    This is where you will see my most recent work as well as what's going on in my life, crazy path down Mommy-hood, and what's going through my mind and in my heart. My goal is to share something REAL... true life whether it be through my pictures or just sharing with you my day to day thoughts (which by the way goes a million miles a minute and is always coming up with crazy, new, fun ideas).

Carlos and Sophia| My Sweet Babies| Personal Post| Orlando Florida Photographer| Jennifer Terrero Photography

Time needs to just pause.  I really cant believe how BIG my sweet babies are.  I cant believe how blessed I am to be their Mommy and I cant THANK my husband enough for supporting me enough to know that being at home with them is the greatest gift he could ever give me.

I have been so busy with work lately that sometimes I feel like a horrible Mommy and not making enough time for them.  I have a schedule and I stick to it but I feel like they need more of me.  So for the pass few weeks I’ve come to realize that I will always have work… no matter what it is… it will always be there BUT my kids… they are growing before my eyes and they come first no matter what.  So…. I’ve make sure to take time… a lot of time during the week to spend it with them.  Whether it be running around the house playing super heros, coloring time, reading books, teaching them new things, going out to play, and even laying in bed with them to watch a movie or their favorite t.v. show.

To My Sweet Boy…. you cant imagine the love I have for you…. its beyond words how much you have filled my life with complete joy.  You have the sweetest soul… and you protect your sister and I like we are your trophies.  You wouldn’t dare to leave your sister or go to bed without giving me a BIG hug, kiss, and tell me just how much you love me.  You melt my heart over and over again.  Your latest thing is to come to me, giving me a big hug, and say “Mama… do you know that your the bestest Mama in the world ever?”…. with your big brown eyes and your sweet smile.  As much as you love me… the love you have for your sister is out of this world.  Always protecting her, helping her, consoling her, loving her, and making sure she always knows that you will be there for her no matter what is such an AMAZING site to see.  I love how big your imagination is… I don’t want you to ever loose that.  You can play all day long alone with your super heros just making up scenes and a whole storyline.  My favorite time of the day is early morning… around 5am when you come over to my bed… you snuggle right in between me and your Daddy and the only way you can fall back to sleep is to feel me close to you… you make sure you can feel my heat and caress my face… while mumbling… I love you Mama.  Oh… my sweet boy… you have no idea just how much I love you.

To My Pretty Princess… ohhh…. your gonna give me a run for my money.  You have the kindest soul but your VERY independent.  You like to figure things out all on your own… your famous line right now is “I do it”.  You love to play with your brother and run around with him when he’s acting crazy around the house.  You are VERY much a girlie girl though… you LOVE your babies, purse, carriage, your dresses, “jewelry”, make up, hair bows, and painting your nails.  I love every bit of it!  We play Princess Tea on a daily basis and you always make sure your the “Mommy”.  Your Daddy is your world…. your face lights up every time you see him…. and though this is very much true… I LOVE that when your hurt or not feeling good… only Mama can make it all better.  When you want something… their isn’t a soul that can change your mind.  You are super smart and so beautiful!  I have no idea what I’m gonna do with you when you hit 16 but I look forward to spending every day of my life watching you grow.  You have no idea how your sweet smile melts my heart…. how your “I love you too”… makes my heart skip a beat.

My babies… I’m honored to be called your Mama.  I love you both to the Moon and Back!

 

Princess Jasmine| She’s ONE| Child Photographer| Orlando Florida| Jennifer Terrero Photography

Jasmine was one of my very first newborns and she has grown into such a beautiful little girl!  She was the sweetest thing…. so loving and ready to cuddle.  I had so much fun following her around and watching her sweet personality shine through.  Check out her sweetness!

Meet Adrienne and Adam| Engagement Session| Winter Park Photographer| Jennifer Terrero Photography

When Adrienne contacted me about her wedding… I was excited.  We started talking about the wedding and when we met up I could see the glow and pure happiness.  Talking to her about Adam made her eyes bright and she couldn’t help but smile.  She was IN LOVE.

Meeting Adam for the fist time at our session was a little nerve wrecking but within minutes that was all gone.  He is a complete sweetheart and LOVES Adrienne with all his heart.  It wasn’t hard to tell at our session… when he held her… you could see him smile… and when he kissed her… you could see him melt in her arms.  <3

They made my job easy…. and I cant wait to shoot their wedding in November.

Adrienne and Adam… Congrats on your upcoming wedding.  I’m so happy for the both of you!

Love,

Jen

New Lens… Macro! | Personal Post| Central Florida Photographer| Jennifer Terrero Photography

I finally upgraded my camera to a D700!!!!!!!!!!  I cant tell you just how excited I am.  THIS is the camera I’ve been working hard to save up for.  I just didn’t want to get the camera…. I wanted to make sure I knew my old camera inside and and out before I upgraded.  The D700 is so powerful and amazing but I will say when I first got it… I felt so lost!  LOL!!!  It was like I had new clue where to even begin.  Thank god for a trusty friend that was able to help me not freak out and show me a few little pointers to get started.

I was super nervous to shoot with it.  I had sessions booked and carried it around in my camera bag but didn’t take it out.  It was a feeling of excitement but of fear too… “what if I messed this up?”  I was so busy with things going on that I didn’t even have time to play with it.  Then at a session… I decided… I just HAD to use it.  I’m a visual and hands on learner and I knew that I just had to make myself use it and learn it as I went.  I didn’t have the time to play with it… I just HAD to do it… and I did!!!!

After the session I was super nervous to plug in the memory card and see what I had done but I was soooooooooo excited to see what I had captured and how amazing it looked!  I was hooked.  I still have a lot to learn with it but I’m getting there… little by little.

With the camera I also got a new lens… a macro… a 60mm to be quite exact.  I took the kids to the park and brought my camera and my new lens out with me.  Boy was it fun trying to figure it out and play around with it.

This photography world can be a hard one… and sometimes we get unmotivated or ready to call it quits… but I’ve learned that when your in this positions… all it takes is to find your passion again and do the things that make you happy again.

Love,

Jen
