grandeurs de cadres elle mettra sur le mur de sa nouvelle chambre.

Personal Branding Photo Shoot: Abelle Portrait Studio

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.

This woman is is a force to be reckoned with.  She is a leader in her community and an expert in the field of holistic health. New Leaf Wellness offers inspiration, guidance and healing. Curious about what holistic health is about? Find out more about this beautiful master through the website and Facebook page.

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!

Personal Branding Photography Session: Abelle Portrait Studio

The initial request was for a new portrait for this business woman’s website. What started as a phone consultation for a corporate portrait photography session morphed into a double-duty session: a personal branding portrait session followed by a beauty makeover and glamour photo shoot.

How you look +
How you speak +
+ How you act = Your personal brand.

Erica worked with L. to create a professional and natural look.

We worked on creating a couple of business outfits using the suitcase of clothes L. had brought along. 30 minutes later, we had enough corporate portrait images to choose from.

Montreal Urban Wedding as Seen by Abelle

This last wedding was an emotional one. It was an understated, authentic and warm event, much like the bride and groom’s personalities. Voici les grandes lignes de l’histoire de la journée de mariage de J et X.

The First-look took place at Parc Marguerite-Bourgeoys in Verdun, Montreal. Nous avons bien ri durant la session de photos; nous devions éviter le gazon coupé sortant des tracteurs à gazon des employés de la ville de Montréal. 🙂

After the couple photography session in a park in Verdun, the ceremony was held outside at Grumman 78 on De Courcelles, in Montreal. The tent was a last minute decision as the day called for rain, which didn’t come until late evening. C’est le père du marié qui a présidé la cérémonie du mariage. C’est lui qui a eu l’honneur et le plaisir d’être le célébrant du mariage de son fils. Ceci a ajouté beaucoup d’émotion à ce grand moment.

The day was all about close family and friends, awesome food and a great party. Mexican appetizers and finger food were served all evening. If you like Mexican food, you will LOVE the food at Grumman 78.

The couple also set up a cozy lounge outside of the restaurant for guests to relax and mingle.

La soirée a été remplie de bonne bouffe, de musique, de conversations et de Téquila. Les invités ont eu la chance de ramener à la maison une petite douceur: des beignes faits avec amour par les mariés et leurs parents. I think this may have been the first wedding where I gained weight snacking on appetizers and desserts.
