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!
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 newborns and families, 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.

Fall Portraits – Seniors & Family
The new school year means a new crop of seniors and a chance to mark time. We love this season of the year for the change in weather, the fresh start it represents, and the fact that it gives us a chance to capture images of seniors and families.
We recently posted some favorite senior portraits in our last blog and reviewing these reminded us of so many other siblings, families and mere kids we’ve watched move from childhood to young adulthood. It’s a specific period in one’s life and parents always tell us how grateful they are to have professional portraits of their “babies” … just about to embark on the next chapter.

Setting up a family portrait can feel more work to plan, often because we are all spread out. That said, families find it easier once they simply start a conversation, corral those family members who are hardest to pin down, and set a date. Honestly, it’s a breeze once you decide that it’s important.
The leaves will be turning soon so let’s start scheduling!

Senior Portraits
We know you’re still tending sun burn, tired muscles from outdoor play, and getting sand out of …….. places, if you took a last summer trip over the holiday weekend. Welcome home and time to plan for those of you with high school seniors. It’s time for portraits! If you have a student, student-athlete, an artistic adult in the making, or just a senior with a new fall wardrobe they want to show off, we’re ready to capture a pretty important milestone.
We are scheduling fall senior portraits now. Contact us and let’s begin scouting locations, choosing a theme or style if you have one and making a plan.

Austin’s Senior Photos
Ryan was on point for this senior portrait session with Austin and the proof is in the visible smiles. Ryan makes the guys we capture (think graduations, engagements, … posing!) feel at ease for portrait sessions and once we get them outside, and around people they love, the rest is pretty easy. This was the case with Austin.
Austin wanted to wait for his Army sash to arrive because he wanted to display it proudly, but after it came, Ryan met up with Austin, his girlfriend and his mother at North Wilkes High School to wander and shoot pics. They chatted, loosened up and laughed while Ryan found moments to capture moments.
Ryan shared that Austin would smile when asked, but lit up completely when his girlfriend joined him in front of the camera. Naturally! He clearly adores her, as he does his mom and we are so glad that we have images of them all to mark this time.
Austin will be moving into his new life in the Army in the weeks to come and is excited about the next chapter of his life. We are wishing you all the best, dude! We are all in such a hurry to finish one thing and move on to another. It’s good to take a breath to be in the moment and celebrate.

Allena’s outdoor high school senior photos
Allena is a new high school graduate and our recent rambling photo shoot was such a treat. This girl is cool, artistic, fun, and creative, and she’s the daughter of a dear friend of mine. Home-schooled and smart, bohemian and earthy, I loved being around her energy.
Allena was extremely close to her maternal grandfather, and while he’s passed away, he lives on in her memories, their shared interests and time together exploring, and her total adoration of him. The hat she’s wearing belonged to him and is a nod to their time together. She loves to be outdoors and so we chose to wander, chatter and explore while capturing images. No studio portraits for her!
The pick up truck was passed to her from this same granddad. Allena restored it and is incredibly proud of it so of course, we incorporated it. Check out the name plate on the front. The truck is named Jolene (thanks, Dolly) and was a song that Allena and her grandfather would sing when driving around together in that truck. Their bond is just another reason we love this independent, spirited young woman. Her old soul shines through everything she does.
By the end of the shoot, we had officially chased the sun, and ended our time at an old home place where the flowers were in bloom and Allena could don her cap and gown. Unlike her sister Macy who wanted a big party when she graduated, Allena wanted to celebrate with family and keep it simple, so her dad loaded up with photos from this shoot. Pixels created a custom photo album as well as prints for them to frame or give. We also created her graduation announcement cards. Allena: We wish you only the best in the years ahead!
