Downtown Senior Pictures | Chatham, Virginia Senior Photography

Franklin's Mom contacted me to book last minute senior pictures for him, which I was happy to oblige. What I didn't know what how much sophistication he would bring with him:) This session was such a breath of fresh air, as it was SO different from all of the other guy shoots I've done! We included soccer and his college, but the blazer and bowtie were my absolute favorite!! Franklin is a 2016 senior from Carlisle School.

Here are a few images from his downtown senior session in Chatham: 

Franklin is headed to Florida this fall! 

Franklin and his Mom were such a pleasure to work with! I can't wait for them to see their gorgeous custom products. 

I am definitely looking forward to the 2017 senior season. Summer and fall are both filling fast, so be sure to contact me ASAP to reserve your spot:) Just hit the contact tab at the top of the page!

Football Senior Pictures | Chatham, Virginia Senior Photography

Hunter wanted 1 thing from his session: football photos! After some convincing, I did manage to get him to agree to some casual photos as well:) His original session was interrupted by some pretty serious thunderstorms, so we rescheduled. In the meantime, he had his braces removed, so all in all it worked out to our advantage! He has a great smile and did great considering the heatwe endured! Hunter brought along his girlfriend who joined in a few as well:) Enjoy a few of my faves:

MBP takes NYC | Senior Style Guide Shootout with Brooke Daniels

I am soooooo beyond thrilled that I was able to travel to NYC for the first Senior Style Guide Destination Shootout. Brooke Daniels is the QUEEN of styling shoots...we shot in Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, along the streets, and in Times Square at midnight! Such an amazing time...I made new friends and met some that I've only known online. This shootout was a great prep for the PUSH conference that I'm attending next month in Indiana, also by Senior Style Guide. Camryn in Grand Central Station...loved this nautical look!

Outside of Radio City Music Hall and NBC Studios...

In Bryant Park...such a nice place! This is my favorite group shot...

Morgan in Grand Central...somehow I managed a shot without ANY people in it!

Nick is such a killer natural model...this is my fave shot that I have of him.

We didn't let the rain stop us either...we just did the best we could with what we had and still got killer images!

The second night of shooting in Times Square was with these two, Parker and Hannah!

These shots were just a few quick faves...I have SO MANY images to go through! MBP would love to offer destination senior sessions if there ever was any interest! To get started planning your session, just use the contact tab at the top of the page!

2016 Senior Models | Boho Chic | Custom Senior Photography, Danville, Virginia

My group model session was TONS of fun! We went with a boho chic theme, which the girls loved planning for. I had an old chair that I set up in a field. My husband cut some bamboo poles for me (and got eat up with ticks of all sizes) to make a teepee. One of my models brought the area rug....I threw in some pillows and lanterns, and TADA! A hippy camp fit for any sisterhood! LOVED it! I have models this year from Gretna, Chatham, Westover, Dan River, Tunstall, and GW high schools. Included here are my models from Westover, Dan River, Tunstall, and GW. Look for a separate post coming soon of my Gretna and Chatham models. MUA: Katie Mosher, River City Salon and Spa in Danville.

Meet Abby, a GW senior...

Meet Sydney from Westover...and Emmalee, who is homeschooled.

Meet my junior model, Lindsay, from Tunstall!

Meet Brianna (Bri) from Dan River, and Lindsey from Westover!

Ohhhh how I love shots of laughter....

We went down to the creek for a few shots...and a cool down:) The girls enjoyed it!

These ladies are tons of fun to work with...we have since met for our first "Sweet Frog Social." It was nice to be together, especially since Lindsey (from Westover, pictured above) had just lost her Dad to a tragic incident. We all are keeping her and her family in our prayers. I am thankful for such a great group of models who def seem to come together when needed.

Look for more photos of these lovely ladies as their senior sessions approach! If you're hoping to get in on this year's calendar, please don't wait! Summer is almost full (I have some Aug availability). Fall is almost full as well. Use the contact tab at the top to reach me!

I look forward to hearing from you! Megan

Senior Pictures | Danville Virginia and Surrounding Areas Photographer

Brooke's senior photo session was definitely a memorable one. She's a girl who knows who she is and wanted to showcase that in her photos. We started her session on the softball field at DRHS . Brooke is a ball player right down to her bones, so of course we had to spotlight that:) She also has a true love that goes by the name Jeep! LOL...girls and their rides, right? We finished up Brooke's portraits out in the Chatham area. Here are a few faves from her portrait session:

She has such a killer smile:) A true natural beauty!

I had that scarf with me and threw it on over her blue dress...PERFECT combo:) The shot above was Brooke's Mom's favorite from the day:)

Thanks so much for choosing me as your senior photographer, Brooke! I hope the rest of your senior year is a great time:)

Bedford Senior Photos | Bedford, Virginia Senior Photography

Clay's senior session was definitely a memorable one. I headed over to his family's farm in Bedford, knowing that he wanted photos with his dog, some around the farm, and that his Mom was so excited for them! I drove up with concerns about the weather, but was determined to get his session done, as he was leaving for college the next day! As I pulled up, I knew this session would be amazing...the farm was HUGE! Clay and his Dad chauffeured me and my assistant around on a side-by-side ATV and when I say we rode all over the farm, I mean ALL OVER THE FARM! They have such a beautiful place and perfect scenery for photos! Oh to live closer to them!

We started off with Clay's "hunting look" and then moved on to the pond...there was a dock and a canoe, and I could have stayed there for days! It was hot and humid, and the storms were rolling in. We were lucky for a while, as they seemed to be bypassing us.

Our luck started to run out, as the wind picked up some. But we kept shooting! Clay took me over to this HUGE rock in the woods, which had a huge dropoff on the opposite side. Truly a landmark...we climbed to the top of the little mountain, where we captured some of my favorite shots of the day!

The storms eventually caught us though...my last few shots were taken while it was starting to rain.

Clay's session was quite the adventure...our ride back up to the barn was in the pouring rain. Lightning actually struck in a field right down the road, which resulted in the Fire Dept and rescue personnel on scene! But all in all, Clay's senior photo session was a total success!

See, I shoot guys too! If you're looking to book a session with me, don't wait! I'm already booking Spring 2015!

I look forward to hearing from you! Megan
