![]() If you have a wide awake inquisitive newborn, they may not sleep at all. If you have a sleepy, snuggly newborn, they’ll likely sleep during our session. My goal during your newborn session is to preserve the memories of your child as they are, taking into account their unique personalities. If they happen to fall asleep during a session– great! We will capture pictures of them sleeping. This is easy, I don’t! Getting your baby to sleep is not my priority in a lifestyle newborn session. How Do You Get Twin Newborns to Sleep at the Same Time? ![]() ![]() Even though they are not identical, this makes it easier in the future to immediately tell the girls apart even in photographs where their faces are not showing. I sometimes find it hard to tell the difference between some of my boys’ pictures and they are not identical twins! This family chose matching dresses in different colors for their girls. Even though twin parents can usually easily tell their children apart during their session, it will get harder as years pass and they look back upon their pictures. If you have identical twins, I would suggest not dressing them in matching white onesies. Lighter skin tones should avoid red/yellow tones if possible as it can accentuate the tricky parts of newborn skin. Outfits should be well-fitting (this is the time for premie or newborn sized clothes!) and without large patterns. Newborn babies look best when the focus is on their beautiful details and not on their outfits. The “rules” for outfit selection with twins are by and large the same as a singleton baby. Hearts full, hands fuller! What Should Twins Wear? When I take solo portraits of your baby on your bed, a portion of them will have your babies together but it’s still the same pose/location I would photograph one baby in. The picture I take of your crib may have two infants in it at once…or if you have two cribs, there will be two in the photograph. Instead of one baby in their parents arms, there are two! When I take an overhead shot of your laps as you admire your baby, there are two instead of one. I do not do anything differently in my posing work for twins than I do for a single baby. I am also documenting what your life and home looks like when you welcome your new babies home. One of my favorite aspects of lifestyle sessions are that they are done in your personal space. The master bedroom, the nursery (if there is one) and the family room are my favorite options for comfort and ease of posing the whole family. Just like when photographing a singleton, the focus is on the areas of your home that have the best light. We will be sure to get each child’s individual details as we go but the focus is on this monumental “family” event. However, most of my posing is family-focused so the majority of my galleries have the whole family together or mother/father with both babies. Sometimes twin sessions take a little bit longer because there are two babies to photograph. The timing for a twin session is largely the same, 90 minutes on average. The focus is on the comfort of your babies and the flow of the session is still child-led. Twin newborn lifestyle photography is quite similar to singleton newborn lifestyle photography. ![]() The short answer is that it doesn’t differ much. Have you ever wondered how a twin newborn session differs from a singleton newborn session?
