I can’t believe it’s time already for the Year in Review!  I used to think I could narrow the year down to a top 10 or 20, but really, that’s impossible, soooo here are my “Favorite Moments of 2013!”  Enjoy!!

Thank you so much to everyone that has made this such a wonderful year!  My seniors, their parents, my friends and family.  I could never do all of this without you and I am so incredibly thankful for each of you!

Happy Holidays everyone!  I wish you all the very best and especially for the New Year!  I know it’s a bit early, but Happy New Year!  Let’s all make it even better in 2014!

Parkview High School’s Liz Shah and I have been talking since last year.  She first contacted me late last year, but the weather is what really kept us waiting.  During all those months, we talked about her pictures, her plans for the future, but most of all, we just got to know each other.  By the time we finally met, it was like we had known each other for so much longer than we actually had!

Liz is also my very last Class of 2013 senior.  I absolutely adore her and her mother too!  I can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and kindness.

I know, without a doubt though, Liz will be successful when she leaves for college next month and I cannot wait to see her on TV one day reporting about medicine.  She’s going to Wow us all!

And oh yeah, speaking of Wow’ing us – can she smize like you wouldn’t believe?!?!  If I had to rate all of my “smizers,” Liz is in the lead!  LOL!     Don’t believe me – check this out!

Makeup – Laura Briscoe Makeup Artistry

“As I was looking for senior photographers, I stumbled upon Tricia’s site.  To my surprise, I found that a few friends of mine had worked with her.  I instantly fell in love with her work, and I applied to be a senior spokesmodel right away.

I talked with Tricia for several months after she contacted me back.  Because I was waiting for better weather and to get my braces off, we had quite a lot of time to plan.  Tricia was really helpful in scouting locations, helping me pick outfits that would make me look my best, and sorting through makeup looks.  She even had me set up new Pinterest boards so she could see exactly what I liked.  She was also really good at keeping in contact with me throughout the time I was waiting to be able to shoot with her.  Leading up to the day of the shoot, I felt completely at ease already.  Tricia is so sweet, and she was the reason I was so ecstatic about the pictures.

On the actual day of the shoot, Tricia and Laura, her makeup artist, made me feel like I had known them both forever.  They were funny, kind, and helpful.  Tricia made it easy for me to be myself and let loose in front of the camera.  She also was willing to climb into weird places just to catch me at the perfect angle!  To girls looking to shoot with Tricia, I highly recommend it.  She really made me feel beautiful and fierce.  Plus, she is extremely talented!”

“My daughter Liz has always been really into research.  She always looks really far into anything she’s interested in, but as soon as she found Tricia Toker, she stopped looking for senior photographers.  Tricia brought her friend Laura to our house to do Liz’s makeup, and the two of them did a stunning job.  They talked with us comfortably the entire day of the shoot.  During the actual pictures, Liz had a hard time doing her “serious” face sometimes because she could not stop smiling.  I enjoyed talking to Laura, who chatted with me and kept me company.

I know Liz had a lot of fun with Tricia because she could not stop talking about the shoot all day.  It was nice to see how comfortable my daughter was in front of the camera because of Tricia’s kindness and friendliness.  Tricia helped guide Liz through the shoot, and I believe she captured Liz’s personality in the pictures so well.

Choosing Tricia as your senior photographer will ensure you both an experience and pictures your daughter will fall in love with.”

Shame on me!  I meant to set this to auto-post earlier today and totally forgot!

I just had Liz’s Premier Order Session a few hours ago, so instead of a preview for her and her mother, this will have to be a preview for all of you instead!  ;)  Happy Preview everyone!

Seriously though, can she kill a “smize” or what?!  ;)

Love ya, Liz and Rubina – see you in a few weeks!

thank you Laura Briscoe for the “Behind the Scenes” action!  ;)
