Orchard Portrait Photos – Spring in the NC Mountains – time to book!
As the exclusive photographers at one of our favorite places – a nearby orchard – we look forward to gathering there with families, couples, prom goers and the like to capture them among some pretty gorgeous blooms. Yes, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but at some point during that crazy change-over, this orchard is magic. The weather can and does affect it but we stand at the ready to photograph.
To see the kinds of photos we’ve taken in previous years – have a look! And gang, it’s time to book. So consider this your official reminder and contact us to schedule your session.
Stacie in repose
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, engagements and weddings, brides, and 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.

Dreams of Blooms – Orchard Photography
It’s January. It’s as cold as a well-digger’s bootie and we’ve gotten snow and experienced unseasonable – some southerners would say unreasonable – temps. But it IS winter after all. While I’m home with sweet Finley, every day is an adventure, but the seasons don’t stop, and as any hard-working meteorologist will tell you, neither does weather. There’s something comforting about the expectations of each season, because we know that the earth is going to keep turning, the sun keep shining and that will bring spring. Some days, I dream of spring and because of what we do at Pixels, I dream of our favorite orchard.
We have been the official (read: exclusive) photographers allowed to shoot at this site and every year we take children, engaged couples, families, models, whomever out there for spring photos, Easter photos or just gorgeous heirlooms.
While it’s different every year, it’s consistent in how special it is. We hope you’ll consider getting family portraits taken with us this year – even those graduation photos can be taken early and ready for graduation cards. We’ll be posting dates for sessions when it gets a little closer and we know more about the weather and what the orchard will be like. In the meantime, a girl can dream.

Spring Orchard Sessions are booking
A very funny Southern columnist – Lewis Grizzard – once penned, “Springtime is the land awakening.”
I know. Hilarious.
Meanwhile, I mention it because it’s true. We see it every year. We know it’s coming and still we are surprised when the smell of the air changes. Things of potential beauty below the soil stretch out. They crack their knuckles and when the time is right, little buds go to the garage – if you will – take a broom to the cobwebs attached to their 10-speed bicycles and get ready to launch like their lives depended on it. And we live for it because it’s fleeting and spectacular and we had ZERO to do with it. How is it somehow possible to feel simultaneously exhilarated by nature when it makes no reference to us whatsoever?
We have exclusive photography rights to one of the largest and most beautiful orchards in North Carolina and we’ve been capturing photos of children, families, couples and countless others over the years during the spring. It’s a heavenly place. Pink blooms dropping onto green grass, lovely thin tree limbs providing not so much shade as inspiration and lots of places to spread props and take images that will last long after the blooms are gone and the fruit arrives.
One of our favorite spots: an extravagantly beautiful orchard in bloom
Maybe I’m wrong and spring does make reference to us when we remember and cherish it. Maybe our own light and joy are reflected in what we see in places like this, in our beautiful part of the world.
Regardless, we hope you’ll get out in it and we absolutely hope you’ll meet us sometime the week of March 11 – 18th and let us capture you in the spring of 2017. The images will last a lifetime, but you need to schedule now. To book your session, mail@pixelsonpaper.biz.

outdoor orchard portrait sessions
We are blessed to have exclusive access to a favorite orchard where every year, the ground hog comes out of his hole, looks for his shadow and, ……wait, wrong seasonal moment. This is about how Pixels has (yes!) exclusive photography rights to one of the most beautiful orchards in NC. Each year, we photograph generations of families, children, lovely girls in prom gowns, brides, the newly engaged and anyone else in love with spring and light and heirloom photos. We look at the Farmers Almanac, talk to our pals at the orchard, read the tea leaves, say a prayer and then head out. Sort of. But this year will be no different and it’s time to book your orchard session for 2017.
This year we’ll be taking portraits from March 11-18th, but dates will ultimately be determined by the weather and when the trees bloom. I’ll save the riff on climate change and how much I love to sled in the winter and just say that this unexpected warm weather may speed the process. Sessions are limited and only available one week per year and these are the dates we think will be the best. 
COUPLE OF QUICK NOTES:
+ These sessions will last one hour.
+ We will provide you with unlimited images photographed.
+ Your pre-paid $135 fee reserves your session and is NOT refundable.
+ No digital files or prints are included in this session. All finished images will be available for viewing during your PreView Order session. You can purchase prints or digital files of your choice. Prints start at $12.

For this year’s bookings, please contact me at mail@pixelsonpaper.net to make your reservation. We would love to photograph you or a group of those you love in honor of spring, summer, Easter, prom, an upcoming graduation or anniversary or any other important occasion you’re celebrating, including – just because.
