I had the incredible privilege to fulfill a dream of mine; photograph newborn twins this past October. Newborn portraits are my absolute favorite thing to photograph. The sweet cuddly babies. The incredibly special time as brand new parents. There is just nothing like it to me. Of all the types of sessions I do and have done, newborn portraits are hands down my very favorite.
When I first started working with these sweet babies I have to admit, I felt a little overwhelmed. What poses am I going to do with two babies? How am I going to get the right light on both of their faces? How am I going to keep them both calm? I think it is completely normal for these types of overwhelming thoughts to happen when you are attempting something new. The thing is, you have to get past the fear of failure and just try, Try your very, very best. This is what I did and I have to say, I am so incredibly thrilled with how these turned out. It took some work, some knowledge, and patience. None of these adorable images happened on accident. Well, the smiles weren’t planned. Those were happy surprises that these precious babies gave me. Well, their mama, really.
I met the Smith family at their home for their newborn session. Typically these sessions take place between Ruston and Shreveport, Louisiana but this one was an exception. I traveled all the way to Florida for these precious babies!! Was it worth the trip? Every. Single. Second. Not only did I fulfill a dream of mine. I also got some of my very best newborn images to date. No joke. At least in my opinion.
These precious boys were born at 36 weeks and so healthy and strong. They are doing so wonderful and their parents are so incredible to with these little guys. I could keep going on and on about how precious and adorable, and all the adjectives to describe the cuteness of these guys and how excited I am to share these with y’all but if I do that you’ll never see the images. So let’s get to the good part.
