Twice the Fun, Twice the Joy, Twice the Work…

Its no secret that I adore my twin girls, they are so uniquely different, yet equally silly.  I attempted at the very last minute to snap some pictures for a birthday invitation for their upcoming 2nd birthday by myself and what an adventure that was.  I am used to having an extra set of hands during my session to keep the baby in place, so keeping two where I needed, well it wasn’t easy.   It was something that I felt I had to do, only because I did it for my older daughter. I’ve learned over the years that sometimes simple is best and decided to have a very small celebration for them since our house has been overtaken with *stuff*  I still felt they deserved a formal invitation if even if it was only going to their grandparents and aunts and uncles….  Well, I should have just settled for Alexander Graham Bell’s wonderful invention….the telephone because my silly girls wore me out!    They have only had two lollypop’s in their life, both at times of desperation trying to get a shot of them in the same frame…. this time the lollypop only lasted about 2 minutes, and they were moving on.   I got lucky for another two minutes and they both decided to play *car* in my little box, but my overall vision of them holding hands in their little tutus went down the drain rather quickly.   Its rough being a photographer’s child and they make sure to make me work for every shot, but I am not going to complain because it won’t be too long before they are learning to read and write and sitting still for me.  I love these little girls, they are so much fun and TWO is such a wonderful age.  I thought you might get a chuckle out of my little photo session with the girls.
