A Thanksgiving Blessing: Twin NICU Newborn Photography Session
Born the day after Thanksgiving, these two sweet baby girls arrived as a perfect "Black Friday deal" for their loving parents—a 2-for-1 on precious blessings! Their journey in the NICU has already been remarkable, and I was honored to capture their story through my lens.
When I met this incredible family, both girls were already showing amazing progress. They were off their CPAP machines, their umbilical lines and PICC lines had been removed, and they were only hooked up to monitors and feeding tubes—a huge milestone for preemies born at such a delicate age.
At birth, these tiny fighters weighed just 2 pounds 8 ounces and 2 pounds 16 ounces, measuring 16 inches and 16.75 inches long. Despite their small size, they are strong and thriving! Although I’m not sure if they are identical twins, their resemblance is striking—two peas in a pod!
It was an absolute joy to photograph these darling girls and document their early days for their family. Sessions like these remind me how resilient and extraordinary these little ones are, even in the earliest days of life.
