Beautiful Country Wedding in West Brome, Quebec by Abelle

V & J contacted me after seeing the images of Laurelle & Zack’s wedding Horse Farm Wedding.

They live way up North in Quebec in a far away place (Whapmagoostui, Quebec). Family ties made them choose West Brome, Quebec in the Eastern Townships to tie the knot and this is where and how we come into their wedding day story. These two lovebirds are authentic. From our perspective, it looks like family means everything to them. Laureleen and I were honoured to be chosen to accompany them that day and witness touching and unforgettable moments.

Here are a few of our favorite images of this cute couple’s wedding day photography coverage:

Montreal Family Photo Session: Abelle photographie

Rewind to July 14, 2012. One of the warmest days on record. A & C tied the knot at Auberge des Gallant. I went through 2 sweat wristbands and drank 3 liters of water in one afternoon photographing their wedding.

Fast forward to 2015: V is a newcomer to this beautiful, funny and endearing family. It was time for new family photographs so that’s what we did last Sunday morning.
These images were created with the wonderful help of dogs, a bubble gun and a sippy cup.

Empowering Women One Makeover Beauty Portrait At a Time: Abelle Photography

Women. We are strong and vulnerable at the same time. We love our sibblings, family, partners and children to bits. We love to have photographs of the people we love in our space. When the camera is turned toward us, many of us don’t feel pretty enough. ”I’ll get my photograph taken when I lose 10 pounds, when I get my hair cut or colored, when I get a tan,… Not me. Not now.”

The makeover and beauty portrait photoshoot experience is fun. The beautiful photographs created are secondary. It’s the experience, the pampering session that often leads to the start of a beautiful transformation that is more than skin deep. Women feel empowered.
Exist in photographs is a beautiful movement that strives to change that. Photographs of you are the best gift you can give the people in your life. #existinphotos.

Mother, Wife, Sister, Editor, Friend and Goddess. Makeover Beauty Portrait Session by Abelle

Laura has time for everything and everyone: her two children, her husband, her family, her friends, her work, her business, her community,… Her good friend Natasha thought this experience might be the type of pampering Laura needed.

After a styling consultation, held prior to the photoshoot, Laura was ready for a morning of transformation and fun at our Brockville photo studio. Erica (MUA), hair & makeup artist, enhanced Laura’s flawless skin and beautiful features and did a wonderful job with Laura’s naturally curly hair. Laura knocked this makeover beauty portrait photoshoot out of the park! A real pro.

At her reveal session, she couldn’t get over the photographs. She said knew she had it in her somewhere to let her inner Goddess out. This makeover session proved her right.

Elegant Mother-Daughter Makeover and Beauty Portraits by Abelle Photography

There are few connections as intimate and as strong as the one between a mother and daughter. This is what this story is about. Actually, it is about wanting to let women know that they need to exist in photos ( #existinphotos ) for their children and for themselves. From where I am standing, it feels like women move to the back of the camera the day they give birth. Then, it is all about the child or children. Do not get me wrong: children are precious and worth every photograph. However, what message are we sending to children if women stop believing they are worthy of a portrait because of their age, weight, greying hair, story telling lines on their face…? Got you thinking, huh? To Maegan, her mother is one of the most significant positive role models she has and these portraits are priceless.
I’ll stop preaching and let the images speak for themselves. This elegant makeover portrait session was held in our Brockville studio.

50 is Fabulous: Elegant Portraits by Abelle Photography

She is a mother, a wife, a teacher and a writer. She pushes young minds to do their best; to work hard and to reach for the stars. She inspires young women to be all they desire to become. She is a great cheerleader and cares for so many around her. She truly is an inspiration to me.

So without hesitation, J. said yes to this beautiful hair and makeup makeover followed by an elegant portrait photography session held at our boutique apartment. Expert Sharon, an experienced and talented hair & makeup artist, created this natural look for J. I then guided her through this professional photo shoot.

I think now may be the first time I feel the difference between looking beautiful and being beautiful. This talented and creative writer IS beautiful, inside and out.

I love quotes, so I thought I’d throw this one in (makes me sound smart): “Poetry creates the myth, the prose writer draws its portrait.– Jean-Paul Sartre

Now taking reservations for June. Contact me directly at: 514-259-5006 or info@abelle.ca

Elegant Makeover and Portrait Session: Abelle Photography

She is a beautiful human being. The kind that makes you want to be a better person.
She’s the mother of three, an inspiring teacher, the daughter of a lobster fisherman, a sister to a number of brothers and sisters, she’s an athlete, she’s a loyal friend, she’s an outstanding volunteer. The first years I spent in Brockville, I jokingly said that she was practically on the cover of every local newspapers. She’s awesome. She looks after everyone and puts others first.glamour makeover photography session by Abelle Photography

Well, wouldn’t you know it, last Saturday, she was the queen of the day. She came in for her hair and makeup makeover. She was offered treats and drinks and got ready for her elegant glamour portrait photography session. She worked the camera and slowly gained confidence as a model. By the end, she was a real pro. Hollywood stars have nothing on this woman. (Doesn’t she look like Julia Roberts?) This is how she started her memorable day. She left to spend the rest of her day with friends, family and her loved one. She left ready to take on the world. She felt empowered. 17_NBoudreau_235-2

“Simplicity is the Keynote of All True Elegance” – Coco Chanel : Abelle Photographie’s Inspiration

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance, said Coco Chanel. Elegance ages well. It is timeles and is always in style. It doesn’t scream 2014 or 2015. It doesn’t scream, ever. Elegance is present in all creative intentions. That was the driving force behind the creation of Abelle and continues to be the focus of our portrait and wedding photography work today. We strive to create simple, timeless and classic images that are as elegant today as they will be in the next two, 5 and 15 years. What is your definition of elegance?
