Pace and Rush are fraternal twin sisters born to the sweetest parents... and they're the SECOND set of fraternal twins to join the family! Going from three to five children in one day....no big deal, right? :) Morgendee and Neal actually live in Florida, but traveled to Atlanta to be under the care of Dr. Bootstaylor at SeeBaby for their delivery, which ended up being a family centered cesarean. I was hired to document the birth of the twins, and was in the OR with them sitting next to Neal at Morgdenee's head as the baby girls were delivered. It was truly an amazing day for their family, and the experience was so calm and uplifting. Both girls were each placed on Morgendee's chest immediately after delivery, and they weren't taken away from her. I left the family in their recovery room to head home at around 2 AM so I could get some sleep before returning later that day.
After a few hours of sleep, I arrived at DeKalb Medical Center in advance of the siblings arriving to photograph just the babies and their parents first. For Fresh 48 sessions, it's highly recommended that I arrive in advance of siblings or extended family so that I can do this first, and then photograph those first meetings between loved ones.
Morgendee and Neal had not told their older children Cross & Briggs (fraternal twin brothers), and big sister Fischer that they were having another set of twins. So the big kids thought they were coming to the hospital to meet their little sister.... SURPRISE! TWO little sisters. The joy on Fischer's face when she realized she had not one, but two baby sisters was absolutely adorable. There was so much love and laughter and excitement in the room. Morgendee and Neal definitely have their hearts full, and they love (almost) every second of it. It was such an honor to be invited to walk alongside this family and freeze all of these moments in time for them.
