Senior Portraits
We know you’re still tending sun burn, tired muscles from outdoor play, and getting sand out of …….. places, if you took a last summer trip over the holiday weekend. Welcome home and time to plan for those of you with high school seniors. It’s time for portraits! If you have a student, student-athlete, an artistic adult in the making, or just a senior with a new fall wardrobe they want to show off, we’re ready to capture a pretty important milestone.
We are scheduling fall senior portraits now. Contact us and let’s begin scouting locations, choosing a theme or style if you have one and making a plan.
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.

Austin’s Senior Photos
Ryan was on point for this senior portrait session with Austin and the proof is in the visible smiles. Ryan makes the guys we capture (think graduations, engagements, … posing!) feel at ease for portrait sessions and once we get them outside, and around people they love, the rest is pretty easy. This was the case with Austin.
Austin wanted to wait for his Army sash to arrive because he wanted to display it proudly, but after it came, Ryan met up with Austin, his girlfriend and his mother at North Wilkes High School to wander and shoot pics. They chatted, loosened up and laughed while Ryan found moments to capture moments.
Ryan shared that Austin would smile when asked, but lit up completely when his girlfriend joined him in front of the camera. Naturally! He clearly adores her, as he does his mom and we are so glad that we have images of them all to mark this time.
Austin will be moving into his new life in the Army in the weeks to come and is excited about the next chapter of his life. We are wishing you all the best, dude! We are all in such a hurry to finish one thing and move on to another. It’s good to take a breath to be in the moment and celebrate.

David’s High School Senior Portrait Photos
David Eldridge (and his lifelong friend and sidekick Bryson) let Ryan hang out with them AND grab David’s senior portraits. David is one of five boys in a family that is generous, rugged, and anchored by their superhero mom – Stacy. In the land of men, she is not just the elder, but the Queen and I’ve admired her for years.
Back to David!! He and Bryson are all man, all about the outdoors and all about farm life and being real. Having Bryson around loosened David up, made him less self-conscious and the pair cracked each other up and were able to relax. (Ryan too had a ball.) In fact, Ryan and I commented that in some of these photos the pair reminded him of a country music duo shooting an album cover… think Tyler Childers or Chris Stapleton. There’s no cynicism with these two, just friendship and a sense that simplicity in all things is best.
There was no second choice for this location of this session – it was going to be outside and on the family farm. Senior portraits are an important milestone and we’ve captured older brother Gage’s portraits a couple of years ago.
We’ve shot images of this family for a decade. The most recent took place with members of both the Eldridge and Wood families, but we started years ago, when the boys really were just that – boys.
Congratulations, David and the class of 2021! We are so proud of you!

Class of 2020 Senior Portrait Photos
Yes, we’re in the middle of a pandemic. No, that does not at all diminish what you’ve accomplished. Graduation dates are approaching and we’ve got seniors on the brain.
While we know that high school and college seniors are basically either on pins and needles about their graduation ceremonies or they are now gearing up for something a little different than perhaps they wanted, we’re here to help.
These milestones are still big deals in your life and we want you to be able to get dressed up and have portraits taken that will memorialize your accomplishments.
While Pixels is strictly following all protocols laid out by the CDC and other government agencies, we do have an open air outdoor portrait garden that is glorious and ready for senior portrait sessions.
As the weeks and months unfold, we hope that we will be able to schedule individual shoots with no physical contact. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in discussing a plan to capture your senior milestone portraits. We’re here.

Ashleigh High School Senior
This lovely 18 year old is Ashleigh, and recently when we photographed her family in Stone Mountain, we also made time to get photos of her as a soon-to-be high school graduate. In May of 2020, Ashleigh will finish up at West Wilkes High School and head on to her next adventure. I love this young woman and I have been photographing her since she was about 3. I cannot believe that she’s graduating from high school, because I graduated HS with her mom!!!!! I have a two year old, Ashleigh’s mom Jenny has an 18 year old. We Gen-Xers all took our own paths and I love it.
One of the things I love about Ashleigh is that she knows her own mind and is perfectly happy to share her thoughts. She’s not rude, but she’s sassy and holds her own when ribbing her brother and parents, who were on the shoot with us. She is fun and funny and honest with herself. This is a girl I won’t need to worry about.
During the outdoor portrait session, Ashleigh had three or four wardrobe changes, and wore a boho style hat that she loved. She looks fab in it, if I say so myself.
Not all rising seniors or almost graduated students are happy with the options provided through their school and Ashleigh really wanted images that could work in a photo album, graduation invitations & announcements and especially on social media. We made sure that we captured loads for her to share, print and frame. Seniors: there are a lot of options out there and you have specific needs during this time in life. I promise, we’ve got you covered.
Congratulations, Girl! Ryan and I are so proud of you and hope you’ll keep letting us snap your photo long into the next chapters of your life.
