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.

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!

Minick Family Christmas Photos
I’m not going to lie; the temptation to hit rewind and dig up images of the this couple before they were married, before the delicious “chirrin” showed up is just about to break this photographer. These people are family.
BUT I’M NOT GONNA DO IT.
We love the Minicks so much and couldn’t wait to get them into our portrait studio for photographs for this holiday season. Two became three with the birth of their daughter and now, they are four.
Amelia…… you sweet girl! Feel free to put the breaks on with the whole growth thing. Our hearts can’t take it.

Any time we’re around this family, we feel happier, lighter and connected to our roots. And they look festive in our studio this year and every year.

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!
