Wow, photographing triplets is not easy! I work hard even with one baby, but three! Luckily we got the sweetest, loveliest little babies I could have asked for.  They were born a little early, so at 5 1/2 months they are more like 3 month olds. The girls are twins, and the boy, clearly, even without knowing he is a boy, is not identical. He is such a big little baby compared to his sisters. I can’t wait to see him when he is older-he will be the protector of the bunch. They were all calm, happy, content babies. I really enjoyed photographing them and always love photographing multiples.

And because I had other photographers emailing me and asking me about how I did these shots, I thought I would post some pull-back shots. When I photograph triplets, I always bring along another photographer to help. You just can not do it on your own. My good friend Kim helped, and she is an awesome photographer in her own right.

In this first shot, we were out on the porch where we had nice, even light. We put two bean bags side by side, and Kim supported the baby on the end just in case. Then, I had mom, dad, and Kim all pull on corners of the blanket to make it nice and flat. I still have no idea how we got all three babies to sleep at the same time, naked, and we were able to pose them so that we hid their little baby parts. It would be hard to do this with triplet newborn babies, who are nice and sleepy still, but with three 5 month olds! Such luck.
