I need HELP! I have never shot twins before! If you have a shot you can share (make sure it's okay to show the pics in the open forum), I'd love to see what you did. I'm doing the session this week, babies born last week. I need help with lighting for a boy and a girl and what to do with the Mom so she can be in some of the pics! Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

I'm sure that you can handle it, but generally I'd resist taking those shots this early. They look much better at 6 months old & even have some "personality" then.

I thought about that, but they are so little, I thought I'd get the little girl in her Dad's hand. Love those types of shots. The babies are actually large for twins and were full-term at birth. But I will call the Mom this week to ask. Thanks for the advice, Frank.

Suzy...I would love to see what you did with the twins...I have 15 month old twins and have really enjoyed photographing them.
