I’m slowly but surely catching up on my blogging—just in time for the busy Fall Family Photos season, so I’m sure I’ll "fall" behind again soon (see what I did there?). Blogging is a bit like laundry... just when you think you're caught up, there's always more to do!
But you know what? I don’t mind one bit. I genuinely love sharing the highlights from my sessions and giving a little peek behind the scenes of what goes on in the studio. It’s such a joy to build relationships with my clients and capture those fun, adorable, and unforgettable moments.
If you’ve ever noticed that I refer to clients as "Mom," "Dad," or "baby" (and a few other playful names), it’s not because I’ve forgotten anyone’s name! I actually have a pretty good memory. But I value my clients’ privacy, and using these little terms helps me keep that respect while sharing all the magic we create together.
I’m so excited to share this beautiful twins session with you today! Not too long ago, I blogged about their maternity session when these two little peanuts were still tucked away in a gorgeous baby bump. And now, here they are!
I probably shouldn’t admit how far behind I am in blogging (oops!), but these sweet twins will be back in the studio in just a few days for their first birthday cake smash! I can’t wait to see how much they’ve grown and changed—it’s incredible how much happens in just one year!
These sweet little kiddos are identical twins! I really had to stay on my toes to make sure I was photographing the right baby at the right time. Both of them were absolute stars during their session, though my assistant (who’s also a fellow photographer and was pregnant at the time!) and I couldn’t help but laugh at a funny thought—we joked that we could probably just photograph one of them and no one would notice! Of course, that’s not true—Mom knew exactly who was who in an instant, and obviously, we’d never do such a thing! But it gave us a good giggle as we snuggled, wrapped, and captured these two adorable babies.
This session couldn’t have gone more smoothly! Both babies were super sleepy and easygoing throughout. Normally, there’s one twin who’s a little more “spicy” than the other, but if that happened, it must have slipped my memory by now—haha! What I do remember is how beautifully everything went. I was able to capture some sweet moments of the girls together and, of course, individual shots of each little one, too.
I like to keep the setups similar, but I switch things up with a different headband or bonnet for each baby. It helps the photos feel cohesive while still showing that they’re unique individuals.
Family photos can be a bit more of a challenge, though—it’s almost like juggling babies! You want to make sure each one gets their moment to shine while also finding that perfect balance of posing them together with their parents. But in the end, it all comes together beautifully!
A huge thank you to my amazing "assistant" AND incredible photographer friend who joined me for this session! Your help was invaluable in keeping the babies happy, safe, and comfortable throughout the shoot. I couldn't have done it without your support and steady hands—everything ran so smoothly thanks to you! It’s always a joy working together!
A heartfelt thank you to my wonderful clients for trusting me to capture these special moments with your twins! It was such a joy working with your little ones, and I’m beyond excited to see them again for their cake smash session. I can't wait to see how much they've grown and to celebrate their big milestone together!
And finally, a big thank you to everyone reading this blog and following along on social media! Your support means the world to me, and I truly appreciate every like, comment, and kind word. It’s such a joy to share these moments with you, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the journey!
Thank you again for being here and following along! I can't wait to share more sweet moments and exciting sessions with you soon. Stay tuned—there's always more magic to come!
