This past summer, I realized there was a high demand for family portraits while on vacation at Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. I had photographed one family the year before, but didn’t yet see the trend. It really is a fabulous idea. You’re staying at a beautiful home in a beautiful area. And on you’re on vacation with your whole family. The family that’s hardly ever all together! It’s the perfect recipe for family photo ops!
I met the following family last summer during their family vacation and was honored to photograph them again this year! Their “photography organizer” contacted me six months in advance (and I thanked her for it!) and we put her on the calendar early. I was anxious to see everyone again, especially the little ones. It’s so neat to watch clients grow! Thanks for having me again, Cindy and family! I hope we can continue your family vacation portrait sessions. 🙂
Their vacation home was located just steps from this gorgeous mountaintop vista!
We were able to get multiple pictures of all the kiddos happy and looking towards the camera! Myself and the adults were quite excited. 🙂
The whole gang!
One more attempt at a group shot of the kiddos!
Then we took some individual family pictures…
Sometimes portrait sessions with young kiddos call for games! Ring around the rosie works for this group!
And we ended with some scooter rides. 🙂
If your family is planning to visit the Deep Creek Lake area for vacation and you’re thinking about using it as a photo op, let me know! I love taking pictures in the beautiful Garrett County, Maryland. 🙂
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!
