son’s nautical 1st birthday portraits + all boy and all flirt
dreams of flight ….
For his first birthday, the theme was nautical. Blues and oranges, whales and anchors. And that little jumper with the anchor on it? Good Lord. It’s a classic. Mothers everywhere would swoon over such a throwback.
Holden is a big flirt. According to his Mom, he turns on the charm in front of ladies and knows how to draw in a crowd at church. People love to spoil him rotten. He was a smiling new baby, just days old in front of our lens (see photo above), a grinning 6 month old and he continues to up the ante at 1. It’s always been easy to get a grin out of him. So, child photographer’s dream?? Definitely.
Like most boys, Holden enjoyed smashing his cake more than tasting it. He was messy and mobile, cracking up and clambering around every set up.
Here’s to many, many more, Little Man!
Newborn Photography {FAQs} | Pixels On Paper Wikesboro NC Family Portrait Photographer
Having a professional portrait studio space to photograph newborns has given us the ability to create a safe, warm, inviting and relaxed environment for both parents and babies. Sanitation, preparation and efficiency during a newborn portrait session are top priorities for us. We want to take this opportunity to answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
When should I contact you to book my newborn session?
We HIGHLY recommend you contact us during your pregnancy to start the booking process. We want to add you to our schedule as soon as possible and keep tabs on you throughout your maternity. Although we make every effort to fit in last-minute newborn session requests, our schedule fills up quickly and it may not be possible to do so. Once you are on our calendar, you are given priority after your baby arrives and we will be sure to schedule your session within 10 days after you leave the hospital.
Why does my baby need to be so young for a newborn session?
The ideal time for a newborn session is generally when a baby is between 5-10 days old. They are still very sleepy and are still comfortable being curled up similar to how they were positioned in the womb so their legs tuck up underneath them very comfortably. We can pose them in all those sweet poses quicker and more easily while they sleep. Every passing day after birth brings more awake time and less tolerance to the posing.
Where will the session take place?
All newborn sessions take place in the Pixels On Paper portrait photography studio located at 1198 Johnson Lane, Wilkesboro NC. In studio means we can devote more time to the session because we don’t have to pack up all of our equipment, props, lighting and supplies each time we have a session. We can guarantee our light and environment is perfect and exactly what you have come to expect in our photos rather than trying to search for the right location and light in your home.
How long will the session take?
The session can last anywhere from 2 – 4 hours depending on how often your baby needs to be fed and how well your baby sleeps through the posing and accessory changes; every baby is different and some babies may need more soothing and slower transitions than others. Taking our time and perfecting every shot is more important than rushing a session.
We offer full year baby photography packages and maternity photography. Learn more about us at www.pixelsonpaper.net and contact us for booking information.
megan & luke | maternity photography | wilkesboro nc family photographers | pixels on paper specializing in creative newborn, baby, maternity and family photography
Megan and Luke are one of the sweetest most down-to-earth, hardest working couples that you’ll ever meet. You can’t help but laugh and enjoy spending time with them. They’ve been married for four years and are now expecting their first child, a little boy, in early October. Why do I mention the hard working part you might wonder? Because they’re farmers. Not just gardening small time type of farmers, but real, true, salt-of-the-earth, 16 hour days, year around, acre upon acre, generation after generation, full-time farmers. And the family farm, well it’s mind-blowing gorgeous. If you’ve ever seen mid-west US farms, imagine one of those surrounded by beautiful mountains in the heart of the NC Yadkin Valley. Their baby boy is going to grow up in the most beautiful of surroundings with a lifestyle that can’t be beat. We’re already taking bets on how young he will be when he learns to drive a tractor or combine.
Not only was the farm the perfect setting for their maternity portrait photography, but we’re already visualizing future family portrait photography in our heads. We’re hoping to recreate some of these photos with the addition of a little one as their family grows. These moments and memories are priceless. We are blessed beyond measure to be able to photograph them. Thank you Luke & Megan!
We hope our readers and fans will enjoy this little glimpse into their world as much as we did.

amber + wesley {married} at camp sky ranch | outdoor country wedding
After a couple years of planning all of Amber and Wesley’s time and energy came together on one spectacular fall wedding day in the Blue Ridge Mountains at Camp Sky Ranch. The venue itself provided an amazing backdrop and is one of Blowing Rock’s hidden jewels. If you haven’t heard about it you want to read the history here and learn what Jack and his wife Lori have brought to life.
Like many of the weddings we photograph this event was a family affair. Everyone worked together for days to decorate, coordinate, and celebrate the union. Family members baked and decorated the cake and cooked all the homemade southern foods for the reception. Bouquets, floral arrangements and candle decorations inspired by the Autumn surroundings were designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions.
Let us know what you think of Amber and Wesley’s outdoor wedding pictures. Our blog loves comments!
We are so thankful to have been a part of Amber and Wesley’s special day. They put their trust in our creative photography to capture their day. We could not be any happier with what we were able to capture. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Douglas!
In case you missed them, be sure to take a look at Amber’s gorgeous bridal photos!

heather + jason | engagement photos | pixels on paper | creative photography
Heather and Jason are super casual and relaxed. They live in Asheville and both absolutely love to be outdoors spending a lot of their free time fishing in the mountains or working in their garden. Heather changed her mind only a matter of weeks before their wedding date and decided to have engagement pictures taken with us so that they would be more comfortable in front of our cameras on the day of the wedding. This is absolutely one of the best reasons to have engagement photos. Not only does it give us all a chance to get to know each other but its good practice and a lot of fun. If you’re the least be anxious about having your photo taken a portrait session will help relieve those worries and fears. We also always recommend that its a setting where you could normally be found so that years down the road your not looking at a photo in an insignificant place or activity.
We’re looking forward to being in Asheville at the end of August to photograph Heather and Jason’s outdoor wedding pictures at Claxton Farm.
