LJ’s senior session was a highly anticipated event. His mom contacted me back in May and we originally scheduled the session for August. But since LJ and his parents would be driving all the way from Hagerstown, MD to Morgantown, WV for the session (so flattered!!), we rescheduled instead of taking a chance on the weather forecast. So finally, this past weekend rolled around, the forecast looked good and LJ and his parents made it to wild and wonderful West Virginia!
I immediately felt comfortable with LJ and his parents. I was a little nervous going into the session because most high school boys aren’t into taking pictures and most parents aren’t into driving hours and hours just to get pictures taken. But that didn’t seem to phase LJ and his parents. They greeted me with huge smiles and were so glad session time had finally arrived! I knew it was going to be a good evening. 🙂
LJ was cool, calm and collected the entire session…even with his parents watching and even in front of me, a strange lady he’d never met before that was making him pose and use his model face for the camera. He was a champ and a delight to photograph! I’m pretty sure the senior girls are going to be drooling over these pictures. 😉
Truth: first shot of the session! LJ was ready for the camera, no doubt!
One of my favorites! I think it shows a little inner spunk to LJ. 🙂
A little artistic contrast…soccer uniform vs. urban edge.
LJ had no problem trying a serious face for a model look. Now that’s a senior guy who’s comfortable with himself!
Another fave for me!
And another FAVE!
It was important that we take a few with his scout uniform…
We took way more pictures than probably expected for a typical senior guy, but LJ made it so easy and never once led me to believe he was getting tired or bored. I think he pretty much rocked it and I cannot wait to do more seniors in the near future!
LJ and parents, thanks a million for coming all the way to Morgantown for a session with me! I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys and I really appreciate your support. ENJOY the pictures and good luck with everything this year, LJ! 🙂
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!

Hi Janet! Thanks so much for your kind words. 🙂 If you’re interested in more info for a session, visit the contact page on my website (https://jessicafikephotography.com/contact/) or send me an email at jessica@jessicafikephotography.com.
He is real cute and looked relaxed. I’m thinking some company could pick him up to model clothing after seeing these pictures.
Thanks everyone! Jessica made this session go so smooth. LJ was very comfortable with her and the drive was so worth it. Jessica took pics at a wedding I attended a few years ago and I knew then she was the one I wanted for senior pics. Overall very wonderful experience!
Thanks so much for all the kind words, Gina! I really loved working with you guys! Seriously such an easy and fun session for me!!!
