Claire’s family prefers a simple & clean portrait session for the newborn portraits, which is perfect for my uncluttered style.  We shot this session in my Pittsburgh photography studio.

Studio portraits always usually look nice in black & white because of the higher contrast & directional lighting.

Newborn Twins Michael & Madelyn

I shot this twin newborn session at my photography studio in Pittsburgh.  Michael & Madelyn’s mom & dad came to see me in January for a maternity session, their story is here.

Newborn photography is never simple and session can last as long as 2-3 hours just because babies have a lot of needs to be met!  During a longer session I am not actually shooting portraits for that whole time, it can just take  little longer when baby is fussy (normal!!).  With twins it can go either way!  Double the fussiness or double the sleep!  These two slept for a long stretch right at the beginning of our session, so I got all of these great portraits in a short period of time.

The bottom photo is my favorite because of how their toes are curling up around each other.  Twins!! Love!

Maternity Session with Jaclyn & Thomas | Twins

The year 2015 was a record year for twin births in Pittsburgh, and here at Powder Blue Photography, we couldn’t be happier!  We love twins!

Meet Jackie and Tom, who became parents of twins last week.  These images are from their maternity session, but watch for some adorable newborn twin portraits soon–we shot their session today (!!!), and babies Michael & Madelyn are insanely cute!

Jackie and Tom wanted some outdoor shots, but it was the first week in January!  We could have encountered snowmageddon, or we could have had 75 degrees (like on Christmas Eve, remember?).  The solution was to approach the shoot with flexibility and flow.  (What else can you do when it comes to winter weather?) As it turns out, we were lucky!  It wasn’t an extremely cold day.  So we decided to do some shooting in my studio (above) and some outside, right around the corner from my studio (below).  It was chilly, so we had to work quickly when we were outside.  But it worked out great!

Jackie and Tom were more than ready to be parents, and they are SO excited to be having twins.  I offer maternity sessions as an affordable add-on to clients who book a newborn session with me.  Check out some of my favorite maternity images here.

Now, what’s on that clothesline that Jackie and Tom are holding? If you look closely, you will see two New York Mets newborn-sized onesies, one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy.  So let’s figure this out.  The Mets’ home opener is on April 8… the babies will be around three weeks old.  This could work!

Jackie and Tom are so excited about entering this new phase in their lives, and I am thrilled to be able to help capture their incredible journey.  Newborn images coming soon!
