The Coffey Family Outdoor Portrait Photos
Capturing Timeless Moments in the Brushy Mountains of Moravian Falls, NC
As the leaves begin to turn vibrant hues of orange, red, and gold, there’s no better time to photograph a family’s love and connection than during the breathtaking fall season in North Carolina. This was precisely the vision behind the Coffey family’s outdoor portrait session with Pixels on Paper Photography. Nestled in the serene beauty of the Brushy Mountains in Moravian Falls, the setting created a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable memories.
The Magic of Fall in Moravian Falls
Moravian Falls, NC, is one of the hidden gems of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Its rolling hills, majestic views, and colorful fall foliage provide the perfect canvas for capturing the essence of nature and the warmth of family. The fall season adds an extra layer of charm to this already beautiful area—crisp air, golden sunlight, and the smell of autumn leaves filling the air. It’s as if nature herself was inviting the Coffey family to step into a scene straight out of a storybook.
Pixels on Paper Photography couldn’t have chosen a more stunning location for the family’s portrait session. With the Brushy Mountains as a backdrop, the fall colors provided the perfect complement to the family’s vibrant personalities. From the golden yellows of the oak trees to the deep reds of the maples, the landscape itself seemed to celebrate the Coffey family’s bond.
The Family Connection: Capturing Moments of Joy
The Coffey family, full of love and laughter, was a joy to photograph. Their close-knit relationships and natural connection were apparent from the moment the session began. Whether it was a shared laugh between siblings or a loving embrace between parents, Pixels on Paper Photography worked with them to capture these candid moments that truly reflect their story.
One of the most beautiful parts of family portraits is seeing the genuine expressions of love and affection between family members. As the sun dipped lower into the sky, creating that warm, golden hour light, the Coffey family shared moments of joy in front of the camera. From playful interactions with their children to tender moments between the parents, each frame told a story of togetherness and affection.
A Family’s Legacy in Nature
Outdoor portraits in the mountains are not just about taking a picture; they’re about capturing the essence of the family in a place that means something special to them. The Brushy Mountains are more than just a beautiful backdrop—they are part of the Coffey family’s story. Whether they’ve spent years living there, hiking the trails, exploring the woods, and simply enjoying the beauty of this area, these portraits will forever be a reminder of this special time in their lives.
The combination of nature’s splendor and family love resulted in photographs that transcend time. These portraits will be passed down through generations, each one telling the story of the Coffey family and the beautiful autumn day they spent together in the Brushy Mountains.
The Final Frame
Whether it’s the stillness of the mountains or the warmth of autumn sunlight, the Coffey family’s outdoor portrait session is a perfect example of how photography can capture not just a moment in time, but the emotions, connections, and beauty that make family memories unforgettable.

Looking back at 2023
We are diving head first into 2024 but not before completing a blog post that recaps the photos of our client’s and friends from 2023. We continue to feel incredibly blessed that so many each and every year trust us to photograph and capture the most important memories of their lives. We met some amazing people, felt like a part of so many of these people’s lives, and more often than not were right there along side of them having just as much fun. We gained numerous friendships last year. 2023 brought senior portraits, family portraits, newborn photography, photos of children, pet pics, and commercial photography both in our studio and out and about on location. We are inpatient when it comes to figuring out what 2024 will bring and excited about the photographs we will capture and designs we will create
The following are a few of our personal favorite images from some of those we photographed in 2023. Enjoy the view!

My love of details in photography
As we straddle the seasons (what North Carolinians know as “my new daffodils invited the last snow” season), I’m noticing the details everywhere. It got me thinking about the details I love to capture in my photographs. There is always a subject – always a story being told – but it’s the details that we hover over.
In that vein – here are some favorites. Happy Spring, gang! Don’t worry – you’ll get that hour back one way or another.
Engagements
Engagement portraits speak to love and the anticipation of your public union. But for me, these images are transformed when I can capture the small glances, the body English, the closeness between the almost married. These images take my breath away still.
Maternity
Maternity portraits are some of my favorites. Mothers in that mode of nesting and at their most happy, full and ripe. But I always encourage the father or father-to-be to take part in front of the camera. The union of the parents always comes through in the images and the details of care and excitement come through.
Newborns
There aren’t enough blog posts to contain my favorite images of babies being …………. babies.

Barn building complete + the finishing touch
So my mom raises charolais cattle – pretty white cows with pink noses and has for a while now. As if she doesn’t have enough to do. If you can today – call your Mom and tell her that you know how amazing she is.
Now where was I?
A while back our clan built a barn on their property for these cows and it’s completed now. We still had one finishing touch to add and that was something Ryan and I worked on.
There is a beloved member of Mom’s charolais cattle and her name is Shiloh. She is both matriarch and pet (she finds time to be both in her busy schedule) and was the inspiration for a quilt/plaque that Ryan designed, I painted and he built. We knew it would be the keystone of the barn and a signal to my mom’s love of what she does.
After we finished creating the quilt/plaque, we took it to share with Shiloh, …. you know… to get her approval.
I promise that we’re safe. Seeing Ryan atop all of those pallets would make your heart stop if you didn’t know Ryan. He wrapped up the project by hanging the quilt above the barn door exterior.
We love it! Mom loves it, and Shiloh – while seemingly underwhelmed – appears to be a fan too. She celebrates her 12th birthday on March 9th. Happy Birthday, OG (that stands for old gal!!)
