Outdoor Portrait Season is Here

Portrait session locations are chosen and scheduled based on the clients wishes, of course, except for those occasions when we’re asked to make suggestions or create specific looks. With the temps rising a bit, and the rain making everything so lush and gorgeous, we’re getting calls from families with reunions planned, newly engaged couples, parents with new babies and even best friends who meet annually to celebrate their friendship.

There are so many perfect spots in North and South Carolina from which to choose that we are excited for this season of outdoor portraits on location and with people – AND PETS – you love.

It’s amazing what a place you love – like your alma mater, your favorite park, a tourist area downtown or in the woods – adds to photos that will someday be more than memories: they will be cherished markers of history.


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.

Summer 2016 ~ or some of it

This summer, Ryan and I are working, of course. But we’re also “having a summer” and so far it has been filled with some travel, 2 birthdays, a storm that sent tree limbs through the roof of our 100+ year old house and watching our small but mighty (MIGHTY, I SAY) garden yield glorious veggies. Here are some highlights (and lowlights). We love you guys. Hope your summers are safe and fun and plentiful, as well.

North Carolina (both the piedmont and mountains) have seen daily thunderstorms in the afternoons and evenings for days on end and often with the fanfare of thunder and lightening as well. I love what rain does to our garden, but the more harsh storms in Wilkes County have been doozies. One in particular, in early July hit the Pixels homestead. Our neighbors were without power and sustained lots of damage. I thank God for a sturdy husband, no loss of power, crews ready to come in and no personal injuries. It could have been worse, but it wasn’t.

Of course, we’ve been wandering and spending time with friends as well.

Our lovebug – Chelsea, a Southern girl hanging out on the porch during my birthday and while we were shooting an engagement portrait session in Charleston.

We love to travel all over the states, but southern summers are pretty wonderful. We’re grateful for each other, for our family, friends and clients, for getting to do what we love and for 4 seasons and all they bring with them. Autumn is still “a ways off,” so we’re going to stay in the good company of summer for now.
