Brazilian twin sisters participated in a photo shoot Monday as a way to celebrate their 100th birthday later this month.
Twins Maria Pignaton Pontin and Paulina Pignaton Pandolfi of Ibiraçu, Brazil, were featured on a local news report that caught the attention of a photographer, according to ABC News.
Camila Lima, 28, contacted the sisters to see if they would be interested in being photographed.
“I am in love with the elderly and for about a year I have been developing photos with the elderly,” Lima said to Fox News. “I photograph many young couples, so my love for photographing older couples is a way to inspire younger couples.”
