Harlow: One Year Portraits, Morgantown WV Photographer

I LOVE doing portrait sessions in new and unique spaces. Parks and farms are pretty and appropriate backdrops, but they sometimes get a little creatively boring and just overdone. So when Harlow’s mom asked if I had any ideas for somewhere colorful and different for her one-year portraits, I happily put my thinking cap on.

I needed a place that was spacious, unique, kid-friendly and colorful! After a few suggestions, we agreed on the Mon County Fair! I know all you Morgantown people are probably thinking “What the heck!?!”, but open your mind and humor the idea for a minute…and I think you’ll find the carnival at the fair made quite a photo-worthy backdrop for this beautiful little girl. 🙂

Harlow’s soft, sweet smile. She’s a beauty!

I think the carnival scene looks quite classic in black and white.

Check out this girl’s style! Baby Toms, pink tutu, big-beaded necklace and a matching bow! Pretty sure she has better style than me. 🙂

It had started to rain just before we met, so Andrea and I were both nervous about whether or not we’d actually pull this off. It was a gray and not-so-pretty day, but the rain held off and the colorful-ness of the carnival helped brighten things up!

Then it was time for some pictures with daddy! We HAD to include the ferris wheel!

Then I suggested we feed Harlow some cotton candy. 🙂

Time for an outfit and location change. We found this pretty spot along the road. 🙂

Tip for future baby and toddler sessions: have entertaining, distracting videos ready on your phone. Daddy Jordan is holding his phone up to keep Harlow’s attention!

Aren’t they the cutest little family of three! I first met them last summer when Harlow was born, so it was neat to see her again as a “grown baby.” Thanks so much for having me, you three! And thanks for being such sports in the dreary weather and at the Mon County Fair. 🙂

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…

Scroll through some favorite blog posts!

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!

"Jessica is amazing!"

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!

" the best decision."
