Senior Portraits | Chatham, Virginia Senior Photography

Haley is such a beautiful girl, inside and out! It was my pleasure to shoot her senior portraits. I loved her location selection. Her outfits were fashionable while still showcasing her country girl side:) Haley is a girl who loves her truck and hunting...she also loves horses, I only wish we had been able to showcase that during her session! Haley is a 2015 homeschool senior. Enjoy a few favorites from her senior photo session!

Haley, you are so beautiful and such a pleasure to be around! I wish nothing short of the best for you! Thank you for choosing MBP:)

If you're looking to book your senior session, please do not wait! Summer and Fall are already filling up!

I look forward to hearing from you:) Megan

Alyssa | Chatham Hall, Chatham Virginia Photographer

Alyssa is a 2015 senior at Chatham Hall and one of Megan Bryant Photography's 2015 senior models. Her senior portrait session was extremely unique because we got to use the grounds on her campus. Chatham Hall has a beautiful campus and the day was perfect for photos...we dodged a few storm clouds, but it all worked out! She is such a lovely young lady. Enjoy a few favorites from her day:

The campus had such gorgeous landscaping to complement Alyssa's outfits!

One of my fave photos ever...

She brought along this hat, so I just had to do a shot like this:)

Alyssa, working with you is always a pleasure:) I wish you the best with your future endeavors!

Class of 2015 seniors, it's not too late to book a session! Contact me today!

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:)

Ready to book your senior session? I have some spring availability left, but please don't wait until the last minute to contact me! You want to ensure that you get the date that you want:)

I look forward to hearing from you and planning your senior session:)

Fashion Inspiration | Danville, Virginia Custom Photography

Winter is cold and sometimes blustery. And can be plain out miserable. Luckily, I live in an area that is not like this ALL WINTER LONG...we often are blessed with nice days during winter, which has me chomping at the bit to get out there and shoot people! HA!

Another reason some people may avoid winter photos is because they think they can't look cute and not freeze to death at the same time. Well, fear not! I'm here to help with the winter fashion blues and can't wait to share some looks that I recently came across, as well as some looks from my own seniors!

Winter opens up a whole new realm of opportunity for expression through fashion. I ran across this blog recently that shares 60 trendy winter looks! Here is one of them:) LOVE this skirt and blouse combo!

Or how about jackets? You can still look amazing and be warm too! I love peacoats and trenches, but this embellished leather jacket looks amazing!

Fur is one of my favorites, and has def been on trend this season. I loved adding it in with prom dresses! But fur is a great addition to a plaid shirt or even sequin looks!

Don't fear the winter wardrobe when it comes to photos...you can still look amazing despite the cooler temps! I shoot senior sessions year round. If you're looking to book your senior portraits soon, just use the contact tab at the top of the page! I look forward to hearing from you and helping overcome any wardrobe blues!

Stay Stylish! Megan

Mariah is one of my 2015 Senior models. I remember meeting her for the first time and loving how adorable she was! She had so many different ideas for her session, so it was tons of fun to plan. I loved ALL of her outfits, especially the romper! We started her senior portrait session in downtown Danville and finished up out in rural Chatham. Her session may or may not have included my running from a bee (and guiding my clients away from a yellow jackets' nest)! See, your senior session can be full of so many different memories! Enjoy a few favorites from the day:

Ohhh this top...

LOVE LOVE LOVE this romper...so perfect!

I love the windblown look here:)

Mariah is a dancer, so of course we had to include some dance photos too!

"Dance is the hidden language of the soul." -Martha Graham

And we both loved this shot...so serene.

Mariah, her Mom, and I had a great time during her session! I'm currently booking 2015, which includes 2016 seniors! The inquiries have already been rolling in, so don't wait until the last minute!

I look forward to hearing from you! Megan

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

Kelsey is one of my 2015 senior models. She has been working hard with promoting MBP...so she was totally game when I shared my ideas with her for this session. Together we planned the outfits all around different edgy looks to pair with the feather crown. I have always wanted to do something like this, so it was nice to shoot something for my own creative outlet:) Here are some faves from the session:

Love this one shot through the leaves...

#modernsenior featured this image below on their Instagram!

This image below was chosen as one of the Top 5 on The Snap Society last week!

Such an amazing session! I hope yall enjoyed looking at these as much as I enjoyed shooting them:) Thanks Kelsey for taking my ideas and running with them! And a special thank you to Kelsey's Mom, April, for assisting as well!

Where did this month go?! November wasn't quite as insanely booked as last month, thank goodness, but I did get to photograph some awesome seniors! There were a few other sessions too:) Here are some favorites from the month:

My seniors were gorgeous as always:) Morgan's shoot was downtown and I just love how this wind-blown one turned out!

Chelsi's senior session was full of the beautiful fall colors.

Peyton knew what she was doing when she paired the stripes with the quilted vest! Such a great fall fashion statement! I love the boots and the socks as well:)

As I stated earlier, I got to shoot more than just seniors this month:) Lindsay's teen style session included lots of dance! I love the movement in this photo:

Eric and Dulce are like seriously the world's most attractive couple...we had such a great time shooting their engagement portraits despite all the wind!

The Seays will be welcoming their little bundle after Christmas!

Faith and her boys make such a beautiful family. They were troopers for their chilly session.

Rae Anne & Kavon booked me again...this time for their engagement photos! And this time, there was a new addition to their family! Meet Jade, their beautiful pit:)

Premiere Senior Photography | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Lydia's session back in August took place around town (Chatham). We enjoyed walking around town discovering little nooks for her photos:) Lydia has such a natural beauty...and I love her short hair! It's not often that I shoot senior girls with short hair, but she totally pulls off the look! Lydia is a homeschool 2015 high school senior, whom also attends church with me! I love her and her family and was thrilled to shoot her senior photos:) Here are a few of our favorites from the day!

See what I mean?! A total natural beauty! I know you will go far in life, Lydia! Best wishes with your senior year and plans for the future!

Custom Senior Photography | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Sarah is such a sweetheart. I enjoyed working with her and shooting her senior portraits so much! Sarah is a 2015 senior at Chatham High School. Her senior photo session took place back in August. Katie at River City Salon and Spa styled Sarah's hair and makeup, and of course Sarah looked amazing! We shot her photos in the Chatham area and then finished up in town. I knew that the weather for the day would start off beautiful, but storms were on the way. We crossed our fingers!

Sarah had several different looks. I love it when there is variety to wardrobe, as well as location. Sarah definitely had both!

This image below was Sarah's favorite! It looked amazing enlarged to a 20x24 portrait!

Sarah should definitely check into modeling agencies...

Brunette + military green = perfect combo!

This dress....ohhhhhh LOVED it!

I couldn't resist adding in my big floppy hat for a few! This shot was another one of Sarah's top faves:)

Just as we wrapped up, the wind was picking up, so we knew a storm was near. We packed everything up and as we pulled off, the downpour began! I couldn't have timed that any more perfectly if I had tried! Sarah, your session was tons of fun, and I'm so glad that you chose me as your senior photographer! Best wishes on your senior year!
