If you follow this blog, then you’ll find that most times our clients become great friends, and Jessica is one of those clients and friends. I adore her, and we have been photographing her son Gavin since his arrival. Now this little man is 5 YEARS OLD! Here’s a peek at his fourth birthday session, where you can also link to previous portrait sessions.

For the big number five, we decided to meet at a park in downtown Charlotte, NC. Putting this kiddo in a room with props is a fool’s game. Gavin is high energy, which is not code for “too much.” He’s delicious and we’ve enjoyed photographing him over the years, but he is all boy and loves to be outside, getting dirty and mixing it up. He is fueled by adventure and exploration. During our last session, he pulled his shirt off and made a break for it on foot. I remember Jessica taking off after him in her wedge heels. His energy was the same during this session.

Ryan captured these images and made sure that Gavin was able to sample all the fun this park had to offer. Happy Birthday, Buddy! Fly, run, play, soldier on and we’ll see you soon!

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.
