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.

Fall fun family and more…

A love like no other…Nancy and Paul

I have never met a more in love, adorable couple in my life. I had strangers stopping and commenting on how in love they were. And talk about fun, we laughed the whole time. I knew of Nancy on a photography forum, they are both professional photographers. So I was completely honored that they hired me to capture their “love story”.
Remember, capturing precious moments are not just for for your children. Why not do this session for someone you love like your parents or grandparents?

You can see the whole love story here on a slideshow…

The FUNtastic family…

This family was so much fun. I just loved meeting them. I was so excited to even see the kids dressed in their cheer and football uniforms.
They look like the All American Family to me.
Here are a few…




Two cute…

I have not see these 2 darling girls in a year, and wow the baby is not a baby anymore. She reminds me of Tom Cruse daughter. Aren’t they adorable?

Speed racer, and big sis.

OMG the last time I photographed this little boy was 2 yrs ago and he was only crawling. (he is the same baby in a carriage on my website)
I have photographed a lot of toddlers,but never one this fast. I thought I had the shot and would look at my camera and he was gone. So I gasped when I saw these. There are a bunch more this cute, but here are a couple. Oh and his adorable sister too.
Oh look at my banner on the top here, when it gets to familys. That is both these kids with their mom, 2 yrs ago. Look at how much they have grown up.
I can’t wait to show his parents.
