As a photographer who is often thinking about future jobs and new ideas, I frequently experience portrait possibility visions in my head. The farm fields along the road in the country, a large tree filled with colorful blossoms, a row of old colorful town homes…such things spark inspiration and visions of beautiful images end up swirling through my mind. I get excited, motivated and antsy, and usually cannot wait to until my next session or wedding comes along so I can use that inspiration.
But recently, my visions have been kicking it up a notch. I have ideas for portraits that don’t exist as easily as the farms in the country or the old homes in downtown. I have ideas that involve a little bit more planning, a little bit more exploring…and I need your help!
I really, really, REALLY want to shoot in the following locations: a carnival (full of lights, rides and a fair environment), on a boat on a body of water (speed, paddle or canoe), at a lavender farm (when the lavender is in bloom), a hot air balloon festival (or even just one hot air balloon would do) and the “famous” Candyland of Garrett County, MD. I’d like to have an engaged couple or a couple looking to update their portraits as my subjects. Some of these may need to happen sooner than later (I believe lavender blooms in June?), but others can wait until later in the summer or even early fall. I think they’d all make amazing, unique portrait session locations and I cannot wait to make it all happen!
So who can help me? Who would like to be photographed with their love in one of these totally unique, totally rad locations? If you’re up for it, email me at jessica@jessicafikephotography.com so we can start talking about the possibilities! And as a bonus, there’s a nice little discount involved since you’d be helping me achieve my portrait possibilities. 🙂
And just in case you can’t quite vision what I’m envisioning, here’s a Pinterest board to help explain and inspire…
Thanks to all the photographers who have photographed in such locations and shared their awesome work. You truly help to inspire. 🙂

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!

I would be game for any of these! Your thought of the lavender field make me think how cool it would be to do a shoot in a field of sunflowers too!
