I am beyond excited to share the beautiful story of twins Colt Wayne and Hudson Lee Holmquist! Photographing this lovely family was a true joy, and I am so grateful they chose me to capture these precious moments. From the moment I met them, I could feel the warmth and love in their home, and it was an honor to be part of their journey.

A Name with Meaning


Choosing a name for a baby is such a special task, and Colt and Hudson’s names carry a beautiful significance. Their middle names honor their grandfathers, making them even more special. It’s heartwarming to see how family traditions can shape the lives of the next generation. I can only imagine how proud those grandpas must be!

The Birth Story: A Surprise Delivery


Now, let’s dive into the amazing birth story of these twins. Colt and Hudson’s arrival was quite the adventure! Their mom shared, “I never really knew that I was having contractions. I literally didn’t feel them!” Can you believe that? It wasn’t until she was 8.5 centimeters along that she started to feel anything at all! And when she did, it was surprisingly mild, comparing it to period cramps. What a unique experience!

Sharing the Big News


When it came to sharing the news of their pregnancy, this family had a creative approach. At first, they thought they were expecting just one baby. So, they surprised their loved ones with a box filled with cute baby items and positive pregnancy tests. But when they learned they were having twins, the excitement grew! They revealed the news to their sister with the twins' first ultrasound photo together. Imagine the joy and surprise on her face!

Cravings and Cute Moments


During her pregnancy, Colt and Hudson’s mom had some delicious cravings. She loved spicy foods, especially fried rice with Sriracha, and couldn’t resist McDonald's fries! It’s funny how food can bring such joy during this special time.

The Joys of Parenthood


Now that Colt and Hudson are here, the family is enjoying every moment. One of the best parts of being a parent, as their mom shared, is “getting to spend time with the babies.” She mentioned how adorable it is to see them trying to laugh already! Those little giggles are sure to melt hearts.


However, parenthood has its surprises too! One thing that caught her off guard was just how many bottles the twins go through in a day. “I ended up buying a few more just to be safe,” she said, laughing. It’s these little moments that make parenting so relatable and fun!
