Family Christmas Portraits in studio
It is beyond rewarding to decorate your studio, tell everyone you’re ready and have the phone start ringing. And it kept ringing. Every time we opened our doors, there were faces we love grinning back at us.
Here is a selection from two families we snapped recently: the Bynums and the Bells! We love you all!
Two words for the faces below: teeny elves.
Here’s two more: stinking cute.
The Bells are the sweetest couple and we love that they want to have portraits taken as a young duo. [Heads up, people out there who would love holiday portraits: if you want images taken with your pets, best friends, favorite next door neighbors, college roommates, nutty cousins or coworkers – we do not require that you show DNA matches. We don’t care AT ALL! Just show up and we’ll create a Christmas memory for you.]
I look at the images from both shoots and see perfect Christmas cards, frameable images and great gifts. All these folks did was pick out a festive outfit and show up. The rest was a cool holiday breeze.
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.

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.

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!

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!
