I don't know if I am posting this in the right place, but I am going to shoot some pictures of newborn twins this week or next. I was hoping to see some examples of what others have done specifically with newborn twins, and any tricks or tips you may have. I am NOT a professional, and do not have any studio equipment. I will be going to their house, with my Digital Rebel, I have the 55mm zoom and 300mm zoom.

Thank you!

I don't have any examples to show, but I do have a twin sister. The only advice I can give is to be receptive. If you back off and give the two some space, you will probably be able to get some great shots of them feeding off of each other. Good luck!

The only ones I ever took pics of were our own LOL.
What we did alot was laid them down on their tummys place on a lil higher up than the other one so you can see both heads at the same time.
Another thing you can do is lay them side by side and shoot from the top of them do the tummys and the backs. I always laid something under the blanket I was shooting on to kinda get them up a lil bit when shooting their faces.
Find a cute basket that might hold both of them.
Get mom and dad or one or the other to wear black long sleeve shirt have them hold them in mid air while you shoot them.
If you really wanted to get cute you could fix them as if they were kissing laying on their sides facing each other.
If you can get all 4 feet in a pic that would be cute to.
