Kyla Jo Photography is a Muncie, Indiana Portrait Photographer capturing newborn, family, wedding, senior, milestone, pet, and engagement photos.
Lexi is one of my senior spokesmodel girls! I have loved capturing her senior photos through out her entire senior year. After getting to know her at the meet and greet session, then shooting our styled shoot together all day, I got to shoot her 2 hour senior session at several locations.
Read MoreMallory 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.
Read MoreCameron Cox said he liked classic cars on his senior form that I have all of my senior clients fill out. Little did I know that this ‘69 SS Camaro would be this COOL! Cameron got quite the variety of locations for his senior photos. We started at his home and captured a few photos with his two beagles, headed to a bridge near his family’s home with his dad’s Camaro, drove into downtown Muncie and walked a couple blocks, and then ended along the river in Muncie. He got all the fall colors and had such great weather for his session. Just a month earlier I captured his older sister’s wedding, it was so much fun getting to know this sweet family and capture such important moments for them.
Read MoreAbigail was such a sweet senior to work with. We started in nature in the woods, then headed to the river in downtown muncie, while we were shooting we both saw this SWEET looking graffiti wall. She had told me she was interested in art and it was absolutely perfect for her and her style. I have 30 minutes left to shoot with her in a couple weeks and then I have family photos booked with her and her family in December.
Read MoreLexi, 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 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) tagged along and assisted in carrying her outfits and making her laugh.
Read MoreLeah 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!
Read MoreMallory 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 MoreWe spent the entire day at the studio for hair and makeup. Kayla Butler styled their hair with their favorite Boho styles (lots of braids and fun curls). Andrea Connelly did their makeup, with natural colors to showcase their true beauty. MY VENDORS WERE AMAZING to work with! While the girls got all dolled up, I captured behind the scene photos of each of them and we jammed out to music. It couldn’t have went better! After showing up at 8:45 that morning finishing my set up from the day before, the girls started showing up at 10 am and hair and makeup started! We finished getting ready in the studio at 4:30 and headed out to the woods on golf carts. The girls faces lit up when they saw the styled shoot set up for the very first time! The shoot included a Belle tent, tall colorful candles, vintage crystal colorful glasses, tons of colorful blankets and pillows, handmade bouquets recycled from a wedding, my fave Target egg chair, an old ladder, and lots of other accessories to make up a boho vibe….
Read MoreScroll 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!
Read MoreGUYS! 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.

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.

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.
Caroline was such a blast to work with, we had the most perfect weather, so many laughs, and captured the most gorgeous photos of her! She was so adventurous as she climbed through all the prickly weeds! I loved working with Caroline and capturing her senior photos. I also found some new spots here in Muncie, if you are looking to schedule your senior photos and like any of these gorgeous locations let me know!
Read MoreThis was the second time that I got the pleasure of capturing Hannah McCoin's Senior photos!
I absolutely love working with her and her spunk! Her outfits never disappoint and I end up saying "YES, perfect!" way too much during our sessions.
I got the opportunity to capture Riley, who is a senior at Yorktown high School graduating this Sunday. Her momma wanted a session with her 12 year old dog Gypsy, so that is what we did! I absolutely love being able to capture pets in photo sessions. When I was a senior in high school, I lost my childhood dog, Biscuit to old age. That previous summer I had had photos taken in my backyard with him and those photos mean the world to me. Being able to look back at those images, after he was gone is so special to me, and I will hold on to those for the rest of my life.
Read MoreHadley and Charlotte were the sweetest little blue eyed blonde sisters to work with! We captured Hadley’s 1 year photos in the studio along with some photos of her and her big sister Charlotte. While Hadley was getting changed, Charlotte helped take photos of her dollies on my props and it was adorable. Happy 1 year to little Hadley, thanks for visiting me in the studio!

Emersyn Mae Pittenger was born on December 15, 2018 at 1:50pm weighing 7lbs 11oz and measuring 21 1/2in long. I am so happy that I got to capture her mom and dad’s maternity photos before she was born, and then 2 weeks after she was born I got to capture sweet little Emersyn in my studio. She was wide awake for about an hour and a half, then fell asleep for about 30 minutes. She was absolutely adorable and so sweet during her session.
