Newborn twins photoshoot in London

When this family contacted me after their twin baby girls were born, they were really clear that they wanted a very relaxed newborn photoshoot.

They wanted the whole experience to feel “organic” (their own words) and that’s what we did. I met this family of five (newborn twins, their older 4 year-old sister, mum & dad) in their Forest Hill home in South East London and we spent a couple of hours in their living room as it’s the room their family spends most of their time.

For this mum, photos of her breastfeeding her 7-week-old twin babies was very important to tell the story of their early weeks. I am always respectful of this intimate and personal moment and I always check with the mum that she is happy for me to take photos during this time.

Big sister was talking her new role very seriously….well, most of the time. Imagine how funny her little sisters will find these photos when they’re older :-)

A calm moment between Mum & her baby girl

It is fascinating to see newborn babies looking so intensely at their mum

While mum changes the nappy, big sister entertains her baby sister.

Introducing these gorgeous and adorable baby twin sisters to the world with their loving parents.

Mum and dad really wanted photos of their eldest daughter with her baby sisters; they know that these photos will have so much meaning to them when they are older. These photos will say how much their big sister cared for them from day one, that their bond was already unbreakable, that they will be here for each other for the rest of their lives.

A dream twin photoshoot: I managed to capture lots of adorable moments with each baby on their own as well as together.

Who said family portraits had to be posed and formal? I love this family photo because it already shows so much about this family in the looks, the reactions, the smiles, etc… Can you imagine what your family do in this set-up?

A newborn or baby photoshoot can be booked at any point, either before or after your baby is born. I believe every age is fascinating and worth photographing so don’t worry if you have missed the early newborn stage. One thing I know for sure is that they won’t stay little for long! So if you are interested to give your little one(s) a keepsake of your family together, get in touch with me and let me know what you are after. Share your vision with me and I’m sure we can create the right photos for you together.
