I often have to choose between getting the moment or creating a perfect picture that doesn’t involve a messy background. My house never seems to be clean or free of clutter (#becausekids) so I always choose the moment as I know they are fleeting with little ones, especially because she was going up for her nap. When that rare fall/winter PNW sun comes streaming through the window, you just take the shot. So here you go… sweet little Lila, some pretty light and her sister’s forever-messy room.

Always taking her socks off and eating them…
