7 Top Reasons Why You Need A Professional Photographer Being blessed with twins, triplets or multiples is definitely a blessing, but it always comes with mixed feelings. No matter how prepared you think you are, you will be surprised how soon it becomes clear that nothing can actually even start preparing you for the joy you are going to experience or the demand on your patience, stamina and life. It is challenging enough to cope with one baby; with twins or triplets or more everything gets compounded multiple times. In A World Of Twins Photographs Are Memories Forever My mum used to say, “Children are gifts that we get to keep for about 18 years or so; and the time just flies away. Make the best of what you have, for as long as you have with them.” This is so true. You actually have them until they become 13 or so; and then you suddenly realize that you are slowly being pushed into the background, and their friends take the forefront. You need to make the most of the childhood of your babies because it is the most beautiful memories you can ever have. How? There are many ways, but one of the most fun is with photographs. One of the most beautiful thing...
