Bridgewater College homecoming is one of my most favorite times of the year. I loved my experience as a student at BC and am thrilled anytime I get to return and remember the good ‘ol college days. Reuniting with friends, faculty and staff from that great place brings warmth and joy to my heart and I hope I get to attend many more homecomings in the future!
Because I enjoy homecoming so much, and because I wanted some kind of a break, I decided to only do one portrait session while visiting. Former BC students Erin and Mitch emailed me far in advance and snagged that spot! I never officially met Erin and Mitch while at Bridgewater, but I know who each of them were because they were athletes. It’s neat what brings me together with well-known faces from my days on campus. 🙂
Erin and Mitch wanted to include their dogs in pictures, too, but I was not expecting such large animals! Brutis and Maverick may be the biggest dogs I’ve ever seen, but they were so well-behaved! They definitely turned some heads as we walked around campus…
First up, the “famous” McKinney building…
Check out how well-behaved the dogs were! Looking the same way with the same stance at the same time…great posers! 🙂
Erin lived in Blue Ridge for one year! It’s fun to revisit your old dorm rooms and kind of hard to believe we had such living quarters back in the day.
Love this picture! 🙂
If it weren’t for the dogs’ Virginia Tech scarves, I’d say they could be the next poster family for Bridgewater College! 😉
It was so nice meeting you, Erin and Mitch! Thanks so much for taking time out of your homecoming weekend to take some pictures with me. You guys have done a great job raising two wonderful dogs. See you at the next homecoming!
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!
