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!).
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.

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!

Gavin’s Five Year Spring Outdoor Portrait Photos
If you follow this blog, then you’ll find that most times our clients become great friends, and Jessica is one of those clients and friends. I adore her, and we have been photographing her son Gavin since his arrival. Now this little man is 5 YEARS OLD! Here’s a peek at his fourth birthday session, where you can also link to previous portrait sessions.
For the big number five, we decided to meet at a park in downtown Charlotte, NC. Putting this kiddo in a room with props is a fool’s game. Gavin is high energy, which is not code for “too much.” He’s delicious and we’ve enjoyed photographing him over the years, but he is all boy and loves to be outside, getting dirty and mixing it up. He is fueled by adventure and exploration. During our last session, he pulled his shirt off and made a break for it on foot. I remember Jessica taking off after him in her wedge heels. His energy was the same during this session.
Ryan captured these images and made sure that Gavin was able to sample all the fun this park had to offer. Happy Birthday, Buddy! Fly, run, play, soldier on and we’ll see you soon!

Walker’s One Year Portrait Photos
Walker Tibbett DID IT! He made it to his first birthday and was helped along by the child favorite “Little Blue Truck” and all the fanfare and cuteness that comes with it. Walker belongs to the Joey and Brooke Tibbett – a couple we have photographed and loved for years!
Mom and Dad – while not featured in this particular blog – are two of the sweetest people we’ve met and had take advantage of our wedding and one year baby package, so we’ve been fans of theirs for a while. Their engagement portraits, wedding, Brooke’s maternity portraits, Walker’s newborn and 6 month images will tell you everything you need to know. There is love in abundance. [You know what? Don’t even look at those links. You’ll be overwhelmed…] This family and this kid pack on more cute than the average human can take.
If you missed the spoiler in the images, go back.
Joey and Brooke are expecting their second child and sweet Walker is going to be a big brother! Brooke bought the t-shirt and wanted it included to make the announcement. Congratulations, you guys and Happy Birthday to Walker.

The Beauty of Twos
I’m happy with odd numbers, including our little family of three. But there is something nearly perfect about a duo…. a couple…. a pair. With Valentine’s Day approaching, I’ve been thinking about the beauty of two and finding little couplets everywhere. So here’s a little foray into the beauty of twosomes!
A parent and kid – even when the family is much bigger – make a moment for me. As a mom of one child, I get to pour out a great deal of myself into my time with Finley. I love images of one parent focused solely on that one face. It’s proof that no matter how many times you’ve been blessed with a kid, each one is singular and a miracle.
Images of siblings just warm me up, especially when the kids are younger. They don’t know yet who they are, but they are certain to know – in these moments – that they have each other. And isn’t that enough?
