brianna’s high school senior pics | north wilkes high school

Photographing high school seniors is so much fun especially when they are excited to have a portrait session that is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced and so different from those their classmates are having made. Pixels On Paper is focused on creating a fun and unique photography experience for all of our Senior Sessions. We are bringing an original style and quality  to Senior photos that Wilkes and some of the surrounding NC Mountain areas have never experienced or had access to in the past. Why should all these awesome and energetic young people settle for just another boring senior photo shot by a high school appointed photog in front of a dull backdrop? We don’t think they should which is why we’re offering an alternative. If you are or you have a rising High School Senior call us now to schedule a Senior Portrait Session. The ideal session time for the Class of 2013 begins in June. We are looking for reps from each of the surrounding high schools that are enthusiastic about sharing their experience with their classmates.

Brianna contacted us a short time ago eager to schedule her senior session even though she was only a few weeks from graduating. She wanted Senior Pics that would stand out from everyone else and since we had photographed her in January as one of our 2012 Prom Models she knew exactly what kind of photos we would deliver. Not only did she want unique portraits, she wanted us to use those photos to create a graduation announcement that she would be mailing to family and friends, an alternative to those offered by the High School.

For Brianna we designed a 5×7 Graduation Announcement Card. Here is a look at the front of the card.

And a look at the back of the Graduation Announcement card.

It’s hard to believe that Brianna is only a High School Senior when you see her. This girl is gorgeous in and out and aspires to be model and fashion designer. She is artistic, creative, beautiful, humble and a little shy when she is the center of attention. She is the class of 2012 and represents North Wilkes High School. We wish her all the best in everything she does.

Leave Brianna and us some LOVE on our blog. Our blog loves comments!

kayla’s senior photos | nc mountains portrait photographer

Recently, we had the privilege of capturing Kayla’s Senior photos. Next fall, she will head off to UNC-Wilmington for her first semester at college. She and her family drove up from east of Charlotte NC for a fun-filled day of senior pics and family portraits with Pixels On Paper in and around Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro in the NC mountains. We set out on what was close to a full day of traveling between locations that allowed us the freedom to get as creative as possible, all while making sure that we had time for fun and laughs. Kayla’s mom, Kim, and Ryan have long had a friendship that borders on the insane, with constant jokes and teasing, the day of the session was no exception. Even down to pranks via text messages the night before that had him totally confused. (and Kim would say “but that’s easy to do…”)

We chose locations that would capture Kayla’s personality and let her amazing spirit show. From urban to rustic to natural portrait backdrops Kayla rocked our portrait session from start to finish. At one location Kayla’s Dad, Sonny put on his Army uniform to be in some of the photos with her. You could see the pride in both their eyes as they stood next to one another.  We were even privileged to be asked to recreate a photo from one of his early returns from deployment when Kayla was just a child. The time we spent and the images we captured make it obvious to us that Kayla gets her compassion for others from her parents.

We have known the family for several years and share a strong passion for hockey, and love of all things Charlotte Checkers. We encourage our Seniors to bring props of their choosing so Kayla brought along one of her favorite Checkers jersey and a hockey stick that we put to good use in what would later resemble an igloo setting.

We are so grateful for the trust that the family put in us to capture Kayla’s personality. She is so kind and has a heart that cares so much for others, with a sarcastic wit that should make her mother proud. Her future is bright and we wish her all the success life has to offer.

Congratulations to the class of 2012 and to Kayla we wish you the absolute best at everything you do!

Our Blog loves comments so be sure to leave us some LOVE! To view more senior photos visit www.pixelsonpaper.biz and to schedule a session for  your own portrait photos call or email us.

 

pixels on paper photo booth partners with wilkes smart start program

On Saturday, March 17, Pixels On Paper participated in the Wilkes Smart Start Magic Show. Smart Start had several informational booths set up around the Stone Center for parents to pick up information on finding and paying for child care, starting a home child care facility, as well as nutrition information, and fun and games. The event wrapped up with a magic show for all the kids (both young and old.)

We were able to join in on the fun by setting up a small photo booth where the kids were able to put on magician hats, wave magic wands and make rabbits appear! It was truly a fun morning getting to be a part of such a wonderful program. We captured some fun moments of budding magicians.

Photos taken of the participants at the event are available for purchase on our site, click here to access the gallery. There is a $25 minimum order with proceeds benefiting Wilkes Smart Start. Thanks for letting us be a part of a great community event!

dustin + kristen { family portrait pictures} pixels on paper

It is very exciting for use when we have photographed a couples wedding and they return for all their future creative portrait photography needs. Just like these two! Kristen and Dustin are still technically newlyweds with less than a year of marriage behind them. They love photos and are determined to begin the tradition of annual family portrait pictures. Like I’ve been saying for years to other couples, you don’t have to have kids to have portrait pictures!  Kristen and Dustin’s family currently consists of the two of them and one super cute fur-baby named Tiger.

Enjoy the pictures of this super cute and sweet couple!

Take a peek back at Kristen and Dustin’s wedding photos here. And see more of our creative portrait photography on our website.

We’ve been photographing Frank at different times this year capturing model headshots for his modeling portfolio.  He is a great guy with big ambitions and talents ranging from fashion model to motor cross super star. The shocker… he is only 15! He is going to go far and we are looking forward to watching it happen.

In case you missed it, be sure to check out Frank’s portrait session earlier this year here.  And if you or someone you know has a gig for Frank let us know and we’ll put you in touch.
