the twins come to the studio

The new twins (described in an earlier blog) came to the studio today to be photographed. A boy and a girl, both look quite different. One has fair hair, the other dark.

Anne photographed them both together and then separately. Their mother also brought her mother along to help, as it’s quite a production to go out and about, and as all mothers know, there is always lot of luggage involved.

When Anne had finished shooting the twins were asleep, so they were dressed and their mother popped them in one of the cots kept in the studio. It seemed a pity to wake them to take them home, so Anne suggested that the mom and her mother might like to go out and have lunch at a café close by. The mother hesitated for a moment, perhaps wondering if she was imposing, but to the contrary, everyone, including the nurse we have for all shoots, was excited at the thought of being able to have a set of tiny twins with us for a little longer. We reassured the mother that if they woke up, we could call her straight away or even could walk them around to the café in their stroller.

When the mother returned, she commented what a treat it had been to share a meal together, whilst the twins were still so young. The team at the studio did not have to do anything, because the twins slept for the whole time.

Everyone kept peering into the cot to check on them, but I think that was an excuse to just keep looking at them because they are so tiny and so beautiful.
