more of erin cobb & pullbacks

This past Monday I watched my faaaaavorite of photographer, Erin Cobb, work her magic. 

(Which she ended up mentioning on HER blog here, which I was totally

surprised and humbled by!! I'm #9 on her list)

She was doing a photo session of a couple with their cuuuute 7 month old, Connor, and 

she let me tag along. She told me what lenses she was using and why, why

she was photographing in a particular spot, how the clothes were chosen, etc. I was 

most interested to see how she interacted with the family and how she's always able to get

such great shots.

A few tips I picked up from her on how to interact with clients and get those "great shot",

especially with babies:

 - lots of silly sounds

- singing

- hand motions

- mom and dad with baby's favorite toy

and my favorite

- have mom/dad smiling and laughing right next to Erin's camera. 

I heard Erin say a few times, "You can get right up in my grill."

Here are a few shots that I took of Erin working. (She's the one in white)

hope you were able to pick up some ideas too!
