2026 Trend Alert! Twins?!

Wait, what?!


You read that right! There seems to be a hot new trend in 2026, at least here in South Dakota: twins!

Typically, I photograph newborn twins once every two or three years, but in march alone, I've welcomed three sets into the studio! It's double the babies, double the cuteness! I thought this was unusual, and in chatting with my fellow Sioux Falls newborn photographers, they've had a surge of multiples, too — and we couldn't be more delighted.

Have you noticed this twins-and-triplets trend?

Here are some absolute cutie pies from my own version of March Madness. Say hello to Callie & Crew (with their big brother), Silas & Gideon (identical twins!), and Ximenna & Kaylani (look at those cheeks!). Aren't they the sweetest?
