Mallory Summers is one of my 2021 senior spokesmodel girls, and I have LOVED getting to know her. I have worked with her now three times this year, first at our welcome session, then her senior shoot, and lastly our styled shoot with all the girls. Each senior spokesmodel gets their own 2 hour senior session as well as several other team shoots all for the same price as a senior session. My team of 6 senior girls are stinking amazing and I have loved working with them all and capturing their sweet personalities.

Read MoreSince my highschool senior year when I decided I wanted to become a photographer, I knew I wanted to open my own studio one day. In my head this was such an unrealistic DREAM that I never thought it would actually happen. I assumed that I would be 30/40 years old with kids before I would actually be able to do it, if I could even do it then! After several months of looking at places to rent or buy and nothing seemed to be "just right", I found a space that needed a lot of work but it was PERFECT! After a lot of hard work from Dean, Cory & JR... I HAVE A STUDIO SPACE and a waiting room is in the works! I am so happy with how it turned out, I got to completely start from scratch and pick out the colors, trim, flooring, furniture, and design it to fit Kyla Jo Photography's style PERFECTLY! Thank you to my family who has pushed me and encouraged me to reach for my dreams, for all of the props that they have donated and to all of my clients who have helped me get here! I am so thankful for all of it! I now have an indoor studio space for newborns, children, headshots, pets, boudoir, and anything you can imagine! Here is just a little sneak peek at what my studio looks like and some of the details such as the flooring, paint color, furniture, location, my favorite parts, and some of my props!

I was commissioned to photograph this little white blank mug. This Etsy store owner gave me no rules besides that she needed to be able to add an image digitally, which made for a fun photoshoot with Jama. I captured all of the images I needed for my commission and then went a little over board and kept shooting. We ventured into a downtown Muncie Coffee shop, The Caffeinery, bought ourselves some warm drinks and a pink frosted donut. Outside there was snow, but the inside of The Caffeinery was warm and full of locals.

After the ceremony the couple traveled by bus to the IU football game to tailgate with friends and family at their RV, while still in their wedding attire. The reception was held several hours later at Deer Park. Their reception was elegant and beautifully decorated with lights and floral arrangements. The couple are die hard IU sports fans and it definitely showed!
Read MoreSarah & Dik were such a blast to work with! We found some hidden treasures at Jacobs' Apple Orchard outside of New Castle, Indiana. The entire day leading up to the session was rainy and we were so worried that we would get rained out, but to our surprise it cleared up and turned into a beautiful evening. Sarah had warned me that they had never had photos done before and that they were both awkward, but the two were so natural and flirty with each other and I could not have asked for a better session! I can't wait to work with these two again in the future!
