Arrow Brothers in their Natural State

My nephews are in town, and we spent some time taking pictures before bed the other night. I was so pleased - as was their mom - with how these turned out.

So excited, had to share!

Thanks for looking. Would love to hear what you think!

Thank you Hayward and Bernz. I was so surprised they agreed to let me photograph them; it was very impromptu. They were pretty good about letting me try different poses, despite the hour.

Very nice, both of them. Little brother looks like a mirror image of big brother. Love the lighting really adds atmosphere.

They did a nice job of not being goofy, smiley, frowning etc. Looks like two serious contemplative types......pretty sure they wer not all that contemplative a few minutes earlier!

Thank you for your comments, Shmelly and PJ.

Y'know, it's funny because in some of the images they do look so much alike, then in others, not so much.

And, PJ, you speak the truth! Although they look serious and thoughtful, I did an awful lot of waiting to get them to stop giggling! Mostly that was when I was trying to take pictures of them together...none of which came out worth a darn!

Oh well, can't have everything! hehe.

Thank you, Mike! Amazing what a desk lamp and a white pillow case can do!
