Feb 16, 2011philip + jessica + gianna {by amber and julia}

Meet our free family photoshoot contest winners Philip and Jessica, and their ridiculously adorable Gianna.  Those eyes, that smile and her contagious laugh just blew us away from the very beginning.  We couldn’t have asked for a better family to photograph for this special occasion.  They came all the way up from Tampa, FL for this and we couldn’t have been more honored to spend time with them.  Gianna’s one lucky girl- she’s got two parents that think the world of her.  Thank you Pietri family for making the trip up here, you guys are a beautiful family. 

Feb 15, 2011richard blais + family

make sure you tune into bravo tonight to see if one of our favorite atlantans, richard blais, is the winner of top chef all-stars. he’s definitely got our vote!  
we had the pleasure of shooting his family again along with their newest addition…

the shot above was sponsored by SousVide, a special machine for cooking…or giving a baby a bath when its set to the perfect temperature of 37.4 celsius. yes, google it. and the great thing about this sophisticated bathtub is that it will hold that temperature the entire tub time 🙂

Nov 21, 2010ziva + jaci + john {by amber and julia}

We are so excited to share this family session with you. There couldn’t be two parents bursting with more love for their child than Jaci and John for little Ziva. She is their little pride and joy, and quite rightfully so. Her smile draws you in and instantly puts a silly grin on your own face. Spending time with this family and being able to tell a small story though photographs is what we enjoy most. We hope to be able to share yours.
