Fall Portraits – Seniors & Family
The new school year means a new crop of seniors and a chance to mark time. We love this season of the year for the change in weather, the fresh start it represents, and the fact that it gives us a chance to capture images of seniors and families.
We recently posted some favorite senior portraits in our last blog and reviewing these reminded us of so many other siblings, families and mere kids we’ve watched move from childhood to young adulthood. It’s a specific period in one’s life and parents always tell us how grateful they are to have professional portraits of their “babies” … just about to embark on the next chapter.
Gage Eldridge Senior Portrait Photos
Setting up a family portrait can feel more work to plan, often because we are all spread out. That said, families find it easier once they simply start a conversation, corral those family members who are hardest to pin down, and set a date. Honestly, it’s a breeze once you decide that it’s important.
The leaves will be turning soon so let’s start scheduling!
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.

Senior Portraits
We know you’re still tending sun burn, tired muscles from outdoor play, and getting sand out of …….. places, if you took a last summer trip over the holiday weekend. Welcome home and time to plan for those of you with high school seniors. It’s time for portraits! If you have a student, student-athlete, an artistic adult in the making, or just a senior with a new fall wardrobe they want to show off, we’re ready to capture a pretty important milestone.
We are scheduling fall senior portraits now. Contact us and let’s begin scouting locations, choosing a theme or style if you have one and making a plan.

Austin’s Senior Photos
Ryan was on point for this senior portrait session with Austin and the proof is in the visible smiles. Ryan makes the guys we capture (think graduations, engagements, … posing!) feel at ease for portrait sessions and once we get them outside, and around people they love, the rest is pretty easy. This was the case with Austin.
Austin wanted to wait for his Army sash to arrive because he wanted to display it proudly, but after it came, Ryan met up with Austin, his girlfriend and his mother at North Wilkes High School to wander and shoot pics. They chatted, loosened up and laughed while Ryan found moments to capture moments.
Ryan shared that Austin would smile when asked, but lit up completely when his girlfriend joined him in front of the camera. Naturally! He clearly adores her, as he does his mom and we are so glad that we have images of them all to mark this time.
Austin will be moving into his new life in the Army in the weeks to come and is excited about the next chapter of his life. We are wishing you all the best, dude! We are all in such a hurry to finish one thing and move on to another. It’s good to take a breath to be in the moment and celebrate.

David’s Starmount High School Senior Photos
David, David, David …….. you were once a boy and I know because I was there. And now, even after a year of pandemic and readjustments, you’re a graduate. What on EARTH?
We were able to capture David Eldridge’s Senior Portraits earlier, where he could show off his All Guy style and love of the outdoors. Finally, after some quarantining, Ryan was able to meet up with this graduate at his former Starmount High School to get great shots of David in his cap and gown. These milestones are so important and when I think about David and his brothers when they were little, I just shake my head that time has run – sprinted! – to this point.
We’ve photographed this family many, many times, including brother Gage’s senior portraits, a family gathering or two, and the earliest years when mom Stacy was wrangling them from all corners of the property. They are the sweetest family.
Congratulations, David! We’re so proud of you!

David’s High School Senior Portrait Photos
David Eldridge (and his lifelong friend and sidekick Bryson) let Ryan hang out with them AND grab David’s senior portraits. David is one of five boys in a family that is generous, rugged, and anchored by their superhero mom – Stacy. In the land of men, she is not just the elder, but the Queen and I’ve admired her for years.
Back to David!! He and Bryson are all man, all about the outdoors and all about farm life and being real. Having Bryson around loosened David up, made him less self-conscious and the pair cracked each other up and were able to relax. (Ryan too had a ball.) In fact, Ryan and I commented that in some of these photos the pair reminded him of a country music duo shooting an album cover… think Tyler Childers or Chris Stapleton. There’s no cynicism with these two, just friendship and a sense that simplicity in all things is best.
There was no second choice for this location of this session – it was going to be outside and on the family farm. Senior portraits are an important milestone and we’ve captured older brother Gage’s portraits a couple of years ago.
We’ve shot images of this family for a decade. The most recent took place with members of both the Eldridge and Wood families, but we started years ago, when the boys really were just that – boys.
Congratulations, David and the class of 2021! We are so proud of you!
