Gracelynn turns one – boho outdoor and cake smash photos
Our garden grows the most interesting blooms and recently presented a new one: we call it “the Gracelynn.” It’s bright, delicate and you cannot stop looking at it.
Gracelynn came to our outdoor garden studio to celebrate her first birthday and it was the perfect spot to grab photos of this lovely little flower. We created a boho setting for her to smash her very first birthday cake, but some of the real gems from this shoot are from her interacting with her fellow blooms.
Gracelynn’s mom chose a palette of pink, pale rose and neutrals and we just let this girl shine. She did not need any coaching!
Happy Birthday, Little Girl! You felt like a burst of spring in our midst. We hope that you’ll come back to see us any season that suits you.
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 newborns and families, 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.

Astrid turns One
This little maiden is Astrid and she’s currently a perfectly delightful little one year old. I can personally attest to this. We captured her parents, Macy and Jesse, for the maternity shoot and they were so excited, so beautiful, and my time with them showed me, especially during the height of Covid, how much hope was still in the world. I love it when my job reminds me of that.
We photographed Astrid’s newborn session in the studio, met up with the three of them for the 6 month session in the same location as their maternity photos and finally again for her one year session in our outdoor portrait garden. I love the lighting and the setting we chose. Babies in the outdoors just please me.
As with Astrid’s six month photo session, I pulled Mom and Dad away for a couple of shots just of them. It’s important to see yourselves as a couple too and not just parents. I’m so excited to see this little nugget grow into the girl she’s going to be.

Gifts that Last = Photos
As we all take the deep breath before “the Season” is in full swing, we’re also making lists of people we love and what they might love to have this year for the holidays. While you’re in that mode, we hope to remind you that portraits make gifts that last a lot longer and mean way more than most gifts we’re being tempted to by.
Portraits make The BEST Holiday Gifts
We are now also taking reservations for At Home Christmas portraits and these not only make popular gifts, the portrait session itself is fun. We LOVE these sessions.
If you have had portraits taken by Pixels, please contact us about canvases, prints, books and cards. We are currently scheduling in home holiday photo sessions, so contact us at 336-990-0080 or email mail@pixelsonpaper.biz and let’s start planning!

Holiday Photos at Your Home
We are once again offering Christmas at Home photo sessions and we are already booking! Families are ready to create and document memories in their own home and we are just the photographers to help them do it.
Nothing is more important during the holidays (or anytime for that matter) than family. I want a way to create a personal experience for each of our clients. I want to capture families gathered around trees with handmade ornaments, trees where all the fragile ornaments are at a height away from little fingers, stockings are personalized and tree toppers are those that have been passed through generations. I’d love to capture children in their Christmas PJs while they show me an ornament they made at school. Children years from now will recognize their surroundings in a photograph. What it looks like is different for every single one of our clients.
The Andrews family (below) baked and decorated and played games. Their house and halls were decked and decorated beautifully.
While you may not know exactly what you want your holiday portraits or cards to look like, or what you want your family to be wearing, or if you want to include pets, it’s time to call and schedule your in-home portraits session.
Pajamas and tree decorating. Check.
Wrapping presents around a fire. No problem.
Playing touch football in the yard. Sure.
Decorating cookies and destroying the kitchen. Why not?
Playing board games or lying in a pile watching the Grinch or reading The Night Before Christmas. Absolutely.
… whatever the tableau, we’re in to brainstorm, laugh with you, help with the idea and document it. At home sessions are WAY MORE FUN than you know, unless you’ve booked us for a one in the past. Families have told us how thrilled they are to have these specific memories forever.
The Yorks (below) asked us to their home not long after their third child, a daughter Tinleigh, and we had time around the fire pit to roast marshmallows and discuss Santa’s plans.
The Holland family (above in 2019 and below in 2016) invited us over and between the decorating and games, we captured fantastic images of this family of 5.
The Minick family (below) starting their own family Christmas traditions when their children Amelia and Matthew were much smaller.

Fall Family Portraits
The leaves are rapidly changing and families are pulling out their sweaters, boots, scarves and hats and engaging us for fall family photos. It’s a gorgeous time of year and with the holidays upon us soon, you can be sure that it’s time to create wall portraits, photo holiday cards, calendars and gifts. It’s also ALWAYS a good time to capture memories.
If you’re in the area or from the area, contact us for ideas and scheduling fall photos in the North Carolina Mountains.
