It is always such a blessing to see first time parents with their sweet babies – but when you know the story behind it, when you were there to witness the longing and the long wait, well, the blessing is that much sweeter.  And this beautiful couple could not be happier with their precious babies.  They are so proud of these two tiny people.  Of course they aren’t sleeping, and it takes an army to get out of the house, or to get everyone fed and changed, and of course their whole world has changed, but they wouldn’t have it any other way.

And what an amazing experience to have my first set of newborn twins be with such wonderful friends.  I knew it would be hard – and it was!  I was wiped out, physically and mentally, but it was worth every minute.  These babies are so beautiful and it is hard to put into words how incredible it was to work with not one, but two tiny little beings at the same time.  Getting the timing right, the posing right, the everything right was all a bit trickier than it is with one newborn, but I think it made it that much more rewarding when a pose came together.  When it all worked it was almost like magic…

Thank you Pooks and Lulu for the brown little boy hat and the sweet red and silver holiday headband, Sew Whimsey for the lovely burlap headband, If the Crown Fits for the beautiful Arden Crown and Bekima Knits for the darling Knotted Santa.

PS I would love to hear your feedback!  If 15 of the twin’s friends and family make comments on this blog post and 15 become new fans on the studio facebook page (the same person can do both if they would like – just leave a comment on the FB page that you are a new fan!) I will gift his Mom and Dad an extra 5×7 print as a thank you gift.  Thanks for visiting my blog ♥ Renee

    Renee,
    I am Ginger’s mom and a first-time grandmother of these incredible little beauties. Your photsgraphs were so artfully crafted that I cried at every one. I was a yearbook advisor for fourteen years and took hundreds of pictures at many events. I know how difficult it is to capture that perfect shot and you captured sixty!! Thank you so, so much.

    I am the other proud Grandma of these delightful babies. I had the pleasure of being at the photo shoot. I am amazed on the technique and the over 4 hour session it took to get thesse amazing shots. What a wonderful job you have Renee, one picture is more beautiful than the next. I am in awe of the work that you do. God is good.
