I am so excited to share my new blog with you. Welcome, my name is Therese. I am a children's photographer in Corona, CA. I love what I do, I love my family and friends, and just really love my life. I am Blessed that I have these great gifts. I get asked all the time, "What made you want to become a children's photographer?". Well aside from the fact that my mom always had a camera in her hands and that addiction wore off on me, here is the real story. In Sept 2000, my husband and I adopted our 2 wonderful daughters from an orphanage in Ukraine. My girls were 4 and 6 yrs old when we met them. They are bio sisters who had lived there since they were 1 and 3yrs. They had never had their photo taken. Their first "photo" was their passport photo to come to America. Well being that I always have a camera in my hand, I took thousands and thousands of photos of them. I caught "moments" that I wanted them to remember. Everything they saw , they saw for the first time. I wanted us all to remember those moments, forever. It breaks my heart when I hear them say they wished they knew what they looked like as a baby. They will never even know, they had their first photo when they were 4 and 6yrs. So fast forward to today, they run when they see my camera, as do most children of a photographer.(wink, wink) But they will have many precious photos to share with their children one day. I hope you will remember to capture the moments of your child's life. It is our gift to them. If we don't do it, who will? I hope I can be part of of your children's life, just for a moment, to capture their story.

My darling stepdaughter is out visiting us for a couple weeks from WA. She was really excited to have some new photos taken. She looks so beautiful. I can’t wait to show her these photos. 
I had the pleasure of meeting this FUN family group of 16. We met at Oak Glen which is just so beautiful. Great spot; AWESOME family. I could not ask for a better day. Here are just a couple from that day.I LOVE the fun group photo, those are always my favorites. 
Oh and I just had to include this one of they youngest who was just TOO CUTE! Just look at those eyes.
Wow, this is a large group! i think you did a great job!!
great job. love the last one
Looks like you rocked this session, therese! love the fun group, and those little guy’s eyes are so pretty!
What a lovely photograph of the family - your second photo made me laugh out loud!
That little guy is adorable.
This is no easy task,but you did it beautifully!! That little guy is gorgeous!
what a great job with a large group! I love the last one too! 
wow - great job with a large group!! That little one is so cute.
Hi-
I’m new to Therese’s blog. I am one of the ones in the group of 16 and the mom of the cutie with the beautiful eyes! My husband’s brother and family were down from Idaho and we realized that our entire family would be together for the week (which is rare) so as a gift to them, we hired Therese to take our pictures. She did an incredible job with us… we were a large group and my little Will was more interested in exploring dirt than getting his photo taken… it had its stresssful moments for me! But when I saw the pictures of my kids and family online, I cried… it’s amazing the emotions that come when you see your loved ones faces captured like this! It brings home the reality that life is short and how precious each moment is that we share with our family and friends. To have that day captured on film will forever be a precious memory to me. Therese - THANK YOU! Your work is amazing and powerful!

What a great combination huh? I was lucky to get my daughter who is only 12 by the way, to take some shots with some of my hats from my hat collection. Yes, I collect hats, I love them. So if you ever book me for a session, I will most likely grab a hat for you to wear. I just can’t believe how much older she is starting to look now. What a beauty, isn’t she?
Wow I can’t pick a favorite! She is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! How did I not know the beautiful story about your daugthers and their adoption? Not only are you a talented photographer but a wonderful person!!!!
Therese these are fab-u-lous! The color’s fantastic. Kudos!
Wow! Therese! Your daughter is amazingly beautiful! I can’t believe she’s only 12. I love the last one the most!
You have such a gift of bringing out your client’s beauty through your photography. Keep up the great work!
WOW…just 12?? Are you sure?? Shes beautiful! Great images too
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe how grown up she looks! She has always been gorgeous, so that is no surprise. You photography is always such a visual treat.

I figured it was time for a Summer Special. So if you book your session between now and August 30th, you will get a free session fee with every Collection. That’s right, if you order a digital or print collection, then the session fee is free. Each session last about 90 minutes. The session fee of $125.00 is due within 7 days of booking your session, but if you choose to order a Collection, you will be credited $125.00 off the price of the Collection.

So hurry and take advantage of a great special. Sessions must be completed by 8/30/08 so book now while there are still availability .
I am looking for a few outgoing Senior Reps for ‘09. I will be choosing 2 Reps from each high school in Corona and Riverside .
Each Rep will receive a full free senior session and 50 Rep Cards to give out to other seniors at school. Each referral you will get, you will make $10.00 cash. (paid after the refferal pays their session fee). Each Rep will also get a discount on prints/files. This is a great way to have AWESOME senior photos at a discount just for telling all your friends about Therese Marie Photography.
Reps must sign a models release to be used in promo advertising such as my website, blog and marketing materials. If you are interested, contact me by either phone or email. (theresemariephotography@yahoo.com or 951-277-2879)
