Since moving to the same town, during the same week, more than five years ago, the Blocker and Pearce family stages in life have mirrored each other. From living in terrible rentals, to purchasing fixer-uppers and agonizing over renovations, and from church "shopping" and new business ventures, to pregnancy and babies, and relocating (again), we've seen a lot of life with our dear friends – and we cherish them. So very much. 

Like our friendship, my camera has seen all the stages of their life and my style has matured as they have: maternity photos, Britt's arrival in a hospital birth session, newborn photos, tiny human portraits and family sessions. {Whew, thank goodness for dear friends who are willing to be portfolio builders!}

I have truly loved watching the Blocker family grow over the years, and feel blessed to not only have captured their portraits, but also to count them as forever-friends.
