Chicago Baby Photographer, Naperville Family Photographer | Goodbyes

This family contacted me to do a family session downtown Chicago.  They lived there, but were saying goodbye to their beloved city and moving to the east coast, so they wanted a session that showed the city in the background to memorialize their time here.  Going outside of the Shedd Aquarium made for the perfect spot. You get Lake Michigan as well as the skyline.  It was a beautiful day, and of course, a gorgeous family with their two month old daughter.

As we walked, I asked how they met,  They have one of the best stories ever – it should be an episode of Grey’s Anatomy or something.  She is a doctor.  He is a medical equipment sales person.  They met in the operating room.  She was doing anesthesia, and he was the sales rep. All they could see were each others’ eyes over the surgical masks.   And she thought he had the most gorgeous eyes….so she flirted.  I know, thank goodness she didn’t have a scalpel in hand! LOL  They talked for a while, the case was coming to a close, and he left.  But she couldn’t stop thinking about the guy with the amazing eyes.  She called her brother that night and told him that she had met her dream guy (though she hadn’t even seen his face).  She asked if she should try to “bump into him” in the hospital, but her brother told her not to. He said “if it’s meant to be, it will be!” So the very next day, she was walking into the pharmacy, and she walked right past him.  She had never seen him without a hat and mask, so she didn’t recognize him at first. When she walked back out of the pharmacy, he was waiting for her. He asked for her number that day, and they’ve been together ever since 🙂  Seriously – is that not an awesome story?!

I really enjoyed this family, and I’m sorry that I won’t have the opportunity to photograph them again since they have moved far away.  They actually moved two days after our session.  I hope they have a wonderful new chapter to their lives but always remember their time in Chicago.
