I have been soooo excited to share this with you all!!!

First, let me back up a bit and explain why I haven’t shared until now though.

If you haven’t heard of Holly McCaig and Two Pear Designs, you really must visit these sites right away.  Holly is responsible for some of the best Graphic Design Templates for Photographers, as well as some other products for scrapbookers!  That’s how I first heard of her, when searching for templates, but then I started following her on Instagram too and immediately fell in love with the posts of her dogs!!!  I could just squeeze them, they are so cute!!  :)

Back in April, Holly asked me to contribute to Two Pears Designs’ Inspire Magazine.  I honestly wasn’t sure what to say.  I was shocked and so incredibly nervous.  Could I do it?  Was I good enough?  Would she actually like anything I submitted or would she say, “Thanks, but no Thanks!”  I was also super busy at this time with it being the end of the school year and was knee deep in planning the “Once Upon a Summer” shoot.  I didn’t know how I could possibly fit this into my schedule, but deep down, I knew that I had to try.  How could I pass on such an opportunity?!

Somehow, with all of the craziness, I made it happen!  Don’t ask me how, because that entire weekend of shooting “Little Red Riding Hood” and then this shoot, pretty much made the weekend a blur!   And to top it all off, I barely made it in time for the deadline!!   Whew!!!

The actual shoot was back in May.  While I wanted to shout from the rooftops about the issue and post pictures from the day, I had to keep it “hush, hush” until the issue came out.  If you know me, you know that was the longest 4 months, ever!  ;)  Seeing the issue though in September, it was well worth the wait!!

sooo….here it is!!!

Because I took a lot of images that day, I will be sharing more soon.  It was such a beautiful session and a beautiful day!

I could not have done it without Laura, Ashley and of course, the lovely Devan!

Thank you so much for this opportunity Holly!  I am so incredibly grateful and I appreciate you asking me to be a part of this issue with so many other extraordinary photographers!

If you haven’t seen the issue and would like to purchase it, you can buy the print version HERE or the digital version HERE.  It’s a beautiful issue with lots and lots of eye candy!

Come back soon to see more images from this shoot (and some fun Behind the Scenes)!!  I am so excited to finally share them!  :)

It’s such a huge honor and always so incredibly exciting to see one of your images published.  When I heard Denim + Grace was including one of Kayla’s images in their June 2013 “The Encore Issue,” I think I did a little happy dance.  Actually, I don’t think I did, I know I did and I’m sure more accurately, I squealed a bit too!

I was beyond excited when I first received the email that one of Devan’s images was selected to be the back cover of Issue 4 of Senior Style Guide!!   I have been such a fan of their blog and magazine, so this was a very special day for me!  In addition to receiving the honor of being chosen for the back cover, a few months earlier, one of Devan’s images received honorable mention for Senior Stunner of the Week!

To have an image inside the issue and the back cover was more than just a little exciting – I was elated!  Such a wonderful day!

I have been hinting around to changes lately.  After photographing families, weddings, children, events…I finally have decided what suits me and my photography style best.  I will now be specializing in High School Senior Portraits.  Now, this isn’t the plain old cap and gown or that drape we had to wear back when I was in school.  Not at all!  :)  My style has always been taking a fabulous fashionable person and find a dirty, not so pretty location and let them pose as if they are in a fashion magazine.  I’m inspired by fashion and editorial style shoots where smiles aren’t always necessary.   What I have learned in the past few years is that my style and what I love to photograph is exactly what High School Seniors want to have in photographs of themselves.

The first most obvious change is the Portfolio page of my website.  I have removed the Children, Family, and Boudoir sections.   I always hear that you should show the work that you want to attract and for me, that is Seniors and Individuals & Couples interested in Fashion & Editorial inspired photo shoots.   The second most obvious change is the addition of the High School Senior gallery to the Portfolio page.  From time to time, you may still see a few family sessions appear on the blog, because I do have lots of friends with children.   I just won’t be focusing on these types of sessions anymore or targeting them as part of my business.

I have also named the High School Senior Portrait side of my business {Twelve}12 and created some new logos to match.  I just wanted a bit of a separation from Tricia Toker Photography.

That’s the big news for now!  Soon I will be announcing the details of the Class of 2012 Spokesmodel program, where Gwinnett County High School Seniors will help promote {Twelve}12 and receive free photo sessions and/or products in return!

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’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.  :)

Hi everyone and Happy 2011!
I hope the new year is treating you all very well so far!


I just wanted to share some exciting news….I will be launching a new website soon!
Along with the new website, I will have new branding too.  Super excited!
I have a lot of work ahead of me to get the site up in the next few months, but I can’t wait to share it with everyone.


I updated pricing for the new year, so be sure to check out the 2011 pricing section.
Also, if you have used my services before, be sure to ask me about the new Rewards Program when you book your upcoming session or event.   This is a program that I added this year for repeat customers.


This year, I plan to be asking for some volunteers.  I want to expand my brand and will need some volunteer models for some fun sessions.   This will help me become the fabulous photographer that I aspire to be!  
More on this later….


That’s all for now…Toodles!

Hi Everyone,
As you may have noticed…I took a little break from posting.  I was just a little busy…oh just getting married and being on my honeymoon! 

Now, I’m back though and ready to get taking pictures again!  I got a new lens yesterday and I love it!  I can thank my friend Naomi in Sarasota for that. 

I updated the photo albums to include everything that I have done in the past few months. 
Take a look! 

Welcome to my new blog!!
If you don’t already know me and follow my other blog, I love taking pictures!
It first started out with scrapbooking.
I was always looking to take the perfect picture so I could scrapbook it!
Well…taking pictures became so much more.
While planning my wedding, I realized that I really liked taking pictures a lot and making other people happy with the pictures that I take of them!
My favorite styles of photography are photojournalistic and editorial.
I consider my own photography to be edgy and fun and of course – sassy!

soooo….with the support of my family and friends, Tricia Toker Photography is born!
