Hello again, Abigail, Mckayla, Grace and Emily Webb. The identical quadruplet girls from Canada, who will turn 4 months old in September, are back with charming new baby photos and it’s impossible to look away. Resistance is futile.
Having identical quadruplets is a really big deal, because the chances of having them is 1 in up to 15 million. Evidently, Grande Prairie, Alberta-based photographer Cassandra Jones of Noelle Mirabella Photography was thrilled to offer pictures of Tim and Bethani Webb’s four daughters, Abigail, McKayla, Grace, and Emily. The baby girls were born May 6 via C-section at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton.
“Oh my goodness, it was so much harder this time,” Jones said.
“Three months makes a big difference. The girls were not nearly as sleepy and there was a lot more fussing, which is to be expected at a 3-month shoot.”
All of the girls are smiley now and some thought their photographer was funny, Jones observed. The small sisters’ toenails are painted a different color and they have various colored sets of earrings pierced in their ears to help distinguish them from one another.
The only baby Jones could tell apart from the others without looking at their earrings and toes was the smallest girl, Abigail.
And each has her own distinct personality. “Abby is the smallest, and she’s gonna be the daddy’s girl; Emily is the calmest and most talkative; and Grace is the drama queen,” says Bethani. “Mckayla, she’s probably the happiest.”
The identical quadruplets were created naturally, without the use of any fertility medications or other forms of assisted reproduction. Their parents, Bethani and Tim Webb of Hythe, Alberta, were shocked when a routine ultrasound revealed four babies in December.
The actual shoot went super smoothly, Jones said. “The girls were all amazing,” she recalled. “There were absolutely no tears. In fact, they did not even raise an eyelid. They slept like little angels for the entire shoot.”
The Webbs, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary this summer, are first-time parents and have no history of multiples in their families.
