SWEET Nora Turns 1
Nora turns 1! I photographed Rayni & Kevin Hannan's maternity photos over a year ago and got to meet sweet Yogi (who, if you remember took a poop during their photos and it was hilarious!) 😂 I then captured this sweet little one in the hospital for her fresh-48 session, her newborn photos in the studio, and now her 1 year photos. SHE IS THE SWEETEST THING! I am so happy that Yogi got to come to her session and participate at the end of her "donut smash". I can't wait to share some of their family photos here soon.

Haley & Tyler Stockton's Wedding at The Carriage House of Yorktown
Haley & Tyler may not have gotten married in the Bahamas as their invites showed (thanks Corona), but I am pretty sure The Carriage House of Yorktown made their day just as special. I loved being able to capture these two, their bridal party, and all of their family. (Part one of their Wedding Preview, because I may have went a little over board with editing their preview photos! Be on the lookout for family and bridal party photos later this morning.) I am so glad that I got to meet these two super sweet people and photograph their special day.

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.

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."

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!"
Extended Family Photo Session At Minnetrista in Muncie, Indiana
I met Mariah and her husband about 6 years ago, photographed them one other time, and even dog sat for their big fluffy doggo. I was so excited when she booked me for an extended family session. Due to weather and corona, their session got pushed back quite a bit but we finally got their session booked and it was such a beautiful day!

I had a blast at this BFF Session with Anastasia & her friends Ava, Brielle, Katie, Madison, and Meghan. It's hard to believe but I found this location within a minute from my house.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The Burch Family at Whitetail Tree Farm
I captured this sweet family a couple of weeks ago at Whitetail Tree Farm and had such a fun time working with all of them! Before all of the craziness struck and we were all stuck inside our houses, I am so glad that I got to capture this family's love for one another.

Rhys: 4 Month Studio Photos
Rhys turned 4 months old!
To be honest, I don't photograph a lot of babies between the age of newborn and 6 months old. BUT this session with Rhys, made me want to photograph all of the 4 month olds! His mom and dad brought the CUTEST little bonnets and stockings to his session, I ordered this gorgeous Moses basket, and he was the most perfect little model.

Danielle and Drake's Wedding At The Barn at Cottonwood with Kyla Jo Photography
Danielle & Drake were married on October 5, 2019 at The Barn at Cottonwood in Parker City, Indiana. They are high school sweethearts and had the two most adorable doggies who were included on their special day. Their bridal party was so much fun to photograph and a huge part of their day. I think I laughed and smiled more at their reception than I ever have before, the dance floor was full almost the entire time! Thank you Danielle & Drake for having me capture your wedding day, I might have went a little over board with your preview! Woops!

Ariel & Matthew's Wedding Day at Meg's Country Celebrations with Kyla Jo Photography
Ariel & Matthew Brown's wedding was held at Meg's Country Celebrations last Sunday and the rain did not stop us from capturing gorgeous photos of their special day. They decided to move their ceremony inside the barn, but as soon as it was over the rain cleared up for beautiful photos. The two wore their Vans on their feet and a smile on their face the entire day. They kissed a million times and it made me smile each time, seeing their love for one another so apparent! So many special dances were held in that barn during their reception and Baby Shark was even played for all of the little ones! Congratulations to Ariel and Matthew on your wedding, and thank you for having me capture it!

I held my first year of Easter minis in the studio, and am so happy with how my backdrop turned out. I used a Fancy Fabrics Floor mat, Hobby Lobby faux Grass that I cut in half, a Michael’s Carrot Banner, and Hobby Lobby greenery, 2 moss bunnies, and some carrots from Hobby Lobby as well. A couple of the kids also held my Boyd’s Bear stuffed bunny that I use for my newborns.
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.
