I had what I believe was the same problem recently. You need to skip the using statement around the creation of your MemoryStream. Creating a bitmap keeps a reference to the stream that created it. You can read about it on MSDN.

private static Bitmap LoadImageFromBytes(byte[] bytes)
{
    var imageStream = new MemoryStream(bytes))
    var image = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromStream(imageStream);
    return image;
}
