I am soooo incredibly behind on blogging! BUT I need to catch you all up (and then I promise to really catch up over the next month or so). :)
I thought I would get caught up during the winter months. Anyone who follows photography or is a photographer knows that usually during winter months, you have a time to catch up. I have been fortunate enough though to have some relatively busy recent months, whether it be personally or professionally. Because of this, I want to take some time to acknowledge those photographers who have really made me the photographer that I am today.
Looking back, I have had such good intentions…I have taken workshops (and intended to blog every last second) and really found the person / photographer that I hope to be one day. Am I there yet? No way! I always see room for improvement and potential to be more than I am right now.
Over the past year and a half, I have learned from Zack Arias (off camera flash extraordinaire), Susan Stripling (master at wedding photography and light), and where I credit my personal successes in Senior Portrait Photography: Seniorologie / Leslie Kerrigan and Amanda Holloway. You see, if I hadn’t attended the workshops that I have or studied endlessly, I wouldn’t be the photographer that I have become.
You should never stop with education when it comes to photography and really learning in general. I met Leslie Kerrigan and Amanda Holloway in April 2012. I can, without a doubt, say that I wouldn’t be the person / photographer that I am today without these two ladies. I can’t thank them enough, but more importantly, I hope that everyone recognizes those individuals that have helped them along the way, whatever the path may be. For me, it’s these photographers I have mentioned and my husband and family and every friend who has ever listened to me go on and on….thank you, every last one of you! I may not say it enough, but I hope that you all know how much I cherish you. And for the help that you all have provided to me personally or professionally…Thank You, truly.
I’ll have more later from Seniorologie & Amanda Holloway, but in the meantime, here are a few images from all of those workshops that I have mentioned.
Zack Arias’ One Light Workshop – September 2011
Susan Stripling’s Workshop – March 2012
Seniorologie Tour Atlanta - April 2012
Seniorologie / The Savvy Photographer Shoot Out – January 2013
Amanda Holloway’s Kitchen Sink Workshop – February 2013
Whether you know it or not, Zack, Susan, Leslie, & Amanda, you have all made a difference to me personally and professionally & that means the world!

Again…playing catch up!
Today’s preview comes from a styled shoot from last November. Most of you know of my obsession with Halloween and scary movies, so here’s a peek from this shoot.
Any guesses on the movies? One should be pretty obvious! ;)

“My daughter Maili found Tricia Toker through Facebook and was telling me about wanting to use Tricia to do her Senior pictures while she was in her Junior year. I was not sure what to expect so I researched Tricia’s website and liked her Facebook page as well, so that I could become familiar with her style and work. My daughter is famous for wanting to do something and changing her mind at the last minute, however with Tricia this was not the case! Maili insisted on using Tricia for her Senior pictures and I am glad we did.
Maili’s pictures came out better than I could have ever expected. The heart and soul that Tricia puts into her work makes using the word “work” to describe what she does an understatement. You can see the passion and dedication that Tricia has for photography in every shot she takes!
Tricia’s photos exceeded all of my expectations, which made eliminating shots of our daughter nearly impossible! I would recommend Tricia Toker Photography for anyone who is looking for a Senior Photographer who will truly capture the true beauty of their daughter and make the day 100% about them and the vision they had in mind for their Senior pictures!”
