mickey’s charlotte bridal portraits | pixels on paper | charlotte nc wedding photographers
We had the complete pleasure of photographing Mickey’s bridal portraits at a private home just outside of Charlotte NC alongside our friend Greg Forwerck and videographer Bryon Bench. Mickey is a very talented artist that is gorgeous inside and out. Her dress was to die for and her bohemian style was easy to photograph. You’ll be seeing a lot more pics both here on our blog when we post her and Ben’s Asheville NC wedding, in our current ad campaign, and in the current Jan/March 2014 issue of Carolina Bride Magazine which features their Claxton Farm wedding day. Keep a look out!

If you read the story in the previous blog post about Megan and Jeff’s engagement session then you already know how excited we were to photograph their Charlotte NC wedding at the Mint Museum. (If you missed that blog post read it here.) They were fun, precious, and oh so in love. The sweetest sentiment, XOXO defines them and they’ve got tons of text messages to each other that prove it. Try to spot all of those simple but meaningful little letters of the alphabet throughout the detail wedding photos. Thank you Megan and Jeff for letting us photograph a special day in your love story.

the announcement of baby Huffman {maternity photography | nc mountain photographers}
It’s amazing to get to document through photos the important moments of so many people’s lives. Photographing the announcement of a baby is so very special, especially for a couple that like many others have had difficulty. Since getting that first phone call from Nikki I knew this would be something special. Our pre portrait session consult was filled with hope, thankfulness of the blessing she has received and a few lumps in my throat as she explained her and her husband’s journey to have a child. Nikki and Chris fully realize and appreciate the importance of portraits to capture these moments that document the journey. She mentioned to me that because she doesn’t know when or if they will have another child she doesn’t want any regrets or missed opportunities. She seriously even appreciates the experience of morning sickness!
Nikki is a beautiful mama. I love her smile and her outlook on life. Her creativity and eagerness to spread the love combined with the tenderness and affection that Chris shows as he cares for her is going to make the next 9 months of photos an absolute thrill. Not to mention their adorable fur-baby Diamond, a precious English Bulldog who makes her Pixels portrait debut helping to announce baby Huffman. Because of our complete Baby Package, Pixels On Paper is going to be their photographer all along the way including baby announcement photos, maternity photography, newborn portraits, six months and first year portraits.
We’ve compiled photos from their Baby Is Coming photography session to create this short video. Hope you enjoy it!
Below are the precious 5×5 tri-fold custom baby announcements we designed and printed for Nikki and Chris to mail.
All of these photographs were captured at our portrait studio in the NC High Country in Wilkesboro, NC at 1198 Curtis Bridge Road.

Megan’s “just because” portrait session | NoDa Charlotte
Megan had an incredible year of change in 2012, and she knew just how to celebrate it in a stunning way. She had purchased a portrait package from us last Spring during our Shop Small Saturday Promotion to use at a later date, and decided that it was time to cash it in. She deserved it and used it to reward herself for all that she had been through.
We chose a date, and Megan chose the location – NoDa, Charlotte’s arts district with very colorful walls and interesting backgrounds. But she did something else that was such a great idea. She brought Ellis, a great friend to share in her celebration during what we like to call a “just because” session. “Just because” sessions are for those that want portraits just because they can and for no other reason or purpose.
We had such a fun time walking around NoDa, picking locations and just stopping where it felt right, but we also laughed the entire time. It was so easy to let friends pick on each other, tell jokes and funny stories, and just capture what true friendship is. And they rocked it from start to finish!
Just as we were wrapping up and walking back to the cars, a train happened to come between us and the cars. So of course, to pass some time and take advantage of the moment, we had to take more photos and ended up making more magic. Even after the gates lifted and cars started going across the tracks, a few honked and yelled out how much they enjoyed getting to watch Megan try not to fall off Ellis’s shoulders!
We would love to do more “just because” sessions, so if you or anyone you know wants to go out for a few hours and let us capture your memories, contact us today! See more photos on our website at www.pixelsonpaper.biz and call us at 704-641-1131 or in the NC Mountains at 336-990-0080.

ostendarp family portraits | then and now family photography
Pixels On Paper had the honor of photographing the entire Ostendarp family, three generations and four families within the family, in Charlotte, NC six years ago. From the moment we captured a particular image of the grandkids walking and running across the bridge at Freedom Park and circling around our lens, we knew that one day we would HAVE to recreate these moments. Well, recently we had the chance to do just that.
Lois Ostendarp and her husband Ken have 3 children and 7 grandchildren. When Lois asked us to capture the extended family in August 2006, we were thrilled and dove in head first. When they saw the photos, everyone commented on how neat it would be to photograph the youngest generation again years later to see how all of the grandkids had changed.
Six years later, what Lois did not know was that her children had not forgotten that wish either, and when it was time to celebrate a milestone birthday for Lois, her daughter-in-law Courtney reached out on the family’s behalf and put into motion the surprise gift of a lifetime that involved Pixels On Paper family photography. It took a few tries to get the schedules coordinated between all of the 7 grandkids’ sports, camps and other activities, but we nailed down the time and everything was set.

What came out of the family portrait session was nothing short of amazing. We brought the original images and recreated 3 different photographs. When we compared the pictures, it was crazy to see just how much each grandchild had grown and changed. The youngest generation still remembered that moment from six years ago, the fun they had and the memories that were captured with their cousins. Even now while some have become teenagers they were just as eager to capture another moment that would bring pure joy to their Grandmother.

The family was able to present Lois with the new photos at her birthday celebration. We would have loved to have been there to see the look on her face, but prior engagements kept us away. What was incredible was the message we received from Lois a few days after:
“Misty & Ryan ~
Just wanted to drop you a note to say a great big thank you for being so flexible in helping the kids to put together a 5-6 year later retake of that wonderful photo coming across the bridge at Freedom Park. Misty, you always said you wanted to take that shot again in 5 years! What a wonderful surprise, and it was probably the best birthday gift I have ever received. AND they are resolved to do it one more time when the kids will range from 16-21 years old. Yikes! Anyway, it is beautiful and so is the second photo take ‘from the ground up’ of all of them. What a treat and what a thrill for me.”
