My Story

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.

Love of hats, art and my daughter

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?

SUMMER SPECIAL

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.

Looking for Seniors ‘09 Reps

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)
