Elegant Beauty Makeover and Studio Photo Shoot: Abelle Fine Portraits

We met at a business luncheon. Months later, Ms Judy contacted me. She was ready for her beauty makeover and glamour photo shoot experience. This natural beauty moved so well in front of the camera. These are a few of the dozens of stunning portraits we created in the studio. Below is what she had to say about the shoot.

“I want to share how enjoyable my experience was during my beauty makeover and photo shoot with Isabelle. It is so nice that we have this service available right here in Brockville. I arrived at the studio and was made to feel very comfortable. Isabelle explained the process to put me at ease and we started with a couple of ‘before’ shots. I then moved into another room for the transformation of my hair and makeup with Erica. This was fun and I learned tidbits of advice regarding doing makeup and using hair product. Once the hair and makeup was completed, Isabelle had chosen some outfits from the clothes I had brought along for the photo shoot and we began the photography session. I will admit that I was a little nervous but she put me completely at ease. It is amazing to watch her at work creating the perfect lighting and poses. With a few simple words, she was able to direct me to create poses that were not only artistic but also strategically made me look the most beautiful, slender and relaxed before the camera. We changed outfits and with each one Isabelle was able to create the perfect pose for the mood expressed by that piece of clothing.

I must admit, in my family I have always been the one taking photos of everyone else. Rarely will you see me in pictures taken a family events or vacations. I have felt awkward in front of the camera, never knowing quite how to smile or what facial expressions to give. Isabelle was a genius at giving me directions to elicit the look she wanted to evoke. It was effortless and fun and I felt more beautiful than ever before.

Once the photos were processed, I came back to the studio to view the finished products. I was amazed at how lovely the photographs looked with just the right lighting, poses and expressions. There were so many great shots it was difficult to choose which ones I wanted.

Thank you Isabelle for such a great experience and highly recommend having a beauty makeover photo shoot. I guarantee you will never realize the beauty others see in you until you have your own session.”

I also wanted to share a bit about Judy’s interesting life: 
“I have had several careers in my life: physiotherapist, lactation consultant, scuba dive master, business administrator; also hockey/baseball/lacrosse mom to two sons and a boat racing wife to a hydroplane boat racer.

Currently I am an author of an action/adventure novel with a message: Voices in the Wilderness (by Judith Utman). I have recently embarked on a new adventure taking a modelling and acting course for a new phase in my life. Who knows where this will take me! This photo shoot is a wonderful experience for modelling in the future.”

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.
