Melissa: Oh Allison, I can't believe how big they are! And so beautiful. They even look chubby now! Precious. :)

Anya Coleman: Precious!I love them all!

Jill Bernstein: They are gorgeous! I love that you got similar shots - tongues, smile, yawn. I wish I could tell you how to slow them down. Just know, more fun is right around the bend! Being both girls, I'm sure their bond will be even tighter than G&C's. It's amazing to watch.

Christina: Amazing closeups!!!!! They are gorgeous!!!

jennyb: OMGosh! The girls are gorgeous. I don't know how you tell them apart, that is so cool. Congrats again.

I had so much fun with a dear friend who is expecting baby number two. Isn’t she beautiful?! We went to the best locations - by far my favorite.  It was the hottest day of summer and the humidity was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Thanks April for braving the heat and letting me photograph your sweet belly. Good luck…I can’t wait to hear the news!

Meet Mira, 12 days young. Mira means “prosperity” in Hindi - such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. She was so calm and an absolute pleasure to photograph. Her gorgeous mother was one of the many who monitored me in the hospital.

Time is moving too quickly. My little girl is now two years old. Kendall, you bring happiness and joy to my life. You make me smile and laugh every day. All I think about is you and how you say you love me too. I thank my lucky stars you are my baby girl.

When I saw this field I knew it was the perfect spot for Kendall. I took advantage of our gorgeous weather, beautiful sunset, and a field full of Black Eyed Susans.

On May 6th two gorgeous baby girls entered our lives.  Born at 34 weeks Emmy and Avery could not be more perfect. Hearing them cry for the first time was one of the best sounds I have ever heard.  Knowing they were here and healthy was such a celebration.  After a week stay in the NICU they were release and sent home.   Seeing their beautiful faces reminds me everyday of how blessed I am.

My pregnancy was an out of the ordinary experience, but an experience I would not change.  It was successful thanks to the Crouse hospital nurses, OB GYN residence, and the providers at the Perinatal Center. Words can not express my gratitude. Thank you!

From small beginnings come great things.

The heart shot below I had a beautiful friend and amazing photographer, Jessica Washburn from Clifton Park, NY come and helped me photographing the girls.  Her work is stunning and full of emotion.  It was a pleasure to work with such a fabulous photographer.  Jessica, thank you for traveling to Syracuse and helping me document my girls while they were so tiny.

To make sure we did not get the girls confused we painted Emmy’s finger nail.

Before I was admitted to the hospital I knew I needed something to keep me occupied.  What’s better than editing pictures to pass time?  Here are a few…

Today I am 28 weeks which is a great milestone for monoamniotic twins.   The closer I get to the 32 week mark, the statistics indicate a greater outcome for physical as well as mental health.   I want to thank everyone for the emails, calls, thoughts, and prayers.  You have given me the strength to focus on the bigger picture and have helped me not to dwell on what I am missing.  Thank you.

Here is a picture in celebration of reaching 28 weeks.
