While our Mom About Town extraordinaire, Heather Richardson, takes some much deserved time off with her sweet new baby Jude, you guys get me (Erin)! I have been SO excited about this post for months now. We’ve had something cooking behind the scenes that we’ve been waiting for the perfect time to announce and I’m thrilled that today is the day!
Over the years I’ve received countless inquiries for senior portraits and I’ve always referred them to my crazy-talented friend and senior portrait specialist, Marla Laramie. After hours of planning, conversation, wine, and chocolate between Heather, Marla and I, I’m so elated to announce the creation of Twist Portraits!
What is Twist, you ask? Well, Twist is a collaborative effort between established Huntsville children’s photographer Erin Cobb (that’s me!) and uber-talented teen photographer Marla Laramie. Twist is the place where Erin’s fun and friendly process meets Marla’s fresh and funky style. Twist is Erin Cobb Photography’s dedicated portrait line for teens and tweens, photographed entirely by Marla. Twist will have it’s own space in our new Cottage location (come June) and the entire line will be tailored toward today’s fashion forward, fun and funky teens and tweens. We’re so excited!
While this project has been in the works for quite some time, we’ve been keeping it under wraps in order to coincide our announcement with the grand re-opening of one of our favorite Huntsville boutique’s – Envy!
The Envy girls (hi Rachel and Ginger!) have been working side by side with Marla to create a fabulous display of portraits featuring the members of their 2012 Teen Fashion Board. The Teen Board is a select group of fashionable girls from schools across Huntsville. Not only are these lucky young women ambassadors and students of the fashion mecca that is Envy, they’re also the first set of girls to be treated to all that Twist has to offer. How cool is that?!
And here’s another peek at Marla’s Twist work in the store…featuring three adorable Envy employees!
You can see the fabulous display that Marla and the Envy girls have put together in the newly renovated, expanded awesomeness of the store. Envy has almost doubled their original space and created the most incredible shopping experience. Every square inch in the store is inspiring and loaded with irresistible eye candy!
Of course they still have all their old favorites, like designer jeans…
And camis in every color (that I just can’t get enough of!)….
And racks and racks of the most beautiful pieces perfect for the coming season…
And while they’ve always had amazing shoes and accessories, their selection is out of this world now!
I’m totally in love with this new shoe wall which showcases the most beautiful selection of shoes atop Rachel’s fashion school textbooks. How’s that for over-the-top creative!?
But the best part about the shoe room?
The cartoons for the kids…
And in addition to all of those fashion fabulousness, Envy has also added a variety of home goods as well as novelty food and drink items. I’m in love!
Rachel and Ginger, we are so proud of and for you! The space is amazing and inspiring and we are so honored to have Twist Portraits partnered with such a Huntsville hot spot!
