Meet Courtney who drove 3 hours from Arcadia, FL for her senior shoot…

IN HER OWN WORDS:

“My family and I hesitated when it came to my senior pictures because we wanted my photos to have quality and life to them… We wanted to be able to look back in ten years and say, “Wow, this is exactly how I remember Courtney when she was younger.” I personally wanted to be able to feel something special when I looked at each picture. My family didn’t know of any senior photographers in our area so I started looking up “photographers near me” and TADA!, we found the lovely Theresa Marie. I started looking on the TM website and all of her beautiful work instantly caught my eye. Right then, I knew that my mom and I had to book my shoot.

My overall experience was out of this world. Everything was PERFECT. It was by far the best senior experience that I have had so far. My favorite part was how Theresa Marie and I instantly bonded. It felt like we had been friends for years, which made the shoot a little less nerve-racking. Another favorite was how insanely down to earth and goofy Theresa Marie was/is. I was cracking up the whole shoot and for that alone, I will remember this experience forever.

I wouldn’t have changed a thing… Except for maybe mother nature (i thought it was supposed to be cold in November, lol).

When I saw my images for the first time, they took my breath away (still do). I didn’t know that I could actually look so elegant and beautiful. I have no words to explain my reaction and the way the images made me feel. They were mind blowing and they were better than i could have ever imagined.

Choose Theresa Marie! Not only is she amazing, but her photography skills are also amazing. She has made my dream of having perfect senior pictures come true; as well as many other seniors I’m sure. Theresa Marie makes you feel like you matter, not just getting the right picture. She made sure my pictures were 110% me and she made sure I was comfortable all throughout the shoot and never once did I feel uncomfortable. Theresa Marie is the way to go. You won’t get better senior pictures anywhere else, I’m sure of it.”

All I can say is thank you SO much, Theresa Marie! My photos are phenomenal! I can honestly say that I never thought my pictures would turn out as well as they did, but they are better than i could have ever imagined. Every time I look at one of my pictures, I stand in disbelief because I never knew that I could look so beautiful… Thanks to you I have THE best senior pictures. I wouldn’t have changed a thing even if I could have. The pictures are beyond perfect! As for the experience, it will be remembered for a lifetime. Thank you, again! You’re the absolute best.”
