 Franklin Day-After Session – Calin and Collin

Aug, 25 2008 by Mel 

One thing about our job that makes it constantly interesting is meeting really interesting people.  Some are charismatic, others are funny; there are those that are extremly kind-hearted, the quirky (which I love!), and the generally intriguing people who take a little more time to see completely.  Calin and Collin are a little bit of all of these things and they’ve been such a joy to spend time with!  I’m really pretty sad to have wrapped up with their Us Session.  Ya’ll just have to come hang out now, ya hear? (A bit too much twang?  I sense I just reached a little too far into my roots…and Beverly Hillbillies.)   

So we’re getting ready to head out again for another fabulous adventure!  We’re meeting up with the wonderful Tara and Andrew in Sedona, Arizona for what promises to be a totally rockin’ shoot!  We have a dress, we have a suit, we have desert and canyons – we’re so excited!! :o )  I’ve never been to Arizona but I hear Sedona is gorgeous and I love the desert scape! 

In an attempt to ensure you don’t forget about us while we’re gone, I’m prepping a few blog posts to go up while we’re away.  The first will be of the lovely Calin and Collin (because I think everyone should have a fancy introduction tonight).  We did a little “temporary trespassing” into a hay field and had to play around with these great hay rolls!  In my ever-increasing preggo state, climbing is getting a bit more…”interesting” than it used to be so Sean took the adventurous role on this one…

Calin and Collin – thanks so much for getting dressed back up and coming out to be beautiful for our cameras! :o

 It's time for a new website–Right now.

Aug, 24 2008 by Sean 

Any of you who’ve been following my Twitter updates lately have seen that we’ve been working until the sun comes up the past three days in a row.   Why, you ask?  We’ve been meaning to launch a new website for over a year now–and we’ve actually been holding back several of our favorite images to use on it.

Even though we’re more than busy at the moment, and haven’t had time all year to work on it–we decided it had been to long, and to just push through, double & triple our hours, and make the time.  So…  you night owls out there tonight will be the first to see the 1:00 a.m. launch.  Have at it!

Exciting news!  I’m super proud of Mel right now for her wins at the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International 1st half 8×10 competition. I received four Accolades of Excellence–which were completely crushed–by Mel taking 1st place in the Bride or Groom Alone category.  And as if that wasn’t enough–she also took 1st place in the engagement category. Here’s a link to the results: WPPI 8×10 Competition.

 McLellan Canadaland Adventure

Aug, 12 2008 by Sean 

We meant to post something before we headed out, but we ended up having no time to put it together.  So if you’ve called over the past week and are wondering why you haven’t heard back from us… it’s because we’re in Canadaland! 

I made a map that shows where we’ve been so far, and more details about what we’ve been up to are coming soon.  We’ll be heading home at the end of this week and will get back with everybody on Tuesday!
