One of my favorites.  Now, let me tell you, Kelsey is one of those girls that can get her leg WAY up there.

I caught this one in mid action though, but what I love is the expression on her face and the colors, so I had to include it!

When I posted the one on the right, I heard a few remarks about a resemblance to Taylor Swift!  Anyone else agree?  Tricia Toker Photography High School Seniors Senior Portraits Photographer Atlanta Georgia Alpharetta Georgia Johns Creek Georgia Lawrenceville Georgia Grayson Georgia Gwinnett County Fulton County Kelsey Burrell Blog 020 Kelsey Burrell ~ Grayson High School ~ Class of 2013 {Senior Portrait Photographer} Part 2

Thanks again to her mom Melisa for all of her help and of course Laura for her makeup skills!

This won’t be the last you see of Kelsey though!  I still have to show you some of the fabulous products from her order session soon!!  :)

You may recall that I mentioned in the post of the last styled shoot, that we were already planning another shoot.  The day that I was editing those pictures, I remembered that one of our models, Savannah, was a dancer and how bummed I was that we had run out of time and didn’t capture any images of her dancing.  Then it occurred to me to do an entire shoot around her dancing!  I ran my idea by Makeup Artist Laura Briscoe and she was immediately on board.  Casey Arnold also agreed to do hair again.  Savannah had another dancer friend and voila – we had another styled shoot in the making!

Let me start out by telling you that I like to compare this shoot to “the little engine that could.”  I was so sick the day of the shoot that it’s a wonder that we accomplished what we did.  That being said, I couldn’t be more happy with how this shoot turned out.  As usual, the team that put this together is amazing to say the least and I’m so happy to have had another chance to collaborate with all of them again.  We had a new addition to our little team, dancer/model, Jennifer Hite.  I think it’s safe to say that we didn’t scare her off – I can’t say them same for the location, but that’s a story for another day.  ;)

These shots of Savannah aren’t so much about dance, because the dress limited her leg movement.

She looks so amazing though, that I don’t even mind.  :)

I absolutely love this next shot!  This was actually a test shot.

Seriously, who looks this good during a test shot!

She reminds me of the daytime alter ego of a comic book character!

Don’t ask me why, I have no idea, but that’s what I think of when I see this!  :)

I gotta give tons of credit for the makeup and hair that Laura and Casey did.   The looks these two come up with are breathtaking!!

Obviously we couldn’t have done this without Savannah & Jennifer!   You ladies pulled off the most beautiful moves and really made this shoot come to life!

Even though I was feeling a bit under the weather, the four of you made the shoot so much fun and had me constantly laughing!

While I no longer have my “Janice from friends” laugh, because I have my voice back, I’ll never forget this shoot!  :)

 

This isn’t all – so be sure to come back for Part 2!!

Wow!  Where have I been?!?!  I took a little break to attend the Seniorologie tour at Serenbe Farms in Palmetto, Georgia and never posted the last part of the Styled Shoot!  Shame on me!  I’m back though, so here we go!!!

Part 3 is the dreamy, ethereal set for the “Dreams of Fame” Shoot.

Who doesn’t want to be girly and in a flowy dress sometimes?!?!  I know that I lean a little more towards the rocker chick of Part 2, but I can’t help but LOVE this too!  Again, Laura & Angela outdid themselves with makeup & wardrobe.   Throw in a little hair by Casey Arnold and we have the most beautiful girls that I could have ever imagined.

Ohhhhh!!!  I’m sad now, because this is the last post from the shoot.  :(   I told you all before how much I loved this shoot and everyone that made it happen.   Thank you so, so much Laura, Angela, Casey, Savannah, Gretchen, & Candace.   I couldn’t have done this without you all!  Thanks for making my little vision come to life!

While I was editing the next day, I remembered some shots that I didn’t have time to capture.  I called Laura and asked her if she wanted to do another styled shoot using a theme solely based on those “missing” shots.   She reminded me that the night before, after being so pooped, I said that I wouldn’t do another styled shoot for a little while.  After laughing about how it took me less than a day to plan another one,  she happily agreed!  :)   That shoot will take place next month, but ya gotta wait for that one!

If you have ever been thinking of putting together a styled shoot, be prepared to work.  Not a little bit of work either – a lot, BUT if you have a wonderful group of talented people to work with, like I did, you won’t just be happy with the outcome.  You will be elated, like I was!

I love everything about this shoot.  The makeup, the clothes, the hair, the models, the locations…EVERYTHING.  I’m not kidding, I really do.  So much so, that I am going to try to top it in a few months, but you’ll just have to wait for more on that later.  ;)

Back in December, I emailed a friend of mine who happens to be a stylist / personal shopper and has the best wardrobe I have ever seen.  This girl’s shoes alone are to die for, no joke!!  I’m serious.  I wouldn’t kid about shoes.  ;)  I asked Angela if she would be interested in working with me on an idea that I had.  Yay!  She happily agreed!

Next stop, makeup.  At the end of last year, I had been looking for a makeup artist to work with on my senior shoots.  I found Laura on Facebook, emailed her and we met in January.  I knew it would be a stretch for her to do the styled shoot.  We just met and here I am asking her to do a bunch of work and not get paid.  I asked anyway and Yay!  She happily agreed!  Of course, how could she have turned me down?  I mean really, it’s like we were separated at birth.  We are so eerily similar, but in a good way though!  :)

Fast forward to March, location decided on, models chosen, props made, many emails / meetings later – shoot day finally arrives.  Seeing all of your hard work come together, for all us, was such a great feeling.   Part of me was nervous because I knew that at the end of the day, it was up to me to make everyone else’s hard work look good and come to life in these pictures, but at the same time, I was strangely calm and not at all worried.

We met at the Wayfarer Hotel for hair and makeup.  This little hotel was so incredibly cool!  If you ever find yourself in Monroe, Ga, you must stay in their suite!  Oh come on, you know you have been dying to check out Monroe!

So this is where I leave you today, with us all getting ready for the shoot and the behind the scenes.

Ok, so there is your peek behind the curtains.  Now, you have to come back to see all the magic happen!

hmmm - suddenly this sounds like an MTV “Cribs” episode.  Odd.

Loganville High School’s Jordan Draughon is back on the blog!

What’s the number one question that I get asked before any session??

“What should I wear?!?”

My usual response, “bring EVERYTHING you want and lots of it!”   I love, love, love to have options and so will you!  I pick lots of spots to shoot in one session and I love to have that same amount of variety in wardrobe selection.

Jordan and her mom did such a good job with bringing lots of super cute clothes and accessories!

If you haven’t heard of Sarasota’s Three Kitcheneers, don’t worry, I’m sure you will soon enough.  If Food Network doesn’t come a calling soon, I will be shocked.  Mix a love of all things food, add in some humor and a ridiculous amount of beauty and you have a recipe for these lovely ladies.  Tricia Toker Photography Three Kitcheneers 37 Commercial Portrait Shoot Sarasota Florida1 682x1024 Three Kitcheneers ~ {Sarasota Florida Commercial Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1

Inspired – that’s how I felt after an afternoon with Assunta, Charlotte & Megan, but let me back up a bit though.  I’m getting ahead of myself.  :)

When the call came asking if I wanted to take part in a photo shoot in Sarasota, I knew I couldn’t pass on the opportunity.  I really didn’t care what I was helping with or shooting – sign me up!  I’ve told you about my spunky friend Naomi before, but what I haven’t mentioned is how we are always talking about how if we lived closer we could shoot together.  Well, I’m not moving and much to my husband’s dismay, I haven’t won the lottery yet, BUT Naomi and I finally got to shoot together!

After weeks of Naomi planning, the day came and I arrived in sunny Sarasota.  1st stop, the Molinari residence.  The estate is spectacular.  It was built in the 1920′s and has ties to the famous Ringling family.   As we approached the door, a reddish brown dog with gray over each eye and around his nose greeted us…Charlie was clearly in charge of this house.  :) After we got a tour of the house and the grounds, Naomi and I got to work and began setting up.

The scene was to be a lovely outdoor picnic.  The pillows and sweet treats and all the other handpicked details (by Naomi) transformed the backyard into a magical garden.  I could have curled up with a good book and gotten lost for hours.  Tricia Toker Photography Three Kitcheneers 7 Commercial Portrait Shoot Sarasota Florida Three Kitcheneers ~ {Sarasota Florida Commercial Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1Tricia Toker Photography Three Kitcheneers sxs a Commercial Portrait Shoot Sarasota Florida Three Kitcheneers ~ {Sarasota Florida Commercial Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1

Once the ladies arrived, the fun began.  When you meet them, you can’t help but feel like you have known them forever.  It was like five friends hanging out, gossiping, enjoying the day, well…except three of them looked like they stepped off the cover of a magazine!  You want to be envious of their beauty, but you can’t be because they treat you like a best friend!

It’s a big weekend for Grayson High School.  Saturday, December 10, the Grayson Rams played the Walton Raiders in the Georgia Dome.  Whether you have only heard of Grayson because of the student video “Brookwood, Where you at?” or their follow up “This is our Year,”  the Grayson Rams had a remarkable season leading up to the championship (14-0). In the end, the Rams won the State Championship 24-0!   I know it will be a bittersweet end for Grayson Cheerleader and {Twelve}12 Senior Spokesmodel Amy Thurber.  After twelve years cheering, this was her final game as a Grayson Rams cheerleader, but what a way to go out on top!

When you meet Amy, you can’t help but have fun around her.  I met Amy and her mom Sandi a few weeks ago just as it was starting to get cold out.  I was worried it might be a little too cold, but by the time we met, the weather was perfect!   One thing I love about all the seniors I have photographed, they all have a willingness to do whatever, wherever to help make the perfect images.  Amy was no exception and having the back of the car like a closet packed with all sorts of outfits and jewelry, made me soooo happy!  Seniors, Fashion and Bling – gotta love that!

The first location we shot at is a park that I happened upon while location scouting the weekend before.  The woodsy feel and all the tress made it the perfect backdrop for some photographs with a romantic feel.   Throw in some bare feet and a bouquet of flowers…and voila!Twelve 12 by Tricia Toker Amy Thurber sxs a Grayson High School Senior Portraits Grayson Georgia Walton County Amy Thurber ~ Senior Spokesmodel ~ Grayson High School {Senior Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1Twelve 12 by Tricia Toker Amy Thurber sxs c Grayson High School Senior Portraits Grayson Georgia Walton County Amy Thurber ~ Senior Spokesmodel ~ Grayson High School {Senior Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1Twelve 12 by Tricia Toker Amy Thurber 16 R Grayson High School Senior Portraits Grayson Georgia Walton County Amy Thurber ~ Senior Spokesmodel ~ Grayson High School {Senior Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1Twelve 12 by Tricia Toker Amy Thurber sxs b Grayson High School Senior Portraits Grayson Georgia Walton County Amy Thurber ~ Senior Spokesmodel ~ Grayson High School {Senior Portrait Photographer} ~ Part 1

If you are interested in your own senior session and you know Amy personally, be sure to ask her about the special deal she has to offer as a {Twelve}12 Senior Spokesmodel.

Don’t forget, I’m still looking for Spokesmodels for both Class of 2012 and Class of 2013.

Hope you are having a great weekend…Toodles!  ;)
