This ridiculously gorgeous family found us through a friend referral and we feel beyond blessed to be seeing them again. We captured the mom’s maternity portraits and it wasn’t long before the welcomed their second child – a precious little girl.

Marion was born on her exact due date: December 3, 2018 and, as a lover of old-fashioned names, I’m a fan of hers already. I love how it evokes another time, the tradition of family names and makes me think of timeless beauty. This little rosebud is named after one of her grandmothers.

Big brother Conner has had his world turned upside down, but was gentle and so cute with his new sister. The shots of him with her are some of my faves. Between the Christmas pajamas and his animated body language, he very nearly upstaged the new kid in town.

Adorned in pink, neutrals and lace, her hands to her face and eyes to the camera, Marion reminded me of a cherub.

This grouping of shots just kills me. Brother and sister play – right out of the gate. We asked mom and dad which brand of Cute Pills they were buying at the local pharmacy to get This Level of Cute (that has to be the tagline… you know? “Your babies can be THIS LEVEL OF CUTE! with just two pills per day!”).

Congrats to this sweet family on the new light in their lives.

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.
