Delightful capture very handsome young lad

Wonderful and the lighting is great.

The lighting is so simple, but so effective. Nice job.

The lighting really is perfect, it picks up that curious expression wonderfully.

Super portrait! What a sweet wondering look he has.

A wonderful look of wide-eyed wonder. Grandkids are a joy...

Such a beautiful portrait of a very handsome boy. You are blessed to have two of them. This reminds me of an English story book that a good friend of my mothers used to let me read. The illustrations looked very much like this.

They are very very alike Tara. great shot.

Very nice lighting on this one .

I really like the lighting you caught here, and that wonderful boyish expression :) Super shot.

What a delight! I love that little head anxious to be filled with every exciting and wondrous titbit of knowledge.

Handsome little man Tara.

A wonderful expression on the handsome lad. I agree with Krittermom. This has a very European feel to it. Terrific soft lighting.

I like the light in this portrait - and i like the name of both and they are so handsome!

Superb capture Tara. God bless.

Bright eyes full of energy. A great shot of this handsome fellow, Tara!

I love that you posted these separately; it gives the boys their own identity. And they're both so different, fotos AND boys!1

Thanks for sharing your beautiful grandchild...I should say handsome, but honestly this is a beautiful and sensitive photo. So glad you get to visit them. :)

Wonderful. Liam the thoughtful:-) So much life ahead of Liam and Xander...this is but the beginning.

Quite "charming" little guy.

An equally beautiful shot, and we can see they are twins, and we can see they are separate souls. This shot (as I said in my last comment) is bathed in more shadow than Xander's, and a background of deep reddish bureau with curtains or a door back there. Your background is reminiscent of the backgrounds of 17th C. paintings, very chamber-like, and intimate. Liam emerges out of it, pondering, questioning, reaching out somehow. And, like Xander, you have him to one side---only here, he's on the opposite side. I wonder if you did that intentionally---giving the two twins a side of their own, and opposites at that. It's a lovely pairing, regardless. And he, too, has reddish undertones that give him warmth and beauty. Another candid that feels like a considered portrait: It's beautiful, Tara. These two shots are beautiful portraits of twins, in likeness and difference, and in mood. I loved them both when they went up; and I've yet to photograph people this way. To me, these are almost like paintings. And when commenting one after the next, I can see so many ties between the two shots and boys. Beautiful work, both of these. (Ok, more boring language stuff, if you don't know it: "Liam" is from "William". And William means "Willful protector"---a good meaning to have, if one's into meanings. "Will" is the "Willful" part; and "iam" is from "helm"---originally "Wil-helm". And helm means just that: A place of protection. We get "helmet" from it. Not too shabby for a name...)
