2020 Christmas Minis at The Barn at Providence Farm
My favorite year of Christmas minis yet! I can’t thank Katie from The Barn at Providence Farm enough for allowing all of my clients and I to photograph on your beautiful property. Everyone spoke so highly of your venue and how gorgeous it is. I have been shooting and editing constantly for the past few months (you know, cause it’s busy season) I finally had a few minutes to sit down and curate some of my favorites from my first round of minis (I will be sharing more from my second round here in the next couple of weeks.) I am so thankful for all of my clients who come back to me year after year and for my new clients who chose me to capture their family. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and I already can not wait for next years Christmas minis!

Blair's Senior Photos at Pendleton Falls Park
Oh Blair! I absolutely adore this sweet senior. She is one of my senior spokesmodel girls and is so full of life and has such a bubbly personality. She is such a giving person with such a big heart, and apart of so many different groups and activities. She is a senior at Madison Grant, and wanted an outdoorsy/water/bridge senior session. She came up with the Pendleton park and it was PERFECT! Her older sister came along for a few photos as well in their matching tutus and t-shirts with their birth year. The whole family tagged along and dad carried her outfits, mom and sister redid her hair and carried all of her cute accessories. I can't wait to shoot again with her in the spring for her second half of her senior photos.

Rees Family Fall Photos at Minnetrista
I captured this sweet little boy in the hospital a year ago for his fresh-48 photos. Kim, his momma contacted me this fall wanting family photos and some of just their little Rowan. With Minnetrista’s beautiful fall leaves and colors, I knew it would be a great location for their family photos. Scroll to the last photo to see this sweet family a year ago in the hospital.

BFF Photo Shoot with Berkley & Courtney at Minnetrista
Scroll to that last photo to see Berkley Rios & Courtney Thomas waving goodbye to their "F" balloon. It got a little bit windy, and as we were walking to the car the midwest derecho started. You would never know when looking through their session. This BFF session was full of laughs, dog kisses, best friend cuddles and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I offered Best Friend Sessions back before Covid started, and we finally got it scheduled. They brought their bikes, adorable dogs, men (to carry all the props around haha), a picnic, BFF Balloons, super cute hats, a letter-board and of course matching jump suits!

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.

Chantelle Portrait Session
I photographed Chantelle & Ryan’s wedding this past year and l LOVED working with the two of them. When Chantelle reached out for a portrait session for herself I was so excited to capture her once again. Ryan came along to help carry her hat and of course support her along the way and we also got some updated couple portraits of the two of them as well. If you have never had a portrait session for yourself, I suggest you book one now! I booked a photographer last fall to capture headshots and portrait of myself along with my dog Kip, and could not stop smiling after I received my photos back. The last time I had photos taken of my self was 8 years ago for my senior photos, so it was definitely time! Thank you Chantelle & Ryan for trusting me to capture your life along the way, you two are the sweetest.

Thanks girls for having me capture your adorable friendship!

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!

Amber & Dillion's Wedding by Kyla Jo Photography
Amber & Dillion’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful. Amber lost her mom to cancer and she honored her in the sweetest ways throughout her special day. She had a charm with a beautiful photo of her mother hanging on her bouquet the entire day. During the reception her and her sister danced to “Supermarket Flowers” in remembrance of their mom, she spoke before they danced and asked her guests to think about all of the good memories that they had of her mom so the room would be filled with those wonderful memories.
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, "don't you cry when you're down"
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
You're home
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived
So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
You're home
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person that I have become
Spread your wing
And I know that when God took you back he said Hallelujah
You're home

Decker Turns 1!
Decker turns 1!
His parents are in for a lot of adventures, bruised knees, ripped pants, and bandaids raising this little boy.
He loved climbing on all of the props, standing on the rocking chair, and getting cake all over himself. He is such an adorable and sweet little boy and I loved working with him and his family to capture his 1 year photos in the studio.
