Behind the Lens

Meet Theresa

 

A bit about me

Hi, I’m Theresa!


Since October 2014, I’ve been capturing the beauty of motherhood, the chaos of family life, and the fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered forever.


So, here I am. This is me.


I’m the heart behind Theresa Burkhart Photography, specializing in maternity, newborn, and family photography for parents who want more than just snapshots, they want images that feel alive, vibrant, and full of emotion.


Why I Get It

I know what it’s like to want beautiful photos of your family, but also to worry about the chaos that comes with them. As a single mom of two energetic boys, I’ve mastered the art of working with little ones, turning their restlessness into joy and capturing their genuine personalities.


I also understand the insecurities that can come with being in front of the camera. I know what it’s like to feel self-conscious, especially after becoming a mom. That’s why I focus on posing that flatters, moments that feel natural, and a photography experience that makes you feel confident and comfortable.


My Style & Approach

I believe in picture-perfect portraits with a lively, colorful twist. Every session includes those frame-worthy, polished shots, but I also leave room for the unposed, candid moments - the giggles, the twirls, the soft glances that truly tell your story. I keep an eye on every detail, from fixing a stray hair to adjusting a pose, so that when you look at your photos, you see yourself at your absolute best.


When I’m not behind the camera, you can probably find me:

📍 Driving through the countryside, blasting music and chasing sunsets.

☕ Missing drive-through coffee stands from the U.S. (Dutch Bros, you have my heart).

🌙 Embracing my night owl tendencies, though early mornings with my kids don’t exactly agree with me.

🌎 Obsessing over languages - I studied German, English, Arabic and Spanish (but let’s not test my Spanish skills!).

💛 Surrounded by my favorite color - yellow!


Let’s Create Something Beautiful

Whether we’re capturing the glow of expecting moms, the tiny details of a newborn, or the laughter of a wild and free family session, I promise to make your experience stress-free, fun, and filled with magic.


So if you’re looking for a photographer who understands kids, chaos, and the beauty in the in-between moments, let’s make it happen. I’d love to help tell your story.
