Why Choose Wilkes’s Peach Orchards?

The peach orchards in the Brushy Mountains of Wilkes are renowned for their breathtaking scenery, especially during the narrow window of time in spring when the trees are in full bloom. The soft pink and white blossoms create a dreamy atmosphere, perfect for portraits that capture the essence of new beginnings. The gentle rolling hills and rows of blossoming trees provide a natural beauty to every photo.

Not only is the location stunning, but the peace and calm of the orchards create a relaxed atmosphere for photo sessions. Whether you’re celebrating an important milestone or simply creating memories with loved ones, these orchards offer a backdrop that makes every moment feel special.

Ideal for All Types of Photography Sessions

Spring peach orchard portraits are incredibly versatile for any type of photo session. The beauty of the setting makes it a perfect place for:

  • Family Portraits: Whether it’s a family reunion, a spring tradition, or just a chance to gather everyone for a professional photo, the orchards create an enchanting backdrop.
  • Engagement Photos: There’s something magical about the soft peach blossoms that set the perfect romantic tone for engagement photos. Capture the excitement of your new chapter in this natural setting.
  • Senior Portraits: High school seniors can embrace their milestone moment by posing against the delicate peach blooms, making their portraits truly stand out with a one-of-a-kind touch.
  • Seasonal Updates: If it’s been a while since your last professional photo session, there’s no better time to update your family or personal head shot photo. The vibrant spring setting makes it the ideal time to capture the moment.

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.

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.
