Sarah & Daniel’s trail-lovin’ outdoor engagement portraits
This whole “time” thing – where one day and action and relationship spawns myriad other days, actions and relationships – is sort of playing out with newly engaged Sarah Noon and Daniel Caudill. Daniel was a model for prom portraits for us back in the day. When his sister Ashley became engaged, he recommended us as their photographers. We shot Ashley and Oscar’s wedding. Then, just a year ago, Daniel asked if we would do a just because portrait session for him with his girlfriend at the time, Sarah. And now, here we are. They are engaged themselves and tapped us for the photos. This timeline, these relationships, are sort of our North Star. We want to create beautiful images that will last for those who hire us. The beauty part is that the relationships last and they not only lead to more time with our cameras, but lasting memories all around.
Once we reached the panorama, we learned that Sarah is not as madly in love with heights as she is with Daniel. We worked the angles – literally – to get the views, make her comfortable and still keep it light and beautiful.
We’ll be photographing the wedding of these two in August and cannot wait to continue the curving roads of this relationship that began simply with a good model. We know he’ll be a good husband too.
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.

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.

Happy Valentine’s Day – Love and Photography
Valentines come in many shapes and sizes, but love is love. Holding your little sister? Yep… LOVE.
Enjoying a view while engaged? Love. You’re not married, but you’re FOR REAL. Watching couples take in a view reminds Ryan and me of falling in love with each other and why we love taking images like the one above of couples at the beginning. 
Loving your family enough to make arrangements and drag your buns from the 4 corners to get a photo for scrapbooks and walls? That’s LOVE.
Siblings, newlyweds, babies …………. all love and easy to love (maybe not always the teenagers).
New love, enduring love, love surrounded by family in a kilt or held in your arms for the first time – we celebrate love in all of its forms. Hug your sweetheart, scratch your dog or pet your cats, cuddle your baby, share chocolates with your coworkers or neighbors and, for the love of Pete – call your Mom!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day!!

We get it.

christine & adam’s loray mill engagement photos | pixels on paper nc wedding photographers
Adam, Christine and a cozy Kensie – their “child.”
We met Christine at the wedding of her friends, Lauren and Patrick in 2014. This girl is a referral machine. We’ve not only booked more weddings because of her recommendations, but when she got engaged herself, she called us. We chatted with the pair at yet another wedding (no, they are not professional wedding goers!) and they were musing about potential engagement photos spots. We told them what we always tell couples: choose a location that’s meaningful to you so that in years to come you can look back at the photos and recognize the setting for its significance. That was when a lightbulb appeared over Adam’s head.
We took advantage of as many angles and options as possible and loved doing so with the couple and their sweet dog Kensie. These 2 will make it official (if you didn’t look closely at the photo above), October 22 of this year in Charlotte and we’ll be there to capture the next set of family memories and history. Counting the days!
