Twins…..2/2 | South Florida Family Photographer

When I walked into their home Saturday morning, both babies were peacefully sleeping in their pack-n-play bathed softly by the sunlight that was streaming through the sliding glass doors.  I was in awe at the beautiful brother and sister born just the week before.   I wanted to capture them at that moment just as they were.  Totally natural.  The light was gorgeous and the babies were so tiny.

When I placed them on the black velvet, to get some nakey shots, I just let them be.  Baby girl was so peaceful, in and out of slumber.  She watched me.  I’ve never been a fan of newborns photographed with their eyes open, but when she looked at me, I swear she looked IN me.  Her gaze was so intense.

I wanted to capture every nook and cranny.  I love baby parts.  True works of art.

I also love umbilical cords.  I love how the deep purple contrasts with the milky pink skin.  I love what it is.  This crazy purple thing sustained life for 9 months.  

It was a magical session.  I’ve gotten to know this family, and the love that they share is amazing.  The photos are natural, pure, and organic.  Words that have stayed in my mind since first looking over the photos taken that day.  These are the words that I’m going to carry with me as I continue to grow as an artist.  I want my photographs to be all three of those things….natural, pure, organic.  I want to capture you and your family just as they are.  Very little added and nothing taken away.
