WCC Culinary Arts Building
It has been a summer of commercial shoots and it’s been all Ryan and I could not be more proud or more grateful to have his talent and partnership in work and life. His eye for good client work and the best ways to promote it through clean, gorgeous photography is impressive. Am I biased? Probably, but that doesn’t mean that I’m wrong.
Today’s feature is the new Culinary Arts Building at Wilkes Community College. Built by our clients MBI Builders, this new Culinary Arts building is ready for new students this fall.
I can see the students filling each of these spaces and each of these stations and learning all they will need to know to be excellent chefs, line cooks, hospitality experts, and small business owners. Growth in an individual life meets economic growth and the culinary arts is indeed a growing specialty on campus.
We have a great working relationship with MBI Builders and have been photographing their amazing work in the private, residential sector over the years. This firm also does elegant commercial work for government contracts, parks and recreation and industry leaders like Procor.

Craft Bistro
Food. Glorious food. In the past, we’ve been asked by business owners to shoot images of their space, work and atmosphere. Favorites that come to mind are New Appalachia and Boondocks Brewing. We know and love the gang there and enjoyed the project. These commercial shoots are a way to mix it up for us as pro photographers. So when our dear friend Jared Yelton, the owner and chef of Craft Bistro called us to photograph the vibe and emotion of opening and running his restaurant, we immediately grabbed our gear and said yes!
Craft Bistro, located in West Jefferson, has only been open for a few months but has been doing some amazing things already.
On the day of the shoot, we were able to capture the skilled, efficient and talented team before service started, grabbing a quick group shot as well as some exteriors of the building.
Then the doors opened and the kitchen ramped up. They wanted us to get the passion behind the food as well as the great space that houses everything. The kitchen is open to guests, because Jared and his team’s view is that there is nothing to hide. Cooking, serving and eating can be a shared, communal experience.
As food would come to the “pass,” Ryan was able to grab it and do a quick shot and then it was off to the table, so the images are of actual customers’ dishes, not something set up to be the perfect shot. He loved this dynamic and organic type of shooting and capturing the “dance” in the kitchen with Jared at the helm, and the other chefs moving around getting their part of the meal ready. It all felt seamless. Photo shoots like these allow us to “feed” off the creativity and drive of our subjects, and it’s always a treat to watch people do what they are so passionate about and so great at doing.
Note: we have worked with Jared before when he was at another restaurant and really appreciate his point of view and certainly that he reached out to us for this project. That’s a rewarding feeling.
If you haven’t tried this wonderful spot, we urge you to check them out.
Craft Bistro is located at 8 E Main St., West Jefferson, NC. We wish them nothing but the greatest success as they feed our need to eat with our eyes as well as our palettes and share a completely wonderful experience with hungry guests. Go see them! You will not be disappointed.

Architectural Photographs of Lake Norman home
Once again, we were proud to be brought in to capture architectural images of a recently completed house on Lake Norman. This home on Rockabill Lane was designed by the local branch of LaBella, a national company, and built by MBI. The homeowners were thrilled with MBIs work and craftsmanship and were very pleased with the finished product. You can see why in the images we took. It’s a lovely modern mountain home with all the amenities and some incredible views.
There are several unique details to the build that were new for MBI. The chain for the rafter ties together the main living space. The wine barrel sink in the lower floor half bath is clever in that space. And the 2-sided fireplace that had one side in the master bedroom and the other in the master bath is extraordinary. All of these features are amazing and suit the house perfectly.
The house sits on a quiet cove peninsula of Lake Norman in Mooresville and has more than 200 degree views of the water from the large bank of accordion doors overlooking the in-ground pool. While it is a mountain house in feel, it clearly does not lack elegance.

MBI Builders & PROCOR Industrial | Commercial Project & Photography
Pixels has been asked to shoot images for MBI Builders many times and we always love the challenge of architectural photography, with the angles, light and focus on the purpose of each shot. For these projects, our marketing minds kick in and we need to keep the target audience in mind. With weddings, family or baby portraits, we know the audience. With commercial photography, we get to really sit and have a brand, business and promotional materials conversation. These are conversations we love!
Ryan took this gig (he nails the commercial work, you guys) and he created some lovely images for MBI of the space they designed and executed for PROCOR Industrial.
PROCOR Industrial is located in Cornelius, NC and signed MBI Builders for a recent project. The office spaces and group areas created allow individuals and teams at PROCOR to be more productive, feel more connected, and enable employees to accomplish both segmented and team-driven projects.
MBI shared this with us: “The PROCOR project was indeed unique. It is not necessarily a new endeavor, as commercial work is becoming one of our primary areas of focus, but this was a very modern job. Our main goal is always to build value with each and every client, and we believe we achieved this with our designs for PROCOR.”
These images will be used in MBI’s portfolio and marketing collateral and we loved being a part of their marketing team to make this happen.
