WOW Deep Creek friends. THANK YOU! Thank you for shopping the For The Love of Deep Creek shop! It's so exciting to know that so many of you will have Deep Creek goodies to enjoy soon! Orders will ship this week!

So what's coming next!? The hoodies and crewneck sweatshirt were CLEAR favorites, so I'll definitely be bringing those back for another sale. But what else would you like to see!? What other Deep Creek goodies should we add!?

Long-sleeve t-shirts, kiddos t-shirts, beanies, and even tie-dye have been suggested. Will you help me decide? Leave a comment below with some thoughts!

Thank you for your support, and for sharing and spreading the Deep Creek LOVE!

Holler and happy fall! #fortheloveofthelake #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcountymd #deepcreekphotographer #visitmaryland #marylandgetaway

YAY! Tomorrow is the big day! The First Collection of the NEW For The Love of Deep Creek online shop launches tomorrow! I started For The Love of Deep Creek over a year ago (almost two years ago if you count the brainstorming and planning) and what started out as a way for me to get more Deep Creek info to my visiting family and destination couple photography clients turned into a Passion Project. I love Deep Creek and am so excited about what this area is doing...and what it has to offer! So For The Love of Deep Creek is here to serve...to share and spread the love of Deep Creek so people can truly and better enjoy our corner of Maryland! I knew I eventually wanted there to be “merch” or goodies to go along with this project and I tried to introduce some last year. But the timing wasn’t right. With my @jessicafike photography work changing and with a lack of childcare and online school because of COVID (that’s the hubs and kiddos in the picture...throwing leaves last year), I decided now could be the time for the new online shop launch. Something for me to do while I’m home with the kids and while I’m shooting less. And just one more way that I hope For The Love of Deep Creek can share and spread the love of Deep Creek! Shop launches on the 24th at 12 noon EST and the products will be available for 48 hours only! I hope to see you there! 🥰🎉😎 #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcountymd

SHOP LAUNCH TOMORROW!!! These Deep Creek Goodies along with some others will be ready for shopping at 12 noon EST tomorrow, September 24th! Join me LIVE here at FTL today at 1pm to see what else will be up for grabs! 🥰🎉 Because hey, when you’re sharing and spreading the love of Deep Creek, you gotta look good. 😎 #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake

FIRST DAY OF FALL! 🍂🍁 Have you been to Deep Creek in fall!? Oh man, the leaves! The leaves are worth the trip! Fall does arrive a little early for us, so our leaves will peak sooner than our neighbors (right before or at the middle of October seems like the regular). So if you can time it right, and even if it’s just for a day trip, I recommend coming when our leaves are in peak. @visitdeepcreek actually has fall foliage driving tours if you’re wondering where exactly you should go to see the color...🥰🌲 #fortheloveofthegreatoutdoors #fortheloveoffall #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcountymd #mdinfocus #visitmaryland #marylandgetaway #deepcreekphotographer #jessicafikephotography

FREE GIFT! The first 20 shoppers in the For The Love of Deep Creek online shop launch on Thursday will receive this free sticker! The #TundraofMaryland sticker! Deep Creek is a little chillier than our neighbors and we usually see temperatures 10 degrees cooler (and sometimes more!) than those over the state and county borders. We also get a lot of snow. So I’ve been lovingly calling this place the #TundraofMaryland since 2013. 😊😎 See you on Thursday, September 24th at 12 noon for some Deep Creek Goodie shopping! #fortheloveofsnow #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcountymd #marylandgetaway #visitmaryland #marylandtourism
