One minute you’re holding them in your arms and staring at them like, “where did you come from?” And the next, they are about to graduate from high school to start the first big chapter as an adult. As we prepare for spring weddings, proms, wrap up Merlefest and a dozen other annual happenings, we are also gearing up for the senior portrait season.

For this blog, it seemed appropriate to share some words of wisdom with those about to graduate. I know we’re still a couple of months out, but congratulations!

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The important thing is not to stop questioning.” – Albert Einstein

If you have a senior ready to graduate this year or next year and want to capture this moment for keeps, contact us. We do not specialize is awkwardly posed studio shots. These shots of seniors showoff their personalities and style.

We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs, engagements and weddings, brides, and special events and portraits  of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.
