i have known the bledin family for a very long time. anthony was one of my dad’s best friends, cheryl one of my mom’s, jessica and i were the same age, lara was just a little bit younger than my brother. we spent many holidays and friday nights over at their house. when jessica went to standford, i drove down from santa cruz to visit. when eric and i got married, the bledin’s were there, when jessica and david got married, we were all together to celebrate once again. it’s been truly wonderful having the bledin’s as friends for so many years. when jessica asked me to take family photos after new year’s i was so excited. i absolutely love how fun these portraits came out! i didn’t expect anything less from such a gorgeous family, and wonderful friends!
