Last week, I mentioned how my job reunites me with old friends from high school and college (which is so cool and I’m so thankful for it!)…and my recent session with Leah, her husband and their new baby boy was another example of how my photography business has done just that.
Leah and I both went to Geibel Catholic High School. She was a year ahead of me and moved away for work after college. After getting married, she and husband Marc moved back to PA…just in time for the birth of their first son, Benjamin. I hadn’t seen Leah since high school (probably almost ten years!) so it was nice to reunite for such a special occasion. 🙂
Baby Ben definitely wins the award for most well-behaved baby EVER during a newborn session. He literally slept for all but five minutes! Talk about an easy (and snuggly!) subject. 🙂
Leah, you make such a pretty mama! Love these next two portraits of the two of you…
First family photo of the session and I love it! 🙂
Time for baby details! Since Benjamin was sleeping right from the get-go, I decided to get these shots done as soon as possible. You just never know when their sleepiness might go away…
Ah baby toes!
Time for some daddy-son pictures. Marc seemed pretty excited about the opportunity for some solo shots with his new man. 🙂
Let’s show off the nursery a little…
Leah and Marc, you did a WONDERFUL job with Ben’s room!
And just when I thought the session was over, Ben flashed a quick smile!
Leah, it was so fabulous seeing you again after so many years! Thank you for inviting me into your home to take these once-in-a-lifetime pictures. You and Marc were so generous, so easy and I can tell you’re going to be great parents. CONGRATS on your bundle of joy!
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!
