Mallory's Senior Session - Senior Spokesmodel Team

Mallory Summers

Wapahani 2021 Senior

Mallory is one of my senior spokesmodel girls and I loved being able to spend a little extra time with her during her senior year. From our first meet and greet headshot session, her 2 hour senior session, and then our styled shoot together last fall. We only have one more shoot together for her cap and gown shoot, I really am going to miss my senior spokesmodel girls after this spring.

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.

Lexi's Fall Senior Session with Her Jeep Wrangler

Lexi, one of my senior spokesmodel girls had her senior session this fall and she brought her Jeep Wrangler along. I love when seniors incorporate something special and unique to them such as a vehicle, sport they play, pet, or hobby. We started at the nature area near the reservoir, headed to the river in downtown for photos along the water and ended at the Craddock Nature Preserve in her gorgeous pink dress. Her mom and bff Sierra (another senior spokesmodel girl I photographed just a day later) tagged along and assisted in carrying her outfits and making us both laugh.

Leah's Senior Session - At the Nature Reserve, River, and Minnetrista

Leah had 2 senior sessions this fall, the first with her horse and in downtown Muncie and the second session at Minnetrista, the Nature Reserve, and along the river. I absolutely loved getting to know Leah and her family over 3+ hours of shooting together. I am so excited to be sharing a peek at her second senior session, YAY!

Leah's Senior Session - Downtown Muncie & At Home With Her Horse

I am always excited for a unique photo session, especially when that session includes animals. When Leah’s mom told me that she wanted senior photos with her horse, I did a HAPPY DANCE! We started her session in downtown Muncie, with the assistance of her mom and 2 younger sisters. Her youngest sister (Paige age 10) brought her camera and shot besides me throughout the session. It was so stinking sweet to see such a young person take such an interest in photography and watching what I was doing. After we left downtown Muncie, we headed to her home in Delta. Their property was absolutely gorgeous, with a large field, her beautiful horse, and an amazing sunset at the end of her session. We just had our second half of her senior session yesterday, and I can’t wait to edit and share those here soon!

If you are thinking of including something unique and important to you in your senior session, PLEASE DO! I send every senior a form to fill out while we are scheduling their session, so I can help make their session as unique and custom to them as possible. I don’t want every senior’s experience to be at the exact same location and look the same for every senior. Everyone is different and I want to make sure and customize their senior session to fit them and reflect how they are as an individual.

Mallory Summers Senior Session - Spokesmodel Team Representative

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.

We started Mallory’s senior session in Farmland, Indiana and then headed to Bailey’s Place where she works on the weekend setting up and tearing down weddings and events. We ended on her family’s property with the gorgeous weeds and yellow flowers.

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.

Here is a little bio that they each wrote about themselves for me to share:

Sophia Ireland: "I go to Wapahani High School and Amber's Beauty School. I am very passionate about hair, makeup, and fashion. I love this field of work because I love making others feel beautiful in their own skin. After graduation I plan on going to ball state and majoring in psychology, and then hopefully attending medical school for psychiatry. I'm very excited about joining the senior spokesmodel team and becoming closer with all of the other wonderful ladies on the team as well!

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."

Blair Phillips: "Hi, my name is Blair Phillips! I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I'm a varsity cheerleader at Madison-Grant and show animals in 4-H. I look forward to being on the spokesmodel team so that I can be a good representation of Kyla Jo Photography!"

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!"

Grace & Blair Best Friend Session in Downtown Muncie

One of my favorite downtown sessions to date!
Grace & Blair rocked their BFF session in Downtown Muncie and we had a blast doing it. We laughed so hard, played in the street, and I ended up with way too many photos to pick a favorite!

Ava & Hanna BFF Session

I offered BFF sessions this past spring, and I absolutely loved capturing these! Ava and her bff Hanna wanted some photos in their neighborhood and it was beautiful. Look how stinking cute these two are, they were the sweetest to work with. The wind was CRAZY that evening, but it made for some pretty windblown hair and lots of laughs. Thanks girls for having me capture your adorable friendship!

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

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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!
