She revealed that the image was captured when their daughters were just weeks old, and said: ‘Already we have all grown and learned so much together in that time.’
‘It was so precious to stop and breathe in these moments and to now have such special photographs before life with twins really took off,’ she added.

Dana, who has a older son named Jasper from a previous relationship, concluded: ‘Our children are so very lucky to have you as their daddy.’
The couple surprised fans last month when they revealed Dana had welcomed their twin girls.
Neither Lachlan nor Dana had offered any hint that they were expecting, and so people were understandably shocked by the announcement.
Engaged! The couple announced their engagement in April in a sweet Instagram post, with Lachlan writing: ‘Dana asked me to marry her at home under a fairy light sky and a very excited little boy in a beautiful bow tie.’ Pictured is Dana with Jasper, and Lachlan
