Melissa & Jason's Fall Anniversary Shoot
Melissa & Jason celebrated their anniversary by having a photo shoot. I met Melissa at Maplewood Golf course, and every single time I am around her she has me giggling like a crazy woman. So you know that we were both laughing throughout their entire shoot! How fitting that we captured them at Maplewood Golf Course, they got all the pretty fall colors!
Sierra & Zach with their Dog
I photographed Sierra & Zach a year ago at Whitetail Tree Farm and loved working with the two of them, so when they reached out about another round of photos and told me they were bringing their doggy, I was so excited!
Kalley Family Photos in Downtown Muncie with Kyla Jo Photography
I LOVE capturing this adorable family! They are so full of creativity and spunk and I love watching them grow!
I photographed Avery for the first time a year ago for her 2 year photos, Abrahm, Amiya, Alexa, & Avery this past Easter in the studio, Abrahm's 6 month photos, and Avery's 3 year photos just a couple of weeks ago.
I finally got the opportunity to capture the entire family all at once. Thank you guys for allowing me to document your family along the way!
Leah & Devin Wedding Reception
Get you a man that looks at you like Devin looks at Leah! I loved being able to capture Leah & Devin’s second wedding reception. It poured rain on my drive there and snowed about 2 inches on my way home. Somewhere in between Indiana’s dramatic weather, we got about 40 minutes to capture family, bridal, and couple portraits outside! The Cope Environmental Center was such a modern and unique venue, I loved the modern architecture and the natural light pouring in from outside. These two are so sweet and laid back, and have so much love for one another. Here is a large sneak peek of their family portraits, couple portraits, and a few details from their wedding reception.
Locations For Sessions
This blog post is for those of you who have scheduled a session with Kyla Jo Photography and now you are wondering, “Where should we have our session?”
These are some of the locations in Indiana and around Muncie that are some of my favorites. I will include reasons why I love these spots and which spots are best for families, seniors, pets, newborns, maternity, couples, and children sessions.
Cheyenne & Randy at Whitetail Tree Farm
OH MY WORD! Where do I begin, this is the only session this year that I have captured in the snow and I am in love! We could not feel our fingers after being out in the snow for about 30 minutes, but it was so worth it! Cheyenne and Randy were sooooo sweet to work with, I had such a great time with this married couple. I hope that I get to work with Cheyenne and Randy again in the future, because it was such a joy capturing them!
Ashlee, Jon, Lauren, Logan, Alaina, & Asher at Whitetail Tree Farm
I got to capture this blended family and they were stinking adorable! Ashlee, Jon, Lauren, Logan, Alaina, & Asher all met me at Whitetail Tree Farm where we captured their family photos! Asher had me giggling the entire time with his silly facial expressions and laughs. They were such a sweet family to work with and I hope to capture their family again in the future!
Sierra & Zach at Whitetail Tree Farm
These two were so cuddly and it definitely showed throughout their photos and especially in their sneak peek! I may actually have just chosen my favorites and those are all of them cuddling… Woops! Seriously, Sierra and Zach were so sweet, Zach did not complain once, I guess he was getting to kiss and hug on his adorable girlfriend. These two were so much fun to work with, I can not wait to share more from their session!
Takeisha and Nick Wedding // October 7, 2018
Takeisha & Nick are long standing clients who I have captured during all parts of their relationship, so it was fitting to capture their special day! Their day was absolutely perfect, her unique and beautiful wedding gown, all of the little details, the fall decor, their adorable son, the games they played on the dance floor, and the love this couple shares for one another. Thank you Nick and Takeisha for allowing me to be a part of your special day!
Kiley and Coty Wedding // 9.29.18
Oh where do I start!?! Kiley & Coty’s wedding was absolutely perfect! The couple were so sweet, so in love, and so much fun to work with all day! The family and their bridal party were so sweet and so helpful and kept the dance floor full all night! The groom’s mother decorated the ceremony arbor with floral that had looked like a professional florist’s work! The bride’s father hosted the entire event at his gorgeous home. Years ago he had acquired a bottle of Crown Royal that was from the year he was born and told everyone he wouldn’t open it until his daughter’s wedding, the entire bridal party and family enjoyed a shot or two together after his toast to the bride and groom. I am so happy that I got the chance to capture this beautiful wedding and help preserve memories from their very special day!
Elyssa & James // Maternity Session
Oh my word! Where do I start with this adorable unique little family? So James and Elyssa travel all over the place with the fair with their two little girls! Do you know how much respect I have for this family, I can’t imagine having two little girls within 10 months of each other and expecting a third while TRAVELING 6 months of out of the year!
It rained and rained this past week and I thought we were going to catch a small break from the pouring rain… but I was wrong. I messaged Elyssa and told her I would understand if she wanted to reschedule, I was expecting a “Yes I will need to reschedule to a time when its not pouring!” But instead I got a “We might as well go for it!” (I was so excited!)
We got to the White river and it was just sprinkling, so we got out and started our photo session under a tree and then headed down to the river. As soon as we got down to the water it started raining even harder, we then headed across the street to a small park, it of course started raining harder. Elyssa, James, nor the two kids ever complained. I kept apologizing that it was raining so hard and she could have cared less! They all rocked this session and it was honestly so sweet and romantic, with the two cuddling up to each other in the rain, dancing with each other, and watching the two kiddos play and splash in the rain puddles. I am so excited to share a few photos from this perfect session! Thank you Elyssa & James for being AMAZING clients and just going with the flow!

Andrea, Alex, & Alayna Family Session // Whitetail Tree Farms
I had met Andrea and her daughter Alayna at a craft bazaar, where I had a photo booth set up at, I had mentioned that Alayna was a spitting image of Andrea (but seriously they are twins). The three of them, Andrea's parents and sister also attended the photo session. They were all so easy to work with and the session went so smoothly. I look forward to working with this sweet family again in the near future!

Ashley & Zach Meadows were such a sweet couple, they were fun to work with and so naturally in love with each other. I am so happy they chose me to capture a mini session of the two of them this winter.
Winter Minis With The Christmas Trees // Heather, Bradley, & Malachi
This mini session had me laughing the entire time, from the little energetic yorkie (Bella) to Malachi laughing and smiling the ENTIRE session! Bradley, Heather, and Malachi were a joy to work with and I look forward to capturing their adorable little family again in the future!
Family Session At Whitetail Tree Farms // Hodges Family
The Hodges were troopers, even though their little one was shivering by the end of the session, they did amazing in the 30 degree weather. I loved working with these three, thank you to the Hodge family for choosing me for your family session! Here is just a small sneak peek, I look forward to photographing your family again (Hopefully when it's warmer)!
