Triplets

It isn’t very often when you receive a message asking if you would be interested in helping another photographer with a session and even rarer to hear it will be for triplets! Miranda O’Leary messaged and asked if I was interested and was I EVER! We spent time coordinating and planning the session, knowing they would be older and have a few health challenges. We knew that three little babies meant there were no guarantees and our goal was ONE picture for Mom and Dad. Between Miranda, myself, Miranda’s sister, Mom and Dad and great aunt and grandma…yes it took a crew…but we worked HARD and between the two of us were able to give them a full session. This was by far the most challenging session to date.

Miranda and I had to pull out every trick in our books. We worked as a team and both shot these amazing little babies.  The craziest part? Two photographer shooting the SAME set ups (because we realized very quickly that changing them around was NOT going to be possible, they were very alert, very touchy and very easily disturbed), with the SAME props…NOT the same pictures. They were completely different looking due to camera’s, lighting, lenses, editing…it was a great learning experience for the both of us and we enjoyed working together so much!

Working with triplets was on my bucket list for photography and although it was the most challenging session to date it was also one of the most gratifying of my career.
