 Destination Photographers – McLellans in action on Tybee Beach, GA

Nov, 15 2007 by Sean 

We had a great family lifestyle session on Tybee Beach this morning.  The sky was amazing, and we had about a zillion birds following us everywhere that made for some really great images.  Photos from the session to come… but in the meantime, check out this great action shot of Mel that I grabbed:

Shortly afterwards, one of me caught off guard.

 Destination: Savannah, GA

Nov, 15 2007 by Sean 

Mel and I were talking the other day, and we realized that we don’t post nearly as much personal stuff on here as we would like. Also, there are a lot of things in between the shoots (even work related) we’re doing all the time that we take photos of, but never seem to get around to getting any of it on the blog–it’s a lot of fun to write about what we shoot all the time, but if this can become more of a journal for us at the same time, I think that would be really great to look back and be able to see more of what we were doing other than just what photo shoots we did :) So here’s the beginning of more to come!

We tried to leave for Savannah early today so that we would be driving mostly during the day time, but tons of things always come up that need to be taken care of last minute, and we ended up leaving right as the sun was going down, and drove the entire way here in complete darkness. 8 hours later at 1:00 in the morning, here we are!

We’ve never been to Savannah before, and we always hear how beautiful it is. Well now that we’re here, I can say firsthand that it’s all true. Here’s the fabulous view from the window of the historic hotel we’re staying in:

All kidding aside, from what we can see on the *other* side of the hotel, it does look like it is really great here. We’ll see for sure when the sun comes up… very shortly.

Denise Skelton: Savannah is AMAZING!!! We went there in October and I decided I could spend a week there doing nothing but taking pictures! Hope you enjoy your trip and I can’t wait to see your pictures. (11.15.07, 8:21 pm)

sean: It really is great here. Wish we had more time to check it out. Would loved to have gone around more today, but after our shoot, we walked around the historic district for a bit and were just too tired from all of our recent lack of rest to do anything else! (11.15.07, 6:22 pm)

Jessica Moore: I’m jealous…. Savannah is beautiful!! (11.15.07, 2:04 pm)

Jeremy: Savannah is awesome, u gotta check out forsyth park and the town squares…awesome locations (11.15.07, 11:56 am)

esm: Happy to know that you had a safe trip. Hope you are able to get rested up inbetween shoots and workshops. See you at the beach. Looking forward to time together. (11.15.07, 10:06 am)

sean: thanks, brianne! Actually, I’m super excited about getting some sleep tonight. We haven’t really done that for seemingly weeks, now. :)  (11.15.07, 8:51 am)

brianne: glad you all made it safely :) have a fun weekend! (11.15.07, 7:57 am)

Last Saturday we were in Augusta Georgia for Rebecca and David’s wedding.  They were married at Saint James United Methodist Church with the reception following at The Richmond on Greene.  We were so lucky to have beautiful places and gorgeous people to work with! :)   David’s mom is from Columbia and their whole family has given us the renewed desire to pick up Salsa dancing!  We’ll see how our two white left feet do with that…ha!

David, Rebecca and family – thank you all for your warmth and kindness!  You made us feel so welcomed and appreciated and we really enjoyed spending the day with you!  Congratulations newlyweds! :)   See you soon!

- Mel

 Get your run on

Nov, 8 2007 by Sean 

After the last race ended, we began a new race with two parts. Part 1: most miles over 30 days wins. Part 2: fastest 3 mile run. All I can say about part 1 is wow. Shannon Sewell destroyed us all. She came in first place with 139.59 miles! No joke, no typo. I’m getting tired just looking at the number. In comparison, second place was 63 miles. Congrats, Shannon! I would make some sort of comment about how I am going to take you DOWN next time… but that was pretty extreme… so I’ll just have to refrain from any smack talk for the time being for fear of not being able to deliver.

Fred Egan was in first place for part two for 29 days out of 30… and then, a last minute surprise… After being completely decimated by Shannon in part 1, I decided to give 200% effort to try to win part 2. I figured it would be pointless since I am incredibly slow. But I thought maybe I’d have a chance if I used a treadmill on high speed, and made that force me to go faster. On the last night of the race, I headed to the gym and tested out my theory. Ignoring all of the signs that tell you how important it is to stop if you feel dizzy or nausea, I pushed through anyway and was able to just barely take the top spot. I was more sore than I’ve ever been for almost an entire week, and felt sick for three full days… needless to say, I won’t be attempting that again for a long time! Congrats, Fred, for leading the entire month, and props to your speed! –Without a treadmill to help move my legs, I wouldn’t even have been close. I would probably have passed out on the side of the road after half a mile and still be laying there, recovering.

Everyone else who participated, good job all around and I look forward to the next race–I have barely walked 5 feet since it ended because I have no one to compete with.  Let’s get this thing rolling!

sean: thanks, everybody–I needed all the encouragement I could get! Next time, I’m sticking to distance. (11.15.07, 8:46 am)

david&kimi b: run sean, run! (11.12.07, 1:40 am)

Bethany Peery: Sean, After we left your house Tuesday I said to Larry, ”Sean looks different, more buff???” Now I realize it is because of all that running!!! Everyone LOVES the wedding pictures! Thanks again. Hope you guys are geting some rest. (11.8.07, 9:51 pm)

Kate C.: Hold on…….I just realized you said you took the top spot! (11.8.07, 9:55 am)

Kate C.: Dang Sean, I’m impressed..even if you didn’t win! (as I sit here and eat my cheesy poofs) :)  (11.8.07, 9:54 am)
