Maddie :: Ohio Senior
 

 

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.

Anna :: Pennsylvania Senior

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!”

IN HER OWN WORDS:
“For years, I have envisioned my senior photos and upon seeing Theresa Marie’s work instantly knew that I wanted her as my senior photographer! Before discovering Theresa Marie, I worried that my senior photos would appear stuffy or look unnatural. However, as soon as I saw Theresa Marie’s work, my worries disappeared! 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!

When I first saw my images I was in awe! My images were everything I imagined and more! I couldn’t stop smiling! Theresa Marie is so talented and really captured my personality in each picture–I will cherish them forever!

Lindsay | Braulio Alonso High School Class of 2014

Meet Lindsay (and her beautiful horse, Cookie) who will be graduating with the 2014 Senior Class at Braulio Alonso High School in Tampa…

“My grandpa is also a photographer and normally takes all of our family pictures, so we were having trouble figuring out just how to choose the perfect photographer. Two of my friends had their senior pictures taken by Theresa Marie and their pictures were stunning! On top of that they could not stop talking about what a wonderful person she is, so that ultimately did us in!

My experience was more than I could have hoped for! I had emailed back forth with and spoken to Theresa Marie multiple times on the phone so I knew she was going to be fantastic! My expectations were exceeded when I met her. I was immediately comfortable around her and felt as if I had known her for years!

My mom and I both cried when we saw the pictures! I had been worried that I wouldnt recognize who I was when I saw them but Theresa Marie doesn’t cover up who you are, she just makes you look like the best version of yourself.

I will for sure be recommending Theresa Marie to people. She connects with her clients on a whole different level and makes herself part of an exciting day during senior year! When I look back on my senior year I know the day of my photo shoot will forever stick out in my mind.”
