TWINS: breaking the rules

So, I usually encourage clients to book newborn sessions before 10 days old for several reasons:

1) Babies change SO quickly that you'll want to capture this fleeting stage before they change again (right before your very eyes).

2) Mom and Dad are usually so sleep deprived that they can barely remember how to operate their camera, much less remember to take it out.

3) Newborns under 10 days old are sleepy, curly, ADORABLE, and don't suffer from baby acne.

With that, I present to you the rule breakers--these babies are 6 weeks old, were sleepy, curly and SUPER adorable, perfect skin (I believe these are the first babies I've met who never had baby acne), and Mom and Dad were on their toes helping me with the shoot.

TWIN NEWBORNS: they really are as sweet as they look

Ok-confession time--I was nervous walking into this shoot. I love, LOVE newborns, but this is the youngest set of twins that I've photographed and I know babies can be unpredictable. But this pair was perfect! They were the ideal subjects to break me in and I'm hooked! And if I remember correctly--the last of this bunch is baby girl sleeping in her mom's (and her mom's mom's) bassinet-so sentimental.

TWINS: on the loose

These twin girls had lots of "firsts" on their first photo shoot (with me). I believe this was their first experience with bubbles, their first trip to the park, and quite possibly their first time eating stuff from the grass. :)

Thank you also to a previous client for gifting this session to this great family! And speaking of gifts-keep your eye out for a promo coming up...

The more, the merrier

This fun couple has fun-loving twin girls who are up for anything! I came close to their nap time and I was afraid the girls would be too tired to smile and play, but once we got to the park-they were all grins and giggles! And if you look closely at the bottom picture, mommy is enjoying a wet LICK from her baby girl! :)

Blues all around!

I had the pleasure of photographing these siblings with the most beautiful blue eyes. The girls are twins and their brother is just 2 years older. Mom has done a wonderful job raising such well-behaved children. We all had lots of fun running around and looking for trees to climb.
