| Welcome |

|
| Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm Megan Boone, a lifestyle photographer from Southern Oregon. This blog was designed to be a sneak peek into both my professional and personal life. If you are a client I hope that it will give you an understanding of my business philosophies as well as my personality and style of work. If you are a family member or friend it will just be a good way to check in on our daily adventures. My goal is to keep things interesting so aside from my photography, you can expect to find everything from recipes that I'm loving, books and music to check out, to anecdotes about weird looking bugs that I find in my bathtub. So please take the time to utilize your bookmark function, or you can subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom, if that is the sort of thing floats your boat. If neither of those options made sense to you, then you need to pull out a piece of paper and write down meganboonephotography.net with a pen, then stick the note to your computer screen for safekeeping. In the meantime enjoy the rest of the blog. Oh, and my genius blog designer Brock Martin has made it incredibly easy to leave comments. So let's all take advantage of that shall we? |

| Little Boxes, Little Boxes Made of Awesomeness... |

| I went to a terrific poetry reading last month and came across these fabulous little origami poems. The lovely lady that came up with them goes by the name of Amy Miller, and at every turn she wows me. As far as dying arts go, I think that poetry is leading the pack. And by dying art ,I don't necissarily mean we are at a shortage of poets, perhaps just a shortage of good ones. Amy, however, is the real deal. When someone is really genius at what they do, adjectives seem to always fall a bit short. But, I digress, because I was really going to talk about these little origami poetry boxes that she makes. |
I sweet-talked her into letting me post one of her poems that I thought fit the occasion.
What Goes On Inside a Box?
A quiet, closet
life, a universe
inverted. The hollow
sound of space:
the dark debating
whether God is in there,
and if so, what
could be outside. |

I'm a bit behind on some Photoshop work for friends and family. Being a photographer can sometimes be a double edged sword for people I'm close to. Sure, they get a lot of great photos, but the truth is that they inevitably get pushed to the bottom of the processing pile.
In the end, they'll always forgive me. Because it may be a little late, but oh so worth the wait. |

| I just came across this while searching for the perfect font. My own handwriting leaves a lot to be desired but I have to say I would adore getting emails from the people I love and don't see so much in their handwriting. It is a tempting Christmas present. |

| The Egg Play |
|
|
|
I got a call from a VERY talented playwright recently, asking if I was available for an emergency head shot session. Seeing that I like to surround myself with the hip and incredibly good looking artistic set, I was happy to oblige.
|
| If you are interested in producing his highly acclaimed work called The Egg Play you can do so at that link. |
| I thought this one was had a nice "backstage at an indie film festival vibe". |
| Oh, and sorry ladies, he's taken. |

Another Independence Day has come and gone. As I think I've said here before, one of my favorite things about holidays is that you get to do the EXACT same thing as the holiday before. I find some sort of quaint comfort in that. Needless to say, we didn't change things up much from last year.
Just as always, I found myself surprised that the parade starts so early. I'll no doubt re-forget and be surprised next year. I wasn't completely feeling the parade this year. It was more fun to just watch Bren interact with it. |
| For the most part he stayed somewhere in between joy and horror while watching everyone go by. However, he was pretty excited when Mr. Dave (his playschool teacher) came by doing some BMX stunts. |
| I had Bren pose once with a flag on the street, and he then took it upon himself to pose at each and everyone of the flags he saw for the rest of the day. It was pretty cute the first two times. Not so much the sixth and seventh. |
| Since I'm always looking for any excuse to bake and decorate cupcakes, we decided to head home to do just that. |
| Somehow, he managed to wait until all were adorned before plunging in. |
One new addition to our 4th of July was a trip to the fireworks tent. Considering the boy was so terrified of people at the parade I was thinking that fireworks wouldn't be well received. Apparently, smiling people marching by handing out candy = Terrifying. Explosions, fire, and ear-piercing screeches = Most Excellent.
The Fire Truck was the all around crowd pleaser. Brendan's favorite because he loves fire trucks. My favorite because I couldn't resist the irony of a fire truck driving around spewing fire. The little ladder even popped out at the end and blasted out even MORE tiny fire balls. Worst. Firemen. Ever. |
| These little tanks always catch on fire. |
| We went to Garfield Park for the big ones later that night. I decided not to take any pics because I was sort of having a "been-there, done-that" kind of feeling about pictures of big fireworks. If this saddens you, feel free to get a bit of deja vu with last year. |
