my kind of folk | huntsville family portrait photographer

These guys are my kind of family…relaxed, happy and loving. If I didn’t love my own family so darn much I’d ask to be in this one!

The smiles on these boys melt me…

And little sister was such a trooper…even after a long day of field tripping with her big bro!

See y’all soon to share the rest with you. I can’t wait!

superpowers. | huntsville children’s portraits

These girls have superpowers…

because within moments of finishing up our session together,

where they looked absolutely lovely and were the absolute epitome of young Southern ladyhood,

they jumped in their van, did a quick change, and headed off to play a mean game of softball.

That’s my kind of girl.

Meanwhile their little cousin has superpowers of his own. Namely, being mega-cute.

And having a certain magnetism that keeps all the ladies at his beck and call.

Yep, superpower runs in this family.

life in motion | huntsville children’s oil portraits

By now I hope you already know about our custom oil portrait line with talented artist Rebekah Bynum. We have three lines together – traditional oil, baby faces and Life in Motion. On Monday morning, after a rain delay from last week, I finally got to meet up with three of my favorite friends to capture the first step toward their own Life in Motion portrait.

This sweet fam has toddler twin boys and one super helpful big sister. Life in Motion oil portraits are meant to capture the essence and movement of childhood and in this case the kiddos’ mama really wanted to capture happy moments with the three of them together. If you’ve ever had one toddler (let alone THREE!) you may know what a feat this is. But no fear…mama had a secret weapon…

ICE CREAM!

We also spent a little time “feeding” the ducks, although the geese quickly overtook us and seemed more intent on feeding on the children. Yikes!

If you’re interested in learning more about any of the three oil portrait lines I’ve mentioned, I’d love to hear from you! Just shoot me an or email, give me a call or inquire via the Erin Cobb Photography Facebook page. The opportunities to find me are endless! ;)

favorite | huntsville baby portraits

This sweet girl was an instant favorite of mine because she and I have my maiden name in common. So I knew I would love her before she even showed up and then…

well, she made it easy!

She brought along a few of her grandmother’s french sewn works of art. Can you even handle the sweetness of her in this bonnet?!

I can’t.

She’s only three months old but was so alert and inquisitive. There’s a smart little girl inside this precious body, I guarantee it.

Thanks for the fun my sweet little friend!

happy, happy birthday baby | huntsville and madison one year old portraits

Last week I headed up “the mountain” (to my Colorado friends…it’s different here) to photograph one of my favorite families. Our excuse for getting together was the first birthday of this little princess…

As the baby of the family and the only girl, she’s a treasure. And to quote her mama from my Facebook page earlier today, “Wait until her daddy sees this picture…”

Although I’m pretty partial to this one myself…

Every princess should celebrate a birthday by eating cake topless in a tutu at least once in her life…and the earlier she gets it out of the way, the better, right?!

The session didn’t entirely focus on the birthday girl though, we took plenty of time to photograph the rest of the crew too (including their sweet puppy who wandered up just in time!)…

And you know me, I can never leave well enough alone…there was definitely some tickling in order!

Happy Birthday sweet baby R!

Mandy - Thank you sooo much Erin! You have exceeded my expectations once again!! If anyone ever asks me if it’s worth the investment to capture their little ones in photographs I will show them these.
We will treasure them forever! Thank you!

Granny Pat - My heart is singing! Thank you for such ….. no words to describe… these pictures.

Mandy - I can’t stop chuckling over the topless tutu picture. Something tells me she’s going to take quite a ribbing for years to come. You can’t look at that picture and not laugh!!!
