Christmas Family Portrait Session: 2nd Edition

It’s that time of the year again: family portrait photography sessions taken just in time for the holiday season greeting card writing tradition. Lately, I’ve been blessed with repeat clients who, every November, schedule a date with us to share a moment of fun. I get to catch up with the parents and hear about projects, summer vacation and past family events. The best part is seeing the kids grow up and seeing the family grow in number. I feel like the trusted family photographer and it makes me feel blessed and fuzzy-hearted.
Last week-end, I drove to Ottawa to meet this happy and energetic bunch. I had photographed them 2 years ago about the same time. See how the children have changed! And then there were three.

Beautiful portrait of the eldest of the family. Shot taken candidly between posed session. Yes, Ms. Beautiful is sporting a natural scratch on the nose, thank you.

Newborn Photography Session: Julie + Mark = Liam

We met at the Elegant Wedding Show in 2010. They were married at Chantecler, near Montreal, in January of 2012. Their real-wedding story made it to the pages of Wedding Bells. They attended my 40th surprise barn-dance birthday party, and now I’m pleased to introduce their son Liam. We spent most of the day together and between feeding, diaper changes and giggles, we created these amazing family portraits. How cute is this?

Here is a link to Liam’s image gallery: http://abelle.ca/bebe-portrait

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?

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.
