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.
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 my favorites or that I have shot at before. I will include reasons why I love these spots and which spots are best for families, seniors, pets, newborns, maternity, couples, and children sessions.
Whitetail Tree Farms
Whitetail Tree Farms is perfect for any winter session, when all of the trees are dead and there is not much color, the pine trees always make a gorgeous backdrop. During the fall, there are even more places to shoot with bright yellow trees, fence lines, and a cute pathway surrounded by trees.
Minnetrista Gardens
Minnetrista requires photographers to have a yearly pass to be able to shoot on their grounds, and I have one! YAY! Minnetrista is gorgeous in the spring with bright flowers and greenery everywhere. Minnetrista is great for families, with a simplistic nature feel, there are surrounding buildings that can be used as backdrops as well.
Reservoir
The reservoir has tons of locations, but I have found one that is gorgeous in the evening just before sunset! The trees are surrounding you, the water in the background, and the road is close by for some fun dipping and dancing shots! I would suggest this location in the evening just before sunset for the best lighting. If you are a little adventurous we can jump in the reservoir and capture some playful shots.
White River Water Fall & Park
If you are wanting to stick close to downtown Muncie, but want a little nature included in your session, this is the perfect classic spot. With a path lined with green shrubbery and an old building with steps for the family. Just across the road is Whiteriver, where shooting in the evening or on an overcast day is perfect. I have shot in the sun, pouring rain, cold and hot weather here at the park and I just love all of the outcomes!
Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory
This botanical garden is everything you could ever want for a senior session. Even though it is a little bit of a drive from Muncie Indiana, it is totally worth it! It is located in Fort Wayne, and has the most beautiful lighting and backdrops. I could spend hourssss here capturing your photos! If you are interested in a session here, there is a small travel fee, but like I said it is SO WORTH IT! Check out the website and all of the different gardens they offer.
Maplewood Golf Course (Location of Studio)
Maplewood is near and dear to my heart, as my studio is located just upstairs above the pro shop! Maplewood is perfect in the fall, with colors everywhere. Currently there is a huge tree that fell last year, we were all so sad, butttttt it makes for a really fun photo prop. There is also a tall grassy area for spring and summer shoots in the back of the course, your kids will love riding in the golf carts to get there! Of you are interested in getting a mixture of studio photos and outdoor photos, this is the perfect location for you.
Ball State University Quad
Ball State is pretty year round, with the old buildings and huge doorways. I usually meet at the art museum and go from there. The stair case is huge and is perfect for that large family photo, you have been wanting for years. Just around the building is a line of pine trees, that make for a great background in your family groupings or senior photos. I am very comfortable with campus (as a BSU Alumni) and know of other spots, such as the green house, fountain, village and a few others!
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!

Morgan & Brady // Associate Wedding
I got the chance to assist this gorgeous wedding this past winter for Kirsten Wray Photography, from the little details to the absolutely stunning bride! The bridal party was the largest bridal party I have ever worked with, a total of 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. We photographed, grouped, and arranged a total of 22 people, just in the bridal party! They were all a blast to work with, some even were Ball State graduates, like me.

My favorite parts of a wedding as a photographer are...
Watching the grooms face when the bride walks down the aisle towards him.
Listening and watching the father of the bride give his toast, as tears stream down my face behind the camera.
Photographing all of the small details such as the rings, decor, shoes, and jewelry.
Seeing the rings that the bride and groom choose, I think that the style of the ring says a lot about who they are as a couple and as individuals.
Of course tasting the food and cake!
Watching all of the drunk people dance at the end of the night (which makes me want to join in with them!)
Ashley & Zach // Couples Session
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 // Hailey, Harper & Dylan
Hailey & Dylan brought their adorable dog Harper for a mini session at Whitetail Tree Farm, and we captured so many amazing photos of the three of them! Harper had us all crying from laughing so hard, when she went to go running while on her leash and flipped on to her back, she just could not handle all the excitement of the photo session! I look forward to photographing this adorable family again in the future.

Gibby // Husky Border Collie Mix
Gibby is a Husky Border Collie mix who was rescued and then brought to the golf course to live a happy life, they adopted him and he is now known as the community golf course dog. He gets to roam the course in the evening and follow his dad around while he works. He is such a sweet dog, who loves cuddles at night and car rides during the day.
