Expecting twins is an incredible journey, one that’s filled with twice the excitement, twice the anticipation, and often a little more planning. Because twin pregnancies can progress more quickly than singleton pregnancies, I typically recommend scheduling your maternity session between 24–26 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience.
One of my favorite parts of photographing maternity sessions is that the planning begins long before we ever pick up the camera.
For this beautiful twin maternity session, we started by inviting Mom into the studio to explore my client wardrobe. She fell in love with a stunning gown from Reclamation, a brand known for its flowing, romantic dresses that photograph beautifully and create timeless, fine art-inspired portraits. Their thoughtfully designed gowns are a favorite among maternity photographers because of their movement, versatility, and elegant silhouettes.
Once we chose her dress, we coordinated her husband’s outfit to complement, not compete with, the look. Having clothing options available during the planning appointment allowed us to see everything together and create a cohesive color palette that would work perfectly with our location.
Location also played a big role in every decision we made. The colors, textures, and wardrobe were selected specifically to complement the natural scenery, helping every element work together to create a soft, timeless gallery.
We also talked through hair and makeup ahead of time. Whether you choose soft, romantic waves or a polished updo, natural makeup or something a little more glamorous, these finishing touches help complete the overall vision. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s creating a look that feels like you while fitting seamlessly with the setting and style of your session.
When clients ask why my galleries feel so cohesive, the answer is simple: it’s the planning.
The dress, the location, coordinated outfits, hair and makeup, and even the timing of your session all come together to create images that feel effortless. By taking the time to thoughtfully plan every detail before session day, you’re free to relax, enjoy the experience, and focus on what matters most—celebrating this incredible season before your two little miracles arrive.
Twin pregnancies are such a unique chapter, and documenting them deserves just as much care and intention as the journey itself. With a little planning, your maternity session becomes more than beautiful photographs—it becomes a timeless celebration of the life your family is about to welcome.
