Meet Terese who graduated from Steinbrenner High School…

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!”

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

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).”

Meet Megan who graduated from Plant City High School last spring…

IN HER OWN WORDS:

“I wanted a photographer that would capture me in a way that was timeless, not cheesy like a lot of senior pictures are. I found Theresa through google and did some researching and fell in love with her style. After talking with her on the phone I knew I could trust her to give me a perfect senior shoot.

It was an awesome experience. I knew I didn’t need to stress because I was in good hands! My favorite part was getting my makeup done and planning the shoot because we could just laugh and get excited for what was to come! At my reveal I was truly blown away…I felt beautiful!! I love my pictures so much.

I am so grateful that I found Theresa. She gave me such a unique senior experience and it was truly the cherry on top of my final months as a senior! Not only does she do beautiful work, but she makes you feel so special. Everything Theresa does is done with care and detail in mind. If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing!!

Theresa doesn’t just take pictures, edit them, and give you your order. She makes it a whole experience. From her Snapchat stories to her adorable ‘Pink Starburst’ notes, she makes you feel so special. She is the most detail-oriented person I’ve met and I feel like I can honestly call her a friend. My pictures are everything I could have dreamed of and more. She captured the essence of who I am. Theresa’s style is so tasteful and I know I will love these pictures until I’m 80!”

Please meet Alexa who is a graduating senior from Palm Harbor University High School…

IN HER OWN WORDS:
“I was a bit hesitant to get my pictures taken because I never really liked being in front of the camera. However, my mom found Theresa Marie online while searching for photographers and we both liked not only the quality of the pictures we saw on her website, but how friendly Theresa was.

My experience with Theresa Marie was great. I loved the variety of outfits and locations that I was able to do with her, it really helped me get comfortable taking pictures. I have to say my favorite part about the shoot was when we were near the pink flowers in downtown Palm Harbor. Theresa really knows the best places to get pictures taken!

I was absolutely amazed when I saw my images! I loved everything about them – the poses the locations etc. It was truly amazing to see them. Theresa Marie really puts emphasis on the senior during the experience. She got to know who I am and what I was comfortable with. That made the pictures even more personal and special.”

my DREAM job would be:
A teacher. And I don’t mean that in the typical, school education sense. I mean it in a way that I want to be able to teach anybody of any age skills and knowledge that will truly help them later in life. This is why I want to be a speech therapist.

if I inherited a million bucks today, I would:
Use the money to pay off family debts and for college funds. I would save some of it for later life and for my children. Hmm, charity (specifically for food, health, and education), travel. I would want to get exotic food, and use the money for living purposes.

my favorite place to shop is:
Forever 21 and Staples (I’m crazy over supply stores I’m not really sure why)

my favorite snack foods are:
Popcorn and fruit.

something I have too much of:
Blankets/pillows/stuffed animals. I will always want more comfort.

TV show I’m currently addicted to:
Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries

a movie that makes me happy:
We’re the Miller’s

a movie that makes me cry:
I cry soo much – just at anything lol. I’ve cried at movies such as Ghost, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Rent (this one was the worst I think), What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. I even sob watching Teen Wolf. So idk I’m just really emotional with everything.

my favorite color is:
ahhh this is hard. I’m sorry I can’t pick just one. My favorite pallet is a light blue, blush pink, and a pale gray.

one thing I couldnt live without:
My blanket. It’s green and white crochet. I’ve had it since I was two. Over the years it’s split and so now I have about 4 or 5 different parts to it. 1 part I gave to my boyfriend. My blanket always comforts me. I like to rub my fingers on it, especially in the morning. It’s kind of like my contact comfort.

my favorite book or magazine:
Books: The Curable Romantic, The Harry Potter Series, The Hunger Games, Kafka on the Shore, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Magazines: Psychology Today, The Scientific American, National Geographic

my favorite high school memory is:
Going to Coastline Festival, an indie music concert series in Tampa. I was with a few good, but not necessarily really close, friends, but there I felt really free and happy experiencing music that got me through my first two years of high school. During that time I was fighting with my boyfriend, and although I love being with him, I just will always remember the immense joy I felt at being away from it all and surrounded by the exciting live music of Passion Pit and Matt and Kim. I’ve been to many concerts but that was by far my most favorite and really the only one I truly danced to.

What would be the THEME SONG to your life?
Intro – The XX

5 things on my life bucket list are:
Go to London again, visit Portland and India, go to a major EDM concert/festival, help somebody hear/communicate, learn sign language
