Matthew came to me for a casual senior session, in which he wanted to include some fitness shots. I was pretty pumped for his session because I knew it would be different. We had a blast! Here are a few favorites from this GW High School senior's portrait session in downtown Danville, Virginia!
Best wishes this year at VCU, Matt!

I am always behind on blogging, but I plan to catch up some this week. Rachel is a 2015 Chatham High senior and one of my 2015 senior models! Here are a few favorites from her downtown Danville senior session!
Best wishes for your senior year, Rachel!

I am behind on blogging, so there are tons of new photo posts on the way! I can't wait to share my most recent senior photo sessions with you!
Here are a few teasers to hold you over:)

To say that we had a blast on this session would be an understatement...the only thing I would have changed would have been to start early to be able to enjoy it longer and get even more awesome photos! I wanted to get my senior model team together again and have some fun. They were pretty thrilled with the Americana theme I chose. They did a FABULOUS job pulling their outfits together! Enjoy a few favorites from the session!

Ohhhh and choosing a song that fit just right seemed impossible. But I like the way the video turned out:) I have such a great group of seniors...way better than Kenny makes out American Kids to be! Sure, they know how to have a good time though! I seriously would take in any of these seniors as my own.
If you're looking to book your senior photos with me, please DO NOT wait! Slots are filling up...I still have a few for summer, but Fall is almost full! I look forward to hearing from you!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting Brandon Meadows...again! We had an awesome shoot last year (when I was pregnant with Ellie), so it was nice to shoot again and not be out of breath! LOL! We met up hoping to snag some awesome sunset images, but the storms had other plans. Even though we didn't get some of what we wanted, I am still stoked about the way these turned out. Brandon shared his edgy vision with me and I think we were able to get just that! Of course I'm a sucker for sunflare and fields, so we started off with those vibes and moved on into the edgier stuff:)
I hope yall enjoy a few of my favorites!

Brandon definitely seems to be going places! He is headed to Nashville soon to hopefully snag a record deal, so these images will be used for his demo album! Thanks Brandon for having me shoot you again. I look forward to keeping up with your travels!

Maddy is a 2014 senior at GW High School. We had a fabulous senior photo session yesterday and I just had to share a few! Enjoy!

Oh my goodness? Could she seriously be anymore beautiful?! I absolutely loved shooting you, Maddy!
Summer is booking up! Don't wait until the last minute to contact me! -Megan
Kaleen's senior session was TONS of fun! She is so sweet...just like her Mom! They both were such a pleasure to work with! Kaleen had several different outfits that we incorporated into her downtown session back in September. Her smile is SO infectious...take a look at a few of my favorites and you'll see what I mean!
Kaleen, you were such a joy to work with! Thanks for choosing me as your senior photographer!
Now booking summer/fall 2014! Don't wait! Slots are limited and definitely booking up fast!

Teresa is someone that most of you all are familiar with. If you don't know her personally, you have heard about her through the media and about her multiple fights with cancer (ewing sarcoma). Teresa's battle began when she was 19. A rare form of cancer has plagued her body on and off ever since. She is 23 now and I'm happy to have gotten to know her and her family over the past few years. Teresa was my assistant before this last round of treatment began. She is too weak most days to even consider helping on sessions, not to mention a little more vulnerable to germs I'm sure. I have certainly missed having her with me! She enjoys my photo sessions just as much as I do!
I asked Teresa if I could shoot some photos of her back in the summer before she began another round of treatment. Her hair was growing back and I wanted to show her strength through photos...she is by far the strongest person that I know. She is always thinking positive and never seems to let anything get her down! I was hesitant about asking her to do these, but to my surprise she was totally on board!
I wanted to show her beautiful smile and gorgeous personality in these photos...
To me, Teresa is strong. She's a FIGHTER. She's a SURVIVOR.
Teresa never quits. She PERSEVERES. She FIGHTS BACK.
But I can't help but wonder sometimes if she has her demons...those deep down inside that tell her she just won't win this time. Those that tell her this is a long shot. Mercy, I would hope not, but aren't we all human? Don't we all have our doubts? If I were Teresa, would I be able to be as strong as she is? FIGHT as well as she does? SURVIVE like she does? If I were Teresa, how I would view myself and my battle? With uncertainty? With doubts?
I pray that Teresa doesn't have those feelings. I pray that Teresa places her full trust in the Lord and that she truly believes that HE is doing what is best for her. Teresa has had more than her fair share of challenges, but through it all, look at all the lives she has touched. Look at them all! She has shown so many people what strength is and what determination is.
This weekend, there was a local blood drive in honor of Teresa, as well as Claire, a young baby girl fighting leukemia. There was a great turnout and the local media can tell you all about that HERE.
Teresa is still fighting her battles and covets your prayers. She has an amazing family that supports her 125% but I'm sure still loves to know that others are thinking of her.
I have this photo (below) on my desk of Teresa and I. We have shared some fun times together. We both look forward to doing it all again soon!
Teresa, I thank you so much for letting me photograph you. You are an inspiration to me and a true FIGHTER. The Lord will bless you!

This session was so much fun! Lindsay and Corey are 2014 MBP Senior Models and were perfect for this shoot. We got some great shots despite the overcast weather...I'm glad we went on with the session though because it rained for like a week after we did this shoot! The flower crowns were made by yours truly:)
Here are a few of my favorites from this session:
This was the only shot that the sun peeked out for...
This one just takes my breath away...
Pretty Lindsay...
This one is my fave of her...
Lovely Corey...

Yesterday I spent the evening shooting Brandon Meadows...many of you locals know how musically talented he is. I was excited to work with Brandon to get shots for him to use for shows and flyers and to send out to potential bookings. We had such a nice day for photos...we were so happy to not be freezing! Brandon had 2 different guitars and several outfits, so we shot away!
Enjoy a few of my favorites!
Thanks Brandon for having me shoot you! I hope you love them so far;)

So, my husband, son, and I went over to a friends house for a Super Bowl party last night. I didn't really care who won the game...our teams weren't playing so it was just whatever. Although, we would have rather seen the 49ers pull off the win! With that said, many of us just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and half-time show. I'm not really up for discussing the half-time show, so let's talk commercials!!
My number one fave was this one: Audi prom
I don't know about you, but if I were her, I would have left with him;) That took guts!
My inner dork came out for this one...I thought it was funny, LOL: Oreo Library Fight
This one seems to be a hit with pretty much everyone...I thought that it was rather funny...
Then there were those that tugged at your heartstrings...
This one def had some beautiful photography: Dodge: God made a farmer
And who doesn't love the Budweiser Clydesdales?! I always love these...
So which was your favorite? Feel free to comment below!
