My signature, on so many levels....

Charlie (intense) and James (whimsical) almost two years after their last portrait together. It is amazing to watch these two grow....

I did a portrait of my son in a similar style -- not as good as this, of course.

Fascinating to see the difference of just a couple years. Look at the jaw development on your older boy.

A wonderful image... love the feel provided by the lighting and it really works with the "intensity"... not so much the "whimsy".

While this is purely a guess, I am running out of time and it'll have to do...

I'm assuming this is bassbone. What handsome young men! Did they think it was cool to pose for something like this? Mine will hardly work with me any more unless they get to make a corny face lol. Great family photo :)

Hi bassbone! Interesting lighting! I may have liked to overlap them & have some tilts for creating more interesting composition. But it's you style & I should not mess up with mine :)
