Dear Greg,

Eight years ago we embarked on a journey together… one that we thought we were prepared for and took on with great excitement. Like all new travelers, we made mistakes, took wrong turns, got lost and got in arguments. There were many curves in the road and hills to climb. But when it felt like too much, when it felt too hard, I only had to look to my side and you were there, holding my hand. And from the tops of the hills we have seen the most incredible views. You have supported me, loved me, guided me and shown me so many beautiful things in this world. You showed me the importance of relaxing, clearing my mind, focusing on God and His will for our life together. You are not the boy I was head over heels for as a 20 year old bride. You are now a man, the father of my children, my guide, my best friend. Together we have weathered the storms and we have seen the sun coming out from behind the clouds, the rainbows reminding us of God’s promises. Our children have been blessings in our lives that we could never have imagined, and watching you with them fills my heart with such pride and immense joy. I am blessed to call you my husband and I’m thankful for the years, the moments and the memories that we’ve had together. If this is what the first 8 years brings, I can only imagine the joys we will experience throughout the rest of our years together, God willing. Happy Anniversary my love.

These are just a few of my favorite images from our session two years ago, celebrating our six year anniversary in California. See more of Jules Trandem’s gorgeous work HERE.
