“My experience with Tricia was absolutely perfect.  From the start, Tricia has been professional and fabulous.  Before meeting, I was a little bit hesitant just because I had never really done anything like this.  I was soon relieved after we hit it off and soon became best friends.  Throughout the whole process, Tricia has made me feel so comfortable and beautiful.  She worked with deadlines and my crazy schedule and I couldn’t thank her enough for that.  I had such a fun time at my shoot and the pictures exceeded my wildest expectations.  I would highly recommend Tricia to any senior who wants a professional, personal, and fun photographer.  Thanks for letting me “slay the scene” with you for the day!”

“From the first time we contacted Tricia Toker Photography, we were treated with professionalism!  Not only is she talented and creative, she knows how to run her business!  She is organized, a fabulous coach and creative!  She has a natural talent for making the girls feel relaxed through out the photo shoot.  Megan had a really fun day, she felt beautiful and looked like a star!  The final product was incredible.  I am mostly impressed with the phone app too!  I have used it a lot more than I thought I would to show our friends and family and to enjoy reminding me of what a great young lady we have and how she will be missed when she heads off to college.  Thank you Tricia for a great experience!”

It’s always an honor when a high school senior travels to have me photograph their senior portraits.   Bella attends Allatoona High School and had to travel all the way from Acworth – twice.  The first time we tried to have her senior session, out of nowhere  - rain.  And not the quick out of the blue rain that’s here one second and gone the next second.  Nope, not this time.  It was the nasty stick around for hours drizzle and gloomy dark skies.  :(  I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed.  Nowhere in the forecast showed any rain that morning and even the radar showed no rain exactly where we were, at that exact moment.  The rain didn’t let up though, so we had to postpone the session.  Then, our next date, again sunshine in the forecast and for the first stop, that’s exactly what we had.  Then outfit number two, the clouds rolled in and the winds picked up a little.  Not gonna lie, panic started creeping in a little.  Bella was a trooper through it all though and despite me bumping into a curb and totally ruining my tire, we all made it through the session!  And I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome.  I absolutely love Bella’s images!!   Let’s be honest though, Bella’s beautiful smile and super sweet personality could brighten up any gloomy day!  :)

Want to see strong and courageous…this is Meredith.  Without a doubt, one of the strongest young ladies that I have ever met.

We don’t often meet people that make us take a long, hard look at ourselves and realize that some of the things that we think are important, really aren’t so significant after all.  We don’t often get to meet people that face challenges every day and yet they put on a happy face every time we see them.

Meredith did all this and more every time I spoke to her or met with her.  Without even trying or maybe even realizing it, Meredith touched my life in ways I’m sure she didn’t even realize, but I have to thank her.  For her laughter, her resilience and for just being silly.  And oh yeah, for telling me that having her senior portraits and going to see Katy Perry were the highlights of her senior year.  That was pretty darn cool!  ;)

“I was the one who led the search for a senior portrait photographer.  Chloe, was overwhelmed with school work, so I was happy to take charge.  I am extremely particular about how I spend my money.  I want to receive the highest quality for my money and want the very best product, especially when it comes to capturing such an important moment in our daughter’s life.  I found three photographers in the area who I considered to be the top in senior photography, and there are some amazing photographers.  For me, there was something really special about Tricia’s work–the light, the softness, the sparkle in the girls’ eyes that beamed their personalities out of the pictures.  Chloe loved Tricia’s work, so we contacted her.

Tricia and I began talking in mid-April and we shot in late May.  In that period, I madly researched locations and outfit ideas. Tricia has great ideas on her Pinterest page.  We used Pinterest to exchange ideas on everything from location, to outfits, makeup, hair and accessories.  I wanted everything to be just right, so I created boards for each look. Tricia commented on colors and let me know what she thought looked great.  It was so fun planning it and Chloe and I enjoyed all the anticipation up to the photo shoot. It was our little mother/daughter project, putting together cute ideas.  One of the things that pleased me most, during this planning period, was Tricia’s excitement about the chosen location and her willingness to meet me there to check it out and meet with the necessary people. 

My favorite memory from the day of the shoot was seeing how happy Chloe was.  Tricia used makeup artist Laura Briscoe, and she made Chloe’s natural beauty radiate.  I was worried that Chloe would be stiff and uncomfortable, but Tricia made her feel very relaxed and really knew how to connect with her to get some stunning images.  Tricia has a demeanor and personality that make you feel comfortable, both mother and daughter.  

Tricia was a consummate professional, and I had high expectations.  Despite it being a very busy time in her life, being in the middle of closing on a new home and moving into that home, Tricia always made us feel that she was putting us first.  She had also suffered an injury during that move, but she didn’t let it get in the way on the day of the shoot.  I kept forgetting that she was hurt, because she had that “the show must go on” attitude. 

Everything culminated in the Premier Order session.  Chloe, her dad, and I met with Tricia.  Tricia showed us a slide show that included some sweet and sometimes silly video out-takes from the photo shoot.  I didn’t expect it to be as moving an experience as it was; I got teary eyed.  The images were beyond our expectations and took my breath away.

Each step along the way–the planning, the day of the shoot, and the order session–was an entirely first class experience.  I highly recommend Tricia!”
