Hello and welcome to the blog of Terri Smith Photo!
I am a photographer who lives in Tallahassee, Florida. I shoot weddings, bellies, kids and my favorite models, my little girl, Rox and my nephew, Thomas Elliot. Every now and then I might get Bruce and I in the shots too.

Mommy and Daddy got the best birthday present ever…
Grammy made the blankie for her.
Her Mommy and Daddy moved to Tallahassee two months ago and mom went into full nesting mode to have Laurel Grace’s room finished before her arrival.
The tree and bird is a decal that came from Kohls. The brown rocking chair was a Craigslist find. Super comfy.
The bedding and mobile from Banana Fish.
The floating corner shelf from Home Depot.
The dress belonged to her mommy.
The dresser is amazing. Mommy called weekly to see when it would go on sale. Two days before the move to Tallahassee it was all hers!
The cool lamp from TJ Maxx.
She is getting married this Saturday but told me it was okay to post her bridal because I could not stand to wait any longer. “I love them” would be an understatement. (Pretty please, do not mention on Facebook until after Saturday. Her fiance might notice.)
Hannah totally left the details of the shoot to me. I brought Meghan in to work her magic for some high fashion, editorial feel to the images.
And the dress… my all time favorite from Vocelle’s!

Dress: Vocelles, The Bridal Shoppe
A little dollhouse.
A modern dress with a vintage feel. The appliques add to the sweet romance.
This is my favorite type of bustle on a wedding dress. The French Bustle.
Her sisters were able to practice bustling and will be ready on Saturday.
Is it wrong to beg someone to let you shoot their wedding when they don’t even have a boyfriend yet?
I’m not proud of it.
Erin showed up looking stunning. She also chose to do the photo shoot at Red Rock Canyon which is only 20 minute drive from Vegas.
I am not use to the terrain so I was worried about camouflaged snakes. Erin was brave enough to venture way out while I hugged the trail.
It is a popular place for cyclists. We had plenty that went by during the photo shoot. Oddly enough, none of them checked out the photographer. hmmm.
She got a lot of whistles and nice comments which caused this reaction.
She is sweet and caring that her nickname is ‘Mother Hen’.
She reminds me of Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice.
Silver Moons and paper chains,
Faded maps and shiny things.
You’re my favorite one-man show.
A million different ways to go.
Will you fly me away?
Take me away with you,
My love.
Lyrics to “Fly Me Away” by Annie Little
He might be the biggest of Mommy’s three babies but he was the easiest to deliver. Three pushes and “Hello World”.
Big brother, Kent is in love but sister Lilly Jane could care less. How dare a new baby come around to take her place.
I always want to be this kind of mom. The kind who is organized and put together. But alas, Rox and T Rex will have to make do with last minute me.
The left hand, “Rock On”
The right hand, “Leave me alone”
That’s what she calls her Grammy that lives in Chimney Rock, North Carolina.
She’s the kinda Grammy that kids love. Lives in the mountains right next to a river and has a bunch of cats and even deer that are fed in the back yard. Roxy thought that was the coolest thing.
We just got back from seeing Grammy and Uncle Jimmy and Roxanne can not stop talking about all the fun she had.
We went to the Gem Mine where Grammy purchased the best bucket in the whole place so that Rox could start mining for gold.
Eureka!
An amethyst geode.
“My treasures.”
It started raining and next thing I know is this. Even though there is a perfectly nice chlorinated pool for her to enjoy, this made her and Samson the happiest.
One of the things I am thrilled about is her joy when it rains. I know she gets it from me and that makes my heart smile. Cheesy but I don’t care!
Grammy has a friend that lives on Lake Lure (where Dirty Dancing was filmed) and we were able to take the boat for a little spin.
Captain Barbara and her little Skipper.
And she naturally poses like a super model.
Even though I am a worry wart mom, I do not show this fear because I want Rox to enjoy life without Mommy being a party pooper.
This is one of those time. I had the biggest grin and cheering her and Daddy on but deep down inside I was scared. I can’t help it.
Still practicing with Frankie. Looks just like a train track model. Yeah.

I love the Hollywood headshots of the 40s and 50s. The beautiful black and whites of glamorous ladies with striking eyes and flawless makeup.
Jessica came in a blank slate and let Meghan do her magic and then it was my turn. Love them.
