"There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: twins."
- Josh Billings, American humorist & writer (1818-1885)
Twins-- When I say I wasn't prepared for them, it's an understatement. I wasn't prepared for the whirlwind that it would be, for how much they would change our family. I wasn't prepared to see such intense beauty in the twin relationship, and the fierceness with which they protect each other. I wasn't prepared for two pairs of eyes that seem to know the way straight to my heart. Most of all, I wasn't prepared for the joy they'd bring. Completely unprepared.

Twins! They are beautiful! Love the portraits. Awesome job using natural light, too. It's very soft and lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a twin... twins are SO common in my family, so maybe I'll have twins in oh, five or so years... :)
Well, Erica, it's great! I would be thrilled if it happened to you. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks again for all your help. Some of these photos are older, before my new lens and your consults, but like you said, I need to keep it real, right? :)
I got the new Canon EOS 40D about a half an hour ago via UPS. Umm, I'm really excited!
