Parker | Danville, Virginia Senior Photography

Parker's downtown Danville senior session was one for the books! We had so much fun, he was so photogenic, and I'm telling yall, I enjoy working with guys just as much as the girls! 

I loved his blazer jacket...

The last 2 images are my faves:) Downtown Danville senior pictures always seem to bring variety to a session! 

Megan Bryant Photography is still booking 2017 seniors, so if you waited until the last minute, it's ok! We can make it happen:) I look forward to planning your custom senior session with you!

Welcome Winter...and Happy Holidays!!

I always enjoy getting my Model Crew together...these girls all hold a special place in my heart and will never know how amazing I truly think they are! We decided to do a holiday shoot, but then I decided I didn't want it to scream Christmas, so we scaled it back a notch. I told them to think plaid, boots, fur, etc and they planned their own outfits. It was SUPER windy the day of the shoot, but these girls toughed it out...and of course I gave them "heat breaks." I love the look of the pine trees and was thankful for the greenery the photos:)

Here are a few from our session: 

These girls are SO much fun, but can totally switch on the fierce in a split second! We are planning another group shoot so I can't wait to work with these girls again:))) 

My Spring calendar is now open for booking, so be sure to contact me if you're interested in a custom senior session!

Farewell Class of 2016 | Downtown Graduation Shoot

My Class of 2016 Model Team has definitely been a group that has left an imprint on my heart. I have enjoyed getting to know these ladies and having them in front of my lens. I know that they're destined for great things (regardless of the world's standards). I pray that they stay true to themselves and remember our fun times together!! 

We got together (FINALLY, after trying several times to coordinate a date) for a fun farewell shoot in downtown Danville. I wanted to photograph them in their caps and gowns, as well as in a tshirt representing the college they plan to attend! It was kinda hot, but they were troopers and we all had fun:) Gosh, I miss these girls already! 

Check out this mini-film of our shoot in downtown Danville.

Farewells: 

Brianna was such a fab model and was thrilled to be a part of the model team! She quickly made friends with everyone, was always eager, and I will never forget her smile! Love you, Bri!

Bri's quote of choice as she moves forward to continue her education at Averett University is: 
"Blessed are those who see beautiful things in humble places where others see nothing." -Camille Pissarro

Emmalee has been a model for 2 years (was a Junior model last year) and was always eager to assist me whenever I needed someone! I sure hope that we can schedule in a time to grab a Brown Sugar Cinnamon shake from Brewed Awakening sometime soon! 

Emmalee plans to attend Lynchburg College in the fall AND continue to pursue her love of dance. Her quote of choice:
"You can never be overdressed or overeducated." -Oscar Wilde

Kaitlyn has the most amazing hair and I will always think of our fake snow shoot whenever I think of her!! We had so many laughs that day:) She has a great family and I know that great things are in store for her!

Kaitlyn is headed to UVA this fall and shared:
"Now is the time for all of us to become the people we have always dreamed of being. This is your world. You're here. You matter. The world is waiting."
-Haley James Scott, One Tree Hill

Kayley is such a ray of sunshine...even when it rains for her shoot! (You can check out her rainy day shoot here). She loves my kids (and they love her) and I will be forever thankful to have had our paths cross. She has left an imprint on them and me that will never be forgotten! 

Kayley is headed to Averett this fall, and her chosen quote was:
"Cause your story's far from over and your journey's just begun."

Leah is such a glowing, huge ball of personality and I will love her forever! She is a pageant queen, model extraordinaire, and has a really amazing family too! She can be indecisive at times, but I'm confident that she will trust God's plan for her and has a very bright future ahead! 

Leah is off to UVA this fall, and shared this quote: 
"So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination." 
-Coach Whitey Durham, One Tree Hill 

Lindsey is one of the strongest people I know. She has faced huge challenges, and despite the struggles, still has a smile on her face. Lindsey was this year's fashionista...she was always decked out perfectly, accessories and all! She has such an amazing family, and I can't wait to see what God does with her! 

Lindsey will be attending DCC this fall, and shared this quote:
"Life is a journey and only YOU hold the key." 

Sydney is a fighter. I've had seen her overcome obstacles, and I know that she will continue to do so! I have loved working with her and her Grandmother throughout this past year. They are some of the sweetest people ever! I know that Sydney is destined for greatness:) 

Sydney is off to Averett this fall and shared this quote:
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Even though Abby didn't make it to our farewell shoot, I can't forget about her! Abby is such a sweet soul...I am thankful to have had you on the team, Abby! 

Abby's quote of choice is "Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten." 

One of Abby's images was selected to be the cover image for my 2017 Senior Magazine.

Gonna miss you all....time to implement a model alumni program of some sort to get us all back together again! 

Coming soon: a blog post all about the new Class of 2017 Model Crew!

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

Haley is such a beautiful girl, inside and out! It was my pleasure to shoot her senior portraits. I loved her location selection.

Haley is a 2015 homeschool senior. Enjoy a few favorites from her senior photo session!
