All I can say about this session is "WOW!" We had so much fun and it shows in every picture. Loved going on a downtown adventure with such a supermodel! Hope you all love these as much as I do:

Thanks so much for asking me to do your pictures Sylvia! It was a blast!

Baby G.

This shoot was so much fun for me! This is my sister and her husband Dallas, and inside Deneille's tummy is "Baby G", or Asher Martin Golden. I'm already completely in love with this little baby boy and can't wait until he is born! This is our first "family baby" and this happens to be my first "maternity" shoot! I loved being able to capture this special time for Deneille and Dallas. They are going to be great parents! I love you guys!

Now a little sneak peek of the shoot:

Thank you guys so much for asking me to take your pictures! I loved being able to capture this special time in your lives and can't wait until Asher is born.

Bethany.

I'm not totally sure how to express my feelings for these pictures except for saying WOW! I am absolutely in love with these pictures and it is not hard to see why! I had trouble picking out "favorites" to post on the blog because I had already narrowed down the entire shoot to 60 of my favorites (and that is no joke!). I had been worried we weren't going to get good shots because it was so cloudy the day we took the pictures, but these more than exceeded my expectations. Not to mention, Bethany is absolutely gorgeous and obviously very photogenic.

Well, I know at this point you are dying with anticipation so I will quite typing and let all the pictures do the talking. Enjoy...

Thank you so much Bethany for asking me to take your senior pictures! I love these pictures and I love you! Hope you like them :)

By the way, if anyone is needing more information about pictures my email address is megandepew89@gmail.com and I would love to hear from you!

Luke working hard while we play :)
I love him!

This past weekend we had a bonfire out at Lake Okmulgee! If you haven't been there you need to go. It was amazing! We made hotdogs and smores while enjoying the great outdoors. I'm considering this my introduction to the wild seeing as eventually (maybe) they are going to get me to go camping.

Hopefully I'll love sleeping outdoors as much as I love playing outdoors.

If camping is anything like this weekend, I know i will love it!

"When words become unclear,
I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence"
-Ansel Adams

Photography to me is more than just a person and a camera; it is a way to remember life as beautiful.

Simply put, I love photography- not just capturing an image, but capturing personality on film. There is something special about photographing a person and seeing more than just their face. I love being able to take the time to get to know the soul of an individual and bring out the best in them through the eye of my lens.

As a kid, my life was full of "say cheese!" and "move a little to the left" while my dad was hanging upside down in a tree, trying to get the best angle of his little girls. Growing up around a photographer initially made me take for granted the beauty to be found in a quality photograph. As I got older, my Dad handed over his camera for me to experiment with and my life turned completely upside down. It was a slow beginning, as most beginnings seem to be, but I soon became obsessed with photography and still am.

I hope you all enjoy my blog. I will be posting pictures very soon!

The Runaway.

noreply@blogger.com (Megan Leigh Depew) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:26:00 +0000

This past week I was on fall break and I have been dying to do a photo-shoot that tells a story. I went and bought antique suitcases at the River City Trading Post in Jenks (if you haven't been there, and love antiques, you HAVE to check it out!). After buying the props the "story" just fell into place. I'm not exactly sure where all of my inspiration came from but I ended up thinking up the theme

"The Runaway".

This is her story:

I had an amazing time doing this shoot and editing the pictures! I want to send a special thanks out to "The Runaway", Savannah, for being so patient with me and the perfect model for this shoot!! You are beautiful!

I also wanna say thanks to Tara for coming to the shoot with me, helping me come up with ideas, and being in pictures!

You girls are amazing!

If you are interested in pictures, contact me at megandepew89@gmail.com for pricing and scheduling.

Thanks for checking out the blog and for all your support!

Here is a sneak peek of a photo-shoot I did with my beautiful sister, Julia, over the weekend!

I've been having so much fun getting the chance to do shoots with all the people I love and I'm learning so much! At this shoot I was able to play around with shooting in "manual" and all the shots below are done that way!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Let me know if you are interested in a shoot! All of my information is in the "about me" section under my profile picture! E-mail me and we can set something up!

Thanks so much to everyone who is following my blog! I love all the support!

Engaged!

noreply@blogger.com (Megan Leigh Depew) — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 08:14:00 +0000

I've been a bit behind on my blog posts lately, but I have made a list, and I'm getting some new blogs out soon! I decided to start the process by sharing a little bit of my personal life with everyone. I just recently got ENGAGED on December 18, 2010 to the most wonderful man on the planet, Luke McLeod!

I wanted to go ahead and post the proposal story here on the blog with a couple of pictures that my dad took on the day we got engaged! Also, I just wanted to fairly warn everyone that I wrote a very detailed account of our proposal story (to say the least) so be prepared for a long read! And hey, if you aren't into reading, skip on down to the pictures!

How it all happened:

It was Saturday, December 18th when my life was forever changed. The day started as a very "lazy day". I woke up around noon and slowly began what I like to call a "spa day." I showered, did my nails, put on my make-up and curled my hair. Honestly, it couldn't have been a better way to get ready to get engaged, and I had no idea!

The original plan for the day was to go to Grove, Oklahoma to meet my Mom's old pastor and then go to "Christmas Town" and I wasn't to thrilled about it-to say the least. I had told my parents that the only way I would agree to go was if Luke would be able to come with us. They agreed and I then invited Luke to what would be his proposal. Honestly, I was completely oblivious to the idea that this could be the big day-Luke did a fantastic job of keeping it a complete mystery.

Now back to the actual day, as i was finishing up my spa day I got a phone call from Luke saying that he was going to be running late because he was stuck in a lot of traffic coming from OKC. I told my parents, but at this point I thought there was still hope that Luke would be able to make it on time-boy, was I wrong! I found out that Luke was stuck in "stand-still" traffic due to two semis that were completely turned over (he's very creative as you can see) and had spilled meat all over the road!

At this point, I'm becoming a basket case of emotion and refusing to look at my family or speak to them because I knew that they wouldn't wait for him if he was running late.

As I'm moping around, picking out clothes, my sister, Julia, comes into my room. I immediately tell her that I don't want to talk to anyone and that I'm really upset that Luke won't be able to go with us. After trying to talk to me some and getting shut-down numerous times Julia suggests that I should ask Mom and Dad if they would mind if I stayed behind and waited for Luke and come out to meet their friends and go to "Christmas Town" late.

After deep contemplation I decided to ask my parents and they agreed to let me stay behind and wait for Luke. ( I was seriously putty in their hands! So easy to fool me!)

I wait for about 45 minutes for Luke to arrive at my house and then spend the next hour and a half talking with Luke and explaining to him how i wouldn't go without him because i love him so much as we are on our way out to see the random people and "Christmas Town." Not only does Luke know everything that is going on, he is letting me navigate the way to the house as if Luke as never heard of it before. (He is an amazing actor and should seriously consider changing his degree, by the way.) He went as far as to make a "wrong turn" when we got out close to the house to further throw me off!

We finally make it out to the house and there is a note on the door that says "Come on in, We are out back!" I keep making comments on how lame it is and how annoyed I am that they are all hanging out in the back.

We get to the back porch and the deck is beautiful-I even commented on it. I yell "HELLO!" a few times thinking that maybe they had gone on down towards the lake.

Then the magic began.

Hundreds of icicle lights came on and the song "Postcards from Far Away" by Coldplay began to play in the background. I was completely shocked and instantly in awe of my surroundings. At this point, my whole world went in to slow motion.

I turned to look at Luke and there were the most beautiful tears in his eyes. At that moment, I FINALLY knew what was happening.

Luke grabbed my hands and looked at me and said some beautiful things to me and then got down on one knee and said, "Megan, will you marry me?"

After what felt like a million years, I got my words to connect with my brain and I said "Yes, of course I will marry you!" He put the most beautiful ring on my finger and jumped up and we hugged and kissed.

As if that wasn't wonderful enough the song " A Whole New World" came on and then the firework show began! Literal fireworks to match the wonderful explosions that were going on inside of me! I have never cried such happy tears as I did at that moment when it began to sink in.

The next thing that happened still blows me away-Luke invited all of our Family and Friends to be there with us after we got engaged! It was more than perfect. We all hugged and laughed and cried, then we began the party! Our parents stayed for a while, and then left us to stay the night at Peter's lakehouse with all of our closest friends!

It was the most magical day of my life and I have never felt happier than I did then and do now. He's everything I want and need. I'm the happiest engaged woman on the planet.

The Proof:

Thank you so much Dad for taking these pictures!

This really was the most incredible day of my life up to this point and I know that getting married will be even more incredible! I've been loving wedding planning so far and can't wait to see how all the pieces fit together.

If anyone is curious, I have already chosen a wedding photographer! She is AMAZING! Her name is Carissa and she is incredibly talented. You can check her beautiful pictures out at ccmillerphotography.com. You won't be disappointed!

Once again, Thanks so much to all of the people who keep coming back to look at the blog! I hope you enjoyed a more personal blog post! There will be more blog posts to come, and very soon!
