Great expression in this portrait !!

delightful capture a very handsome young lad

Not sure about settings? Wonderng about high ISO here. Great portrait but seems overexposed?

Brilliant expression, you can just see the intelligence in his eyes.

He looks quite knowledgeable for six...great shot!

Does look a tad over exposed as pointed out, but it also has a high key element that gives a dreamy effect to the overall picture, I like it!

Handsome boy.

Another lovely portrait. Great shots.

I love the way you have made these two Yin and Yan with lighting them differently. Xander looks more confident than his brother, but my, how good looking they are! A treat to see them.

Another handsome little man.

Very different than the other image. Well done but how do we know this is really Xander?

more light in this, different pictures, different boys even when they look the same :-) both great portraits, very naturally done Tara!

Superb capture Tara. God bless.

A wonderful high-key portrait, Tara! The both look full of life and fun!

What a great shot---- the great joy of being a grandparent!!

Oh yes I also like the yin and yang effect of the two different lighting set ups as well as the different directions of the POV.

Superb portrait Hon. I also enjoyed reading all the comments above. It is fun to see the reactions of others to the twins...yes, they are similar but oh, so different and your photos illustrate this to a "T".

Amazing other little guy !

I'll be in your gallery more than one session, but I wanted to do some this morning since it's been a while since I've actually commented 'on site'. Your candid/portraits are so often mixtures of true candid moments with a sense of introspective portraiture. (Ie, you get both in the same shots.) Xander, here, looks in the middle of saying something, but he also looks lost in some moment or thought, as does Liam in the previous (equally beautiful) shot. This shot is bathed in light, compared to the darker shadows of Liam's shot; and Xander glows in it. I like that you give only his head, with enough of his shirt to add to the real light here. You've captured/brought out the reds in his color, and they're delicate and beautiful. And the side composition---where he's framed, on the left, by that bright background light---makes fine balance with the darker tones of the right side. Darker relatively speaking, since this is all in light tones...A bright, very loving shot, with undertones of introspection. (Like the 'notes' in Andrea's perfumes, or in fine cognacs.) And though candid, it feels like a thoughtful portrait at the same time. Highly caring work, Tara! (And "Xander" is a most unusual name---historically from "Alexander"...but parents, of course, may name a child for all kinds of reasons having nothing to do with historical root names or anything like that. It's a beautiful name.)
