I totally understand. Your kids schedule allows for limited times for these things!

Midday shoots can be great, but in the summer, they can be very bright and hot. This does change the look of your photos. They will be brighter, no matter what with harsh shadows in the shade, which is NOT bad! If you are fine with having the midday sun, I am up for everything. But just know going into it, there will not be the chance of a golden hour look with midday shoots.
