So, this “tween” stage in life…it’s weird, right? I mean it’s awesome. Well, it’s awesome one minute and then then in the next minute your tween is in the midst of some hormonal rage that leaves you wondering what demon has just possessed your kid. We are blessed (and I don’t say that sarcastically) to have two tweens living in our house. Honestly, 90 % of the time that is an absolutely wonderful thing. The other 10%? Well, we call those growing pains in the Smith house, and we won’t dwell on that. Let’s focus on the good stuff. =) They’re self sufficient. I haven’t poured a bowl of cereal or fixed a sandwich in years. They are soooo funny. No lie, there’s not a person in this world that can make me laugh harder than Makgill Smith. They have crazy amounts of creativity, and their goals and dreams are incredible. Sit back and listen to the life goals of a tween the next time you’re around one. They dream BIG and don’t even entertain thoughts of obstacles getting in their way and stopping them. It’s pretty inspiring! The conversations that occur around here can be deep and meaningful about things that truly matter and leave me thinking “Wow, this kid is REALLY growing up!”. Or they can be about farts. Basically, what I’m saying is that this stage in life is a wonderful one! If you have a tween in your life then you know that. As part of our year of celebration of our studio’s 15th anniversary and in honor of Mak’s 12th birthday coming up this week, we are giving away a Tween session!! But not just a session, we’re giving away a custom video slideshow and proof book of your session as well! And if you want to order prints from this session they will be at Limited Edition pricing (up to 60% off of normal prices). Here’s how to enter. Just leave a comment here on this blog post telling us what you would like to see in YOUR tween’s session. What’s their thing? Dance? Art? Dirt bikes? Football? Fashion? There are so many fun interests out there and that’s what we want to focus on with these sessions. These sessions are perfect for 9-13 year olds, guys and girls. Comment here to enter, and remember to tell your friends about this contest!<\/p>\n

Here are just a few images from Mak’s twelve year session to give you an idea of the type of session this will be. And we just won’t talk about how grown he looks here. Sheesh!! Also, I’m glad he’s mine. =)<\/p>\n

Winner will be picked by a random generator and announced on Friday, Mak’s Birthday!!<\/p>\n
