A local photographer is taking on a unique project to highlight the relationship shared between twins.

Tamara Poppit of Hudson Wren Portraits has put out a call for any sets of twins willing to be photographed for her photo essay, B次元官网网址淲ombmates.B次元官网网址� Participants are asked to provide a $100 donation, which will go to Jeneece Place at the ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, with a goal of raising $2,500. Donors will receive a $100 credit towards any of the photos they might want to purchase.

For Poppit, the project and the foundation are close to her heart.

B次元官网网址淚 have twins of my own, I lived through it,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淥ur babies were born at 35 weeks and had to stay at the (VGH) neonatal unit for two weeks. We were lucky that we didnB次元官网网址檛 have to utilize the units at Jeneece Place, but many people do.B次元官网网址�

Poppit said twins are considered a high-risk pregnancy and that they often come early, leading many families to need the accommodations available at Jeneece Place.
