Branding Headshots for PhotoFourteen LLC - Muncie, Indiana

I offered branding photo minis in the studio, and Rachel with PhotoFourteen LLC booked a session. I had such a great time talking all things photography with her.

Check out her cute red shoes, red glasses, and red lipstick! SO ON BRAND for her!

2021 Senior Spokesmodel Team

I'M SO EXCITED TO INTRODUCE my 2021 Senior Spokesmodel Team!
I am beyond excited to be working with these amazing senior girls. My Senior Spokesmodel Team each get their own custom 2 hour senior session, Meet & Greet Headshots, A Styled Shoot, and Cap and Gown photos in the spring. We had our Meet & Greet this past Sunday. All of the girls received headshots, we had food, played with the photo booth, jammed out to music, and tie-dyed shoes. I had so much fun getting to know the girls a little better and hang out with them all in the studio.

Here is a little bio that they each wrote about themselves for me to share:

Sophia Ireland: "I go to Wapahani High School and Amber's Beauty School. I am very passionate about hair, makeup, and fashion. I love this field of work because I love making others feel beautiful in their own skin. After graduation I plan on going to ball state and majoring in psychology, and then hopefully attending medical school for psychiatry. I'm very excited about joining the senior spokesmodel team and becoming closer with all of the other wonderful ladies on the team as well!

Mauriah Racer: "I'm a CNA at a nursing home and my job is what keeps me busy. After I graduate I plan to attend Ivy Tech and then transfer to Ball State University to get my masters in speech pathology. I love helping/taking care of people."

Blair Phillips: "Hi, my name is Blair Phillips! I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I'm a varsity cheerleader at Madison-Grant and show animals in 4-H. I look forward to being on the spokesmodel team so that I can be a good representation of Kyla Jo Photography!"

Lexi Morrow: "My favorite hobbies are reading and painting, and I love playing basketball for my school. After high school I want to go to college to be a Nurse Anesthetist. I'm super excited to be a part of the Kyla Jo Photography Spokesmodel Team and be around such a great group of girls and our awesome photographer!"

Mallory Summers: "I am excited to be on the Kyla Jo Photography Spokesmodel Team because I get to work with some of the sweetest people and have fun the whole time while doing it. I enjoy playing volleyball, spending lots of time with my friends, and traveling with my family."

Sierra Wulff: "My favorite things to do in my free time are hanging out with my friends and going camping, I also play soccer. After high school I want to go to college to enter the dental field. I love being a part of the Kyla Jo Photography Senior Spokesmodel Team and hanging out with the girls and Kyla!"

Mother Daughter Cake Smash

This was definitely a UNIQUE yet AWESOME session with Heather Crabtree and her pretty girls! I loved getting to work with them for a second time now and learn their individual personalities. They all have their birthdays within a month of each other, so they wanted to share a cake smash together, which is SUCH A COOL IDEA! I love the one of all of the girls digging into mom's cake, I feel like that is probably the most realistic "mom life" photo! They celebrated their dad, Travis who passed away by bringing a photo of him and also getting him a cake with his name on it. Such a sweet way to celebrate his life with his daughters!

Decker Turns 1!

Decker turns 1!
His parents are in for a lot of adventures, bruised knees, ripped pants, and bandaids raising this little boy.
He loved climbing on all of the props, standing on the rocking chair, and getting cake all over himself. He is such an adorable and sweet little boy and I loved working with him and his family to capture his 1 year photos in the studio.

Titus Needs a Loving Home

TITUS is a sweetheart who needs a good loving home! He is so gentle, loving, cuddly, playful, and well mannered! I got to spend a couple hours with him yesterday driving to and from the studio and capturing some adorable shots of him. He listened so well and took the treats so gently, he loved pouncing around playing fetch and was so careful letting me take and throw the toy again! I would take him home in a heart beat after just spending a short amount of time with him, but needs to be the only dog in his home. I promise he will fill your heart with love and affection!

Please help find Titus a home, he is currently at Wagglebottoms, where they have been fostering him for a while. Anyone who adopts him, will receive a FREE online gallery with all of his portraits to download and hang all around the house!

Aiden & Liam in the Studio

OH MY, Where do I start? These two boys were so stinking adorable! Aiden was only 1 month old, and was the cutest 10 pound+ newborn! His gorgeous blue eyes, kept looking right into the camera, and I could not have asked for more ( I did not even mind that he was awake the entire session! ) Liam, is going to be the best big brother to Aiden, I hope to see them back in the studio as they both grow!

Miss Sawyer Monroe's Newborn Photos

Introducing MISS SAWYER MONROE! 
I don't know if she could get any cuter! My heart is absolutely melting editing her newborn photos in the studio! 
I had the best assistants; momma Logan Niccum and auntie Tara Lee Berger!  Here is a little sneak peek at her photos. She was such a little busy bee for most of the session, but towards the end she wore herself out and we captured the sweetest photos of her.

First Birthday Session in the Studio with Quinn

Quinn came to see me in the photo studio for a second time, she is growing up so quick! Her mommy and daddy wanted to get some photos with the birthday girl as well, we used several of my new backdrops that I have available in the photo studio as well as a few different outfits for her! She was such a great little model, I loved capturing her personality and the simplicity of the family photos, with their white and navy outfits.

When booking family photos, it is best to wear neutrals in the studio so that you are the main focus and not your outfits. With my light grey walls and white bed, their shirts with the navy theme were the perfect choice!

If you are planning on a first birthday photo session, usually an hour to and hour and a half is the perfect length. You are welcome to bring a handful of outfits and a cake if you are interested. Cake smashes get a little messy, so be prepared to be handling a cake covered 1 year old! I have a collection of cake stands to choose between, as well as a number 1, 2, and 3, and so many props and blankets! Before your session I will ask you about your child, what their birthday theme is, what colors do you like and what colors do you want to avoid in their photo session. I will also show you the themed photo backdrops that I have available in the studio.

I love working with 1 year olds and capturing their unique personality at this age, if you are interested in booking a First Birthday Photo Session, feel free to contact me below!

Maggie - 9 Month Milestone

Maggie came in for her 9 month photos, and I fell in love with her dark hair and gorgeous eyes! She was cracking me up with all of her adorable facial expressions. I can not wait to work with her again for her 1st Birthday party and watch her dig into her cake! We even snuck a few Easter Photos into her session, she was the perfect little model!
