Senior Sunday is here. 🤍 Meet Ben.

Ben attends Freestate, sings in Chamber Choir, and is on his way to college with one goal in mind: medical school. His friends describe him as a big goofy guy. One session with him and you’ll understand why that is the best compliment.

We shot across three of my favorite Lawrence spots — KU Campus, Downtown, and the Arboretum. He brought three looks that were completely him: clean white tee with jeans, a sharp purple and black polo, and a green checkered button-up layered under a tan sweater. Every single outfit felt natural and easy.

And then I had him throw leaves in the air. He said it was his favorite moment of the entire session.

That is what I am always chasing. Not just great photos. The real, unplanned, laughing-at-yourself moment that makes the whole thing feel worth it.

If you are worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera or not knowing what to wear, I promise that is normal. I send a prep guide before your session and guide every pose so you never have to figure it out on your own. You just show up. I handle the rest.

Before you choose a senior photographer, swipe through this. 👇

Parents want to know: Will she feel comfortable? Will the photos look like her, not someone else? Is this worth the investment?

Seniors want to know: What do I wear? Will I look awkward? What if I hate how I look?

Both are fair questions. Here is exactly how the MBP senior experience answers them.

Every session includes a personalized what-to-wear guide so outfit stress disappears before session day. Pro hair and makeup is included so your senior shows up feeling her best with a natural finish that photographs beautifully. I guide every pose from start to finish so nothing feels forced. And about two weeks after your session, we sit down together at your Gallery Reveal and Purchasing appointment so you choose your favorites with confidence and never feel left guessing.

The goal is simple: for your senior to feel celebrated and for you to feel like everything is handled.

You deserve senior photos where your teen feels confident and walks away looking like themselves. 🤍

"She makes you feel so confident when taking photos even if you don't know what to do." — Abby, Class of 2026

You are not just booking a photographer. You are investing in artwork that will be on your walls for years. You want it handled, organized, and worth every penny.

Here is exactly what that looks like when you book with Megan Bowers Photography: You worry about outfits being a mess. So your senior receives a personalized what-to-wear guide with color palettes and outfit combinations that photograph beautifully — so they show up with a plan, not a panic.

You worry about your teen looking stiff or awkward. So I use simple movement prompts and step-by-step posing direction the entire session so nothing feels forced and every image looks natural and real.

You worry about hair and makeup looking overdone. So professional hair and makeup by senior-trained artists using long-wear products is included, so your teen looks polished and like themselves, not like someone else.

You worry about being overwhelmed when it comes to ordering. So two weeks after the session we meet for a guided Gallery Reveal appointment where I walk you through your images, help you pick your favorites, and design your albums, wall art, and prints together. No guessing. No confusion. No digital dump.

You leave with keepsakes that actually fit your home and your family.

Summer and fall 2026 spots are open now and only a limited number of sessions are available each year.

Senior pricing is often confusing, and that is not fair to families trying to make a real decision. 📸

Before you compare prices, ask what is actually included so you can make a fair choice for your senior.

Are digital files included or do you buy them separately at the end? Is hair and makeup extra? Does your senior get a prep guide, or are they figuring out outfits alone the night before? And if they feel awkward on camera or worried the photos will not look like them, is there a plan for that too?

At MBP, I price transparently so you know exactly what you are paying for before you ever book.

Every session includes a what-to-wear guide and styling consult so your senior arrives confident and prepared, professional hair and makeup by vetted artists using long-wear, skin-safe products so they still look like themselves, hands-on posing coaching from start to finish so they feel comfortable and actually enjoy the session, natural retouching so skin concerns are softened while they still look like them, a relaxed in-studio gallery reveal with no pressure and no surprise upgrades, and fully edited, print-ready digital files included from the start.

No guessing. No hidden fees. Just a fully handled experience your family will feel good about investing in.
I just posted a short video that breaks down senior pricing the way it should be explained, no guessing, no surprises. Watch it at the link in my bio to see exactly what is inside every session. 🎥

Senior portraits are a big deal. The stress leading up to them doesn't have to be.

If your daughter is worried about what to wear, how to look on camera, or just feeling like herself in photos, that's exactly what I help with.

Every MBP senior gets a personalized prep guide before their session. We build an outfit plan together. I walk her through what photographs well and what to skip. She gets a full session timeline so nothing feels like a surprise. And on shoot day, I coach her through every pose so she feels confident the whole time.

She shows up calm. She leaves with images your family will actually hang on the wall.

This is Episode 1 of my behind-the-scenes series showing what a session at MBP really looks like.

Class of 2027 sessions are open. Inquire via link in bio.

Nervous your senior photos will look like everyone else’s?

I get it. Most portraits feel stiff, over-edited, and forgettable. That is not what happens here.

I guide every pose so nothing feels awkward. I help with outfits and prep so you show up ready. And I edit with texture-preserving retouching so your skin still looks like skin, not plastic.

The result: bold, vivid portraits you will actually want to print and hang.

Senior Sunday. Meet Amelia - Class of 2026. đź–¤

Worried your senior photos won’t actually feel like you?

That is the most common thing I hear. And it is exactly what we set out to fix.

Amelia is eclectic, a little spooky, and not the kind of person who fits in a box. So we built her session around that. I scouted locations that matched her energy, the KU gardens, Baker Wetlands, moody corners of Lawrence that actually feel like her. I coached her through every pose and expression with simple movement prompts and live examples so nothing felt forced or stiff. Before we even picked up a camera, she had a prep guide in hand so she walked in ready, not stressed about any of it.

The result? Images that look like Amelia showed up as herself. Not a polished-down version. Not a posed, uncomfortable version. Just her.

At the Gallery Reveal and Purchasing Appointment, we went through her favorites together so she never had to sort through hundreds of similar shots on her own.

That is the whole point of this.

Class of 2027, your session starts with a short, no-pressure conversation. Limited summer spots are available. Link in bio to book. đź–¤

I plan custom locations for your senior portrait session so her photos feel like her and you do not have to worry about the logistics.

Where you shoot sets the entire tone. The mood, the colors, the light, and how she feels in front of the camera all start with the location. That is why we do not just show up anywhere.

If you are worried she will feel awkward, will not know what to wear, or that the photos will look like everyone else, we have a plan for that.

Every MBP senior portrait session includes a one-on-one location consult to learn her style, scouting at the best time for golden hour light, a photo-filled location guide with outfit suggestions matched to each spot, and a mapped shoot day plan so nothing is left to chance. You show up calm and confident knowing exactly what to expect.

Lawrence has incredible spots. Downtown, KU campus, golden fields, the Arboretum. We scout the ones that were made for her and plan every detail around them so she looks natural, relaxed, and like herself.

Custom senior portraits that actually feel like her. Not a template. Not what everyone else is doing.

If you are worried about what to wear, whether she will feel awkward on camera, or if the photos will really feel like her, I have got you covered.

Every MBP senior portrait session includes a one-on-one style planning call 1 to 2 weeks before the shoot so we choose looks that reflect who she is. She also gets a personalized what-to-wear guide and outfit checklist so there is zero last minute stress. On shoot day I guide her pose by pose with natural prompts so she always looks comfortable and herself. Professional retouching is included so she looks like the best version of herself.

Worried about acne, skin concerns, or wasting the investment on photos that do not feel like her? Those are exactly the things we plan around before we ever pick up a camera. You will walk away with a finished gallery of naturally retouched images you will be proud to share and print.

Boho romantic. Bold and editorial. Edgy and dramatic. Western boho. Whatever her style is, we design the entire session around it.

Save this post and share it with your senior. Then tap the link in bio to schedule her style planning call.

Meet Gage, Class of 2026.

A lot of senior guys are nervous about being in front of the camera. They do not know how to pose, they do not know what to wear, and they definitely do not know what to do with their hands. Gage came in and told me straight up he needed direction, and that is exactly what every session includes.

I guide your senior through every shot with clear, simple prompts so nothing feels forced or awkward. We built Gage's session around what matters most to him: Clinton Lake, his car, and the outdoors. He left with a gallery that actually looks like him.

That is what every senior deserves.

Class of 2027 parents, now is the time to get on the calendar. The best summer dates fill quickly. Link in bio to book.
