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.

Abelle Portrait and Wedding Photography

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!

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.

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.
