Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!

We’re back! We took a week off and came back ready and refreshed for a jam packed week – let’s see what we got up to!

This week’s writer

Hey readers, it’s Kari! I’m the video content specialist here at Tellwell and I have the pleasure of writing this week’s plog. As part of the film team, I conduct interviews, direct talent, write storylines, and so much more! Let’s get into it!

Jumping back into filming

The film team came back with a bang this week with filming, photography, and more.

On Wednesday, they went to Bismarck to tag along on a field trip at the Gateway To Science with a North Dakota afterschool program! We conducted interviews, followed the action as kids explored the space, and even got on the school bus for a bit! This is just another piece to a much larger project in the works, so keep an eye out for more details on that as we wrap up production in the near future!

On Friday, we spent time at Fargo North High School for some filming for an instructional video! The film team, actors, and former intern Alayna had a successful film shoot to end the week – way to finish strong!

M3 Golf Tournament ⛳️

Another year, another successful M3 Tournament! Our very own Design Project Manager Megan is executive director for M3 – a nonprofit organization working to raise awareness, eliminate the stigma, and connect resources surrounding mental health.

A few of us followed the action with cameras, capturing the fun and golf skills of participants. We also had a Tellwell team participate in the tournament! Along with this, Tellwell is a proud sponsor of the event.

With beautiful weather and a couple of hours on the green, it was an amazing day all around.

Three men and one woman stand on a gold course and pose for a photo. They are all wearing golf polos and hats. The sky is blue and slightly cloudy.
A man with a patterned shirt and black baseball cap holds a camera, taking a photo of a family of five. The family is golfing and standing on the green.
A group of six adults stands closely together, smiling for a photo on a sunny patio overlooking a golf course. The group includes four men and two women, dressed in casual summer clothing, some wearing golf attire and caps. Behind them are metal patio tables and chairs, as well as a view of the lush green course, golf carts, and a few buildings in the distance. The mood is cheerful and relaxed.
A woman in a black tank top and black shorts is holding a professional camera, photographing a golfer mid-swing on a sunny golf course. The golfer, wearing a light blue tank top and black skirt, is finishing a drive on the tee box. In the background, three women pose for a photo on the fairway, smiling. Golf carts and equipment are visible nearby, and the sky is bright with scattered clouds over the lush green course.

The move is on! 📦

This was our last full week in the old office, but we are onto bigger and better things! Our big move is next Wednesday, so let the packing begin! We are so excited to get into our new space and get things settled. Come back next week for moving and new office content!

A stack of flattened moving boxes sits on a table along with three rolls of packing tape, several permanent markers, and a stack of StickyNotes.

Re:Week Re:Cap!

As you all know, Team Tellwell was OoO last week for Re:Week. Let’s see what some of our team got up to with their time off!

Riley

I spent most of my Re:Week at the cabin, soaking up the sun and cruising around on the e-foil. Hard to beat lake time!

A golden retriever stands in a lake at sunset. The water is still and the sky has clouds throughout and is a mix of blue, yellow and orange as the sun sets.

Sandie

I spent the week helping my sister and her fam get settled in their new home in Moorhead. They moved back to the area after living in North Carolina for the past several years. It was a great time watching the cousins bond and catching up with them!

A two-photo collage of a family’s summer celebration. The top photo shows a smiling group of five—two adults and three young girls—posing together in front of a red barn and silo. Everyone is dressed casually in warm-weather clothes, with bright sunlight and green trees in the background. The bottom photo shows five young girls dressed in festive red, white, and blue outfits with star-shaped glasses, tutus, and glittery accessories, sitting on a decorated golf cart for the Fourth of July. They're smiling and posing together in a grassy neighborhood area.

Jordan

I traveled west to Mandan to spend the Fourth with my wife’s family, and take in their favorite tradition, the Mandan 4th of July parade! Had a great time with some extended family, and enjoyed bringing the dogs with us!

A man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and straw hat sits in a folding chair in the street, it appears he is watching a parade. He is holding two dogs on leashes, one is wearing a tie-dye bandana around their neck.

Kari

During our time off, we visited my hometown on the North Shore, spent some time at a tiny cabin in Willow River and explored Jay Cooke State Park! A little bit of time at home, a little bit of exploring, and a little bit of camping – all great things!

A two-photo collage of a camping trip. The top photo shows a smiling couple standing in front of a rocky riverbank surrounded by lush green forest. The woman wears sunglasses and a white tank top; the man wears glasses, a white t-shirt with a tiny cocktail glass graphic, and a green cap. The bottom photo shows a small campfire burning in a metal fire ring with a cooking grate above it, surrounded by gravel and grass.

Lucas

We took a road trip up the coast of California, enjoying gorgeous ocean views and all the incredible nature of the West coast. Our first adventure into Big Sur was incredibly memorable and has us already dreaming about our next trip! We also met some cool birds.

A two-photo collage of a beach visit. The left photo shows a smiling couple standing on a sandy beach with ocean waves and a tall, rocky hill in the background. The man wears sunglasses and a hoodie; the woman wears a green "Seattle" baseball cap and a windbreaker. The right photo shows a dramatic rock formation with a natural arch through its base, where ocean waves crash through to the other side, under a partly cloudy blue sky.

Jenny

Jenny kicked off the week with some relaxing time at home and a little salon self-care. Midweek took her to Lake Lida for a sunny pontoon day with her college crew and her favorite burgers from Maple Beach. She then spent a few peaceful days at Little Pine Lake with family, enjoying kid swim sessions and a sunset cruise with red wine. The break wrapped up with a stop at Long Bridge and a slow, lazy Sunday back in Fargo.

Left image: A smiling family of four poses on a wooden deck in front of a lush green marsh. The man on the left wears a blue cap and a short-sleeve patterned shirt, while the woman on the right wears a white sweatshirt and shorts, holding a young girl in a pink outfit. A young boy stands in front of the man, wearing a light gray shirt and dark shorts. The weather is sunny with a clear blue sky. Right image: A group of four adults sits at a picnic table outside a small white building with red trim, surrounded by greenery. Three men and one woman are enjoying takeout meals with fries and sandwiches. The woman in front is smiling brightly and taking the selfie. The atmosphere is casual and cheerful, with trees providing shade and a relaxed, summery vibe.

Megan

I spent my week at the lakes with friends and family. Between pontoon rides, card games on the deck, frisbee with the pups, and swimming off the boat, it was a week well spent!

A large multigenerational family poses outdoors on a grassy lawn surrounded by trees. The group includes around 25 people of various ages—from babies to older adults—along with several dogs. Most people are smiling and dressed in casual summer clothing. Some are sitting on the ground, some are kneeling, and others are standing in rows. It's a relaxed and cheerful family gathering, likely during a summer reunion or vacation.

Annie

I spent my weekend logging some miles on the bike trails and the roads. In addition to some bike miles in FM, I took a quick trip to Detroit Mountain with Duncan and Max mid-week for a biking adventure. Then I headed up to the Iron Range in MN for some Fourth of July festivities in a friend’s hometown to round out Re:Week!

A two-photo collage. The top photo shows three adults in bike helmets smiling at the camera with a lush, green forested area in the background. Two men wear matching black and teal Tellwell Story Co. + Studio biking jerseys, and the woman wears sunglasses and a light blue helmet. The bottom photo shows a lively street parade with people dressed as clowns and in colorful costumes, walking and dancing past a crowd of onlookers. A child in the foreground wears a Buxton #25 baseball jersey.

Jen

My little family spent time with my parents for a weekend eating good foods and playing in our backyard. Mid-week, I spent an afternoon catching up with a dear friend and getting creative at Clay Your Way. The rest of the week was preparing for and attempting tent camping with a 4 year old and a 4 month old (one day/night of success!) before retreating from the excessive bugs and heat for some lovely down time at home.

That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming July 18th!
