Hi

 

for your reqquiement the best solution is the workflow .And when creating the workflow rule you need to enter the critria as that lookup field is not equals null

 

and also choose the option every time the record is created and edited and didnot meet the privious critria.

then you can able to add email step

formula for checking the change of the field is : ISCHANGED( field_api_name )

 

I guess the trigger will automatically get the change of the object without any formula.

 

In your case, you can consider use some workflow for sending email to the contact after the update.
