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.

Outdoor Location Portraits

Location photos continue to be some of our favorites to review over the years and certainly to shoot. We’re about to enter the end of summer and the advent of fall and sharing some photos of clients of all stripes in a variety of landscapes just felt right.

Children in a garden, engaged couples under bridges, newlyweds, families, all outdoors. Join them.

Sydney and Cherokee’s prom

Sydney Chambers and Cherokee Church (tell me those aren’t the names of heroines in a really great novel!) have been besties for more than 12 years. I’ve literally watched the two of  them grow up from babies. These days, they are juniors at West Wilkes High School and a few weeks ago we photographed their prom portraits in our outdoor portrait garden at our studio in Wilkesboro.

They are beautiful young women – inside and out and here at the beach – and are two of my favorite portrait subjects. I love you ladies to bits!! Pixels On Paper Photography Chambers prom portrait photography photoPixels On Paper Photography Chambers prom portrait photography photoPixels On Paper Photography Chambers prom portrait photography photo
