now scheduling: fall outdoor mountain portraits of families, children, engagement & bridal

Driving around yesterday, I rolled down the windows for a few minutes and experienced that first smell of fall. Leaves are falling and changing and the smell was that welcome first sense of the next season. Where did summer go? ALL of our seasons in NC feel like transitions to the next and I love it. We never have 10 months of summer or 9 months of winter like other parts of the country – thank the Lord. Autumn is coming. Start layering your clothes and adding a sweater to the back seat when you head out.

This means that it’s also time for fall portraits and we’ve planned a limited number of outdoor sessions for family, child and engagement portraits. We want to capture these while it’s gorgeous, but in specific areas, because this pregnant first time mom-to-be has her eyes on the prize when it’s not pressed against a lens. Book now! Details below.Hatfield Photography, Family portrait photography by Wilkesboro NC Photographers Pixels On Paper photo

We’ll be photographing fall portrait sessions from September 30th until the second week of October (or until Little Man Case arrives) in Boone, Blowing Rock, Jefferson or Wilkesboro. Based on the lack of rain, history and the handy-dandy Farmer’s Almanac, we anticipate the color change in the NC mountains to be earlier this year. We encourage anyone who wants photos to reserve their session as soon as possible. Session fees start at $150 and are due at the time of reservation.  Call 336-990-0080 or email mail@pixelsonpaper.net for more info or to reserve your session. wilkesboro nc outdoor family portrait pixels on paper photography photo

Allen Family outdoor portrait photography in West Jefferson NC

I defy you to look through these photos of the Allen family without smiling. It’s not possible.Allen family outdoor photos Pixels On Paper Photography West Jefferson Boone Blowing Rock NC Mountains family photographers photoAllen family outdoor photos Pixels On Paper Photography West Jefferson Boone Blowing Rock NC Mountains family photographers photoAllen family outdoor photos Pixels On Paper Photography West Jefferson Boone Blowing Rock NC Mountains family photographers photoAllen family outdoor photos Pixels On Paper Photography West Jefferson Boone Blowing Rock NC Mountains family photographers photoAllen family outdoor photos Pixels On Paper Photography West Jefferson Boone Blowing Rock NC Mountains family photographers photo

Lauren and Patrick (PA) Allen’s family has increased since we photographed their wedding, June 28th, 2014 at Lauren’s Dad’s Big Red Barn in West Jefferson NC. They’re now a family of 5, which includes PA’s older daughter who couldn’t be a part of this shoot and their daughter Kayleigh – the crazy cute brunette-slash-big-sister.

PA is in the military, and immediately following their wedding, the family moved to Tennessee where they’ve lived on base until just a few weeks ago. We’re happy that these Charlotte natives are back in North Carolina, with PA serving at Ft. Bragg. Lauren contacted us to set up a family portrait before baby Cooper and daughter Kayleigh get any older. We knew exactly where we wanted to shoot these photos: right back to the Big Red Barn where it all officially began 3 years ago.

Ryan and I like to meet up with Lauren’s Dad, CJ, whenever he visits the mountains at Boondocks, our favorite drinking hole in West Jefferson. We solve the world’s problems over craft beer. On this day, we spent the entire time laughing and joking with each other. These guys were sweet enough to brings us gifts for our little man on the way and provided great advice on babies and especially baby boys. We love this growing family and are so excited to have them closer again. There will be loads to share as Cooper grows and our boy is born. We’ve already began planning Christmas portraits! I love it when God sends people back into our lives.

To begin planning your family portrait photography, no matter where your located or the size, contact us.

Outdoor Photo Shoots – It’s About Location

In my recent blog about summer photos, I mentioned that you don’t have to be getting married to plan a photo session with us during this gorgeous time of year. Although….. look at these two below. Pretty fab standing in the Church of Mother Nature. Potential outdoor shots are practically everywhere.

Summer, Summer, Summer – Great Time for Professional Photos

Every year there is the song of the summer. It gets played over and over and we make it part of that year, that season and that time. Those of us who grew up in the 80s listened to Bananarama (“Cruel Summer”), Billy Idol (“Hot in the City”), Brian Adams (“Summer of ’69”), U2 (“Indian Summer Sky”), Don Henley, Van Halen and others. The 1990s brought us DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince – or Will Smith’s “Summertime,” Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” (remember those scooters in California?), Smash Mouth and Janet Jackson. I hear summer songs this time of year everywhere, including in my head whether I want to or not. Don’t judge – you know you do too. And it makes me think of the little movies we have running in our minds. Our lives to music, with friends and family, children, engagements, new jobs, pitfalls and adventures. There’s a soundtrack and loads of mental images. This year, make sure there are some concrete images as well. Summer photos are keepsakes and we love taking them.

Allison Elliott Outdoor Senior Portrait photosBarnes family outdoor photos by Pixels On Paper Portrait PhotographersRyan and I find that summer photo sessions aren’t just about weddings and engagements or Merlefest. We’re asked to capture families, children and any event that matters when the sun is high and people are gathered. Summer outdoor photos capture not only place and people, but specific aspects of where you are in life. What was going on in your family? How old are your kids? What sports or instruments are they playing? Do you have hobbies and pets you want to include? Do you take an annual trip to our part of the Carolinas every year and want to commemorate it? We find that our friends want to show off everything from their kayaks to their dogs, great grandchildren, new homes, summer vacations, gardens and just about everything else.

We’ll help you with location, should you need it and then make sure that the photos are perfect for gifts or family heirlooms.

Give us a call to book a summer session that you’ll have to remember forever. You don’t have to be getting married to want to commemorate the summer of 2017.
