tonic photo studios welcomes Mitzie Rakich back to the team

Once upon a time, we had a really great commercial photography rep named Mitzie Rakich. OK, maybe 2004 to 2008 isn’t exactly “once upon a time”, but Mitzie did work here and then left to pursue new opportunities. The good news is that Mitzie is returning to her tonic photography roots, better and stronger than before! In the three years since Mitzie was last with us, she’s continued to develop her marketing and business development skills. She was instrumental in helping the business to grow during her first stint here and Patrick is really looking forward to working with her to bring in new accounts and do great things once again.

Photo of Mitzie RakichSo who is this awesomeness named Mitzie? She’s a Phoenix native and ASU grad with a degree in Design Studies Management. She loves downtown Phoenix and likes to keep it local. So do we, which might be why she fits in well here at tonic. Mitzie can often be found out on the town exploring many fabulous restaurants and going to shows, or checking out a landscaping nursery for relaxation.

Mitzie has many fond memories of good times at tonic when she previously worked here and she’s looking forward to making more. She especially enjoyed the overflow food goodies after cuisine shoots and finding her face Photoshopped onto Sesame Street characters (what can we say, we think she makes a great Muppet).  Above all, she loved working with all of the cool clients and agencies who make our business thrive.

We’re sure she’s ready to make great things happen and we’re excited to have her with us once again. Welcome back, Mitzie!

Patrick Darby, tonic photo studios creative problem solver

Headshot of Patrick DarbyMy name is Patrick Darby and I run Tonic Photo Studios. You’re going to be hearing more from me over the coming months here on our blog and on our Facebook page. We’re going to be ramping up our online presence and personality, and providing you with a better look into the activities of Tonic. A lot’s been going on around here and there are some exciting things on the horizon. Looking ahead, I’ll be regularly updating this blog and our Facebook page with these and other points of interest. My goal is to generate a greater sense of Tonic’s capabilities and overall personality, and to hopefully provide you with some compelling and interesting material on a regular basis.

Running Tonic requires a little bit of everything, but ultimately it all comes down to creative problem solving. I spend my days (and sometimes evenings) dedicated to that task. How can I make that pizza shot look as fresh and compelling as possible? How can I light that 50,000 square foot exterior in two hours before dawn? How can I get a shot of the light rail from the perspective of the tracks without getting run over (or arrested)?

Running Tonic is not just a job; it’s a way of thinking and a crazy, never boring way of life. I embrace each project and give each client the attention and dedication they deserve. What’s important to you is important to me. I make your project and creative challenges my own. I get the picture. Get yours at Tonic Photo Studios and discover the cure for the common image.
