Am I seeing Double???? Twins

Hollie Hull

About a month ago I received a phone call from an expectant mother of twins.  She was due to have them in about 5 weeks and was interested in doing a few shots of them as newborns.  I immediately was super-excited about getting the opportunity to shoot newborn twins!

Knowing that most moms of multiples go early, I told her to give us a ring whenever they came knocking…I was dismayed when weeks went by and we hadn’t heard back.

Well, the phone call came about a week ago and that sweet little mom had indeed gone early, like a couple of days after we spoke!  Although they were technically a month old when we shot them, they were 3 days shy of their due date ringing in at 5 1/2 and 6 pounds.  Thankfully, they came out healthy and happy and were released to go home after only spending 5 days in the hospital!  How about them apples, eh?!

We’ve shot twinkles before, but not newborns, so we were thrilled to get to work with this little guy and gal.

They did just great.  LOTS of hand-holding and cuddling – just what you would hope for as a parent (and photographer)!

Thanks for being our very first newborn twins, Ellie and Ramsey!
