Meet Terese who graduated from Steinbrenner High School with the class of 2016…

IN HER OWN WORDS:

“I chose Theresa Marie because I didn’t want my pictures to look so staged and tacky like they do when you get them done in front of the screens. I had an amazing time and loved every part of it. I felt like a princess and was completely comfortable. Getting to meet Theresa Marie was my favorite part, we clicked right away and she made it so much fun! When I first saw my images, I was shocked! I couldn’t believe it was me, I looked amazing!

I wouldn’t change anything about my experience! I had so much fun! The only thing I would change would be having more time to take pictures because it was so much fun! I would tell other seniors how sweet and kind Theresa Marie is! She makes you feel comfortable right away and her pictures are amazing! It’s the best experience I’ve ever had!

Doing my senior pictures with Theresa Marie was the best thing I did all senior year! She made me feel so special and comfortable in front of the camera! My pictures turned out amazing and I know they’ll be something I will treasure forever! I wish I could do this again!”

Maddie :: Ohio Senior Class of 2016
 

 

Meet Maddie who came all the way from Ohio…


IN HER OWN WORDS:

"Coming from Ohio, we were hesitant to get my pictures taken really anywhere but our local area. But after some research, and a Florida vacation planned, Theresa Marie came into the picture and we took a change and it was well worth it! I knew the experience was going to be amazing once I walked into her office. From getting my makeup done, picking out outfits, driving to the beach and the pictures themselves, my parents and I were all so excited. My favorite part was taking pictures on the beach because that was a dream I’ve always had, to get my senior pictures done on a beach. It truly was a dream come true.

I was more than pleased when I saw my pictures. Theresa Marie captured my true personality and happiness in her pictures. I have never been so pleased with pictures of myself. I would not have changed anything about my experience. It all was flawless! I would recommend Theresa Marie to any parents or seniors, not only because she is a great photographer, but because of her personality. I think her personality was the thing that, after my pictures were over, my parents and I were so blown away by. It was meant to be that we picked her to take my senior pictures.

I knew nothing about photographers in the area since we came to Florida for a vacation. After hearing about Theresa Marie and looking at her website, I knew I found the right photographer. Once the time came for my pictures, I was nervous and anxious because I knew nothing about her and her business, other than from her website. But the anxiety quickly vanished once we finally met. I knew I had made the right choice very quickly, and the day of my shoot was one I will never forget. Theresa Marie made my senior picture shoot so memorable, and I can never thank her enough for that!"

My role models are:
My parents because they have given me a life one could only dream of, my brothers for showing me how important family is, my art teacher for helping me do what I do best, my hairdresser because I adore her personality more than anyone I ever met, and my best friend Sydney for keeping me sane.

Meet Lauren who will be graduating from Osceola Fundamental High School in 2016…

 

IN HER OWN WORDS:

“All senior photos seemed the same until we found Theresa Marie’s web site. The images captured the spirit and personalities of the people and just seemed so “alive”. My overall experience with Theresa Marie was fabulous. From start to finish, the experience was first class. When we first saw the images, my mom cried and I thought they were so amazing.

I would change nothing about my experience – it was wonderful! Theresa Marie is super and parents really should consider giving their kids this kind of experience. I felt like a princess the whole time, and really enjoyed my time in front of the camera. Theresa Marie made me feel comfortable being myself, which made my photos come out looking like the true me and how I feel inside (rather than some fake smile).”

Shaina :: Wisconsin Senior Class of 2016
 

 

Meet Shaina who traveled all the way from Wisconsin just for her senior photos…

IN HER OWN WORDS:
“I’m from Wisconsin, so my family’s biggest hesitation was the distance and how Theresa and I would communicate about my senior photos. We had very minimal face to face meetings. Although we had limited time together, Theresa made it very easy for us to communicate and talk via email and the phone. The price of her photography also made my parent’s hesitant, but Theresa definitely made it worth it!

I chose Theresa Marie because I fell in love with her photos that I’ve seen on her blog! I could not stop stalking her website, it was literally perfect. Her photos looked so natural and not too edited. Theresa easily captured not only the person, but their personality. I loved working with Theresa Marie! She made me feel so comfortable when she was taking the photos. I didn’t feel self conscious or anything. What I love the most about her is that she alters the photography session and the reveal based off my interests. Theresa Marie let me make my decisions and she helped guide me too.

My favorite part was the reveal, I was literally speechless. It was fun, looking through the photos and designing my photo heirloom. I did not believe it was me at all. I felt good about myself, and that’s what I love about Theresa Marie. She made me feel beautiful, which is what made my experience with her special. I wouldn’t have change anything! The preparation, the shoot, and the reveal was perfect. She did everything she could to make my family and I happy with my senior photos. She exceeded beyond my family and I’s expectations.

I would recommend everyone to get their senior photos taken by Theresa Marie because she does everything she can to make you feel comfortable and happy with not only your photos, but the experience itself. It’s not all about the photos, it’s about the preparation. Theresa Marie was not only my photographer, but she was also a great friend. She didn’t even like my photographer, that’s how comfortable I was with her! I am so blessed to have worked with someone so talented. Theresa Marie truly captures the personality and emotion in the photos, and I could not be anymore content with how everything turned out. I had such a great experience and I wish I could relive my experience with her!”

My role model is:
My mother for sure! She has gone a long way from where she has come from. Many people, even her family, doubted her when she was young. But she proved them wrong and succeeded. She is the main reason why I am here today in America, all thanks to her hard work and I could not be anymore thankful for what she has given me.

Nicole :: Seven Rivers Christian School Senior Class of 2016
 

 

Meet Nicole Bell who will be graduating from Seven Rivers Christian School in 2016…

IN HER OWN WORDS:

“My biggest hesitation about getting senior pictures done was the fear that they would look forced, fake, or just cheesy. However, we chose Theresa Marie because each and every client in her gallery looked like they were having a genuinely good time and she brought out everyone’s natural beauty. The whole process was fun instead of overwhelming. From cracking jokes during the photoshoot to picking the perfect canvas to take home, each moment was unforgettable.

My favorite part was getting my hair and makeup done while eating snacks and just talking with Theresa. I felt so pampered! I felt confident and when I saw my images at the reveal I was amazed! I didn’t know I could look anything like those pictures portrayed! I think the hardest part was just waiting for the pictures because I was so excited! Otherwise, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Before I walked into the Theresa Marie Studio, I was a self-concious, nervous senior! I knew I wanted to have pictures done for my senior year, but I was so nervous to have to pose and have my picture taken. I chose Theresa Marie because of how natural and genuine her pictures looked and I made the right decsion!

Theresa loves what she does and she cares about her clients. Before the photoshoot she asks for you to fill out a survey so she can get to know you and bring your true self out in your photos! She pampers you when you get there and makes you laugh through the whole shoot! Nothing was awkward or forced! You need Theresa as your senior photographer!”

Anna :: Pennsylvania Senior Class of 2016

Meet Anna who is a high school senior all the way from Pennsylvania…

IN HER OWN WORDS:
“I wasn’t sure where I wanted my senior portraits to be taken, and I wasn’t sure if the senior photographer that I’d choose would be able to capture the real me. I chose Theresa Marie because her images were breathtaking and real– they were images that seemed to capture perfect moments of each and every senior. I was nervous because I had never taken photos like this before, especially a lot of them! I wanted to be comfortable and Theresa made me feel like I was at a home away from home.

Theresa made me feel extremely welcome and appreciated. She made my nerves disappear and I soon became excited moments after meeting her for the first time. I loved playing music and just being myself, taking photos while I rocked out and laughed and smiled a lot. Theresa really encouraged the real me to shine through!

 My images exceeded my expectations in so many ways! I was in awe! I was so happy with what was produced. My favorite image was captured with my ukulele on the beach, which signifies such an importance of music in my life.

Theresa Marie will make your senior portrait experience worth the while! She is so personable and made me feel (and look) like a superstar! She made me feel so special with my senior picture experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better time!  Thank you so much!”

Meet Avery who came all the way from Kansas for her senior shoot…

IN HER OWN WORDS:
“We were all very hesitant at first that we were going to take my senior pictures (a huge milestone in my life) all the way in Florida! We had never heard of anyone from around where I live going to the Clearwater area for pictures so we had no idea where to even start! I got online to look around and as soon as I saw Theresa’s pictures and how amazing they were I knew she was going to be the one!

There are no words to explain how truly amazing my experience was. Theresa was so uplifting and made me feel beautiful in front of the camera! My absolute favorite part was how I didn’t even feel like I was taking pictures at times, we were having so much fun!

It was such an amazing experience; I would not have changed a single thing! She will capture every quirk possible of yours to remember your entire life. Theresa Marie does so much more than just take pictures, she captures your inner and outer beauty! She taught to be my own kind of beautiful!

I chose Theresa Marie because her photos seemed to capture personality and happiness. I also loved Theresa Marie’s use of beautiful outdoor settings and how she makes each picture unique!

The experience was even better than I could have imagined and it exceeded all of my expectations! Theresa Marie’s enthusiasm was infectious and made me even more excited for my shoot. She is the sweetest person ever and made me feel super special!

While I loved the reveal of the images, my favorite part of the experience was the shoot, especially on location at the beach. While I am usually hesitant to have my picture taken, Theresa Marie made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and the entire shoot was so much fun! The day was an absolute blast and was a great way to start my senior year! It’s a day I’ll never forget!

I could really tell that she loves what she does and that she genuinely cares for her seniors.

My photo shoot could not have gone any better. I was so excited and Theresa Marie made me feel super comfortable in front of the camera. I felt like a superstar and that’s how you should feel. Oh my gosh, when I saw my images I was speechless! I loved every single one she showed me, they were better than I ever imagined they would be.
