Attracting Clients I Deserve: Abelle Portraits

The web makes learning accessible. I use it as part of my regular training to perfect the mastery of my craft, I follow a number of entrepreneurs and leaders in my industry. I am constantly watching and listening to webinars and podcasts. Like every day. Like all the time.

The other day, while listening to a business webinar, the influential speaker said this: «You attract the clients you deserve.» In other words, you attract clients who are aligned with your energy. This line has stayed with me since.

I struggle with the confidence in the service I provide and the quality of the work I produce for people. I have come to understand that and expect it. I know many artists and soul-preneurs feel the same way because our soul is part and parcel of the service we provide for others. Indeed, portrait photography is my labor of love.

These are some of the lovely souls that have come into my life in 2018.

When I read this line over and over again: «You attract the clients you deserve.», I am at a loss for words to express my gratitude toward the clients who come into my studio. All I know is I am one darn-lucky and blessed human being!

Before and After Baby Number Three: Family Portrait Sessions

Leave a reply

This next photo shoot, actually photo shoots, is of a gorgeous family of 5. Made up of three little boys who are full of beans, a mom and a dad, a dog and chickens. There is never a dull moment in this household.
Only a few weeks after delivering baby number 3, she was out on the ski hill with the two oldest boys.

Then came boy number 3: Grayson.

When I met them this Fall, they were just finishing some major home renovations including an entire addition. Where they find the energy, I don’t know. All I know is that this family is GORGEOUS, friendly, funny and authentic. I love them to bits.

People often ask What do you do? “I am a photographer’ isn’t enough“. This is what I do: I photograph connections and love and give families heirloom images of moments. Portraits that will stand the test of time. It is an honour and a privilege to do this for people and their families.

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.

Girlfriends that go way back. I saw these young teenagers grow into beautiful women.

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.

Tasty homemade doughnuts!hie.

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.

Mother-Daughter Family Portrait Shoot near Montreal by Abelle Photographie

Leave a reply

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.
