Christina's session lasted for many hours and resulted in one of my most fun portraits session yet. It was a great session to help kick off the new year. Christina's session is called, "A Day in the Life of Christina Moore," that is exactly what it turned into. As a native of Portland her heart definitely belongs to this city. She attends college in the Midwest and every time she comes home she spends time in her favorite places. Most of these places are in one of the most unique and special places in the state of Maine, the Old Port in Portland. Christina's favorite spot in the whole world is the Portland Pier, even when it has just snowed (like in this session) and so cold you can't feel your fingers through your mittens. Christina is full of life and brings out the best in all of her friends. I have had the privilege of knowing Christina for roughly four years and my life has truly been blessed since she has been in it! I was thrilled when she was up for a photo shoot and contacted me while I was in Old Orchard visiting family. To start the session we first got breakfast at Hot Suppa, which is an adorable little cafe on Congress Street, it is definitely a place to check out if you are in the area. When we finally reached the pier, all we both could do was laugh. I have never photographed Christina before and so giggles were all you could hear. I think the fishermen a few feet away probably got a great laugh along with us. Ri-Ra was the next stop and is Christina's favorite Irish Pub, or place to eat and hang out in general. Fun fact about Ri-Ra, the bar was directly sent here from Ireland. The pub was gorgeous and the bartender loved the fact we were doing a session in there and Christina even got to go behind the bar, which apparently is never allowed. Another great spot we hit was the Citadel Radio Station where her Dad works. We got to spend a little time with him and go on the roof top for some fabulous photos of Christina looking over her city. While we were there Christina did her own radio thing and again laughter was basically the only thing that everyone got to hear and see from the outside. I feel so lucky to have Christina as a client and in my portfolio because she is the most gorgeous red haired girl I have ever met and has a contagious smile, even through photos.
Oh, I forgot to mention we also stumbled upon a beyond beautiful graffiti wall, that we later found out changes every day! How cool is that!?
