All hail Spring!
Believe me I know that sounds sarcastic – and it might be just a little. We set our clocks forward over the weekend, Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday were just celebrated and very recently “the Spring temps” were as low as 16 degrees for a string of nights. I’m ready for spring. How about you guys?

For Ryan and me, spring means being outside for all kinds of outdoor portrait sessions. It’s an all-inclusive season, if you know what I mean. There is just one reason to have portraits taken this season, there are dozens. Here are just a sampling:

Outdoor “just because”

Bridal portraits al fresco

Spring just draws us out when it arrives and we have so many beautiful places to shoot images of children, families, engaged couples, brides and prom-goers.

Prom

Engagement

Families

Open your windows, sweep off the deck (YES, you may need to be wearing a windbreaker…. just do it!), prepare to store the boots and pull out flip flops (or my favorite Chacos), shelve the flannel sheets for soft cotton, and get ready for spring. And while you’re doing that, consider who in your life would love an outdoor portrait of you? Who would you love to have a spring or summer photo session with and give them a call. What event is coming up that could be made better with a portrait?
A couple of hints:
– Easter (April 21)
– Proms
– Senior Year/Graduation – elementary, high school, college – (May)
– Mother’s Day (May 12)
– Father’s Day (June 16)
– Family reunions
These types of portraits never disappoint.

I’ll save the milestones of baby firsts and wedding outdoors for next time!

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, engagements and weddings, brides, and 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.
