Megan’s “just because” portrait session | NoDa Charlotte
Megan had an incredible year of change in 2012, and she knew just how to celebrate it in a stunning way. She had purchased a portrait package from us last Spring during our Shop Small Saturday Promotion to use at a later date, and decided that it was time to cash it in. She deserved it and used it to reward herself for all that she had been through.
We chose a date, and Megan chose the location – NoDa, Charlotte’s arts district with very colorful walls and interesting backgrounds. But she did something else that was such a great idea. She brought Ellis, a great friend to share in her celebration during what we like to call a “just because” session. “Just because” sessions are for those that want portraits just because they can and for no other reason or purpose.
We had such a fun time walking around NoDa, picking locations and just stopping where it felt right, but we also laughed the entire time. It was so easy to let friends pick on each other, tell jokes and funny stories, and just capture what true friendship is. And they rocked it from start to finish!
Just as we were wrapping up and walking back to the cars, a train happened to come between us and the cars. So of course, to pass some time and take advantage of the moment, we had to take more photos and ended up making more magic. Even after the gates lifted and cars started going across the tracks, a few honked and yelled out how much they enjoyed getting to watch Megan try not to fall off Ellis’s shoulders!
We would love to do more “just because” sessions, so if you or anyone you know wants to go out for a few hours and let us capture your memories, contact us today! See more photos on our website at www.pixelsonpaper.biz and call us at 704-641-1131 or in the NC Mountains at 336-990-0080.

ostendarp family portraits | then and now family photography
Pixels On Paper had the honor of photographing the entire Ostendarp family, three generations and four families within the family, in Charlotte, NC six years ago. From the moment we captured a particular image of the grandkids walking and running across the bridge at Freedom Park and circling around our lens, we knew that one day we would HAVE to recreate these moments. Well, recently we had the chance to do just that.
Lois Ostendarp and her husband Ken have 3 children and 7 grandchildren. When Lois asked us to capture the extended family in August 2006, we were thrilled and dove in head first. When they saw the photos, everyone commented on how neat it would be to photograph the youngest generation again years later to see how all of the grandkids had changed.
Six years later, what Lois did not know was that her children had not forgotten that wish either, and when it was time to celebrate a milestone birthday for Lois, her daughter-in-law Courtney reached out on the family’s behalf and put into motion the surprise gift of a lifetime that involved Pixels On Paper family photography. It took a few tries to get the schedules coordinated between all of the 7 grandkids’ sports, camps and other activities, but we nailed down the time and everything was set.

What came out of the family portrait session was nothing short of amazing. We brought the original images and recreated 3 different photographs. When we compared the pictures, it was crazy to see just how much each grandchild had grown and changed. The youngest generation still remembered that moment from six years ago, the fun they had and the memories that were captured with their cousins. Even now while some have become teenagers they were just as eager to capture another moment that would bring pure joy to their Grandmother.

The family was able to present Lois with the new photos at her birthday celebration. We would have loved to have been there to see the look on her face, but prior engagements kept us away. What was incredible was the message we received from Lois a few days after:
“Misty & Ryan ~
Just wanted to drop you a note to say a great big thank you for being so flexible in helping the kids to put together a 5-6 year later retake of that wonderful photo coming across the bridge at Freedom Park. Misty, you always said you wanted to take that shot again in 5 years! What a wonderful surprise, and it was probably the best birthday gift I have ever received. AND they are resolved to do it one more time when the kids will range from 16-21 years old. Yikes! Anyway, it is beautiful and so is the second photo take ‘from the ground up’ of all of them. What a treat and what a thrill for me.”
