my boys were playing in one of my photo shipping boxes today for fun. christian kept asking me to close the lid so they could pop out. thought it was cute and of course i had to grab my camera (which was nearby) to get some shots. ok, so they have bad hair (morning hair) and maybe even christmas pjs on but at least i managed to pull the boxes into the better lighting. they thought that was fun being pulled. so, let this be inspiration to take pics of your kids even when they aren’t looking their finest and get in the good window light! ok, summary

1. keep your camera nearby

2. don’t worry about your kids looking like they just woke up

3. move them to the windows and use natural light (turn off that ugly flash)

4. remember how much fun it was!
