When I know twins are coming in, I feel a tiny bit nervous and more than a tiny bit excited in equal measure.

Newborn twins are tucked up together in a nest wrapped in a brown blanket

I’ve had a good number of twins in the studio over the years, but there’s always something a little daunting about getting two babies to agree to sleep and settle at the same time. It’s also one of the loveliest sessions you can do, and I never want to miss a single opportunity.

These two came in with their parents and I was well prepared with plenty of ideas. One that their parents had specifically requested was getting both of them into the nest together. I won’t pretend it was straightforward. The first two attempts didn’t go well. Each time I tried, one of them decided that an urgent feed was required. Third time was the charm. They settled in beautifully together and the dark tones have a real babes in the wood feel to them that I love.

We got lots of other shots of them together and separately, but this one is a favourite. Mission accomplished.

Newborn Photography in East Grinstead

Newborn photo shoots are best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old. This is when they’re at their sleepiest and curliest, perfect for capturing those beautifully calm and natural images. I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant so we can set a provisional date and adjust once your baby arrives.

Your session takes place in my warm, cosy studio in Crawley Down, designed with your baby’s comfort in mind. Sessions are relaxed and unrushed, and include three digital images of your choice for £95. There’s no sales session, just a private online gallery where you can view and choose your favourites in your own time.
