That&#8217;s a good thing but it&#8217;s also a heads up warning to anyone wanting to take advantage of the fabulous May and June light and more mild temps.&nbsp; There are only two weekend session times available for May remaining and a handful of June dates.&nbsp; I tell you&#8230;it&#8217;s a fabulous problem to have!&nbsp; Call 815.603.8450 to book a session.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp; Also, this is a biggie for some of my clients for Spring\/Summer\/Fall 2009, I am limiting the number of ON LOCATION sessions available to one weekend day and a handful of weekday times monthly.&nbsp; Keep this in mind when scheduling a booking.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I have been a slacker during my last few weeks off from shooting, it&#8217;s been nice to just dedicate myself to my long (rapidly disappearing) list of to dos.&nbsp; My kids are enjoying spring break this week, I hope to get them out and do some shooting with them, it&#8217;s been several months since I really dedicated any time to shooting with them.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>On that note my 9 year old is experimenting with photography like nobody&#8217;s business &#8211; she got a Kodak point &amp; shoot for her birthday.&nbsp; She loves LOVES the video mode on it.&nbsp; It really is amazing to see how creative she is (remarkable really) and how into photography she is at such an early age.&nbsp; I can&#8217;t see where her creativity takes her.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, right before I took time off, I dragged my youngest out to the studio for a &quot;mini session&quot;.&nbsp; It didn&#8217;t go remarkably well as <u>she was SO not into it <\/u>but&#8230;.BUT this shot has me giggling.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still have a ton to edit but this one made me laugh off the bat.&nbsp; One of my good friends says she looks like my mom here, not sure about THAT but nonetheless&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marmaladephotography.com\/blog-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/_D2O0048.jpg\" alt=\"Chicago Child Photographer's Kid\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I know that *I* probably look like that sometimes, &quot;Ok now, hurry this up!&quot;&nbsp;
