Since I’m catching up on blogging sessions, I wanted to take a little trip back in time to show a fun Christmas photo session I did back in December for some great friends – Patrick, Jessica and Emily. Patrick and I went to high school together, which meant his younger sisters saw plenty of me over the years (you’ll recognize Emily as one of my 2009 senior reps, too!)

Patrick moved to London after college and works there as an architect, and Jessica goes to college in California, so when it came time to pick a Christmas present for their mom, portraits of all three of them seemed like a good way to go. Who knew it would be so Christmas-y downtown?

This session also happened to fall right in the middle of Portland’s huge “Arctic Blast,” which meant there was tons of snow on the ground. I met up with these three after they caught a matinee of “A Christmas Carol” at Portland Center Stage, and then we ran around the Pearl District in the snow and finished up taking photos at the theater in the armory building.

The most important part is that their mom, Susan, loved the photos!
