Twins 2 week old photo shoot

In my haste and excitement in posting these photos the first time, I failed to give proper credit to our photographer. This photo shoot was given to us by the photographer, Jenny Joy Photography, (www.jennyjoyblog.com) for free as a special promotional offer. We were very fortunate to be given this free photo session, in our home, when the babies were 2 weeks old. Being a free session, we got to keep all the digital negatives in their original, raw, unedited form and as a special gift we were given 15 of the images edited. In posting the first time, I failed to give our photographer credit for the amazing work she did on the images she edited and did not differentiate between the work she did and the editing I did on the raw images given to us. I've rearranged the post to show the images she worked on and the images that were unedited by her and either left in their raw, original form or edited by me at home.

We are delighted at how all of the pictures taken turned out- the photographer did an amazing job capturing such beautiful and precious poses and moments that we will remember forever.

All of the images were taken by our photographer, but the first group are the shots that the photographer edited and worked many, many hours on. They look amazing:

The "little old man" shot....

These bookshelf shots were Ben's idea. The photographer was hesitant to do them, for obvious reasons (tiny babies falling off 4 shelves up, us blaming him) but we finally talked him into doing it. Alexis (on left) was perfectly positioned, all on her doing and was dead asleep. Leah was not quite as asleep and not quite as perfectly positioned, but still cute.

Lexi was so dead asleep and still, we were tempted to leave her there to take a nap!

The rest of the images are the digital negatives given to us, untouched by the photographer's amazing editing skills. Any editing was done by me. I still have to give most of the credit to the photographer for how the images look- such an amazing job was done just in how the picture was taken, and some of these are just the raw negatives.

I know this is like the third picture in this same pose, but she looks so angelic.

This shot really shows off all their differences- Lexi has slightly darker skin, is bigger in body, head and face, and has more hair that is darker in color. We have absolutely no trouble telling them apart.

Now how will we ever choose which ones to print??
