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!

Senior Portraits | Danville, Virginia Senior Photography

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!

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

Unique Senior Portraits | Danville, Virginia Photography

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...

September Recap | Danville, Virginia Photographer

I have had the opportunity to shoot some awesome seniors this month! I wanted to share a few of my favorites, which include seniors from Dan River High school, Altavista Combined School, and Chatham High School. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such amazing young women!

Meet Caitlin, a 2015 Dan River High senior:

Meet Haley, a 2015 homeschool senior:

Meet Kelsey, a 2015 Dan River High senior:

Meet Taylor, a 2015 Altavista Combined School senior:

Meet Kelsie, a 2015 Chatham High senior:

I also had the opportunity to shoot a little "for myself" this month. I had been planning an Audrey Hepburn styled session for a while, and it all finally came together! My junior model Emmalee took my ideas and ran with them:) I'd say it all came together rather well!

And I think this one is my fave from that session:

Wow, what a GORGEOUS bunch of young ladies!! I can't wait to share more from these sessions with you in their own personal blogs:)

Kaitlyn | Headshots | Danville, Virginia Photographer

Kaitlyn asked me to shoot some headshots of her, and of course I'm more than happy to help out my senior models:) We enjoyed an evening in Chatham shooting them! Here are a few of my favorites from the day...and if you know me, you know that I can't just shoot only headshots:)

Unfortunately, Kaitlyn was in a car accident that kept her away during my Americana model session. So we had to do a few shots for that too:)

Isn't she gorgeous?!

Senior Style Guide Shootout | Richmond, Virginia

So last month, I got to work with Vickie Black, the owner of Jeremy & Vickie Photographers as well as Senior Style Guide, and Kristie Bradley of Kristie Bradley Photography! Together we led a shootout/portfolio build for senior photographers. It was so much fun! The weather was not too hot, as I had expected, and the attendees were so excited to learn from us! They came from areas in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina! We started things off with a one hour Q&A, where the attendees were able to ask us anything they wanted to! Then the real fun began with shooting 4 teen/senior models with different styles in various areas of downtown Richmond. Kristie provided the models for us, and they were absolutely amazing! I spent most of my time helping the attendees get their shots, but here are a couple of shots that I managed to squeeze in:)

We all had such a great time! You can view more photos on Instagram via the #ssgshootoutva, including my behind the scenes photos! There is also a video recap HERE!

Americana | 2015 Senior Model Team | Danville, Virginia Photographer

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!

Song credit: "American Kids" by Kenny Chesney

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!
