DOUBLE THE SNUGGLES - Shelvin + Mikaela's Twin's Newborn Session | Airdrie Baby Photographer

By: Meagan Paige Photography

Okay… has anyone else started dreaming about their job since becoming a mom, or is that just me? I was so sure I had already written this blog post about my friend having twins and how crazy honored I was to photograph them. I could see it so clearly in my head—but apparently, that was just a very realistic mom-brain dream. So here we go, for real this time!


Let me tell you: photographing twins is always a little unpredictable—usually, just as one baby drifts off into that deep newborn sleep, the other one’s like “Hey! Party time!” But these two? Literal angels. They were so in sync, it was like they were still snuggled up together in the womb. Watching them cuddle, naturally reaching for each other, and being so calm when they were close—it seriously melted my heart. There’s something extra special about twins… they just belong together, and you can feel it the second they’re side-by-side.

Parents peacefully cuddle twin babies, one in pink with a flower headband, the other in blue, against a dark background. Cozy and serene mood.
Two babies in bear costumes rest on a log with green moss. One sleeps; the other is awake. Red roses surround the scene, creating a whimsical feel.

And here’s the part that made it even more special: these weren’t just any babies. They’re my friends’ babies! Shelvin and Mikaela trusted me to be one of the first people to meet their little ones and capture this brand new chapter for them. As a fellow new parent, I know just how sacred and exhausting those early days are—and to be welcomed into that space with a camera in hand? Total honor. It’s such a surreal feeling knowing we’re the first in our friend group to become parents, and it makes our connection feel even stronger now. After the session, we got to sit and snuggle those sweet babies and talk about all things newborn life—sleep (or lack thereof), diapers, feeding schedules—you name it. It was so nice to bond over this new season we’re walking through together.

Of course, just like with their maternity session, I had to include some blooper photos—because that’s real life, and let’s be honest, they’re some of my favorite shots. Shelvin stuck his tongue out and made silly faces mid-pose (again!), and it totally cracked us up. Some things never change, and I love that even with two tiny babies in their arms, their personalities still shine through so clearly. Then at the end of the session when we were taking Ari's bear photos and she started sticking her tongue out, I just about died laughing, she is definitely taking after her dad!

I also finally got to check off a bucket list shot that’s been on my mind forever: a photo of twin babies snuggled up, with one holding the other’s cheek. It turned out even more heart-melting than I imagined. Moments like that are why I love this job so much.

Huge thanks to Amanda from Hocus Focus Photography for assisting during the session—having her there made everything run so smoothly and helped keep the babies safe and cozy through every setup.

Shelvin and Mikaela—thank you again for letting me be part of this journey. Your twins are absolute perfection, and I’m so grateful I got to meet and photograph them in these early days. Can’t wait for all the baby playdates to come!
