I had the pleasure of taking formal portraits of the Neonatologists from the University of Minnesota Medical Center. For those of you who are not familiar with the term “Neonatologists,” they are the doctors who treat the babies in the NICU & sometimes the Pediactric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). I was excited, but also a little nervous about this job since it was the first of its kind for me. The hospital had to have someone there from their communications department to make sure that I did not get any patients in any of my pictures due to HIPPA privacy restrictions. This was especially tricky since we took the portraits in the main lobby of the Medical Center! I didn’t want to lug my studio lights and backdrop down there, so I made use of the natural lighting coming in through the large windows. I am so happy with how the portraits came out! My husband was there with my reflector to help with some fill light. I don’t normally use one, but I think the results came out beautifully. They are all amazing doctors, and I was delighted to be the ones to take their portraits!
