56: Happy Mother's Day! | Jenn Terrell Photography

My mom is the biggest sweetheart. She raised me with love and acceptance. I knew that whatever I chose to do or be in life she would support that. She has just really always wanted to best for me and my siblings. Our dad died when we were pretty young and she suddenly had to raise three kids alone. She did the very best that she could. Things were not easy. We had to grow up pretty fast and she had to face a harsh new reality alone. I can’t imagine what she went through. Through all of it she made sure we knew she loved us. Now, she is so proud of each of us.

55: Emily Nance | Talented Arkansas Musician | Jenn Terrell Photography

I got to hang out with my crazy talented sister-in-law this evening. She found this 1970s dress that was her mom’s from yearrrrs ago. It was perfect for a quick sunset shoot. These photos are a preview of our evening. Emily knocked it out of the park! I am so excited to edit the rest :) Here are a couple for now. Check out Emily’s music at www.emilynance.com.

52: Couple photos in Bentonville, Arkansas | Arkansas Wedding Photographer

I met up with Drew and Mary in Bentonville and we had a physically distant friend date. We got dinner to-go, sprayed sanitizer on some outdoor seating and chatted for an hour. It was so nice to meet up with them. ❤️I snapped a few photos of them in this alley before we ate our dinner.

50: In-Home Engagement Photos in Northwest Arkansas | Arkansas Wedding Photographer

What better place to have your engagement photos than in your own house with your pups! :)

Caleb and Joshua are goofy, sweet and they love Beyonce! What more could you want from a couple? Plus, they had me crackin’ up the whole photoshoot! We started the photoshoot in the greenhouses at Matkins Flower & Greenhouse in Bentonville, Arkansas. Then part two of the shoot, featured in this post, was at their home in Northwest Arkansas with their two adorable pups.

48: Fayetteville, Arkansas Maternity Photos in a Greenhouse | Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Morgan and John are always amazing to be around! ❤️The chemistry and love they have together is a beautiful thing to witness. ❤️❤️❤️We did Morgan’s maternity photos a couple of years ago and it is still one that I love to look back on.

Greenhouse photos are some of my favorites! They really provide a lot of advantages to clients. There are great colors, a huge variety of plants and flowers and there is usually a greenhouse cat. You will see an example of one when you scroll down a bit. Nurseries like this one usually have a few different greenhouses with various plants in each. There are also some gorgeous plants outside as well. For sessions like these I like to move all throughout the property and get photos in each area.

45: A Creative Session with Bianca, Lioness of South Beach | Miami Beach, Florida

Bianca! This woman is going to be hella famous one day. I am absolutely sure of it! She has already done some big things too. She was featured in a Third Love commercial and she absolutely killed it singing and acting in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover. Her voice gives me the chills when she hits some of those notes. She is crazy talented and just a lovely person. We did this session back in early February and I was hyped up throughout the entire session. We were working together to create so awesome shots that just felt really natural. I can’t wait to see what she does when the world resumes. ❤️❤️❤️

44: Lily: Actor, Dancer, Director, Artist & All-Empowering Being | Miami Beach, Florida

Lily. Just wow. Lily is a multi-talented artist. Watching her act and direct for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover at Faena in Miami Beach, Florida was truly unforgettable. She sang, she dance, she led, she inspired! ❤️See more of her work on her website.

I am so grateful that I got to see this production so many times and witness the greatness of that cast. Every single person on that cast was so talented! Truly, I loved watching them all. They all impressed me so much from day one.

Day 42: Photos in Paradise | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

A few summers ago, I lived in Wahiawa, Hawaii for a few months. ❤️While I was there I did a photo-a-day photo challenge. Most of the photos below are from that challenge plus a couple extras just for fun. 😃

Day 37: How I Got My Start in Photography as a Career | Jenn Terrell, Arkansas + Florida Photographer

I love swapping stories with others about how they got their start in whatever they are passionate about. I remember when I was 15 or 16, I borrowed my sister’s point and shoot digital camera. My best friend and I got dressed up and I took pictures of her individually and us together. We had such a good time and felt so confident. I have no idea where those photos are now but that was so much fun. ❤️Then when I was 19 I bought a film camera from goodwill. I bought some film and my friend show me how to load it. I started photographing everything.

Uplifting Photos in the Wake of the Corona Virus, Day 34 | Jenn Terrell Photography

I took a bit of a mental health day today so I thought I’d share a photo of a butterfly. ❤️ I took this photograph years ago after a wedding in Arkansas.

Uplifting Photos in the Wake of the Corona Virus, Day 32 | Jenn Terrell Photography

I have photographed Jasmine numerous times at this point and it is always such a good time! Her bff, Jae, always tags along and those two together is always a hell of time! For the past two years I have photographed Jasmine for her birthday in-person in Arkansas. We used Onyx Coffee Lab in Bentonville, Arkansas as a location for the first one and a super cool brewery in downtown Rogers, Arkansas for the next one. This year an in-person shoot wasn’t a safe option and we were some states apart so she booked a virtual session. I will start with that one and then post the photos backwards in time.. :)
