This session took place back in August. Yes, I’m unfortunately six months behind in blogging. ‘Tis life of a small business owner who’s also a stay-at-home mama. Anyways, it’s actually quite appropriate that I’m blogging Miss Mary’s two-year portraits right now. She and her parents are waiting the arrival of baby #2 who’s expected to come before the end of the month! What a nice little reminder of their family of three before they become a family of four. 🙂
I met mama Kim at MOPS, like I do so many of my wonderful mommy friends from Morgantown, WV. She was gracious enough to come to my backyard in Maryland for their session, but not without bringing a little weather with her first. She and Mary were just minutes away from my house when she texted and wondered if they should continue. It was pouring rain and she was afraid we wouldn’t get to take pictures. But I assured her a few minutes of waiting inside would do the trick, and it did. That gave Mary time to warm up to me anyways. 🙂
Side note: This is not a “Mommy & Me” session, but I will be offering those again this spring for Mother’s Day! You and your kiddos in my backyard just enjoying nature and being outdoors together…cuddling on a blanket and sharing laughs and smiles….and portraits to preserve those memories! I’ll announce official “Mommy & Me” session details before spring comes.
I bet you mama Kim hopes baby #2 has plump, kissable cheeks like Miss Mary. 🙂
Crossing her ankles like a little lady. 🙂
Outfit change! I love colorful plaid!
Making a bouquet with mama. 🙂
A session favorite for me. 🙂
It was nearing bedtime for Mary so mama snuggles were needed…
Some final portraits with my colorful polka dot umbrella!
Thanks so much for coming to Maryland, Kim! I’m excited to hear of baby #2’s arrival, and hopefully I’ll get to meet him/her at MOPS soon!
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!
