PESO: The Wonder Twins

2013-07-17 Thread Christine Nielsen
Last week, I had the opportunity to shoot newborn twins. As a photographer, as a mother of 3, I thought I was up to the challenge... HA! My visions for smooshy faces, peaceful swaddled bundles, teeny bare bottoms... were no match for fussy 2 week olds with tummy trouble (reflux, milk allergies)

Christine, Fun shot. Get some food in those two little suckers! (My daughter-in-law's sister has a 3 week old, shown here with Great Grandma @ her 100th birthday.) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17465164 Lucky for us, she was sleeping. Regards, Bob S. On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 3:44 PM, Chr

Thanks, Bob! It's been a while since I had newborns around here... they are so scrawny! I think once these little guys get their issues sorted out, they will be packing it away like champs! Nice shot of the three generations. :) -c On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 5:34 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: > Christ

A young woman I know photographs babies a lot. She said a small space heater is one of the important pieces of equipment. Both to keep the little babies warm and, as you said, to keep them sleepy. gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Wed, Jul 17, 2

Yes, the white noise helps, as well... My hat is off to photographers that can wrangle newborn twins, and keep their cool. I learned a few lessons the other day, hopefully I'll have another shot at it someday... :) -c On Jul 17, 2013, at 6:48 PM, George Sinos wrote: A young woman I know pho
