Sibling Love – Part 2
We’re celebrating siblings again and remembering what it was like to be young, to have enough energy to fight and make up, and reviewing some of our favorite images of kids with their brothers and sisters who were brave enough to jump in front of our cameras.
“A sibling may be the sole keeper of one’s core identity, the one person with the keys to one’s unfettered, more fundamental self.” – Marian Sandmaier
“Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk.” – Susan Scarf Merrell
Siblings often become good friends, and because they know each other so well, they can provide each other a deep sense of comfort. Laura Markham
“I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.” ― Maya Angelou
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.

Harrison & Scott Families Christmas Portraits
The Harrison family – Jamie, Daniel, Henry and Hannah – have been in our lives since 2014. We photographed their wedding in 2015 and watched as their family grew. To say that we adored having them in our studio is an understatement. They were such fun and so easy to be around. It’s amazing to see their kids when I look back at images of them as newlyweds. One minute, you’re capturing a veiled bridal portrait and the next, you’re snuggling their children onto our holiday bench.
In 2017, we captured Hannah’s very first professional portraits. She has only gotten more yummy and cute.
The Scott’s are long time pals of ours too. Parents Julie and Jamie and kids Cameron and Courtney have been in front of our lens several times. I grew up with Julie and her sister Jenny was my best friend in childhood. I’ve known them for such a long time. It fun in between shots to crack up and catch up with their lives.
Now that the kids are growing up, we love seeing them all together for their holiday portraits. Before long, Cameron and Courtney will be off living lives of their own.

Penelope & Flynn’s Christmas Portraits
This Christmas season, we’ve seen a steady stream of revelers in colorful clothing darken our doors and insist on having their portraits taken. We sigh, roll our eyes and then do that thing where we wave ’em in and accommodate their requests. It’s fine. Whatever….
Honestly, the 2019 studio Christmas portrait season has been the blast that it always is, and today we’re showcasing two little elves who escaped their spots on shelves and slid in with the wind before we shut our doors.
Meet little Penelope and Flynn. They are not related, except by the bonds of cuteness.
Both Flynn and Penelope changed the wattage in our studio and brought a surplus of high (read: HIGH!) energy to the mix. But they were both a little camera shy for Ryan. This is another big advantage of having two photographers available at Pixels: when the energy calls for a change, we can make it. When a child or children respond better to one gender over another – no problem. Neither Ryan nor I takes it personally. We’re pros and we’re parents. We get it. I took over and with a little persuading, dancing, and singing, we found our groove.
Merry Christmas, Little Elves out there! Stay Nice! You-Know-Who is watching!

Schedule Your Christmas Portraits 2019
Season’s Greetings! <ducking>
I know some of you are decidedly not ready to go into holiday mode, so consider this just a gentle nudge. At Pixels, I am in the process of decorating our portrait studio for the 2019 Christmas season. It’s going to be gorgeous, if I say so myself, and when I’m a little closer to completion, I’ll start sharing the color palette and some details.
Your task, should you choose to undertake this adventure, dear reader – AND YOU SHOULD – is to get out your calendar. It is time to schedule your portrait session and time to order cards and gifts.
For $125, we will provide 5 digital images for families with up to 3 children. This includes the printing rights along with the option to purchase prints, cards, and gifts. Pets and additional children or family members are welcome for an additional $25.
Our fee is due when you make your reservation. Once again, I saw no need to raise the price. We want you all to make this an easy and affordable priority this year. These portraits last a lifetime, you know.
For those of you who want a more documentary feel for your holiday portraits, we recommend a family in-home session. These have become really popular over the last 4 years and we love doing them too. Parents want to capture what it looks like “doing the holidays” with their kids and family members and this doesn’t mean you have to have your entire house redecorated or even that pulled together. I PROMISE. We just want you to be present, focused on the holiday and enjoying yourself.
Whether your tree is decorated yet or not, whether you’ve figured out an activity yet or not, whether you even know yet how you’re going to celebrate: don’t worry. Just give it some thought. At home photos are special.
Be thinking about your holiday plans and then, after you’ve finished with Halloween, give us a call and let’s get you scheduled! Weekend slots fill up quickly.
The Pixels’ studio is located at 1198 Curtis Bridge Rd. Wilkesboro NC 28697.
Call 336-990-0080 to reserve or email inquiries to mail@pixelsonpaper.net.

Christmas Portraits
Our studio this 2017 holiday season was a revolving door of friends, collaborators, families, children, pets and we loved it. And we took photos of them too <smirk, laugh>. Seeing the faces of some of our nearest and dearest family/friends, checking out how the children have grown and hearing about school, sports, jobs, holiday plans, what’s new for 2018 was wonderful. This time of year, a plus to photographing not only new faces, but long standing clients and pals is that we really get that time to give hugs, recalibrate, and share that sense of renewal and hope. Here are some of the faces we love!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Love, Peace and Joy to all of you!
