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. ❤️❤️❤️

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 41: Cinnamon, Vanilla Dalgona (Whipped) Coffee | Jenn Terrell, Photographer

I am a coffee fanatic so the Dalgona coffee trend was right up my alley. Plus I think we could all use something fun to keep us busy for a minute or so. I have made Dalgona coffee several different ways and posted in my instagram stories a ton about this.

Day 40: In-Home couple photos in Bend, Oregon

I think now is a great time to share in-home sessions since we are all spending a lot more time in pajamas at home. This in-home session was from when I visited my brother and his sweet wife, Hannah, in Bend, Oregon. They were being super sweet after a day of being out of the house. So I grabbed my camera and got these. ❤️

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 35 | Jenn Terrell Photography

Today I am sharing some of my favorite bridal portraits. ❤️ These were taken at The 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas last October. Kim was such an amazing bride! I loved every detail her and Adam curated for their wedding. It was such a beautiful day! The Crescent hotel has a gorgeous, moody, romantic, and emotional feel to it. I loved using various areas of the property to take photos. Kim’s dress and flowers were absolutely gorgeous!

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 33 | Jenn Terrell Photography

Today I am sharing a couple of portraits of my mom. The idea for to take these portraits came after I had a dream about photographing my dad who passed when I was 12. I didn’t get a camera until I was about 15 so I never took any proper photos of him when he was alive. In my dream everything felt so real. He was right there and I was finally given the chance the photograph him. I was nervous and I was asking him to stay still as I adjusted my lens. I remember thinking, in my dream, about which lens would be the best and how important these photos would be.

A Virtual Couple Session with Chris and Hannah | Jenn Terrell Photography

This couple in particular is extra special to me. This is my brother and sister-in-law. They are the goofiest, kindest and most loving people. I visited them in Oregon a couple of winters ago and I had so much fun! They come to Arkansas from time-to-time to and it is always so great to see them. 💕I was stoked when they wanted to set up a session! Hannah showed me one of the major benefits of super long hair: the perfect split mustache (see below). 😎 I can’t wait until this pandemic is over and I can go get some tacos with them in Oregon. 💕

Here are a few from their virtual session on Friday.
