Outdoor Play in photos

This is officially an invitation to come out and play.

We’re booking socially responsible (read: socially distanced/no contact) summer portraits out of doors. North Carolina is gorgeous this time of year. It’s actually gorgeous all year, but families are getting out to play in local parks, on the Blue Ridge Parkway, at vacation rentals, on the water and in the woods. You should let us photograph some of those memories.

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.

Summertime Blues?

Do you have them? It may easily be the strangest summer (year?) of any of our lives, but we are going to get through it if we’re reasonable, follow common sense, take care of ourselves, check in on our neighbors and we will see the other side.

But if you’re missing something, I thought some cute images of babies and kiddos outdoors might cheer you up.

Yep. Brothers at an airplane hangar to celebrate the youngest’s first birthday. It was an epic themed shoot.

We are booking summer portraits of kids and families (and friends) this summer and we have a portrait garden set up and will be following all the appropriate social distancing and other protocols. There are plenty of parks, the parkway, private grounds and outdoor event centers perfect for portraits. Don’t miss a year just because we’re in a strange newer normal.

We have the cure for the summertime blues: get outside and make some milestones.

Outdoor & Day in the Life Portraits

We love outdoor photo sessions during the warm months and summer provides plenty of opportunities for these. Yes! We can and will socially distance for the session, but that is not a hindrance when you decide you’d like some day in the life documentary photographs or portraits. Below are some favorite shots from summertime in the outdoors with some documentary sessions thrown in for good measure.

Let’s Celebrate Summer with Photos

For us, summer is about more outdoor time, playing in water, eating from the garden, camping and capturing images of our fabulous clients in their own little slices of heaven. July is here and while we’re in quarantine, of sorts, the yard and the fireflies and the sprinklers and picnics are calling.

We’re Still Celebrating…

… even during scary times. There are still birthdays and graduations and friendships in need of highlighting. We need to celebrate even in the era of a global pandemic. We value our health and we value our customers, so when we were able to safely photograph this momentous occasion, we grabbed the opportunity.

Big R Orchards, a popular wedding and event venue in Moravian Falls, NC was the spot and everyone who came that day had such great energy. This happens when you get people who love each other together and when folks have been pinned up for months.

Most proms were cancelled this year, but dresses were purchased and friends wanted to get dressed up and made up and see one another.

I mean, seriously, are those above not the most dapper and darling individuals you’ve seen lately? They can still look back on this crazy year and have a glamorous memento or two.

We also celebrated birthdays and family time with members all dolled up and happy to be outdoors and with each other.
