Heather and Jason, my sister- and brother-in-law, are no strangers to my camera. I photographed their wedding in May 2010 as one of my first solo weddings as JFP. Then, I photographed them in the summer of 2012 during our family vacation to Emerald Isle. Jason, just like Brian, doesn’t love taking pictures, but I know Heather loves a good portrait, so Jason’s learned to suck it up and put a smile on. 🙂
With our baby boy due on February 7th and Heather and Jason’s little tike due on March 6th, our Fike family is going to be quite busy over the next couple of months! It’s an exciting time for us and I cannot wait to see whether Heather and Jason will add a boy or girl to our family. We know we’ll at least have one of each out of the three cousins…what will one more boy or one more girl bring to the table? Let’s just say this summer and next holiday season should be quite interesting (and fun!) for the Fikes. 🙂
While visiting Brian’s family in Virginia for Christmas, Heather asked me to take their maternity portraits. So we put together an easy, at-home session for she and Jason as they await the arrival of their own little bundle of joy…
It was only appropriate to snap some portraits in front of the Christmas lights! They make such a pretty, bokeh-y background…
Pregnancy has not taken a toll on Heather…or at least it seems that way. She looks great for being in the third trimester!
One of my favorites from the session! I hadn’t originally planned on using this spot for pictures, but the light drew me in…
Baby Fike’s nursery is a work-in-progress, but it’s already filled with some homemade goodies…
One last outfit change and we headed outside! It was almost 70 degrees in Virginia that December Saturday!
Love this portrait of this mama-to-be. 🙂
This tree across the street from Heather and Jason’s home caught my eye. Definitely made for an interesting backdrop…
Heather and Jason, I’m so excited for you guys! Having two cousins just a month from each other is going to be so much fun! I cannot wait to see what your baby Fike will be…and what you’ll name he or she. 🙂 Good luck with the final two months!
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!

These photos are so sweet. So excited for you, Heather and Jason!! And Jessica, I love looking at your photography! I worked with Heather, and I always see your awesome photos of your adorable baby girl at your mom-in-law’s office when I get my teeth pearled up! 🙂
I used to work with Heather and we live in the same neighborhood. She looks amazing and you really captured her as the person I know.
