Class of 2020 Senior Portrait Photos
Yes, we’re in the middle of a pandemic. No, that does not at all diminish what you’ve accomplished. Graduation dates are approaching and we’ve got seniors on the brain.
While we know that high school and college seniors are basically either on pins and needles about their graduation ceremonies or they are now gearing up for something a little different than perhaps they wanted, we’re here to help.
These milestones are still big deals in your life and we want you to be able to get dressed up and have portraits taken that will memorialize your accomplishments.
While Pixels is strictly following all protocols laid out by the CDC and other government agencies, we do have an open air outdoor portrait garden that is glorious and ready for senior portrait sessions.
As the weeks and months unfold, we hope that we will be able to schedule individual shoots with no physical contact. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in discussing a plan to capture your senior milestone portraits. We’re here.
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.

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.

Senior Year Portraits – Autumn
Autumn is the perfect time to take portraits of your senior year students in high school. While prom season and the late spring are also popular for these portraits, the cool weather and new warm back to school clothes entice families to book sessions that can happen outdoors. It’s the final year and great expectations lie ahead, so why not a fall session?
We can shoot senior year portraits any time you like, but have scheduled shoots for spring and fall more often than other times of year. The photos above are of 3 siblings during their senior years. Their mom made it a priority and has thanked us many times for capturing photos of her “babies” – now grown!
Setting the stage is fun and – no surprise – seniors have personalities and opinions, so whether it’s on the Blue Ridge Parkway, in the woods, on the ball field where they played their favorite sport, in someone’s backyard, at our studio or another special spot – we can accommodate the vision. And clearly, dress code should be what expresses who they are as they venture forth after graduation.

Senior Portraits – Part II
Senior portrait season isn’t too far away and while you’re getting the last use out of the Slip n Slide and charcoal grill, your rising seniors in high school may not be too excited about college applications and their last year classes, but BELIEVE YOU ME, they are excited about being seniors. We all remember it and it’s high energy, high adrenaline excitement, anticipation and fun.
Senior portraits can be buttoned up or casual, zany, elegant, include props, cars, costume changes, a cap and gown – or not – and be taken anywhere you like.
Here are a few more of our favorites.
Planning an outdoor senior portrait session is a win, if the weather behaves. These photos will not only mark a milestone, but can be used as gifts for grandparents, used in your announcement cards, or just become heirlooms. Wear your cap and gown if you have it or just choose your favorite outfits. We’ll handle the poses, help you choose places and if you prefer black and white to color – no problem. These are for you and about you!
You can see more of Paiton, Tiffany and Katie’s senior portraits or visit the Senior section of our blog to see them all. Don’t forget to schedule your session and call us for ideas if you need help.
