I’m doing a good amount of travel over the next few months and am excited to get away and explore new areas of the country. While most of my travel will be for vacation, I’m hoping to do a little bit of work during my visits. I think it would be just grand to do a beach session at Emerald Isle, a boardwalk session at Ocean City, a rocky coast session in Portland, Maine, a city session in Boston, or a neon sign boneyard session in Vegas. Now I just need some subjects!

This may be a long shot, but I’m hoping there’s some people in the five intended cities that either read my blog or have some friends and family that live in the five cities. Maybe you yourself would be interested in a session? Maybe your friends and family would be interested in a session (pass the word on to them!)? Whatever the situation may be, I’d love to take some pictures for you in one of these five unique and beautiful places! Just imagine, a sunset walk along the empty, evening beach at Ocean City followed by an adventurous stroll through the many people, lights and sites of the boardwalk. We could get some pictures like this. Oh I would just die to shoot in front of the iconic neon signs kept to preserve the history of Sin City! We could get once-in-a-lifetime pictures like this!

I’m just so excited about my upcoming travel and really hope I get to do some portrait sessions at these beautiful places! Here’s my schedule:

End of July – Boston, MA and Portland, ME
End of August – Ocean City, MD
Mid-September – Emerald Isle, NC
End of September – Las Vegas

If you’re at all interested, email me PLEASE! I’ll give you exact dates and we’ll talk details. 🙂  jessica@jessicafikephotography.com

And for another example of the AMAZING portraits we could capture, here are some pictures I took of our family on the beach at Emerald Isle last summer…

First up, my Uncle Brian, Aunt Noelle and Breckin!

Now Brian, Ally and myself! Mom had to take these. It was super windy and not-so-ideal shooting situations, but we made it work. 🙂

Ally was only 8 months old during our beach vacation last year. This year she’ll be 21 months old so our next round of beach portraits should look much different. And hopefully she’ll like the sand and ocean this year!
