Featured Session { Jenna } | Naples Beach Senior Portraits

Terrilyn — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:24:54 +0000

Meet Jenna! Jenna’s graduating this year and currently lives in the great state of Texas. She wanted something a little different than your average every day senior portraits so she scheduled a session with me on the beach in North Naples. Jenna and her Mother showed up with big smiles and a car full of clothes, I instantly loved them! This girl has style to spare and such an amazingly sweet personality to go along with it. Jenna, we had such a BLAST hanging out on the beach with you (and you too Mom!). I can’t wait to show you all the fantastic photos we captured that day…in fact…keep checking your email because those proofs will be ready REAL soon!

Sneak Peek { Michelle } | Naples Senior Beach Photographer

Terrilyn — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:27:43 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to meet up with Michelle on the beach in North Naples. Being a Michigan girl you can imagine she was pretty excited to have her senior photos taken on the beach, can’t say I blame her! Michelle is a beauty, inside and out. And as you’ll see below, a complete natural in front of the camera.

Thanks for spending the morning with me, I had a blast working with you and can’t wait to show you all the gorgeous photos we captured that day!

Sneak Peek { Katelyn } | Sanibel Island Senior Portraits

Terrilyn — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:29:35 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Katelyn for a fantastic senior portrait session on the beautiful beaches of Sanibel Island. Katelyn is just as sweet as can be and absolutely beautiful, I’m more than a little jealous of her flawless complexion and beautiful bright smile. Hang in there Katelyn, I’m working on your session this week and should have those proofs up and ready real soon!

Sneak Peek { Jessica & Guy } | Naples Artistic Portraits

Terrilyn — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:46:53 +0000

Just a few to share today from a totally fun session I recently had with a couple of very talented young authors. They needed something unique and whimsical to use for their upcoming promotional materials and book jackets. Until their new books are officially released I encourage you to check out Jessica’s latest book on Amazon.com titled The Starlight Serenade, it is beautifully written and illustrated.

Oh and yes, this session also took place at the Naples Secret Garden I mentioned last week. So many posibilities for this enchanting place.

Sneak Peek { Miriam } | L.A. Actress Stopping Traffic in Downtown Fort Myers

Terrilyn — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:25:12 +0000

Literally! I guess you can’t really blame people for staring, I mean she’s beautiful isn’t she? If Miriam looks slightly familiar to you, she is the same model/actress roating through the banner images at the top of the blog. She called me wanting to see about updating her portfolio when she passed through Naples after wrapping up a television show in LA, how could I refuse? Remember this face, this young woman is going places. I’m looking forward to being able to say “I knew her when…”

Featured Session { Erin } | Up and Coming New York Actress hits the Beach in Naples

Terrilyn — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:00:56 +0000

Meet Erin, remember her face and expect to see her gracing the big screen very soon. Erin is a very talented college student and actress from New York whom I had the pleasure of working with just recently. I actually find it refreshing to step outside of the ‘norm’ and work with a client who doesn’t make me chase them. *giggle*

Beyond the whole anti-chase factor there is a certain amount of enjoyment that comes from having the opprotunity to put some of that expensive photography gear to use. You know the stuff you buy that you think you can’t live without, only to find it isn’t nearly as useful when you’re dealing with little people who sit still for exactly 0.2 seconds.

My beloved Lasolite Grip reflector is so much fun to play with for different looks….

Sneak Peek, Logan

The beach at sunset + handsome young man + rockin’ tunes being played while I’m shooting = one totally inspiring creative high for me!! Thanks for such a fabulous session Logan!

Just one more, we had to stand in the rain for this series. Mom holding my reflector over my head to shield the camera. *giggle* Seems to be the way these evening sessions go this time of year. That’s ok with me though, I just love those stormy blue skies behind him. Yeah, I think it was worth it.

Senior Portraits on Sanibel Island

Terrilyn — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:49:10 +0000

Ok, first I have to say, how cool is Mom to schedule Dana’s senior portraits during their vacation on Sanibel Island? She might just be the only girl in her Pennsylvania high school to get her senior photos done on the beach. I think that’s pretty cool!

Not only is Dana absolutely beautiful, she’s also quite a trooper! The day or her session was just plain gloomy. No, I take that back, it wasn’t merely gloomy it was raining on us for most of the session! I had her ducking for cover under my reflector, I was balancing an umbrella over my camera…oh…did I mention their were mutant misquotes attacking us the entire time too? See, Class A Trooper! She deserves something awesome for her hard work because aside from a few water spots and a dark sky in a few shots you’d never know, she was all smiles and sunshine.

Not ‘Just Another Day At the Beach”

Terrilyn — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:00:00 +0000

I am often asked if I photograph adults. Meaning executives, models, actors, and so on. My response, Yes!! Of course I do! Though my first love and loyalty lies with child photography I do enjoy having the opportunity to work with adult subjects. These sessions give me the opportunity to set scene and plan the next shot as opposed to my child sessions where I am forced to rely on instinct and quick thinking. Both are inspiring and challenging sessions, just very different from each other in the approach and the outcome.

Tonight I’m going to share some images from a recent session with an aspiring actress. Some of the images may be a bit more daring than what you are used to seeing showcased on lifeXpressions, rest assured, images showcased here will always be “G” rated.

To keep the page loading quickly I have reduced the size of the following images. To view the images larger simply click on the thumbnail.

Sneak Peek, Elizabeth

Terrilyn — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 13:00:00 +0000

Elizabeth, Class of 2007, bless her heart – this girl can get some air under her feet! Nope, not a cheerleader either. Elizabeth is a lover of the arts; drama, dance, chorus. Brains, beauty, and ambition – I have no doubt she’ll succeed in whatever she chooses to do
