Beautiful Makeover and Elegant Portrait Session: Abelle

She is a business owner, a mother and grandmother and a woman full of life. She needed a new corporate portrait for LinkedIn and her other social media profiles. She had the honesty to come into the photography studio and say: “I didn’t know what to bring. I either like wearing these outfits or people have complimented me on them. So I brought them all.” I think you nailed it. A+ on your selection Marjorie!

Une question d’algèbre : Abelle Photographie

Leave a reply

J’aime l’algèbre. Oui, j’aime ça. Je suis prof de maths de formation. J’aime l’algèbre quand en plus ça donne ceci comme résultat: M + K = A. Soit: [M: Marjolaine, K: Keven, A: Alyce].

Ces images sont le résultat de 3 types d’équations: celles du premier degré, celles au carré puis, finalement, à la puissance de 3.

Quel privilège que de photographier ces 2 variables (maintenant 3) depuis les 3 dernières années, de leurs fiançailles, au mariage, à la grossesse jusqu’à la photographie de leur famille.
Ce qui est le plus beau, selon moi, est le fait qu’il la fait encore rire. Aux éclats.

Montreal Engagement Photography: Abelle

This young woman and I go back. Way back. So far back, she may not remember me from that time. Late 1990s in fact. She was a smart, polite and vivacious teenager with a positive attitude. Her mother was a source of motivation for me at the local gym; she had a holistic approach to fitness and well-being. When I photographed J & X, in Montreal, a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but be reminded of her mother’s smile and positive energy in the images.
I also wasn’t surprised to see that she had chosen a wonderful life partner. How could she choose otherwise?! Montreal engagement photographer Abelle I feel blessed: I witness beautiful moments in couples’ lives and have the pleasure of documenting them. Here are a few precious images announcing their big day to come in September.

Elegant Makeover & Portrait Session: Abelle Fine Portraits

This lady came in contact with me through a member of local business woman, Lorrie Brown of L.B. Office Admin, member of BWB. She drove from Ottawa for this experience: a hair and makeup pampering session (Thank you Erica) followed by a portrait photo shoot. There are many reasons why women wish to sit in the makeup chair and come to our portrait studio. In this case, the reason was simple: she wanted to do something special for herself.

Her resting face is a contagious grin. Not smiling is difficult for her and it made the session fun.
I think she loved the result. I know I do. Here are some of our favorite images.

The importance of a great headshot: Abelle Portraits

Leave a reply

Whether it is to promote your personal blog, your small business, your business Facebook page or your LinkedIn profile a professional looking headshot is essential. Also called corporate portrait, I prefer the term “personal branding” photographs for this type of headshot. Most of us take great care in branding our business.

As your personality is an extension of your brand, I feel a quality well-lit headshot is equally important. What message are you trying to convey with this portrait? casual, friendly, approachable, fun, professional, trustworthy, elegant, feminine, strong, …
Here is a great article from the Huffington Post offering advice on the matter.
