Kelsie Morris Late Fall Maternity Photos

Kelsie was such a sweet and beautiful mom! She wanted outdoor photos with her husband and then some studio silhouette photos in a lace gown that I provided, and her little black dress. She rocked the “Pinterest pony tail” and all of her gorgeous angles and curves. She brought her ultrasound, letter board, and some cute onesies for photos. I am so glad that I could work with these two and capture their maternity photos, even though it was a bit chilly you would never know with that beautiful smile!

Ariel & Matthew Maternity Photos

I photographed Ariel Hart-Brown & Matthew's engagement photos, their wedding, and now their maternity photos. She was absolutely GLOWING and I was so excited to get these photos home, edited, and deliver them! These two are so sweet, he carried her dress, fixed her hair, and cuddled her throughout their entire session. I can't wait to photograph your little boy! Thanks for having me capture your life together.

Autumn, Jarrod, & Brantley - Maternity & 18 Month Old Session

GUYS, how stinking cute is this family of soon to be 4!
This is the farthest along in pregnancy that I have captured maternity photos, to having to reschedule due to corona. This is the third time that I have photographed on Jerrod's parent's property, and it blows me away every time! I always find a new spot that is absolutely gorgeous. I can not wait to meet baby Emma and capture this family again.

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!

I could not stop smiling the entire time I was photographing and editing this maternity session! Kelsey & Nick Vollmar already have one adorable kiddo (Wyatt) and I can not wait to meet their second little boy here in no time!

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!

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!

Bridget's Maternity Photos with Daughter

Maternity photos usually take place outdoors, but yesterday I had the chance to capture Bridget, her baby bump, and her daughter Kennedy in the studio! It has been so cold and snowy outside, so we decided to shoot indoors, and I was so happy that we chose to! Both Bridget and her daughter were gorgeous in their flowy dresses and floral crowns.

Ruthie // Senior

I absolutely loved capturing Ruthie’s senior photos! She was super sweet and so mature. She brought her illustrated Harry Potter book with her to her session and it made my day! We talked about how we had both read all of the books, and she showed me some of the illustrations in her gorgeous hardback book. She was like Alice in Wonderland spinning and smiling through the trees, so whimsical and playful.

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!
