I met Kara and Trevor about 2.5 years ago when they were pregnant with Henry. We first did a maternity session, then a birth session and finally a newborn session. My most memorable experience with them was Henry’s birth because it was my first and only birth photography experience. It was such a neat and fulfilling experience and I really enjoyed hanging out with these guys, so I was secretly hoping they’d ask me to do more pictures. 🙂 When Kara emailed me about a Mommy & Me session this past spring, I knew it would be a perfect opportunity for all of us! Kara,Trevor and Henry graciously traveled to my backyard for their session. I hadn’t seen any of them in almost 2.5 years so it made for a nice little reunion. We took Henry to the woods, let him play with bubbles and explore like little boys do. Then we let him play on our new swing set while mama Kara and I got to catch up. It was a wonderful session, and a wonderful visit! Enjoy my favorites…

We used the Gazillion Bubbles “Tornado” machine to capture our first pictures. I highly recommend this machine to anyone with kids! It’s only $10 at Walmart and it literally blows a gazillion bubbles. I also recommend buying extra bubbles because you’ll run out quickly. 🙂
A session favorite!

Our first portraits of mommy and son. 🙂
I always include dad in the Mommy & Me portraits. He tags along and helps make the kids smile. He deserves it. 🙂
Henry liked looking for bugs!

Some black and white favorites. 🙂
A couple of dad and Henry…
Another favorite for me! 🙂
Blowing dandelions!
So cute…love the smiles!
I think this sums up life with a two-year old quite well. 🙂
Â
Kara and Trevor, it was so wonderful seeing you all again! Thanks for coming to Maryland and for allowing me to capture more of your life together. You guys have been awesome clients and I hope we can get together again in the future. 🙂
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!
