— -- How’s this for double the fun?
These precious 8-month-old preemie twins, Leia and Lauren Lok, are ruling Instagram with their whimsical photos, one colorful creation at a time.
Their parents, Peter Lok and Amber Yong, said they were inspired to start documenting their growing babies in the adorable outfits from a young age because “honestly, this is the only period of time they allow you to dress them up, they grow up so fast!”
The baby girls were born prematurely at only 32 weeks and spent their first month in the hospital.
“They are called the ‘Momo' twins because they are Monoamniotic-Monochorionic twins, which are identical twins that develop in a single, shared placenta and amniotic sac in the mother’s womb,” the family from Singapore wrote to ABC News. “They share the placenta but have two separate umbilical cords.”
The proud parents started the twins’ creative Instagram account 7 months ago and they’ve already amassed 167,000 followers.
“As avid travel photographers, both my wife any myself enjoy documenting our journey through images,” Peter wrote. “I am a passionate photographer by leisure and my wife loves styling and playing with concepts. We like to have fun with the girls.”
As for how they come up with such imaginative ideas for each photo, “We would brainstorm together while browsing through their outfits, though most times ideas come rather impromptu during a shoot,” he added. “Photo sessions usually happens after their nap time and takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Leia and Lauren are very jovial babies and they are not camera-shy therefore it’s not tough for us to capture a moment.”
