Little T had the first session after my return from California. He is such a calm baby with almost another sense about him. You can feel it when you hold him. It makes sense though because he is special. A gift for his mother from his father before his daddy’s untimely passing not long after they found out they were pregnant. I am told that his father, Thomas Culp, was a brilliant teacher and good man. I can see glimpses of him in his family now of 3.

Thomas lives on through them. And how it gave me chills when I found out that that his son was born on his birthday. To see their story visit their blog and also say a prayer or two for these sweet babies and their unworldly strong mama.

  7. The Culp family is amazing! Bonnie and I are dear friends and the way you captured her love for her babies is so uplifting in these photos. Your kind words brought tears to my eyes as I to see Thomas in both of his children.
