Kayla is such a natural beauty...I just couldn't get over her gorgeous eyes! I was thrilled to be her senior photographer and she has the sweetest Mom! When we were planning her session out a few days prior, I knew that I wanted to take her to a sunflower field that was in bloom.

As I'm sure most of you are VERY aware of, we've been experiencing LOTS of rain here in Virginia....for really, the past TWO WEEKS. [I want summer back, WAHHHH!] And with lots of rain comes rescheduled photo sessions. Kayley however, was up for the challenge of shooting in the rain. Yes, this was all HER idea!
Sometimes, I just need a creative boost or even just some time to shoot for myself...this was one of those times. I love it when I can work with my models one on one...and this session didn't disappoint me:)
This summer has been a busy one! And until I can blog each session, I thought I would share a quick recap of this summer's senior sessions and some of my favorite images so far from those sessions!
Summer 2015 has definitely been one for the books...I seriously don't want it to end!! Where do I start? It's certainly been a summer of travel...I've been to NYC, Indiana, and in between:) I want to share some images from this summer's adventures, as well as just reminisce in the memories made!
Meet Joshua. He's a 2016 senior from Gretna High and also on my model team. Joshua is such a breath of fresh air. It's not often that you run into seniors, let alone senior guys, who are firm in their faith and don't hesitate to stand for what they believe in.
Brianna is one of my 2016 Senior models. I grabbed her one day a couple of weeks ago to head out into a field I had spotted for some summery photos...We also hit a few other areas while we were out and about:)
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:

Casey's senior session was TONS of fun...full of country girl pizzazz! Her long blonde hair is absolutely gorgeous! And I loved that we finished up with a braid! Enjoy a few favorites from her session:)

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!

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
