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.

Beautiful family…

I was so excited to photography this lovely family at one of my favorite locations. They were so sweet and the girls wanted to have photos with my umbrellas.
Here is just a few of so many favorites that I have.



America’s next Top Petite Models are…..

Megan and Tammy, Both these girls are die hard ANTM fans. So it made it so fun and easy to do their session. Remember if your a senior and you don’t want to do a full session alone, you can share one with a friend. It really makes is sooooo much fun. Here is a sample of some but you can join my Facebook Page to see the rest. /blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/megan1009-234-edit-copy.jpg” alt=”" title=”megan1009-234-edit-copy” width=”580″ height=”414″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-519″ />





my beautiful daughter…

I did something different, played with my friend Kathleen’s studio lights. Little did my daughter know, but she was going to be the subject of our shoot. I just love these photos of her. I did nothing to her eyes, they are just lights and a cool eyelighter reflector that Kathleen had.



Red hair and blue eyed beautiful Senior

Isn’t she beautiful, that awesome hair and stunning eyes? I was excited to do Danielle’s senior photos this year because I did her older sisters senior photos last summer and Danielle was so helpful holding the reflector for me. I told her that she would have her turn and the day came.
Here is just a few of my many favorites.
