Awww, Sweetness……..Baby Faces!
Gearing up for Valentine’s Day has me thinking about the unadulterated cuteness of the babies I’m honored to photograph. For maternity sessions, I am engaged in capturing the excitement and anticipation of the parents. After that, my time with newborns and babies is an embarrassment of riches. Their big eyes looking for friendly faces, if not meaning yet, their crazy cute features from lashes to teeny toes, the expressions they make, the outfits and settings mothers and I concoct, …. it’s all heaven. So here’s to baby faces I love.
If you are expecting or know someone who is, we hope you will contact us or encourage them to. Maternity, newborn, 6 month, one year portraits are my jam, as a photographer and a mom. I would love to meet and work with you to capture those memories and milestones.
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.

Gracelynn turns one – boho outdoor and cake smash photos
Our garden grows the most interesting blooms and recently presented a new one: we call it “the Gracelynn.” It’s bright, delicate and you cannot stop looking at it.
Gracelynn came to our outdoor garden studio to celebrate her first birthday and it was the perfect spot to grab photos of this lovely little flower. We created a boho setting for her to smash her very first birthday cake, but some of the real gems from this shoot are from her interacting with her fellow blooms.
Gracelynn’s mom chose a palette of pink, pale rose and neutrals and we just let this girl shine. She did not need any coaching!
Happy Birthday, Little Girl! You felt like a burst of spring in our midst. We hope that you’ll come back to see us any season that suits you.

Astrid turns One
This little maiden is Astrid and she’s currently a perfectly delightful little one year old. I can personally attest to this. We captured her parents, Macy and Jesse, for the maternity shoot and they were so excited, so beautiful, and my time with them showed me, especially during the height of Covid, how much hope was still in the world. I love it when my job reminds me of that.
We photographed Astrid’s newborn session in the studio, met up with the three of them for the 6 month session in the same location as their maternity photos and finally again for her one year session in our outdoor portrait garden. I love the lighting and the setting we chose. Babies in the outdoors just please me.
As with Astrid’s six month photo session, I pulled Mom and Dad away for a couple of shots just of them. It’s important to see yourselves as a couple too and not just parents. I’m so excited to see this little nugget grow into the girl she’s going to be.

Angelina Turns One – Cake Smash Photos
This juicy fruit of a baby is Angelina and I’m astonished that she’s now a year old! I remember shooting maternity images of her expectant and excited parents and it feels like moments ago. Parents Jessica and Bobby Bennett are two of the most fun people I’ve photographed in the last year plus.
Angelina has been cute since day one and I would know. She made it to our studio not long after she was born (and she arrived three weeks early!) and was a deliciously juicy little newborn bundle then. For her six month portraits, we all met up at our favorite orchard and captured her underneath the pink blossoms.
For her first birthday, we were back in the studio with a luau theme, lots of bright colors, pineapples, props, costume changes, and of course, a cake to destroy – I mean nibble. Angelina was so easy to work with and loved her outfits and the icing she sampled. I love these full circle one year moments! Happy Birthday, Sweet Angelina!!

Baby’s First Year Photography Packages
We recently reminded you fine people out there about our Referral Program, and Pixels clients should take advantage of it! But now is also a great time to remind those of you who are thinking about starting a family, newly engaged or just married. We have a package created just for you that nearly all of our maternity or new parents avail themselves of: the One Year Baby Package. I chose a beloved family for whom we captured maternity, newborn, 6 month and finally the first birthday of their adorable daughter.
Our package covers newborn portraits, a 6-month portrait session and then a One Year Birthday session. Maternity portraits can be added if you desire. Even if Pixels did not photograph your engagement shots, your wedding or any other portraits, you can still take advantage of this package. Parents tell us over and over again how grateful they are that they made this a priority. These images make not only great memories and heirlooms, but baby and family portraits are perfect gifts for grandparents or relatives. Often clients create canvases for their children’s bedrooms or for the family wall of images. Ryan and I will even create and install these.
I’m sharing two blogs with more details about why I’m passionate about covering a baby’s first year, and even more details about what each session captures. Give me a call and let’s start planning.
