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.

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.

51: Greenhouse Engagement Photos in Bentonville, Arkansas | Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Part one of Joshua and Caleb’s greenhouse engagement photos was at Matkins Flowers and Greenhouse in Bentonville, Arkansas. Part two of their engagement photos was featured yesterday for day 50 of uplifting blog posts during the pandemic. It was a cuddly, in-home session with their sweet pups. Part one was equally adorable! We met up at the greenhouse and worked our way through each area. Joshua and Caleb cracked jokes and had each other (and me) laughing throughout the photoshoot.

49: Portraits of Me | Arkansas Wedding Photographer

DAY 49

At the beginning of the physical distancing measures, my boyfriend took a few portraits of me with my new red bodysuit that I ordered from Glam Expressway in DUMBO, Brooklyn. I absolutely love it! I can’t wait to wear it out with high-waisted jeans when it is safer to do so. The plaid skirt I am wearing in the photos is from Goodwill. I am a huge thrift shopper and I love finding vintage clothes on the cheap! I think I paid $4 for the skirt. Such a steal!

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.

When she showed up for the session, she was wearing the PERFECT dress! The dress was purple and flowy and it just looked gorgeous on her! We walked around the greenhouse chatting, laughing and dancing. I had such a great time with her! The greenhouse was perfect too! So many varieties of flowers and plants. Each time we moved to a different area it looked like we were in an entirely different location. I will say, if you plan to check out Matkins Greenhouse make sure you have plenty of extra cash to spend because it will be hard to leave without any of their gorgeous plants and flowers.

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. 😃
