Mom’s Last Touching Photoshoot With Both Of Her Newborn Twins

Brentlinger family from Toledo, Ohio, was trying to have babies for years and on December 17th 2016, a dream became reality when twins William and Reagan were born. But their joy was not destined to last, because William was born with various abnormalities and only the right side of his heart was functioning.

At the 23rd week of pregnancy, doctors told parents, Lyndsay and Matthew, that their son will be still-born. William has survived birth, but sadly he passed away 11 days later: “ They were the happiest 11 days of my life, ” said Matthew.

During those 11 days, Brentlingers got in touch with a professional photographer and a friend, Lindsey Brown, who did a heartwarming photoshoot with William and his twin sister Reagan. “ Pictures are just memories, ” said Brown. “ I know how much people cherish them, so I was really glad I was able to do that for them. ”

“ I cried the first time I looked at them. I still cry sometimes, ” said Lyndsay. “ They are beautiful and he is beautiful. In some of them, you can see he is wide awake with his big beautiful eyes. It’s something we will definitely cherish. ”

Photographer Captures Baby Next To Mom’s C-Section Scar To Show That It’s Perfectly Natural

Cesarean section is a procedure where an incision is carried out on the mother to extract the baby. It has its downsides, and some mothers might be unwilling to talk about it. Helen Carmina, a family photographer, had this unlikely mother ask to take a picture of her c-section scar together with the baby.

“I photographed this mama’s pregnancy a while back and she was telling me how terrified she was of having a c-section,” Carmina, who lives in Guernsey, UK, wrote on her Facebook. “Well last week she went into labor but had to have an emergency c-section after complications. She asked me to come over this morning and shoot this particular image as her worst nightmare proved to be what saved her and her child’s lives.”

Photographer Captures Identical Twins Next To Each Other To Show How Different They Actually Are

Peter Zelewski is a London-based photographer who mainly focuses on portrait and documentary photography. Peter has created a photo series named Alike But Not Alike that captures two identical twins next to each other, showing their slight (or major) differences. This way these series portray signs of individuality that every brother and sister owns, and even though they might seem identical at first sight, they are actually unique individuals. Peter Zalewski has been exploring for a couple of years now the wonders of being a twin and mainly what makes them different instead of what makes them look the same.

“When I first started the project, it was without a doubt the visual attraction which I found most interesting when taking portraits of twins,” Peter told Huck . “But, as the series progressed, it was the subtle differences that became equally interesting.” Scroll down to check out Alike But Not Alike for yourself!
