SKAGIT, ISLAND, WHATCOM, + SNOHOMISH COUNTY — FAMILY & SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

I have been a professional photographer since 2007, but it has been a passion for most of my life. I have been married to my best friend for 24 years, and we have two amazing kids who inspire my love for capturing all seasons of life.

Seniors

Let’s work together! I strive to make your session fun and easy. I love for you to pick a location that speaks to you — the beach, downtown, gardens, fields, your high school or your home. No matter where you choose I will create images that you will be proud of. Bring a few outfit changes and your best friend and we’ll have a great time!

Maternity

The anticipation of a new baby…there is nothing more exciting. Counting down the weeks, days, hours until the new addition arrives is enough to make your heart burst with joy. I would be honored to capture this precious time in your lives.

Maternity Sessions

families

The endless beauty of our mountains, valley, and sea is the backdrop to the love & connection I aim to capture in every family session. There doesn’t need to be a reason, there isn’t a better time. I promise, you will never regret documenting life just as it is at this very moment.

Family Sessions

Babies

My newborn sessions are done in the comfort of your home. Choose a room with great natural light and I’ll have you cozy up there with your new precious bundle. Could be in your living room, the master bedroom, nursery…or all of the above. For an additional fee, I also offer a natural light studio option if you don’t feel your home would photograph well. I will capture those tiny newborn features, along with family snuggles and sweet kisses. Older babies can be photographed outdoors on location if you prefer.

KIND WORDS

"Erin Cox is the most wonderful photographer! She has taken photos of our family for years, each image capturing amazing moments that we will always cherish. She photographed my son's birth, and the years of his life since. She took photos of my family with my mother just before her death. She documents who we are over the years. We are NOT naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but she has a way about her that makes us relax and enjoy the process. I am shocked every time she sends us photos that she can turn our goofy family into such wonderful images. She will always be our family photographer, and we feel so blessed to work with her!”

"Erin always makes our family pictures fun! She is great with kids and puts everyone at ease. She gets the best shots because she takes the time to engage with everyone and is genuine. Her professionalism is second to none, so prompt on the turnaround of photos! Lastly, but the very most important, my pictures always exceed my expectations! Absolutely breathtaking and I'm always so happy I have the memories forever."

“Working with Erin for maternity photos was an amazing experience! There are times during pregnancy when it can be a bit difficult to feel as normal and beautiful as before. Erin was able to put my husband and I at ease and help us feel very comfortable. The pictures turned out absolutely phenomenal and truly made me feel beautiful and excited for the arrival our our sweet baby! Erin’s eye for light, landscape, emotion, and tender moments is a true gift.”

"Erin has been taking my family photos for 3 vears now. She is WONDERFUL! Not only are her pictures beautiful she is very engaging with my kiddos. They look forward to doing our Christmas card every year at the tree farm and that's saying something considering two of them are teenagers! She makes everyone comfortable and we truly enjoy the experience. We have done Christmas Card photos, couple photos and family photos…All of them turned out amazing. But Best of all she is extremely fast on getting your photos back to you"

“Erin is an absolute delight to work with. We hired her to take graduation pictures of our daughter 5 years ago and this year our son. Each time she was so easy to work with. Both of our children have a blast during the photo shoot. She is quick to respond, was flexible with scheduling and had our pictures completed quickly. She is a very talented photographer. Best of all our pictures are absolutely beautiful!”

“Erin has been so amazing with my family and is always extremely patient and sweet. She always makes the experience 10x better and less stressful. Her work never disappoints and I look forward for the next perfect moments she captures with my family.”

Erin was wonderful to work with!! She was willing to hike in the woods in the freezing cold so we could get the perfect outdoor setting for our pictures. Erin made it fun and got the entire family to smile, including the dog! My husband and son, who hate having their picture taken, actually said "that was easy" after our session. Yay! Erin got the beautifully edited pictures back to us within the weekend. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again for family pictures!!!
