Engagement sessions are my favorite kind of sessions to shoot (and I shoot a lot of them), but sometimes it’s nice to have a change of pace. So when I recently did Amy’s maternity, Stella’s newborn, Billhimers’ family and Laura’s maternity sessions, I found myself extra anxious to try new things and let the creative juices flow. I also found myself getting a little bit of baby fever since there was a baby involved in every one of these sessions (I should also stop watching TLC’s A Baby Story if I want to cure this fever), but that discussion is for another day. 🙂
Laura and Anthony are expecting baby girl Adalee this month. They invited me out to their 8-acre property in Morgantown for the session and we shot under gorgeous, glowing evening light…and got to use the pond behind their house that may become one of my favorite shooting spots! Laura and Anthony, you guys are CUTE…
Adalee’s room is yellow and green…
Pretty sure this is one of my absolute FAVES from the session!
And now for the pond behind their house! I was blown away by the light and general surroundings. How perfect is it with that fence and the gravel lane!?! I’d love to take a bride and groom up there someday. 🙂
Anthony makes Laura (and everyone else) laugh all the time, so he was the perfect bystander while Laura got some solo portraits. He’d be a wonderful laughing instigator at my weddings and other sessions!
Beautiful maternity portrait and beautiful mommy-to-be RIGHT HERE!
This is part of Laura and Anthony’s acreage. Just beyond them is a small stream and lush trees. So tranquil and private…kinda jealous!
And another stream in their front yard! What a great place to raise little ones. 🙂
Thanks a million for having me, Laura and Anthony! I’m super excited to meet Adalee soon! You guys did wonderfully during your session…and thanks for all the laughs, Anthony!
Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it more…and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
I’m not sure I’m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesday…

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!
