He’s upset he didn’t take advantage of our referral program.

Any existing client of Pixels who refers us to someone who then books us for a portrait session, will receive their own FREE portrait session that year PLUS $50 in print credits from us. For every additional referral they send us, they will receive yet another $50 print credit. The more you send others who book with us, the more rewards we’re happy to lavish on you.

Rylee Raynor Newborn Photos

This late summer brought a new life to Chris & Jess Raynor. Rylee Kathleen arrived on September 26th. All babies are beautiful – at least the ones we’ve photographed. Rylee is a cutie-pie. We’re long-time pals with her parents, so we got time to hang out, catch up and snuggle her to bits. Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC studio newborn portrait photographers Raynor newborn baby photoPixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC studio newborn portrait photographers Raynor newborn baby photoPixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC studio newborn portrait photographers Raynor newborn baby photoPixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC studio newborn portrait photographers Raynor newborn baby photoPixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC studio newborn portrait photographers Raynor newborn baby photo
We’ve known Chris and Jess through the Charlotte sports industry for a very long time. We photographed their engagement,  their  wedding and were glad that they took us up on our offer for free newborn photos. We offer this to all of our wedding clients.
Rylee was about as perfect during her session as a newborn can be. She knows how to rock the pink and her nursery is filled with mint green, coral, pinks and lavender. Her nursery also contains a large photo from Jess’ wedding bouquet that we photographed years prior. We used that as inspiration for all the backdrops and props. The result is girlie at its best and just so much fun to shoot.

It’s a blessing to see friends you’ve known for so long turn into parents and and instant puddle of mush. Jess, Chris and Miss Rylee Kathleen: we love you. Come visit us often please!

Time to Schedule you Christmas & Holiday In-Home Portraits

As you print out the Butterball turkey hotline number to put on the frig, iron bedding for out-of-town guests (I have a friend who ACTUALLY does this, but she told me she’d kill me if I shared her number), stock the pantry, sharpen your knives, throw out the old bathroom soap, and get everything else pulled together for Thanksgiving, I want to give you a loving tap on the shoulder and remind you that it’s time to be thinking about your holiday portrait session. This year, we’re doing in-home sessions only, because not only do we love doing them, more importantly, YOU GUYS told us you love them too.
We made this decision also because we remember the best things about Christmas happen at home. Here’s a little excerpt I wrote about our reasoning from 2016:

For us, this year has been hectic, challenging and rewarding all at the same time. Through it all I’ve been very reflective and God has been incredibly forthcoming in showing me direction and insight all along the way both in my personal journey and the path of our business. I want all the work we do to be done with intention and relevance.

Nothing is more important during the holidays (or anytime for that matter) than family. When trying to create the concept for this year’s Christmas theme “family” and “home” continued to resonate in my mind. I wanted a way to create a personal experience for each of our clients, so my resolution is to offer in-home Christmas sessions.

I want to capture families gathered around trees with handmade ornaments, trees where all the fragile ornaments are at a height away from little fingers, stockings are personalized and tree toppers are those that have been passed through generations. I’d love to capture children in their Christmas PJs while they show me an ornament they made at school. Children years from now will recognize their surroundings in a photograph. What it looks like is different for every single one of our clients.

The same is true two years later. We want to be in your world during one of the most important holidays and seasons each year.
In-home sessions allow you to be more relaxed while we document the season, your family, playing games, eating and “doing life.” Some families want to dress up and make it more festive, others hang in their pjs. It’s ALL good.
Our prices have not changed since 2016! Give us a call or send us an email and let’s get you and your in-home photo session on the calendar.

Babies and Props – because those photos are just too fun

We love a prop. We love a baby in a hat… a baby holding something they may not even recognize. Parents have that prerogative, you know? Want to put a fake mustache on your newborn – go for it. We are willing accomplices and more than happy to capture it all for posterity.
Want to see some favorites as you may be planning your own newborn or kid photo session? We thought you’d never ask.

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.
