Another Lifestyle Session: Twin Style!

I was pretty excited when Chelsea told me she wanted to do a lifestyle session for her upcoming newborn photos (in addition to her studio session). This was only my 2nd true lifestyle session, so I still need lots more practice....good thing I LOVE them! Both of my lifestyle sessions now have told me how much less stressful and relaxing it is to do them in their own home. There are no worries about forgetting certain outfits...and it's a lot easier for your child to be in their own home. Big brother did an amazing job of course!

Joelle and Jonah!

Here are a few more from the twins studio session! I totally knew a newborn twin session would be a lot of work...but it was even harder than I thought. Coming up with poses for two different sized babies was a little challenging (and two different skin colors- Joelle was fighting off a little bit of jaundice, and Jonah was a nice bright pink color). Getting them to both be asleep at the same time was probably the hardest part...but just like every other newborn (except their big brother, who to this day, is the ONLY newborn I haven't gotten to sleep during a session) they stayed asleep for a good solid hour and I was able to do a majority of these shots during that time. Even with all the hard work, squats, and sweating, it was worth every minute. Interesting fact: pretty much every newborn session I end up with a huge pile of laundry from spitup, pee, and poop, so I totally expected at least double since this session was so much longer and their are two of them. But no, we only had ONE pee accident the entire time...and I wasn't PEED or POOPED on..crazy huh?

Grayson

This little guy gave me quite the work out. He was my first newborn of the year, and wanted to be sure he made it memorable for me I guess. It took us about 2 hours to get him to sleep, but once he was asleep, he was like putty in my hands :)

Declan!

Declan is one of the tinest, my snuggly babies I have ever held. I am sure eventually it will drive his sleepy mama crazy, but I love how much he loves being snuggled up tight. I can't wait to see this little guy grow up....but not too fast!

Peanut

This sweet little girl is probably one of the smallest babies I have ever photographed. Big babies stay asleep better, but small babies are easier to pose :). She did great though once we finally got her asleep she was out cold. The best part...she lives just a couple doors down from me so I have pretty easy snuggle access :)
