Rubbing Elbows With Erik Estrada

I recently received an email about shooting corporate events and holiday parties, and while I don’t at all mind being surrounded by people and photographing their celebrations and accomplishments, shooting such events just doesn’t fit my style of business or photography. I have, however, photographed a couple events for my church as a volunteer and I don’t at all mind helping them out every once in a while. First it was their phenomenal, impressive and moving Christmas service back in December. Then they asked me to come rub elbows with the famous Erik Estrada and mayor of Morgantown. Pretty cool, eh?

So I spent the later part of last Friday evening watching the Christian, based-on-a-true-story movie “Finding Faith” and photographing a very energetic, very smiley Erik Estrada. For those of you who don’t know Erik, he was one of the stars of the very successful TV series “CHiP’s” in the late 70s and early 80s. Apparently people like my mother-in-law thought he was quite dreamy and many women had his picture on their walls. Here’s a visual…

Now many moons later, he’s joined the Safe Surfin’ Foundation & Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces around the country to help protect children from online sexual predators. He spoke at the end of the movie showing at the church event and I could tell immediately that he’s quite passionate about this topic and is really proud of the police officers who fight such crime in our area. I’ve never swooned over him or even seen any of his “CHiP’s” moments (and I don’t officially photograph corporate events), but it was still neat to be in his presence…

I told you, he’s a smiley guy!

Erik and Pastor Tim!

This was a typical reaction from the women in the room. 🙂

So no, I don’t officially photograph corporate events or holiday parties, but I’ll make an exception for my church…and for the opportunity to rub elbows with a celeb. 🙂

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!

"Jessica is amazing!"

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!

" the best decision."
