🍂 Is there anything better than fall in Northern Indiana?! 🍁

I swear, we live in such a beautiful area this time of year! The trees turn all these gorgeous shades of orange, yellow, and red, and everywhere you go feels like the perfect spot for pictures.

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to enjoy all these beautiful colors with my clients. From family sessions with the kids running through the leaves to couples snuggling up together, fall really does make everything feel a little extra special. 🤎

And of course, as a photographer, I wish these colors would stick around a little longer! 😂 Before we know it, the leaves will be gone, and we'll be back to gray skies and cold weather.

So get outside, take the scenic route, visit your favorite park, and enjoy this beautiful season while it lasts!

And if you've been wanting updated family pictures, fall in Northern Indiana is hard to beat! 📸🍂

What is your favorite spot to see the fall colors around here?

Weddings are a big part of what I do here at Weeping Willow Photography, and after 22 years of photographing them, I still love being part of each one.

I love all the details couples spend so much time planning—the dress, flowers, invitations, venue, and all the little touches that make the day feel like you.

But the moments I really love are the ones that happen naturally.

The look on your dad’s face when he sees you for the first time. The nervous laughs before the ceremony. Your friends and family celebrating on the dance floor. The quiet moment when you and your new spouse finally get a chance to take it all in. The hugs, happy tears, and little moments you may not even realize are happening.

Those are the moments I want to capture for you.

I want your gallery to tell the full story of your wedding day, not just be a collection of pretty pictures. After 22 years behind the camera and 12 years as a full-time photographer, I know wedding days do not always go exactly as planned—and that is okay.

Rain happens. Timelines change. Someone runs late. Flowers may not look exactly like you imagined. Rings get stuck. Things happen.

My job is to stay calm, help keep the day moving, and make sure you can enjoy your wedding while I take care of the photography. I want you to have beautiful portraits, but I also want plenty of time for the candid moments and the people who made the day special.

Your wedding should feel like your wedding, not one long photo shoot.

At the end of the day, I want you to remember marrying your favorite person and celebrating with the people you love most.

I’d be honored to help tell your story.

🤍 Newborn photography is one of my favorite things to photograph.

And after all these years, I've become pretty darn good at wrapping tiny humans.

Like... really good. 😆

Newborn wrapping is something I've spent years practicing, and it's one of the parts of newborn photography that I genuinely love.

There's something so special about taking a tiny, brand-new human and carefully wrapping them up while they're all sleepy and squishy.

But newborn sessions aren't just about getting the perfect sleepy pose.

They're about documenting those tiny details you'll swear you'll never forget...

Their little fingers.

The tiny wrinkles.

The fuzzy hair.

The way they curl up on your chest.

Those brand-new expressions.

The way they fit perfectly in your arms.

I've photographed a LOT of babies over the years, and I still get excited when I get to meet a new one.

So if you're nervous about your newborn session...

Don't be.

I've got you. 🤍

Christmas at the A-Frame

Okay, this one is REALLY special.
I've been talking with the owner of Willowbrook Farms about using her adorable A-frame Airbnb for holiday photos...
And I'm SO excited to say:
IT'S OFFICIALLY HAPPENING!
On November 29th, I'll be bringing Weeping Willow Photography to the Willowbrook Farms A-Frame for a cozy Christmas mini experience.

And I've already got the setup planned.
~ Two Christmas trees
~ A gorgeous green velvet loveseat
~ Simple, cozy holiday details
~ The beautiful A-frame cabin
~ Woods and natural surroundings outside

I'm intentionally keeping this setup simple and timeless because the A-frame itself is already so beautiful. I want the focus to stay on your family—not a room full of Christmas decorations.

I'm picturing cozy sweaters, little ones snuggled up on the couch, Christmas tree lights glowing in the background, and all those little moments that make this time of year so special.

November 29th | Willowbrook Farms
15-minute session
Includes:
~ 8 professionally edited digital images
~ Private online gallery
~ Print release for personal use
This is a brand-new location for Weeping Willow Photography, and I'm so excited to create something really beautiful here.
If you've been wanting holiday photos that feel cozy and unique without looking overly staged, this one is for you.

Christmas at the A-Frame is officially open for booking!
Book your spot here:

I cannot wait for this one. 🤍

📸 Okay, but who is the person behind the camera?

Hi! I'm Kayla. 👋

I've been photographing people for 22 years and doing this crazy photography thing full-time for 12 years.

Over the years I've photographed weddings, newborns, tiny babies, growing families, maternity sessions, seniors, headshots, and just about every kind of family chaos you can imagine.

And I genuinely love it.

I'm the photographer who will probably tell your toddler they can run around.

I'll probably make a ridiculous noise to get your baby's attention.

I'll fix your dress.

I'll move your hair.

I'll tell Dad where to put his hands because he has absolutely no idea what to do with them. 😂

And I'll probably spend just as much time making sure everyone is comfortable as I do actually taking photographs.

Because photography isn't just about having a nice camera.

It's about knowing people.

And after 22 years, I've learned a LOT about people. 🤍

🌲 Christmas in the Pines 🌲

One of my favorite things about holiday photos is that they don't have to look overly “Christmas-y.”

Sometimes the most beautiful holiday photos are simply your family, bundled up together, surrounded by evergreen trees.

That's exactly what I'm planning for my Outdoor Holiday Minis at Saint Patrick County Park!

November 22nd
We'll be surrounded by beautiful pine trees for a cozy, natural, timeless holiday portrait experience.
Perfect for:
~ Family photos
~ Kids
~ Couples
~ Grandparents & grandchildren
~ Christmas cards
~ A yearly family photo
~ Or just because you want beautiful photos of your people

15-minute session
Your session includes:
• 8 professionally edited digital images
• Private online gallery
• Print release for personal use

And YES—the booking link is officially fixed! 😂🙌
If you tried to book before and ran into an issue, I'm so sorry! Everything is working now and you can officially grab your spot.

November 22nd | Saint Patrick County Park
These spots are limited, and my remaining 2026 availability is getting VERY small.

So... why Weeping Willow Photography?

I've been asked this one a lot over the years.

There is just something about a weeping willow tree that has always felt beautiful to me.

They're soft and peaceful, but they're also strong. Their branches move and grow and change with the seasons. They're a little wild and imperfect, but somehow that's what makes them beautiful.

And honestly... that feels a lot like the kind of photography I love.

I don't want your photographs to feel stiff or overly posed.

I want movement. Connection. Giggles. Wind-blown hair. Babies being squishy. Kids being goofy. Couples actually enjoying each other.

The beautiful, imperfect pieces of your life are the pieces I want to photograph.

And that's how Weeping Willow Photography got its name.
