Traveling – Again…

Written by Mel McLellan

Hey All!  Sean and I are headed out for the week again.  It seems like we're never home for long anymore but that will soon be changing!  In the meantime, the northern Minnesota countryside is not the kindest for internet and cell phone usage so if you try to reach us while we're away, please be patient with us.  We'll get back to you as soon as we can!  Thank you so much!  Have a wonderful week everyone! -Mel and Sean

Arizona Destination Photography – Tara and Andrew Day 2

Written by Mel McLellan

The main locations we wanted to shoot in during our trip were the Antelope slot canyons.  We probably should have done some more research before we just showed up because when we got there and started asking around, we kept hearing something along the lines of how the folks in charge would have a 12 year old lead us in...and then leave us to die. Nice. Well, we decided to give it a go anyway. This was our first exposure to the canyon - this and the memorial to the 15 tourists who had died in the 90's.  Mind you, August is monsoon season for Arizona.  Even better!

So you keep going and this is the entrance to the canyons.  You climb in through this crack...

You then climb down a series of ladders (this was from our scouting trip before we involved the dress)...

and then tunnel you way through this - in a wedding dress.  Tara is my hero.

So is Andrew because he was this excited about it! :o)

In case you were wondering, they didn't even send us down with a 12 year old - they just let us wander down all by ourselves to die.  Was it worth it?  Uh, yah.  Soooo worth it! One of my favorites from Sean...

The bump and the tourist who decided Tara and Andrew were quite the attraction...

I can't sleep so instead I'm spending money…

Written by Mel McLellan

Work until midnight, in bed by 1am, and then wide awake at 6:30am - hmmm...this does not work for me.  However, we did get the coolest shark onesie in the mail yesterday from our adorable friends Mel and Brad and it got me to thinking that maybe there are cool boy clothes out there, after all.  This brings us to the spending money part and if you've got babies (boys or girls), you've got to check out this way cool site I just found! The Retro Baby Baby McLellan might not have a college fund but he will look completely rad as an infant!  I mean seriously, how amazing are these??

I know, I know - depending upon how cool the next generation thinks Mr. T and Ron Burgandy are will totally effect whether he will love us or hate us for this.  However, in the meantime, we're bigger than him and we think they're awesome! ;o)
