Melbourne Wedding, Engagement, Newborn and Baby Photographer

I always wanted twins. Well, actually, I really wanted triplets – just to be different.  Having twins would be too ‘ordinary’.  When we found out we were pregnant with Jaedon we praying desperately to see two tiny bodies pop up during our first ultrasound.  At that stage though I think it had more to do with getting our dream of having two children done in one hit.  Obviously we didn’t pray hard enough.
I was about 14 weeks pregnant with Alicia-Rae by the time I had my first check-up, where I was told by both midwives present they would be very surprised if I wasn’t having twins. Too late, God.  We already knew how much work just one child is – we certainly weren’t praying for two this time around. I must have been indulging my pregnancy related sweet-tooth just a bit too much though, as it turned out there was just one in there, and I was simply about 6 weeks bigger than I should have been.  I hate to admit it, but I breathed a big sigh of relief.

That’s why I’m always so impressed when I turn up for a twins session and am greeted calmly by a mum and dad with everything under control, appearing as though they’ve been parents all their lives. And parents to not just one child, but two.  That’s what Alex and John’s parents were like. They were incredibly relaxed, warm, carefree people who were clearly in love with their little boys, and thoroughly enjoying parenthood.
Maybe I just caught them on a good day. I hope so. That way I can feel a bit better about wondering how I survived doing it one at a time.  They just made it look too easy.

Their two little guys are totally gorgeous though - it was easy to see why mum’s face lit up whenever they were near, and why dad was so proud and soft at the same time (and I mean that in a good way, Les).  Even I was proud of the way they handled the session.  Thank you so much for having me over, Sharryn and Les. It really was a pleasure to spend some time with you, and capture a small piece of your lives together. You all make such a lovely little family.
Here’s a few of your images that I just had to share. Each one of them bought a smile to my face as they filled my monitor.

This last one in particular fills my face with the biggest grin imaginable – it’s just pure adorableness. 

Thanks again, guys. Your boys were such a joy to photograph.  I’m so glad you found me in the end.
