Twins in Brazil celebrating their hundredth birthday were treated to a shoot by a photographer after she found out about them in a local news report.

To take their pictures, Brazilian photographer Camila Lima personally contacted the families of Maria Pignaton Pontin and Paulina Pignaton Pandolfi, and even did their make-up.

Lima is a wedding photographer who thought the twosome were “so cute,” she told Buzzfeed News.

Pandolfi is mother to six kids and has 19 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Pontin has one great-great-grandchild among her five kids, 12 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

There’s also a heartwarming video of the centenarian twins, who gamely posed for photos:
