Four of a kind! Baby sisters whose parents beat odds of one in 15 MILLION to give birth to identical quadruplets star in sweet photo shoot dressed as woodland creatures

Eyes tightly shut and snoozing sweetly these quadruplets appear to be oblivious to the world around them.

The photographer behind the pictures said the four identical sisters 'slept like angels' while a team of six worked for three hours to get them in place for the photo shoot without waking them up once.

Two-month-olds Abigail, Mckayla, Grace and Emily Webb, from Alberta, Canada, were conceived naturally - the chances of which approximately one in 15 million.

The chance of having quadruplets without the aid of fertility treatments is one in 729,000, while identical siblings is even rarer. 

Daily Mail Online previously told how the children's parents Bethani, 22, and Tim, 23, had been planning to slowly start a family after getting married. 

But when the couple went for their first ultrasound they were surprised to find that Bethani was pregnant with four children. 

When they were born in May, Abigail was born first, weighing three pounds. Next came Emily, who weighed four pounds one ounce, then Grace, at three pounds 15 ounces, and finally McKayla, who was three pounds 11 ounces.

The pictures, taken last month, show them arranged among flowers, inside a log, sleeping in miniature rabbit suits, bundled up like little bears and in matching all-white baby-grows surrounded by daisies. 

Photographer Cassandra Jones, of Noelle Mirabella Photography, said the babies were first quadruplets she has ever photographed and that they had to use hospital bracelets to tell the difference between the girls. 

She said: 'The girls were all amazing. There were absolutely no tears during the shoot. In fact, they did not even raise an eyelid. They slept like little angels for the entire shoot.

'They were so good that i managed to get five full set-ups with all of the girls together and individual shots of each baby in three hours flat. 

'An average newborn session with a single baby lasts two to three hours, so I was pleasantly surprised how much I was able to do with four babies.' 

She said everything - from the bunny bonnets to the bear hats and pastel colors - were planned 'months in advance' because she had a 'very clear vision' for the aesthetic of the pictures.

The hats, outfits and wraps were all custom-made for the shoot and Cassandra carefully masterminded the outfits so that all she had to do was switch the hats between poses without waking them up. 

She said: 'The hollow log and hollow stump were at a local park that I frequent often and i figured they would be just the right size to accommodate four little peanuts. 

'They were a pretty snug fit, but we managed to get them all in together and looking adorable.'

She had five assistants working on the shoot - including one person per baby plus another to help arranging flowers and props and lifting.

She added: 'I really wanted Bethani [their mother] to be able to sit and relax and not have to worry about anything. We had the perfect amount of hands. We were all flat out with things to do to pull everything together.' 

Speaking to TODAY ahead of the birth, Bethani described the moment she found out about the four girls.

'She turned the screen and she started counting babies and she counted baby one, baby two, baby three - I was thinking "OK you can stop at baby three. Baby three is enough" - and she counted out the fourth baby,' she said.  

'I'm definitely glad I was laying down because I could not believe that there were four there. I thought there had to be some kind of mistake… my husband almost fainted. 

'He had to sit down for a moment.'

The couple did not use fertility drugs or in vitro fertilization to conceive their children. 

'It was completely and totally natural. It was very spontaneous,' Bethani said. 

Bethani had no complications in her 33.5-week pregnancy.

She said the babies were very active and sometimes she felt two or three kick at a time.

Bethani added that while she was excited for the babies, the notion of how much they would need to care for them was overwhelming. 

'I'm thinking we have no van, we have no car seats, we have no crib. I thought we were good just having one. 

'Going from one to four is like four times everything. Four strollers, four car seats, four cribs. Diapers. Diapers everywhere,' Bethani said. 

The Webbs will use approximately 48 diapers a day now that their daughters have arrived.

A friend of the couple has started a GoFundMe page to help the Webbs finance their four new additions.
