Photographing Timeless Moments in the Wilkes Peach Orchards
Spring brings with it a sense of renewal and beauty, and what better way to celebrate the season than by capturing timeless moments in one of Western North Carolina’s most scenic locations? If you’re looking for a stunning backdrop for your next photography session, the peach orchards of Wilkes, NC offer the perfect setting. Whether you want family portraits, engagement photos, or senior pictures, these orchards provide the ideal combination of natural beauty and serene elegance.
Why Choose Wilkes’s Peach Orchards?
The peach orchards in the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes are renowned for their breathtaking scenery, especially during the narrow window of time in spring when the trees are in full bloom. The soft pink and white blossoms create a dreamy atmosphere, perfect for portraits that capture the essence of new beginnings. The gentle rolling hills and rows of blossoming trees provide a natural beauty to every photo.
Not only is the location stunning, but the peace and calm of the orchards create a relaxed atmosphere for photo sessions. Whether you’re celebrating an important milestone or simply creating memories with loved ones, these orchards offer a backdrop that makes every moment feel special.
Ideal for All Types of Photography Sessions
Spring peach orchard portraits are incredibly versatile for any type of photo session. The beauty of the setting makes it a perfect place for:
- Family Portraits: Whether it’s a family reunion, a spring tradition, or just a chance to gather everyone for a professional photo, the orchards create an enchanting backdrop.
- Engagement Photos: There’s something magical about the soft peach blossoms that set the perfect romantic tone for engagement photos. Capture the excitement of your new chapter in this natural setting.
- Senior Portraits: High school seniors can embrace their milestone moment by posing against the delicate peach blooms, making their portraits truly stand out with a one-of-a-kind touch.
- Seasonal Updates: If it’s been a while since your last professional photo session, there’s no better time to update your family or personal head shot photo. The vibrant spring setting makes it the ideal time to capture the moment.

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!
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!

My love of details in photography
As we straddle the seasons (what North Carolinians know as “my new daffodils invited the last snow” season), I’m noticing the details everywhere. It got me thinking about the details I love to capture in my photographs. There is always a subject – always a story being told – but it’s the details that we hover over.
In that vein – here are some favorites. Happy Spring, gang! Don’t worry – you’ll get that hour back one way or another.
Engagements
Engagement portraits speak to love and the anticipation of your public union. But for me, these images are transformed when I can capture the small glances, the body English, the closeness between the almost married. These images take my breath away still.
Maternity
Maternity portraits are some of my favorites. Mothers in that mode of nesting and at their most happy, full and ripe. But I always encourage the father or father-to-be to take part in front of the camera. The union of the parents always comes through in the images and the details of care and excitement come through.
Newborns
There aren’t enough blog posts to contain my favorite images of babies being …………. babies.

Portraits: Plan your year!
Yep. You nailed it. I miss you. All of you. I miss the giggling and group hugs that come with family portrait sessions. I miss the waving as we all arrive on site – at the overlook, the property, the park, the orchard, campus or cabin retreat. I miss changing my lenses amid the casual chaos of family dynamics.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been plenty busy, but with the holidays over, and the temps around freezing most of the time, this girl just wants to hibernate. The wilderness bear in me takes over and I am inclined to cook, bake, read, create art projects, and sleep exclusively. As long as I can keep these boys I love nourished and healthy……… that’s winter for me.
At some point though, I peep over flannel sheets and think: I MISS EVERYBODY! So let’s talk about planning your photo sessions for this year and find each other again!
- Are there members of your clan who are graduating from high school or college this year?
- Is someone expecting a baby and perhaps would benefit from our one year baby packages or a maternity shoot – or both?
- Are you blessed enough to have multiple generations in your family and want to capture everyone before the young scatter and the older folks find it harder to get around?
- Is there a milestone birthday, anniversary or celebration planned for 2022 that you want to commemorate with a fun photo shoot. Believe me, we get it. There are daily distractions, but these moments matter. Consider planning a portrait session.
Kids! If you haven’t had portraits of your children with their siblings in a while, consider doing it this year. Any season, indoors or out, with or without bows and costume changes, we can make it happen.
Think about the year ahead and contact us to schedule or with your ideas. Let’s do this in 2022!
