I
rarely dressed them up in same clothes since their birth, so for this birthday
countdown photoshoot I'm kinda missing the "twin" factor that a photo
of twins has--especially when wearing the same clothes!
For
their backdrop I made paper wheels aka paper flowers from different patterned
papers I had. I made a couple of paper wheels every day whenever I found the time, that's how I had 10 of these by this day for the photoshoot.
To place them I wanted 1) a
mix of light and dark colors, 2) larger and smaller paper wheels alternatively, 3) the paper wheels overlapping each
other, and 4) to make the backdrop
look wide since I did not make many of these paper wheels (note: I should have made more of the larger ones than the smaller ones).
For
the text: I had the cardboard portion (the bottom part) of their large
18x12" art pad (for all their scribbling and coloring). I placed that with the support of a box and
added the text on Photoshop during editing.
And here's a behind-the-scenes
photo of Alisha who, with a straight face, told me "NO" and went to
put her head down on the hand-rest of the sofa when I asked to stand at the
spot and give me one more smile for a photo :-)
Phew. 7 down, 6 days to go!
