Top 5 Tips

Twin baby photography, my 5 top tips.
Twin posing for newborn baby photography needs planning. I usually have a shoot list created for my client after having an online or phone consulation. This with incorporate any styling wishes, which props and blanket colours to be used.
Remember with Twin baby photography every baby pose the larger twin should be placed in position first.
Try to get some single images of each baby, per pose. Think about hands, if the babies can be tweaked to eithe cuddle, hand touch, or even look like they are in conversation. It gives the images more emotional connection.

Twin baby photography my Top 5 Tips

  1. Twin babys posed with Family members.

    Solo group and extras. Nanny , big brother or sister, Mum & Dad. Lots of options for posing babies. Remember to always place the larger twin first with twin baby photography.Family photos

  2. Connection

    With twin photography if you can get connection through hand placement, you can capture some fabulous portraits. Alway try to make them look like they are cuddling or whispering, or holding hands.twin baby photography

  3. Twins posed in Parents Hands

    I love the parent hand poses, they show scale and the fragility of a newborn, this is even more so with twins as you get the connection option too..
    Use the bean bag or pose/ feeding cushion with a dark cloth on to support.

  4. Twins posed in Props.

    When posing the twins in a prop forward, place the larger twin in first, followed by the smaller twin overlapping. Style up with hats and headbands if that floats your boat. Or keep it simple with textured layers.
    Second prop pose is on top of a prop, such as a small suitcase.  Place the larger twin in tushie up use cushion ‘beans’ to help support the weight on the smaller second twin in chin on wrist pose.
    3rd Prop is nested in a bed/bowl/box with layers.
