Christmas Portraits at Home
… as in YOUR home and yes, we are offering this again this year. We’ve received a few queries from those interested and we have a health and safety plan in place we have been using with summer and fall shoots. If God is willing and the creek don’t rise, we can do this. Who’s in?
Above are just a sampling of the sweet York family from last year after welcoming their daughter Tinleigh into a home filled with boys. But this idea originated a few years ago when Ryan and I were reminiscing about the fact that some of our favorite childhood photographs are taken at Christmas. We’ve celebrated this idea since with documentary and in home holiday session, and in more than a few blogs.
The Spillmans (above) welcomed son Barrett a few years ago and we loved capturing his first Christmas at home.
So what is involved?
First, we are not changing our prices nor have we since this idea took off.
Second, we will of course follow all CDC and local protocols with regard to safe distancing during the entirety of the session; we will wear masks, and shoot images outside if the weather continues its warm trajectory. If you have specials requests in terms of safety, please let us know.
The fee of $125 is due when you make your reservation. 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. Call 336-990-0080 to reserve or email inquiries to mail@pixelsonpaper.net.
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.

Holland Family In Home Christmas Photos
This is not a first and it certainly isn’t a first with this gorgeous family. In 2016, we visited the Holland family at their home to shoot Christmas holiday portraits and we were delighted to return this year to repeat the fun.
It was wonderful to see parents Kevin and Tram and their three children, Colton, Ava and Sophia. Relaxing and decorating the tree were an easy part of the day. Their home is lovely and we always enjoy this slice of life, documentary style of photo session.
Not only are the kids continuing to grow before our very eyes, the family has added a new puppy to the mix. Seriously? The only thing that can improve upon the beautiful setting, the season and the family is the addition of a little snuggle-bun in the form of a Jack Russell.
Merry Christmas to EVERYONE out there! Ryan and I wish you nothing but joy, health and peace this season.

Christmas Portrait Sessions 2019
Whether at home or in our studio, we’re still booking portrait sessions for the holiday season. If you want to come to our already decorated and glorious portrait studio, please be in touch!
We change it up every year, but the organization and ease on you is the same! You’ll be cozy and won’t have to do a thing at your own home.
If you want to have your portraits for the holidays taken at your home, we can make that happen too and it’s NOT as huge a deal as you might imagine. Just call and ask us about dates and times that are still available. The setting can be tidy and a bit more formal….
…. or you can relax at home and just be together in your space, doing your thing. The only exception is that you don’t have to be behind the camera. You can read books, decorate or have an all out free for all. We don’t judge. We just capture!
As time runs out for all of us this season, be in touch before it’s too late and we’ll do our best to accommodate your tribe! Can’t wait to hear from you.
For more, here’s our reasoning behind this season’s portrait offerings and pricing!

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 is Coming – Time to Schedule Your In-Home Portraits
So much to do, so much to plan, so much to organize… and folks, I am right there with you. The mind reels during the holiday season. No sooner have you taken the surplus Halloween candy to work, than you’re gearing up for Thanksgiving. But we hope that you find time for making memories and capturing them for posterity. We managed to get out with our little pumpkin – Finley – to enjoy some warm temps.
But here is one task you can check off your list in 5 minutes: scheduling your Christmas portrait session. While you may not know exactly what you want your holiday portraits or cards to look like, or what you want your family to be wearing, or if you want to include pets, it’s time to call and schedule your in-home portraits session.
Pajamas and tree decorating. Check.
Wrapping presents around a fire. No problem.
Playing touch football in the yard. Sure.
Decorating cookies and destroying the kitchen. Why not?
Playing board games or lying in a pile watching the Grinch or reading The Night Before Christmas. Absolutely.
… whatever the tableau, we’re in to brainstorm, laugh with you, help with the idea and document it. At home sessions are WAY MORE FUN than you know, unless you’ve booked us for a one in the past. Families have told us how thrilled they are to have these specific memories forever.
