Don’t mind me. I’m still just musing about summer, about how this season spoils us with harvests and makes us dream of cooler temps. It gives us some time with friends and family. Whether you are in an urban setting chatting with neighbors or in the middle of the woods camping, we all have been eager to gather and summer, like Christmas, feels like a roaming party.
Here are some more summer images from our files to share. Feel free to share yours with us on Facebook or share and tag us on Instagram..
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.

They say context is everything, and it’s certainly important, but I’m feeling like a random summer playlist in photos is overdue. No order. No context. No BIG message to convey, besides, “ain’t summer grand?” The same way you hit random with your songs, here goes with some favorite summer shots.

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.

As you print out the Butterball turkey hotline number to put on the frig, iron bedding for out-of-town guests (I have a friend who ACTUALLY does this, but she told me she’d kill me if I shared her number), stock the pantry, sharpen your knives, throw out the old bathroom soap, and get everything else pulled together for Thanksgiving, I want to give you a loving tap on the shoulder and remind you that it’s time to be thinking about your holiday portrait session. This year, we’re doing in-home sessions only, because not only do we love doing them, more importantly, YOU GUYS told us you love them too.
We made this decision also because we remember the best things about Christmas happen at home. Here’s a little excerpt I wrote about our reasoning from 2016:
The same is true two years later. We want to be in your world during one of the most important holidays and seasons each year.
In-home sessions allow you to be more relaxed while we document the season, your family, playing games, eating and “doing life.” Some families want to dress up and make it more festive, others hang in their pjs. It’s ALL good.
Our prices have not changed since 2016! Give us a call or send us an email and let’s get you and your in-home photo session on the calendar.

It’s true. We love them. So many elements come into play when we take portraits: the location, the purpose, the subjects and the weather if it’s an outdoor session. Ultimately though, it’s about capturing the faces of those we see through our lenses. We want to showcase characteristics, expressions and even the smallest attributes that really shine through.
Years from now, when they look back, we want them to feel connected to that person, to smile, to remember and to feel seen.
We just LOVE FACES.
We also love feet.
But that’s another blog.
