New branding for Solo Law Practice
Several years ago, we created a new logo, business cards and letterhead for Jessica Graham of Fionix Consulting and recently we were contacted to work on another project attendant to her business.
After 38 years as a NC Certified Family Law Specialist, Alan Krusch decided to hang out his own shingle in a solo law practice. The new business is Krusch Divorce Resolution and as he was working with Fionix, Jessica kindly brought us on board to help with his branding look and visual vocabulary. Alan specializes in non-litigated family law and was in need of a new brand.
Finalized new logo 
Logo design and front and back of Krusch business card graphic design.
The first thing addressed was the need for a brand new logo and it was important to keep it more traditional, solid, and classic while still incorporating a current, more modern take. As always, Ryan created a logo with meaning and purpose: the arch above the name evokes a bridge, representing the movement from one place in life to another – something akin to both transition and hope. He also used the sky blue and earthy green that Alan is drawn to. This logo mark and font treatment will be used across all of Alan’s promotions, starting with his business cards and letterhead.
Next, we needed updated headshots for his new website and any other collateral, so we captured those, along with several others, at Alan’s new office location. Having created collateral more times than we can count, we knew to capture a combination of traditional location headshots and more interactive environmental portraiture.
Individuals and businesses come to us knowing that they need “the basics”: business cards, headshots and letterhead, and we can provide these easily. What Pixels can do that other professional photographers may not is to provide branding expertise and forethought. We know that beyond those basics, clients will need other promotional items. Ryan has nearly 20 years in branding and marketing experience and our combined knowledge allow us to be branding collaborators with clients – something all businesses need. Clients want to focus on what they do. Pixels can shoulder the branding aspects for you.
Contact us if you have any questions or needs or if you know someone starting a new business or updating a tired brand. We would love to learn more and assist if we can.

kathryn lily interiors photos of designer home
There is an African proverb that goes: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want far, go together.” Collaboration is a beautiful thing for many reasons and recently we experienced that again on the commercial side of our photography business. We were contacted by the owner of KLI – Kathryn Lily Interiors, Jody Kurtz, to photograph her designs for the interiors of a gorgeous home.
KLI collaborated with MBI, the builders of the house at the Blue Ridge Mountain Club development. We’ve photographed MBI projects in the past and when they referred Kurtz to us, we were excited to spend some time focusing on the interior design work.
For this project, Ryan was on duty and worked directly with Jody and a member of her design team, to capture their clean and elegant styling in each room. They discussed the shot list and coordinated seamlessly. Ryan said that because they knew what they wanted and stayed a room or two ahead of him, he was able to get a cache of amazing photos of the entire house in a matter of hours.
In the past, when we’ve taken architectural images for commercial use, we’ve focused on the construction and craftsman aspects of the build, things like cabinetry, countertops, exteriors, decks, custom fireplaces and so on. For this shoot there was shift in focus on the finishes that Kathryn Lily Interiors put into that space. There are shots that show off the overall space, but also more intimate photos of certain design aspects, textures, color patterns and overall balance. Ryan loved working with the KLI team and appreciated the organization and creativity of that partnership and collaboration. Beautiful results in the home and in the images.

NC Commercial Photographers
Professional photographers often fall into specific style buckets, but Ryan and I have been blessed with the opportunity to work in multiple categories, and develop our skills in each. We’ve been at this for a while, gang. Pixels On Paper photographs not only families and babies, weddings and engagements and all the valuable, personal milestones, but we cover events like Merlefest, capture documentary sessions that are more “slice of life” and finally, something we may do more of than you think, commercial photography.
Businesses need images, and stock photography – while valuable – can never give you what custom, proprietary images can: authenticity and identity.
Ryan’s background in graphic design and branding, and our shared knowledge of what businesses often want to convey, but cannot through generic photos, have made it possible for us to understand and meet the needs of commercial enterprises with sharp, beautiful composed and targeted images.
Pixels works with architects and builders, real estate agents and firms, big popular events like the organizers of Merlefest, non-profits, entrepreneurs, small and large businesses and nearly everything in between. Headshots, exterior and interiors, group shots, product images and more.
We bring the same honed skills, years of experience, time and respect for the clients needs to our commercial work that we commit when doing more personal photography.

NC Real Estate Photography | interior and exterior photos
We are hired to capture images of real estate or property for any number of reasons – and we love this work so much. Whether it’s a real estate firm, home builder, interior designer or an individual homeowner wanting quality images to sale their home, we know how to feature the elements that make a space unique and capture images that italicize and showoff architectural details, craftsmanship and the perfect execution of materials.
The first home we photographed was for MBI Builders in 2014 and it is located in the Blue Ridge Mountain Club, in Blowing Rock NC. The home includes loads of custom, high-end finishes throughout – including a custom built island and cabinetry, ceiling details, rock and tile work, and an amazing combination of refined elegance and mountain home feel. The client used these photos for their marketing materials for listing the home and to demonstrate MBI’s capabilities as a company. It is still one of our favorite commercial photo shoots to date.

Be a Part of Merlefest 2019
Our contracts are signed and we’re looking forward to photographing another MerleFest! This will be our 5th year, but our commitment to this annual event goes beyond our official photography duties.
The lineup looks incredible as always and headliners include: Wynonna & The Big Noise, Keb’ Mo’, The Earls of Leicester, Sam Bush, Tyler Childers, Brandi Carlile, and Peter Rowan and The Free Mexican Air Force with Los Texmaniacs. Recently The Avett Brothers, Molly Tuttle and Sean McConnell were added to the mix and we could not be more excited.
Our commitment to Merlefest goes beyond our duties as Official Photographers. Ryan is a member of the North Wilkesboro Rotary club and every year the organization operates the artist merchandise tent. All CDs, albums, t-shirts, hats, posters, and more are sold to the public in this one space and Ryan and I have been volunteering in the merch tent with rotary even longer than we’ve been photographing. We’ll be there again this year doing our part and the Rotary needs volunteers. Anyone interested can contact Ryan directly. If you follow us on Facebook, you can reach out through our page.
For those of you who want to attend and volunteer this year, and we hope you will, because it’s an experience you will not soon forget. The people, the venue, the brilliant musicians, you’ll enjoy being a part of an annual event that brings a lot of joy to our area.
This year’s Merlefest is April 25th through the 28th. See you there!
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.
