I first met Miss Alexis at Ally’s preschool. She and Ally quickly became friends and Alexis soon after became very interested in who I was. After she found out I was Ally’s mom, she greeted me every time I dropped Ally off at school. One time, she even brought me a book and tried sitting on my lap! Alexis is a cutie and a sweetheart and now wants a high five when she greets me at school. 🙂 Alexis turned three in June and her mom wanted to document her birthday with some portraits. Since they live close to us, I invited them for a session in our backyard. Alexis did so well during her session so we treated she and Ally to some playtime on our swing set afterwards. Happy belated birthday, Miss Alexis! Thanks for being Ally’s good buddy at school! 🙂

This girl was READY to smile!
She was also happy to use Ally’s pink chair as a prop. 🙂
I love these soft, innocent looks from Alexis…
Time for a family portrait!
Everyone knows little kids love to swing with mom and dad! 🙂
Striking a pose. 🙂
Alexis is THREE!
Some portraits with Mom…
Â
Alexis was very serious when counting her mom’s beads…
Love these big smiles!
And of course, some portraits with Dad…
Out to the field to pick some flowers! Made for a great distraction. 🙂
Â
A favorite for me. 🙂
Haha striking another pose!
Â
This girl is serious about her counting! Whether it’s beads or flowers, she’s going to count them right!
Such a pretty portrait. 🙂

One thing I learned during my session with Alexis is that telling a little one to smile doesn’t always produce the best smile. Telling them NOT to smile might be the way to go. In the picture on the left, Alexis is smiling. In the picture on the right, Alexis is not smiling. 😉
She blew us some kisses!
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!

Loved the picture. She is a lucky child to have a fun mom and dad who love her so.
