Happy Memorial Day! {Southeast Minnesota Portrait Photographer}

Everyday we should be remembering our military troops,  but today especially is set aside to honor the United States men and women who have died serving their country.  It is a very special day to honor  and remember veterans who bravely  gave their lives while serving,  to thank and remember surviving veterans who have served to protect our great country,  and  to also  say thanks to the men and women that are currently serving to preserve the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.  With that being said, I gratefully  say thank you!

Hope you and your family have enjoyed this beautiful Memorial Day Weekend!

Close to 80 Degrees Outside… {Southeast MN Photographer}

in March and what was my Dad doing yesterday?

undefined

Yep, packing and loading snowmobiles to head out west to Wyoming and Montana.  The weather we’ve had in Minnesota the last week has just been crazy, hasn’t it? But I’m not complaining.

undefinedundefinedHope the AC worked today as they crossed South Dakota with 85 degree temps…..  =)  undefinedundefinedHere’s part of what I jokingly call the “white truck brigade” because one night Kerin and I came back  from a shoot and there were 6 or 7 white trucks  sitting in my driveway as they were all working on their sleds.  undefinedAfter talking with the guys, Jackson and I went behind the barn to check out the flower area.  Hard to believe that there are spring  flowers coming up already.  undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Hope you are able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.

Looking Forward to Summer {Southeast Minnesota Children’s Photographer}

I’ve had a few camera cards with family candids laying on my desk since this past summer,  knowing I needed to get them onto my computer still.   I finally got around to it on Friday.  Last summer, I got to spend my days hanging out with my little cousins every other week.  We spent a lot of time outside, swimming, having water balloon fights,  doing sidewalk chalk art, picking flowers, and probably the most time was spent up in our woods on a fallen tree.  They just loved climbing it and jumping off it into the wildflowers we have planted by it.  It’s pretty cool that they are the 6th generation of McGill-McGhie-Millet’s to run around our farm. Can wait to be doing this again in four months or so….

undefinedundefinedThese photos also make me laugh because I remember asking “C” “is it winter, today?”   To which he replied, “No, it’s summer”, I then said “are you sure, because I think  you may roast  today with the temp being 80 something and hot. ”  He looked at me like, “oh, man” and asked, “really?”.  “Yep!”  I believe he ended up putting his swimming trunks on at some point.  undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedThe picture above blows me away because he looks exactly like his Dad, which I usually don’t always see because I can see his Mom in him as well, but in this photo all I see is his Dad.  undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedLOVE her laugh, it makes my heart smile.  =)undefinedundefined
