Triplets!

This sweet family had been trying for a while to have children. After a round of IVF with only 2 eggs, they were hoping for one healthy baby. But when they went to their first ultrasound, they were shocked to learn that not only had one egg implanted, but both had... AND one of the eggs had split into identical twins! So that makes... 1... 2... 3!

I was a little nervous about this shoot because I have never tried to photograph 3 newborns at once. They were quite good, however it is very difficult to get them all sleeping at the same time! And if you do... it doesn't last long! I can't imagine all the literal sleepless nights these sweet parents go through! Equally as difficult is trying to get them all awake at the same time as well!

But I have to say, I think they are worth it ;) They are beautiful and sweet as can be!

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SITTING!! I am the triplets great aunt, and I worked as a portrait photographer for over 15 years. During that time I did, occasionally, run across triplets, and I KNOW how difficult it is to get good pictures of a group this young. It's TOUGH! But these pictures are absolutely wonderful! I tend to be really picky, but I couldn't have done better at all. Thank you for taking the time necessary to capture each little darling's personality, so that those of us who live far away have the opportunity to 'meet' them.
