It’s been a little while since I’ve had a mentor meeting. I had a handful in the spring and really enjoyed teaching other photographers. It certainly affirmed the fact that I do enjoy teaching and sharing my passion about photography. I’ve been continuing the art of teaching recently…style shoot photography shootout/workshop was held last weekend (coming to the blog in the near future!) and I have dreams of a large scale JFP workshop for the next year. So the wheels are turning and we’re all learning! 🙂
I met with Chasity a couple weeks ago. Her husband gifted her a mentor meeting for Mother’s Day, which was such a perfect and unique gift! During Chasity’s meeting, we talked about equipment, using a flash, posing and composing, and starting a business. Chasity does photography on the side, wants to get better at her craft and make her business legal. She’s considering investing in a better camera body and will hopefully no longer be afraid of the flash! Or at least be able to use her natural light surroundings to eliminate the need for a flash. Yay for natural light!
Good luck with your photography adventures, Chasity! Thanks for meeting with me!
Two and three hour mentor meetings are available for any level photographers, business or no business. My August is pretty packed, and September and October are getting there, so if you’re interested in doing a mentor meeting in the next few months, contact me now! You can find out more about mentor meetings here. Have a FAB weekend everyone! 🙂
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!

I left our meeting with a lot more knowledge and understanding of using my flash and taking advantage of using natural light. I took the leap and purchased a Canon 6d. I’m excited to get out there (if it ever stops raining) and apply what I have learned from our meeting. Your a great teacher Jessica. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to learn more from you at your upcoming workshops. Thanks again!
So glad to hear all this, Chasity! And yay for the 6D! Thanks for your kind words and for meeting with me…and good luck with everything!
