Peachtree Ridge High School’s Abigail Bennett and her mom are two of the sweetest, kindest people I know.  Spending any afternoon with these ladies, you’ll find lots of fun and lots of laughter!

Like most of my seniors this year, Abigail keeps a busy schedule…as a member of the Peachtree Ridge High Swim Team!  And has received numerous awards as a result of all of her hard work!

In the fall, she’ll be attending one of my personal favorites, Kennesaw State University.  I might be biased though.

Shout out to Blade, one of the coolest little dogs I have met!  :)

Oh…I guess that I should show you some of Abigail’s senior portraits, right?

My very first Prince Avenue Christian School Senior, Class of 2013 – Candace O’Neal, braved some pretty cold temperatures and not to mention was probably up at 4 am that morning so we could be shooting by sunrise!

Her boyfriend David was such a trooper that day too, but you can’t tell me that he didn’t enjoy himself and have a little fun!  ;)

Can’t wait until tomorrow to show Candace and her family the rest!

You have seen Parkview High School’s Devan Heyburn a time or two already!  I am not done sharing though.  :)  I was recently fortunate enough to have some of her images featured on the website Seniorologie.  You can view that feature here.   I did have a few more images from Devan’s senior session that I wanted to share though.  :)

“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!”

Abigail is my first Peachtree Ridge High School Senior!  She was also my first Class of 2013 Senior in the year 2013.  I don’t often get to shoot my girls in January, but we had a random warm January weekend…it was 75 degrees!!  It was just what we needed and it was perfect!

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!  ;)

You may have seen a little bit of Devan’s session already.  I’m still trying to get caught up on all my blog posts, so please bare with me.  :)

Here is my official preview and a little behind the scenes fun!  Devan had me cracking up more than I can even share!

“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!”

I 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!  :)

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!

I got to spend last weekend being a little Christmas elf, spreading good cheer!

I wanted to give each of my Class of 2013 clients a little something for the holidays as a Thank You and since I LOVE storyboards, I made one for each of them!

While the weather was not so cheerful that day, I hope that I brought a little joy to each of my seniors and their families.  :)

and lastly…I want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Monday after Thanksgiving everyone!!  :)

I haven’t been as on top of my blogging as I would like, so I’m trying to get caught up.  Hopefully, you’ll be hearing a lot from me in the next few weeks!

While I haven’t blogged Grayson High School’s Maili Lutz senior portraits yet, I am sure you will recognize her from some previous shoots.   Back in the summer, she was part of the Birthday Styled Shoot for Seniorologie.  Most recently, she was part of the “What’s Your Favorite Scary Movie” Styled Shoot.  I’ll have more of that shoot later though, because like I mentioned, I gotta go back a bit to Maili’s Senior Spokesmodel session!

Let’s take a look at Class of 2013 and Grayson Golden Rams Competition Cheerleader – Maili!

I cannot thank Maili and her mom Tammie enough.   They have helped me out soooo many times and more than that, they are truly, truly nice genuine people.    Want to see more Maili??    Come back soon to see some of the super fabulous products from Maili’s order session!

Interested in your own senior session and you know Maili personally?  Ask her about the special discount that she has to offer as a Tricia Toker Photography Senior Spokesmodel.

No TRICKS here…this is definitely a TREAT!  Happy Halloween everyone and get ready for some BOOtiful images!!

ok, I know, I know, but I couldn’t resist!  

I’ll stop now and just get on with it and show you more from Class of 2013 – Grayson High School – Kelsey Burrell’s senior portraits…

If you saw Part 1, you already know that Kelsey has been dancing for 15 years!  Here’s just a peek at what Kelsey can do!

one of Kelsey’s favorites…

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?  

Seriously Kelsey?!?  Could this one be any more amazing?!  :)

and these!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

See what I mean – just stunning!!!

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!!  :)

It’s that time again, Chic Critique Forum‘s Chic Magazine Cover Contest!

I really had a difficult time selecting which image to submit this time.  I decided on an image of the lovely Savannah again.  This time though from the “Dreams of Fame” styled shoot.

Here is my submission for Chic Magazine:

From the first pose, Grayson High School’s Kelsey Burrell was amazing!

It’s usually the norm that most people have to “warm up” a little in front of the camera…not Kelsey though!  She couldn’t have been more stunning and every look she gave me was like she had been doing this for years!

It might help that Kelsey has been performing for years, fifteen in fact, as a dancer.

While she has plans after high school to major in dance and minor in business, I think she would give any girl on “America’s Next Top Model” a run for their money!  Check out this girl’s “smizing!”

Come back next week for more of Kelsey’s unbelievable senior portraits…because there are just TOO many that I have to share with you!  :)
