The Gold Hope Project

Sometime in September, we learned of The Gold Hope Project through my college friend Gretchen, the photographer who took pictures for our family during the summer of 2014.  Gretchen had recently become a photographer for the project.  We contacted Gretchen and, since we had been hoping to get some updated portraits of our family, figured out the details to set up a family session through the Gold Hope Project.

Although the attitudes of our family on that particular day in late October weren't exactly what we were hoping for, Gretchen worked her magic and we came out of the experience with some beautiful photographs.  These pictures mean so much more to us now.

Your family has dealt with this very sad journey with such grace. We have watched and learned so much from Anna and your family. I am so sorry for all the pain and suffering that all of you have gone through, but grateful your faith and love have guided you through each day.
