Alex ~ Pace Academy ~ Atlanta GA ~ {Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Dacula ~ Senior Photographer}
April 1, 2015From our very first meeting, I knew that I was going to love photographing Alex’s senior portraits.
Both Alex and her mom Judy have so much style. Like tons. I can only hope a little rubbed off on me. ;) The outfits these two put together would make the Kardashian-Jenners drool. No joke! From scarf necklaces to stingray rings, I had serious accessory envy.
The fabulousness didn’t end there though, I was positively giddy when Judy told me the locations they had in mind.
Sit back and enjoy, because these aren’t your mama’s senior portraits, people – not even close.

Chic Magazine {Issue 7} ~ Cover Contest
August 18, 2013Guess what day it is?? Nope – not Hump day and this isn’t the Geico Camel commercial, although, I do love that commercial! :)
It’s actually the final day to enter Chic Critique Forum‘s Chic Magazine Cover Contest!
I am so excited to enter one of Kathryn Dickerson’s images from our Once Upon a Summer styled shoot! This is my submission for Issue 7!
Wish me luck! I would be ecstatic to see this on the cover. *fingers crossed* Every little bit helps right?! ;) Have a great weekend everyone!

I wasn’t sure that this shoot would ever happen. We’d been planning since last year…literally. We had husbands building spinning wheels and aunts making custom tulle skirts and tutus. We had model recasts and location changes. We had to postpone three different times due to weather and oh yeah…the police showed up on the day of the shoot!
So you can see, it’s like the little engine that could – except it’s “Once Upon a Summer” and here is your sneak peek…

Chic Magazine {Issue 6} ~ Cover Contest
May 23, 2013If you’ve been following the blog at all lately, you may already know how much I adore Greater Atlanta Christian’s Kayla Puzas and her recent senior session! It’s probably no surprise then that I would select one of her images as my submission for Issue 6 of the Chic Critique Forum‘s Chic Magazine Cover Contest. :)

“After looking for weeks for a photographer for her Senior Portfolio shots, my daughter chose Tricia Toker. She definitely chose the right photographer. From the first meeting Tricia and Devan hit it off. Tricia has a fun energy that my 18 year old responded to immediately. After the first meeting it was full speed ahead.
The day for the shoot was a cold day. Despite the weather, Tricia could pull so much out of Devan on film. The experience was so much fun for her: from the beginning with Laura Briscoe doing make up, to the shoot itself. The day was full of laughter! It was not a chore for Devan. Despite the cold, she would have gone on forever.
Tricia can relate so naturally to a teen girl that she brings out amazing shots. She puts them at ease. They forget anyone is watching. It was just her and Tricia having a blast, trying new things. Tricia has a vision through the camera that is incredible. This has not just been a business adventure. I believe the two have cemented a great friendship as well.
Devan now cannot get enough time in front of a camera!”

“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!”

January 1, 2013I just wanted to Thank all of my wonderful clients, friends, family and everyone else who made 2012 such a wonderful year.
I used to try to do a year end top 10, but I gave up that because I could never narrow it down. I still can’t, so here are just a FEW favorites from this year:
I hope that 2013 brings each of you many more magical memories! :)

Featured ~ Seniorologie ~ {Atlanta, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Lawenceville, Surrounding Areas – Senior Portrait Photographer}
August 24, 2012A few weeks ago, the website Seniorologie announced they would be celebrating their one year birthday! In addition to celebrating all month with birthday related giveaways and posts, they wanted to see any other photographers’ birthday concept shoots. Early this week, I was soooo incredibly excited to see a birthday shoot that I put together featured on their website! Click here for the Seniorologie post and read all about my inspiration for the shoot. Then come back here and scroll down for more from this fun shoot!
Some of the fun details….cake topper, mini cameras, “Dots” rings!
Ribbons, and scrap paper confetti made with my shredder!
I don’t know about you guys, but I have a list for everything! Sometimes 2 lists! ;) My doggie helper of the day!
When I decided to order 30 balloons, I didn’t even think about transporting them (which became a tangled mess)
and then where to keep them until the shoot!
I absolutely adore these little vintage looking cameras!
After all the prop preparation – it’s Makeup time!
And then finally….it all comes together!
I was trying not to duplicate images that were in the Seniorologie post, but I have to share this one again, because I literally have had this idea in my head for years! I have always wanted to recreate different memorable movie scenes and this shoot was perfect to recreate the final scene from the movie “Sixteen Candles!” Make a Wish!
Thanks to Leslie from Seniorologie for creating such an awesome resource for senior portrait photographers. If it weren’t for your “birthday,” I probably wouldn’t have had a reason to pull this all together!
By the way…if anyone can get me access to a school (legally, of course), I have lots of other memorable movie scenes that I would love to recreate!
*wink, wink, but seriously!*
And lastly, you must go watch the video from this shoot!! and don’t miss the Outtakes! :)
