Twins Are a Different Kind of Session
A twin baby photoshoot is not simply "two individual sessions happening at once." Two babies rarely sleep, feed, or settle on the same schedule, which means the session has to be built around flexibility from the start. At Infantacy Studio in Kanpur, we approach twin sessions with a specific plan for pacing, timing, and setups that work for two babies rather than one.
Newborn Twin Sessions
One at a Time, Then Together
The most reliable approach for newborn twins is to photograph each baby individually first — while the other is being soothed by a parent nearby — and only bring them together for combined shots once both are settled. Trying to pose two unsettled newborns together from the start rarely works and adds unnecessary stress for everyone.
Matching, Not Identical, Wraps
Complementary wrap colours (rather than perfectly identical ones) help each twin stand out as an individual in combined shots, while still reading as a cohesive set.
Extra Time Is Essential
A twin newborn session typically runs 25–50% longer than a single newborn session. This isn't an upsell — it reflects the real logistics of feeding and settling two babies on two different clocks.

Expect More "Real" Moments Than Posed Ones
Once twins are mobile, getting two babies to look at the camera at the same moment is genuinely difficult — and trying to force it usually costs more good moments than it gains. We shoot in bursts and lean into the candid interactions between twins, which are often more compelling than a perfectly posed matching shot anyway.
Individual Portraits Matter Too
Parents of twins often specifically request solo portraits of each baby, separate from the "twin set" shots — a chance to capture each child's individual personality rather than only the pair dynamic.
Coordinated, Not Identical, Outfits for 1-Year Sessions
For a twin cake smash, two identical smash cakes with slightly different colour accents work better than one shared cake — it avoids one twin "taking over" the moment and gives each baby their own centrepiece.
Tips for Parents Booking a Twin Session
- Feed both babies as close together as possible before arriving, even if their schedules have drifted apart
- Bring a second caregiver if possible — an extra pair of hands makes settling and soothing significantly easier
- Build in more buffer time than you think you need; twin sessions rarely run exactly on schedule
- Be open to the session order changing on the day — flexibility gets better results than a fixed shot list
