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.
As we settle in and prepare for the 4th of July weekend – however that may look – we wish all of our clients and families and safe holiday weekend. We love and miss you guys!
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.

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.

Newborn & Baby Portraits | We’re Still Taking Them
We love taking photos of kids, babies and especially newborns, but due to the pandemic, we’ve been making adjustments. One of them is NOT to stop taking photos of kids. We’re keen to mark the big milestones of childhood, including newborns, 1st birthday cake smashes, and new siblings added to existing kiddos.
The difference is that for now – with great weather and restrictions that make us concerned and more responsible than ever – we’re taking advantage of our outdoor portrait garden. If you are interested in family portraits, whether they are of children or of your entire clan, we have the spot and we can meet you at a park, on the parkway or another outdoor venue. Below are some favorites.
Do you have an idea for an outdoor portrait session with your children or a milestone to celebrate? Contact us.

Newborn Portraits of Baby Aryan
This teeny creature – Aryan – is new to Planet Earth and I was honored to take her very first portraits. While we need to keep the details about her private, she’s just such a knockout and I loved being able to have her visit our outdoor portrait garden where she was dolled up and ready for her close-ups.
I think you guys know that I love props when they are appropriate and fun, and with newborn and baby portrait sessions, props are particularly on time. I incorporated soft fabrics and soft colors for Aryan which contrasted with the green grass near our garden. The weather was perfect when she came to visit us, too and that gave us room to set up, work and capture this little gem.
Ribbons in spring colors, soft blankets, flower headbands and baskets made perfect places for Little Miss to rest. She slept and was so easy to handle, I loved every moment with her.
I love creating outdoor portraits of newborns. It seems counter-intuitive to take someone so tiny outside, but they are not only resilient little angels, they are so pure, so natural and tender – if Mother Nature does her part then the images can be magic.
We are following all Phase II Covid-19 protocols, but this does not mean that we aren’t able to capture important milestones outside, especially while the weather has been so amazing. Prepare to see even more outdoor portraiture from us in the weeks to come. If you have questions or ideas for an outdoor portrait session, please contact us.

Best of Father’s Day – Part 2
Part 2 of 2 in our Best of Father’s Day blogs continues with a look at images we adore of dads and their kids and families. There’s just something about the scale of fathers and their children. I love it.
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.” – Sigmund Freud
“Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it.” – Mike Myers

“Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice.” – Charles Kettering
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.” –George Herbert
“Some dads liken the impending birth of a child to the beginning of a great journey.” –Marcus Jacob Goldman
Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads out there. We love and appreciate all that you do, the big and the small, the tender and mighty, and how much we translate that into love for us.
