Birth is said to be a miracle – and life is said to be a gift.  Watching and holding a newborn – you know that those statements are true.

I am continuously amazed with how the  personality of a little one shines through…even at such an early age, giving others a glimpse potentially in the years to come and causing loved ones to dream a little of what their life may hold. 

Taking the wonder of all of that, multiplying it by two, and adding in two incredible (and proud) parents….and you have twin sisters, Payten and Emmerson and their wonderful family.  I loved witnessing how different they are from each other – yet also seeing them together and some of the tender moments that it seems that only twins can share.  These two are so precious and were amazing to work with – not to mention mom and dad who worked extra hard to cater to their needs and to help make these images what they are.  I definitely couldn’t have done it without them!

Payten, the eldest by 23 minutes, was so alert and patient yesterday as we shot. I absolutely love her eyes and her beautiful head of hair. Emmerson is the youngest, the smallest, yet holds a delicate beauty all of her own.  She is the more serious and analytical one of the two and often had a furrowed brow as it looks like she is trying to figure things out or size you up!  Both are so beautiful and yet so different – and for all of their own amazing reasons.

I can’t wait to see these two grow up and am looking forward to having another session with them when they are 3 months!
