evening free and took the kids and dogs out and not only accomplished some pretty great images but I think that I may have my holiday card photos.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, a photographer who actually has her Holiday photos done <em>BEFORE<\/em> December 10th.\u00a0 By George!\u00a0 It&#8217;s a miracle!!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 And while the dog is on the mend and is almost to her old antics at the time I didn&#8217;t know the outcome and was worried sick for our sick baby.\u00a0 Thankfully and hopefully most of the October drama is behind us and we are onto bigger and better things.<\/p>\n<p><img

images from our brief little session.\u00a0 Thanks to my kids, truly truly &#8220;photographer&#8217;s kids&#8221; for putting up with me.\u00a0 For all these years AND for doing this mini mini session with me and their BFFs.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I was unable to accomplish getting photos of the girls with BOTH dogs (I was already begging for a miracle of health for one of the dogs and didn&#8217;t want to push it with more miraculous requests!) but I did get images from <em>this<\/em> moment, from <em>this<\/em> time and knowing now that this too had passed I am grateful that I was able to capture these moments in time.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day that&#8217;s all I can hope to accomplish in my usual job capturing Suburban Chicago family photos: photographing the precious moments, perfect <em>or<\/em> imperfect as they may be.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5285\"
