brothers frank and nick | total guy portrait photography

For some reason we have the opportunity to photograph more girls than guys for family portraits. So when Mom, Luann said to us “I want you to take pictures of my boys” (who happen to race motocross, are super cute, and need portfolios). We said YES PLEASE!

What impressed us most, Frank and Nick came out of their house and were the first to introduce themselves and offer their hands for a shake.  How many 9-14 year olds do you know that do this with adults???  They were so polite, social, and were naturals, totally comfortable in their own skin! We could photograph these guys for hours and we did.

This is not your typical portrait of a child or high school senior pics kind of session. This is what happens during a Pixels On Paper portrait session!  As long as you keep sending us girls and GUYS to photograph we’ll keep making magic happen.

The best part was seeing these guys in their own element surrounded by their sport, their hobby, and their passion. These two are into motocross and are traveling the circuit. When on the bikes they get serious and are totally Bad A**.  Keep your eyes out in the future for them in the magazines.

Check out our website and Facebook pages for more creative photography during family portraits and senior pics.

things we love – automobiles – and the stories they tell

Something most people wouldn’t know about us is that we love automobiles, chrome, shiny paint jobs, rusted bumpers, and even big bulky beaters.  Vehicles with history, stories, musty and rawhide leather smells draw us in and tempt us to spend hours getting to know every detail.  It’s an uncommon passion among people our age. This day and time people rarely keep a car long enough for it to become a part of their family.  Fortunately that’s not the case for us.  Misty still has her very first car, a now pristine 1974 VW Superbeetle, that became a family hobby and in her opinion is priceless.  Ryan treasures the memories made in his 1982 light blue Chevy Chevette and at every sighting recollects a story that always draws a smile.

Early on when dating, car shows became a part of our lives and free time.  We have countless photos of cool cars, hood ornaments, and chrome reflections of cars that we have no idea who they belong to and in a few cases no clue of their make and model. We love hot rods, old trucks with sexy curves, lead sleds, and engines that will always have an oil leak leaving their mark on the carports and garages that protect them. Recently when looking at stacks of family photos dating back to the 1930s a friend noticed that 25 percent included their cars in the background. We had a revelation that this natural appreciation was breed in us. Even our wedding photos and exit were in Misty’s Grandfather’s 1949 dark green convertible Jeepster.

For a recent portrait session another of her Grandfather’s cars was pulled out of the garage and cleaned up. This time a beautiful one-owner 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood, a car that carried a family of seven and still had room to spare in the back seat and the trunk.  Like always the temptation was evoked to spend more time with a car, capturing the details, listening to the stories, and visualizing a period before our time.  We hope this opportunity to share a little known fact about ourselves gives friends and fans further insight to who we are. Even more we hope that sharing these images of the Caddy stir your imagination in the way that it does ours.

 

{kristen + dustin} wedding pictures in wilkes county | creative photography

Our first wedding of 2011 belongs to Kristen and Dustin. After some fear over the weather and devastating tornadoes in other parts of North Carolina it turned out to be beautiful April weather in Wilkes County for these two to say “I Do”.   It was a simple country wedding church ceremony and reception with lots of attention and time spent on the details.  We will let this sample of their wedding pictures tell the story. Congratulations to Kristen and Dustin!

As we mentioned in our earlier sneak peek blog post, Dustin loves his job as a Fireman at the Wilkesboro station and we were more than happy to incorporate that into our photos.

Be sure to view more of their wedding photos as well as many others on the Pixels On Paper website.
