The Coffey Family Outdoor Portrait Photos
Capturing Timeless Moments in the Brushy Mountains of Moravian Falls, NC
As the leaves begin to turn vibrant hues of orange, red, and gold, there’s no better time to photograph a family’s love and connection than during the breathtaking fall season in North Carolina. This was precisely the vision behind the Coffey family’s outdoor portrait session with Pixels on Paper Photography. Nestled in the serene beauty of the Brushy Mountains in Moravian Falls, the setting created a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable memories.
The Magic of Fall in Moravian Falls
Moravian Falls, NC, is one of the hidden gems of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its rolling hills, majestic views, and colorful fall foliage provide the perfect canvas for capturing the essence of nature and the warmth of family. The fall season adds an extra layer of charm to this already beautiful area—crisp air, golden sunlight, and the smell of autumn leaves filling the air. It’s as if nature herself was inviting the Coffey family to step into a scene straight out of a storybook.
Pixels on Paper Photography couldn’t have chosen a more stunning location for the family’s portrait session. With the Brushy Mountains as a backdrop, the fall colors provided the perfect complement to the family’s vibrant personalities. From the golden yellows of the oak trees to the deep reds of the maples, the landscape itself seemed to celebrate the Coffey family’s bond.
The Family Connection: Capturing Moments of Joy
The Coffey family, full of love and laughter, was a joy to photograph. Their close-knit relationships and natural connection were apparent from the moment the session began. Whether it was a shared laugh between siblings or a loving embrace between parents, Pixels on Paper Photography worked with them to capture these candid moments that truly reflect their story.
One of the most beautiful parts of family portraits is seeing the genuine expressions of love and affection between family members. As the sun dipped lower into the sky, creating that warm, golden hour light, the Coffey family shared moments of joy in front of the camera. From playful interactions with their children to tender moments between the parents, each frame told a story of togetherness and affection.
A Family’s Legacy in Nature
Outdoor portraits in the mountains are not just about taking a picture; they’re about capturing the essence of the family in a place that means something special to them. The Brushy Mountains are more than just a beautiful backdrop—they are part of the Coffey family’s story. Whether they’ve spent years living there, hiking the trails, exploring the woods, and simply enjoying the beauty of this area, these portraits will forever be a reminder of this special time in their lives.
The combination of nature’s splendor and family love resulted in photographs that transcend time. These portraits will be passed down through generations, each one telling the story of the Coffey family and the beautiful autumn day they spent together in the Brushy Mountains.
The Final Frame
Whether it’s the stillness of the mountains or the warmth of autumn sunlight, the Coffey family’s outdoor portrait session is a perfect example of how photography can capture not just a moment in time, but the emotions, connections, and beauty that make family memories unforgettable. For those considering family portraits that blend nature’s beauty with authentic connection, a portrait photography session with Pixels on Paper Photography could be just what you need to create your own timeless memories.

One Year of Baby Milestone Photos
If you’ve ever heard a friend, relative or even yourself lamenting the fact that you didn’t get more photos of specific baby milestones, then take note. Pixels On Paper Photography offers a “Baby’s First Year Photo Package” that we thoughtfully put together so that you’d never look back in regret. We’ve just recently wrapped up photographing a full year of photos for this recently turned one year old, Holten Parker.
Newborn Baby Photos
Newborn portraits are first, of course. You cannot have a Baby Package with no baby. Labor is over and now comes the fun part: raising this little angel through the first year. Don’t worry; you can do it and so too can you get those newborn portraits taken. Part of our studio is designed specifically for these sessions, with a lovely and private place to rest, nurse and change. We suggest that you bring in your new bundle sometime during their first 10 days. We make it easy on you! This isn’t our first rodeo.
Six Month Old Baby Photos
At six months, we bring families back in for more portraits or in this case an outdoor location. Babies are ready to sit up – making them perfect models – but they are not yet walking, so we can get them alert and happy, curious and surrounded by siblings, toys, lights or in a theme. At six months, they are incredibly responsive and some of the best portraits we get are at these sessions.
One Year Old Photos
At one year, it’s time for a party, so families who buy this package set up cake smashes, celebrate on location, at our studio, with a theme, costume changes – you name it. Kiddos at one year may or may not be walking, but they are alert, are showing their personalities and are ready for their close ups.
Holten comes from a long line of football heritage. In this case we used props from his one year birthday celebration to create a custom and unique football themed one year cake smash photo backdrop in our photography studio.
The full year baby photos package deal
For newborn, six month and one year sessions, clients receive a 10 x 10 custom designed album that includes all of your favorite images, as well as an 8 x 10 portrait from each session at the end of the year. If you choose to add a maternity shoot, it’s a minimal upgrade and completely worth it. The baby package also comes with a 20% discount on all card orders, so you can send announcements or holiday cards using these images and maximize your package.
We hope you’ll call us if your curious, have questions or want to chat about the news that you’re expecting (CONGRATULATIONS!).

Spring Outdoor Portraits in the Orchards
Hello, Outdoor Lovers and Lovers of all things Pink! Even though we’ve not quite reached the first day of spring, you can almost feel it just around the corner of our part of the North Carolina Mountains. Pixels On Paper Photography has the exclusive use of a gorgeous orchard and for more than a decade we’ve photographed babies, families, proposals, engagement and prom photos there. It’s time to schedule yours with us for spring 2024.
For us, this place is magic and more than a few families have chosen to return with us over the years to chronicle the growth of their children or specific milestones. It’s fresh and pretty and there are loads of places to grab portraits that make heirlooms and perfect Mother’s Day or Grandparent’s Day gifts.
We are now booking sessions for March and April, so contact us and let’s start plotting a session among the blossoms. These sessions are limited and happen only for a narrow window of time based totally on whatever weather Mother Nature throws our way. Get on our schedule early!

Looking back at 2023
We are diving head first into 2024 but not before completing a blog post that recaps the photos of our client’s and friends from 2023. We continue to feel incredibly blessed that so many each and every year trust us to photograph and capture the most important memories of their lives. We met some amazing people, felt like a part of so many of these people’s lives, and more often than not were right there along side of them having just as much fun. We gained numerous friendships last year. 2023 brought senior portraits, family portraits, newborn photography, photos of children, pet pics, and commercial photography both in our studio and out and about on location. We are inpatient when it comes to figuring out what 2024 will bring and excited about the photographs we will capture and designs we will create
The following are a few of our personal favorite images from some of those we photographed in 2023. Enjoy the view!

Meade Family Outdoor Family Portrait Photos
It’s hard NOT to get sentimental writing a blog about this family. For starters, we’ve been taking pictures of them for over a decade. Secondly, we love them. They are friends that go into the True Blue category.
We took these images at Blue Ridge Mountain Club in Blowing Rock where the views and weather rarely disappoint. We go way back with these guys, as you’ll see in the image blocks below with dates attached. They are so photogenic and I love looking back to see how much kids Slater and Alarie have grown. Documenting their lives has been a pleasure and each photo shoot is way more Good Time than Work Time.
Slater is a Junior PGA Golfer, which is mind-blowing to me. The boy’s got skills! But it’s watching him play with my son Finley, really taking the time to create a bond with him that touches me. I’ve said it many times: great parents make great kids. The Meade’s are proof.
Mom Carisa is and has been a wonderful friend to me. I remember bringing my son Finley home, with all the emotions attached to those first weeks, and there was Carisa with dinner and outstretched arms. She wanted to snuggle a newborn as much as I needed to get a bit of peace and reassurance.
Husband, dad and man of a million smiles Bradley owns MBI Builders and has contracted with Pixels on Paper to capture images of the amazing work MBI does. To see more of those images, check out our Commercial category.
Alarie is a lively little sprite – ready to run, laugh and plays softball like a champ. Watch out for her pitch! I don’t want time to hurry, but I am excited to see what this girl becomes as she grows into a young woman.
I would be no kind of entrepreneur if I didn’t mention that we offer an extra service for those clients who want to create a wall in their home with images that Pixels has taken. We don’t make you download from a site, or spend hours in the cloud, only to have to sort out sizing and framing. People are too busy and we consider it part of doing what we do best: creating heirlooms and memories. For the Meade’s, this wall is in their staircase and seeing it fill up does my heart good.
Needless to say, I look forward to many more photo sessions with this wonderful family in the years ahead.
