Awww, Sweetness……..Baby Faces!
Gearing up for Valentine’s Day has me thinking about the unadulterated cuteness of the babies I’m honored to photograph. For maternity sessions, I am engaged in capturing the excitement and anticipation of the parents. After that, my time with newborns and babies is an embarrassment of riches. Their big eyes looking for friendly faces, if not meaning yet, their crazy cute features from lashes to teeny toes, the expressions they make, the outfits and settings mothers and I concoct, …. it’s all heaven. So here’s to baby faces I love.
If you are expecting or know someone who is, we hope you will contact us or encourage them to. Maternity, newborn, 6 month, one year portraits are my jam, as a photographer and a mom. I would love to meet and work with you to capture those memories and milestones.
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.

Walker’s Six Months portrait photos
Walker Tibbett has stolen my heart. There — I’ve said it on the record. And let members of the unofficial jury know that I make ZERO APOLOGIES. He’s delicious. Prior to his portrait session, I worked with his parents, Brooke and Joey, on the set in our studio, discussing color palette and textures for his 6 month portrait session. I want to say that we nailed it with some beautifully grained wood backdrops, some cute suspenders, a couple of hats and that FACE!
This kid……… his laugh, his smile, …….honestly, I would still be photographing him at this moment were it not for the fact that he had to go home with his parents, and I have my own son and husband to care for. But gracious, he is cute.
Before there was a delightful little Walker (with a whole 180 days +/- under his belt), we photographed his equally wonderful parents – pre child. Their engagement portraits shot in Blowing Rock, with their sweet dog Cisco, are some of my favorites. Pixels also shot their wedding at the Gambill Estate, and of course, once pregnant with Walker, we were on a roll: maternity portraits with Brooke in the orchards, and newborn portraits (I could already tell, this kid is a heart thief!!). We LOVE watching families grow and discover the next chapter on this crazy journey.
How do you make Christmas magic? Add a Santa hat. Seriously. Everything should be so easy.
Merry Christmas, Tibbetts! We adore you guys and cannot wait to see you again soon.

Baby’s First Year Photography Packages
We recently reminded you fine people out there about our Referral Program, and Pixels clients should take advantage of it! But now is also a great time to remind those of you who are thinking about starting a family, newly engaged or just married. We have a package created just for you that nearly all of our maternity or new parents avail themselves of: the One Year Baby Package. I chose a beloved family for whom we captured maternity, newborn, 6 month and finally the first birthday of their adorable daughter.
Our package covers newborn portraits, a 6-month portrait session and then a One Year Birthday session. Maternity portraits can be added if you desire. Even if Pixels did not photograph your engagement shots, your wedding or any other portraits, you can still take advantage of this package. Parents tell us over and over again how grateful they are that they made this a priority. These images make not only great memories and heirlooms, but baby and family portraits are perfect gifts for grandparents or relatives. Often clients create canvases for their children’s bedrooms or for the family wall of images. Ryan and I will even create and install these.
I’m sharing two blogs with more details about why I’m passionate about covering a baby’s first year, and even more details about what each session captures. Give me a call and let’s start planning.

Bennett family and six month old Angelina
This day felt like a family reunion and I’m so grateful for it. We’ve all had a year of struggles and regrouping with familiar faces and old stories felt so good. Ryan has a history with this wonderful family. He and baby Angelina’s grandma Ann Russo became pals while working together a couple of decades ago. Long after they became friends, Anne’s daughter Jessica was getting married and they thought of Pixels to photograph their wedding. We’ve been friends since. On this day, we took Angelina’s six month portraits with parents Jessica and Bobby and grandparents Ann and Rich Russo at the peach orchards which were gorgeously in bloom.
Angelina was born while we were all in the teeth of the pandemic and mom Jessica worried that she wouldn’t know how to socialize, but this angel has a TON of personality. She’s not shy at all. It was so fun seeing parents and grandparents mixing it up with her. It was such a beautiful day in a warm setting with people we love.
Obviously, with all of this history, this wasn’t the first time we’d photographed these guys. Check out Jessica’s maternity portraits and Angelina’s newborn portraits.

The Driver Family and 6 month old Astrid
Somehow, six months blew by and suddenly there we were, right back where we photographed Mom and Dad (Macy and Jesse) for their maternity session. This time, they had their daughter Astrid, a freshly minted six month old, in tow and looking adorable.
It was a REALLY COLD and windy the morning we gathered, but the views on top of the mountain were incredible and the blooms on the apple trees lent themselves to the day. Astrid is the sweetest little thing and while she didn’t appreciate the temperature, much less the views, she perked up when she could be snuggled between her adoring parents.
Often, after children enter the picture, parents will shy away from having images taken of just them as a couple. We loved that Macy and Jesse wanted some of these portraits and we encourage other parents to remember this. Before there were little versions of you, there was just you. That should be celebrated too!
It was a beautiful day with a beautiful young family in a pretty spectacular spot. I would say that is satisfying all around. We love it when families find a location that they love and return to it to mark special occasions, milestones or just because images.
