Do you watch Fox’s Glee?

Peachtree Ridge’s Kristen Borgognoni was my final Class of 2014 Senior (photographed in 2013) and boy did we go out with a bang!  From the second I posted sneak peeks of Kristen, all I heard was “Lea Michele Look-a-like” & “Does this remind you of Lea Michele?” and the most recent post on Instagram – #rachelberrylookalike

I love it!  :)  I don’t personally watch Glee – (sorry!) but I love how so many of you responded to Kristen’s senior portraits!  

Kristen will be in the Miss Peachtree Ridge Pageant this weekend and I wish her TONS of luck!!!!!

“When I started thinking about senior pictures I realized I wanted them to reflect my style and personality.  I wanted outdoor pictures and wanted to have multiple outfits.  I felt that going to a studio would not have been personal and I wouldn’t love the pictures. When we found Tricia’s website, my first thought was that it was exactly what I wanted, so I applied to be a senior spokesmodel!

Tricia has a true passion for photography and is very personable. We stayed in contact throughout the planning of the shoot and she helped us to pick clothing, accessories, and locations.  She makes the whole experience very fun and easy!  Tricia will do anything to get the perfect shot and is very dedicated to her work.

I would highly recommend Tricia to anyone who wants a personal senior picture experience.  My shoot was tons of fun, and the pictures are amazing!”

Guess 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…

If 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.  :)

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!

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?

“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!

“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!
