This time of year it’s all about the kids. Big Kids, little kids, kids without a care in the world, those who are struggling to survive.

I’ve been so fortunate this year to photograph all the above.

Newborns hardly able to focus but knowing their Mom’s voice, all the way to high school seniors. The high school kids in the area are fabulous. Full of life, ambition, talented in so many ways. It’s scary to be leaving the nest right now, but the possibilites are endless. The world is truly your oyster!

And then my favorite kids. Again, from Hole in the Wall Camp in Ashford. Struggling with life threatening illness and yet these kids had the biggest and easiest smiles, pleasant and eager to please. I keep these special kids in my prayers every night.

All the kids are mixed in this page.  Kids with studio sessions, windblown sessions, beach sessions, fashion sessions, at local landmarks. They are all just kids.

How about some free photography sessions throughout the New Year that will provide something a little more tangible – and quieter! than those 12 drummers drumming?

And you’ll receive one  free 5×7 from your session!

Beginning December 13th we’ll offer a special session every day until December 24th.  Each session will have it’s own expiration date sometime in 2012. Each has it’s own theme, is about an hour long, held at the Putnam studio. And all you’ll need to do is comment on the blog or facebook page for the daily session and tell me you want to win. If you LIKE my Facebook page you’ll be entered twice!

What sessions are going to be offered?? Birthday, Mothers or Father’s Day, Maternity, Engagement, “For His Eyes Only” and lots more!
