all about prom 2013 fashion photo shoot

We had the opportunity again this year to participate with six other special event vendors in Wilkesboro and be the sole provider of photography for the 2nd annual All About Prom event. For two weeks in December representatives from each of five Wilkes County high schools competed on Facebook to be selected as the Prom Model to represent their school. Winners were given a full day of glamour, pampering and the high fashion model experience in exchange for representing all that the event sponsors have to offer in the latest prom fashions and services.Each girl was fitted with two complete glamorous wardrobes by Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom attire that included dress, shoes, and jewelry accessories.  Intricate matching nail design using everything from crystals to glitter were created by Valery Guevara of Blossom Salon & Butterfly Boutique. Dominique Nunn also of Blossom Salon transformed each girl with glamour makeup, sometimes incorporating feathers and sequins, that was uniquely created to coordinate with the formal dresses they would be wearing. Andrea Hunt of Cut Ups Salon styled each model’s  hair using fashion forward techniques that were ahead of the trends. The finishing touch added to each model as she entered our studio portrait sets were unique floral accessories designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions. Denise took the old tradition of corsage and boutonnieres to a whole new level. What’s a fashion photo shoot without a professional videographer on set? Shaun Cardwell of Divine Treasures Videography captured moving images and created a stunning short film of the day.Three completely custom photo backdrops were designed at the Pixels On Paper portrait studio. Ryan and Misty both took turns all day  photographing each model and making each one truly experience the Pixels On Paper difference both on set and later when seeing their final photos. Pixels offers unique and creative portrait photography. Forget about those horribly traditional photos made during prom where they make you say cheese and place you in a stiff traditional pose. Pixels will make sure you have a blast getting great photos that make you feel and look like a Rock Star or High Fashion Model.

pixels on paper’s amazing clients | 2012 review in photos

We are so very delayed in completing a blog post that recaps the photos of our client’s and friends from 2012. You can’t possibly understand how difficult it is to look back through every photo session from last year and pick favorites. It’s February but it’s also better late than never! 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. 2012 brought engagement pics, wedding pictures, senior portraits, family portraits, newborn photography, photos of children, pet pics, and commercial photography. We even added studio portraits for the first time in the history of Pixels On Paper! We are inpatient when it comes to figuring out what 2013 will bring and excited about the photographs we will capture.

The following are our personal favorite images from each of those we photographed in 2012. Enjoy the view!

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.
