I met Esther and her family in the Deep Creek Lake MD area on my drive home from Virginia last weekend. I had never been to that part of the lake and this was only my second experience with family reunion pictures, so it was kind of like a session of exploring for me…new friends from Pittsburgh and Chicago, a new area of Deep Creek and a new way of taking family pictures. I’m glad Esther told me her family was a fun group and that they’d be open to creative pictures, because that’s exactly what I kept in mind during their session…
First up, grandma, grandpa and their grandkids!
Now just the cousins…
And of course I couldn’t let a group of 4-9 year olds just sit there and smile. I had to let them have a little fun. 🙂
How cute are Esther’s kids? They had no problem squeezing each other for the portrait on the left. 🙂
After we took a few simple portraits of everyone standing and smiling, I got this idea…again, just letting the kids be kids. 🙂
Great-grandma with her grandkids and great-grandkids!
Four boys and one girl, this is appropriate. 🙂
I couldn’t make the entire group jump in the air, so I at least had the kids do it!
I love their family reunion shirts! Peeps are some of my favorite things to eat during Easter! 🙂
And a few pictures on the dock to round out the session…
Check out Ethan’s reaction! Hahaha 🙂
Thanks for such a great session, you guys…and thanks for taking the time to capture such wonderful moments during your family vacation. I hope you all enjoyed Deep Creek and I hope you’ll enjoy your pictures. You were all lots of fun! 🙂
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!
