Javafx How to display image captured from web cam in imageview in another scene

I have this fxml layout. When I click on take photo it opens a screen for me to take a picture using web cam

Dialog layout to take pic from web cam

I want the picture captured on the web cam to replace the dummy image on the fxml layout beside take photo button.Here are my files:
FXML layout containing dummy image and take photo button

<HBox prefHeight="79.0" prefWidth="232.0" spacing="30.0">
<children>
<VBox prefHeight="100.0" prefWidth="100.0">
<children>
<ImageView fx:id="profilePic" fitHeight="99.0" fitWidth="118.0" nodeOrientation="INHERIT" pickOnBounds="true">
<image>
<Image url="@../images/profile_photo.png" />
</image>
</ImageView>
</children>
</VBox>
<VBox prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="100.0">
<children>
<Button mnemonicParsing="false" onAction="#takePhoto" text="Take Photo">
<font>
<Font size="13.0" />
</font>
<VBox.margin>
<Insets bottom="20.0" top="10.0" />
</VBox.margin>
</Button>
<Button mnemonicParsing="false" onAction="#pickPhoto" prefHeight="31.0" prefWidth="85.0" text="Upload ">

<Font size="13.0" />
</font>
<VBox.margin>

Controller for the FXML Layout

public class AddParentController implements Initializable {


@Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {

}

public void doAll(){
ImageSelection.getImageSelectionInstance().imageProperty()
.addListener((obs, oldImage, newImage) -> profilePic.setImage(newImage));
}


public void takePhoto(){
try {
Stage dialogStage = new Stage(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
BorderPane root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../views/WebCamPreview.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 850, 390);
dialogStage.setUserData("fromAddParent");
dialogStage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
dialogStage.setScene(scene);
dialogStage.show();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
