Lexi Wapahani Senior - Senior Spokesmodel Team

Lexi Morrow

2021 Senior

Lexi is one of my senior spokesmodel girls! I have loved capturing her senior photos through out her entire senior year. After getting to know her at the meet and greet session, then shooting our styled shoot together all day, I got to shoot her 2 hour senior session at several locations.

Being on the senior spokesmodel team, each girl gets 3-4 times the amount of normal senior photos for the same price! The senior spokesmodel team is for seniors in Indiana, who love to have fun and want lots of photos of their senior year.

Each senior gets:

1. Headshots at the Meet And Greet

2. Photos at the styled shoot

3. Their own 2 hour Senior Session

4. Cap and Gown photos

Senior Spokesmodel Team Applications will be opening in the next couple of months! Keep an eye on my social media for dates and information.

Mallory's Senior Session - Senior Spokesmodel Team

Mallory Summers

Wapahani 2021 Senior

Mallory is one of my senior spokesmodel girls and I loved being able to spend a little extra time with her during her senior year. From our first meet and greet headshot session, her 2 hour senior session, and then our styled shoot together last fall. We only have one more shoot together for her cap and gown shoot, I really am going to miss my senior spokesmodel girls after this spring.

Abigail's Senior Photos - Graffiti Style

Abigail was such a sweet senior to work with. We started in nature in the woods and then headed to the river in downtown muncie. While we were shooting we both saw this SWEET looking graffiti wall. She had told me she was interested in art and it was absolutely perfect for her and her style. I have 30 minutes left to shoot with her in a couple of weeks and then I have family photos booked with her and her family in December. I can’t wait to shoot with her again!

Sierra's Fall Soccer Senior Session

Sierra booked just a day after her bff Lexi, Sierra is also a senior spokesmodel girl on my team! She is such a sweet human being, so quiet and laid back. We started her session, just the two of us at the nature area near the reservoir, headed down the road to Redtail Conservatory, and then ended at the Wapahani soccer field. By the end of her session it was starting to drizzle and we were all freezing, so we decided to finish her senior session later this month at her last location. Sierra brought her lettermen’s jacket, soccer ball, uniform, and cleats for some shots to showcase her passion for soccer.

Lexi's Fall Senior Session with Her Jeep Wrangler

Lexi, one of my senior spokesmodel girls had her senior session this fall and she brought her Jeep Wrangler along. I love when seniors incorporate something special and unique to them such as a vehicle, sport they play, pet, or hobby. We started at the nature area near the reservoir, headed to the river in downtown for photos along the water and ended at the Craddock Nature Preserve in her gorgeous pink dress. Her mom and bff Sierra (another senior spokesmodel girl I photographed just a day later) tagged along and assisted in carrying her outfits and making us both laugh.

Senior Spokesmodel Styled Shoot: BOHO PARTY IN THE WOODS

Last Sunday was such a blast! I photographed my 6 beautiful 2021 senior spokesmodels for their Senior Styled Shoot: BOHO PARTY IN THE WOODS. As a Senior Spokesmodel each girl receives: 1. A Welcome Session, 2. A Senior Spokesmodel Styled Shoot with Hair & Makeup, 3. Their very own 2 hour customized senior session, and 4. Cap and gown minis in the spring and so many more perks! These girls are not only beautiful, they are smart, kind, funny, talented, hardworking, outgoing, bubbly and involved in their communities. I am so happy to have each and every girl as a part of my senior spokesmodel team!

We spent the entire day at the studio for hair and makeup. Kayla Butler styled their hair with their favorite Boho styles (lots of braids and fun curls). Andrea Connelly did their makeup, with natural colors to showcase their true beauty. MY VENDORS WERE AMAZING to work with! While the girls got all dolled up, I captured behind the scene photos of each of them and we jammed out to music. It couldn’t have went better! After showing up at 8:45 that morning finishing my set up from the day before, the girls started showing up at 10 am and hair and makeup started! We finished getting ready in the studio at 4:30 and headed out to the woods on golf carts. The girls faces lit up when they saw the styled shoot set up for the very first time! The shoot included a Belle tent, tall colorful candles, vintage crystal colorful glasses, tons of colorful blankets and pillows, handmade bouquets recycled from a wedding, my fave Target egg chair, an old ladder, and lots of other accessories to make up a boho vibe. While organizing and putting together the styled shoot, I had sent the girls dream boards with inspiration for dresses, hair, makeup, and to give the girls an idea of what the shoot and theme would look like (but never showed them the tent until the day of, it was such a great surprise for them!)

I also had a videographer and photographer there to capture behind the scenes photos for me to share on my website and social media to show future seniors what they have to look forward to from the Kyla Jo Photography Senior Spokesmodel Team. Our videographer, Mikayla Fields with Vivid Visions Videography (who is super sweet and talented!) and our photographer: Bella Roark Photography (who second shoots with me at weddings, and I absolutely appreciate and adore!) both did an amazing job capturing the girls and I working together to create MAGICAL PHOTOS and all the fun behind the scenes shots!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY VENDORS! You are all so appreciated and did an amazing job, I loved working with ALL of you AMAZING & TALENTED WOMEN!

Magical Flower Field Shoot with Blair

GUYS! I can't tell you how many times during this shoot I giggled and said, "OH MY WORD BLAIR!" Can you believe this location is a spot I have driven by 10,000+ times in my life. I never thought about it being such a magical location until about a month ago. As a photographer I am always scouting out new locations and exploring new spots for my clients. Blair is one of my senior spokesmodels and did ABSOLUTELY amazing throughout the entire shoot. These are just some highlights, there are soooo many more just as magical as these!

I may be 26 but you never are too old to ask for your mommas help! I had my momma, Jennifer come along and shoot some behind the scenes shots for me to share on social media with everyone. As a photographer I don't get many photos of me behind the camera, so these photos and videos mean the absolute world to me. (Thanks mom!)

If anyone is wondering where all of her cute outfits are from, Blair is a brand ambassador for The Wispy Pine Boutique! Feel free to follow their page and check out all of their adorable outfits and accessories.

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!"

Tips on Booking Your Senior Session and a Look into Hanna Padget's Session

Going back through my past sessions during quarantine 2020 and sharing some sessions that may not have gotten shared during busy seasons. This one is Hanna, she graduated from Delta High School. We did a 2 location session together with 3 outfits. We started at Tuhey park in Muncie, Indiana and then headed to Maplewood Golf Course. I brought my drone out at the end and got a handful of shots of her laying in the woods in tall grass. It was such a fun session together!

Some tips for scheduling your senior session:

1. When booking your session with me, evening times are best for lighting and coloring of your skin! The closer to sunset the more gorgeous tones we will get in your images.

2. Bring multiple outfits, bring a fun dress that is flowy, a dressy shirt and jeans, and then something that is your go to outfits such as a jean jacket and boots or your favorite band tee.

3. Locations are always changing throughout the seasons, so the same location may look different in the fall than it does in the spring. I will ask you if you have a specific location in mind but if you don’t then I ask you your style and what look you are going for and then I will list off a variation of locations depending on you and what you are looking for.

4. If you are wanting a session in the fall, BOOK EARLY! Fall time weekends book up super fast and super early. Spring time is usually more open as well as winter months of course. Summer depends on how many weddings I have. Just shoot me a message and we can decide how early you should book depending on when you are wanting your session.

5. How too book? Once we talk, I will shoot you a link to fill out about yourself and your tastes. I will then shoot you a link to book your session, this will be a 50% booking deposit to save your date and book your session. The remainder of the session price will be due the day of your session.

6. Delivery: You will receive a sneak peek within a week of your session and then the remainder of your session within a month on an online gallery with a download code to download all of your photos.

7. Printing: You are welcome to download all of your photos and print where you choose, but I do offer PROFESSIONAL prints that you can order directly from your online gallery. I offer high quality photo albums, prints, and super durable canvases in lots of sizes.

8. Flash drives: You have the option to add a flash drive to your package. Flash drives are $50 and come in a wooden box with a fancy crystal and wooden flash drive inside with all of your high resolution images to keep forever!
