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.

Arman…

March 6, 2010 – 10:23 pm

WOW what a kid. I first met Arman 2 yrs ago when I did his portfolio for a modeling agency in LA. I am so proud of what he has done in the last 2 yrs and he is only 7. I am sure he is on one of your kids toy boxes or catalogs. Or maybe you have seen his commercials. I told him back then that I new he had star quality and I was right. I can’t wait to see where the future takes this talented, fun and adorable little guy. Here are a few from our last session last weekend.

my beautiful daughter…

October 18, 2009 – 7:06 pm

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.
