I was invited to photograph wonderful little Owen at his home in Chicago. Capturing newborns at home is my favorite way to go — so relaxed for everyone and a documentation of this fast-changing time of life.
During the session, I noticed a beautiful engagement portrait of Owen’s parents and commented on how wonderful it was. “This is a really lovely portrait. Who was your photographer?”
“Actually,” said Owen’s dad, “it was my parents. They are portrait and wedding photographers.” Oh great, I thought, so NO PRESSURE to produce good images! I have to admit that my initial paranoia quickly gave way to delight as they were so accommodating and familiar with the equipment, reflectors, etc. We really captured some natural portraits.
Thank you for a wonderful morning — Heidi
