"Perhaps our deepest love is already inscribed within us, so it's object doesn't create a new word, but instead allows us to read the one written. For their entire lives, even before they met, your mother and father held their love for you inside their hearts like an acorn holds an oak tree." -Anthony Marra, A Constellation of Vital Phenomenon

It felt good to get behind the camera again last week. I've missed it. This was the first shot I took--just a quick snap of sweet Mason watching the geese--and it ended up being one of my favorites. I loved photographing his family. Guess it's time to get my website running again...

So I've been MIA for a while. Since having our fourth child, mothering has taken most of my effort and attention!

I kind of feel like I've cheated the system here...I get to witness miraculous births without having gone to nursing or medical school. I'm the luckiest. This was such a good day. Watch and enjoy...and try not to get too baby hungry. Oh wait, maybe that's just me. :) Holly N Jonny Kulick

Early the morning of May 20, I headed to the hospital to witness a miracle. My sweet friend, Holly, was scheduled to bring her third child into the world via c-section. I had never witnessed or experienced a c-section, so I was excited and a little nervous--I'm sure nothing compared to…

I am having the hardest time narrowing down the images for this session's gallery. I can't get enough of her gorgeous blue eyes, dimples, and those delicious rolls! Lauren, feel free to tag yourself.

I got to spend some time with this little sweetheart this week, and she kind of made me baby hungry--even though my own baby is not quite 8 months old! She was six pounds of pure sweetness--so calm and content. Meet sweet Lucy Mel.

Today was a feverish baby, wanting to be held and cuddled all day long. It was an emotional three year old, melting down over string cheese not opening, her favorite jacket being dirty, and everything else imaginable. Today was four too many errands, with four too many children in tow, taking…
