As you already know, there have been lots of changes this year…new website, logo, blog.  Along with those changes, I had to make new business cards and decided to update my packaging.   I can’t show you the complete packaging yet until I put it all together to mail out.  That will happen though in the next few days.  Since some of you have been asking for pictures of these new items, I’ll give you a little preview in the meantime.

I really love the new business cards.  I designed and purchased these through Moo.com.  The reason I chose Moo.com is because you can upload your own pictures and have many different images on your cards instead of being restricted to one single style or type of card.   I have 25 different images on my cards, but you can see a few below.  I also purchased new cd mailers and some really cute packing tape.  I didn’t want some boring run of the mill packing tape, so I searched for some decorative tape.  I had no idea the varieties out there to choose from…so many decisions, but I went with Tapeswell.com.  Love, love, love all their cute styles!  Lastly, I ordered some thank you cards and a stamp, both with the new logo.  I really wanted the new packaging to reflect my style: fun, funky with a little bit of edge but some softness too.  :)

Let me know what you think so far, but definitely check back with me later when I put all the pieces together!!

I was so happy when Cher decided to meet me out on a Sunday afternoon and was open to all my locations, ideas and mostly didn’t even care if she got dirty.  I, however, am not as partial to dust and dirt, but Cher didn’t care a bit when we trekked, in complete darkness, across the soggy ground.  Did I mention she did this in a short black dress and black heels, while helping me carry all my stuff?!?  :)

Cher took some amazing pictures.  I wish I could show you all of them, but then this post would be ridiculously long and I would like for you to come back again!  :)   I was so excited about the different locations.  The broken barricade, I passed one morning on the way to work and thought, “oh my goodness, I have to find someone to photograph there!”  Lucky for me, Cher didn’t care where I took her.  Thanks for putting up with all my crazy ideas Cher – hope you enjoy the pictures!  :)

If any of you out there have any suggestions of other cool locations, please send me an email.  I am always looking for random locations, but I don’t really get to drive around exploring a lot.  I would love to see what is out there that I could incorporate into a fun photo shoot!

enough of that…I’ll stop talking already and show you the pictures!

I’m soooo happy to announce that the new website and blog are finally here!   It was a lot of late nights and a lot of work, but I can’t wait for everyone to see it.   If you are looking for any of the old blog entries, no need to go back to the old blog.  You can find everything here!  Please take some time to look around the site and let me know what you think!

I’ll be posting more later.  I have some exciting photo shoots coming up later this month, plus I need to finish editing the shoot from Sunday.  If you missed the sneak peek on Facebook – it’s right here!  Super excited to show off more from this one!

Check out the size of the image!  That’s one of the main reasons I wanted a new blog.   Now I can actually show you images as they should be seen and not small like my old blog.   All posts moving forward will have large images like the one below.

So that’s it for now – that’s the big announcement!  I hope you all like the new home for Tricia Toker Photography and I think the website address should be a lot easier to remember now.  :)
