Double The Love: Capturing Newborn Twins
 

Bringing two adorable bundles of joy into the world is a truly magical experience, and I'm the lucky lady that was asked to capture these two beautiful baby girls. 

As a parent of newborn twins, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed with double the love and double the excitement. The newborn phase is over in the blink of an eye and a newborn photoshoot is a gorgeous way to commemorate this precious phase. Here are some things you might want to consider

The Beauty of Newborn Twins:

Twins share an extraordinary bond, and capturing their connection through photography is a beautiful way to preserve those early moments forever. From their tiny fingers and toes to their adorable facial expressions, a newborn twins photoshoot presents endless opportunities to capture these precious moments.
 

Timing is Everything:

Ideally, a newborn photoshoot should take place within the first two weeks of their birth when babies are more likely to sleep deeply and curl up into adorable poses. For all our newborn families we recommend booking a flexible session that we can slide once the babies arrive (we know they will all turn up in their own time)

Create a Comfortable Environment:

All newborn babies need a comfortable and safe environment for their photoshoot. We keep the studio lovely and warm (a little too warm for us adults but the babies love it), we have soothing music and a 'baby shusher' playing in the background, with the studio is prepared with blankets, wraps and props. But this isn't just about the babies, we want Mummy and Daddy to have a great experience too. There are drinks and snacks to enjoy and cosy chairs for your to relax in - and if you want to take a nap - go right ahead. 

Embrace Individuality and Togetherness:

While it's wonderful to capture the twins together, we make sure we also focus on their individuality as well. 

Involve the Parents and Siblings:

A newborn twins photoshoot is a family affair and the perfect time to have your first official family portrait. If you have older siblings, introducing twins to the family can be a big change and having big brother/big sister photos can really help to cement that protective bond.  These photos will not only capture this precious time for you, but they are also beautiful images for your children to cherish as they grow and perhaps share with their own children. 

Patience is Key:

Photographing newborn babies and twins is such a rewarding experience that requires a little patience. The sessions are around 4 hours long and this is to allow time for feeding, nappy changing and as much soothing as a baby needs. I use the 5 S's to try and settle babies, but, very occasionally a baby won't settle and that's okay too. We want it to be an enjoyable experience for everyone and in these rare cases we'll reschedule. 

From their first yawns to their tiny smiles, each moment with a newborn is precious and fleeting.  If you'd like to join us for a newborn photoshoot to capture memories your growing family will treasure for generations to come,  get in touch or have a look at the packages and super cute photos on our website.
