Pixels On Paper will be photographing outdoor Christmas Mini Portrait sessions this year. Who’s in?
It’s the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR, even if 2020 has been, well……. and we’re all a bit disoriented. Find some normalcy by getting in the spirit for Christmas with a portrait session.
WHEN: Saturday, December 12th.
WHERE: We’ve created a Christmas themed backdrop in our outdoor portrait garden.
HOW: We will of course be following all CDC and local protocols with regard to safe distancing during the entirety of the session. We will wear masks, and shoot all images outside. If you have special requests in terms of safety, please let us know.
WHAT: Contact Pixels On Paper to reserve your session and see pricing at the end of the blog.
We have a large backdrop, fully loaded with seasonal decor, plenty of props that will be wiped down between sessions, and even a small (and cute, if I may say so) station for images of your little elves.
Our son Finley got a kick out of it and he lives here, so our hope is that you will make a plan to schedule your session with us as soon as possible. It’s one day only, December 12th!
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.

This is not a first and it certainly isn’t a first with this gorgeous family. In 2016, we visited the Holland family at their home to shoot Christmas holiday portraits and we were delighted to return this year to repeat the fun.
It was wonderful to see parents Kevin and Tram and their three children, Colton, Ava and Sophia. Relaxing and decorating the tree were an easy part of the day. Their home is lovely and we always enjoy this slice of life, documentary style of photo session.
Not only are the kids continuing to grow before our very eyes, the family has added a new puppy to the mix. Seriously? The only thing that can improve upon the beautiful setting, the season and the family is the addition of a little snuggle-bun in the form of a Jack Russell.
Merry Christmas to EVERYONE out there! Ryan and I wish you nothing but joy, health and peace this season.

The Harrison family – Jamie, Daniel, Henry and Hannah – have been in our lives since 2014. We photographed their wedding in 2015 and watched as their family grew. To say that we adored having them in our studio is an understatement. They were such fun and so easy to be around. It’s amazing to see their kids when I look back at images of them as newlyweds. One minute, you’re capturing a veiled bridal portrait and the next, you’re snuggling their children onto our holiday bench.
In 2017, we captured Hannah’s very first professional portraits. She has only gotten more yummy and cute.
The Scott’s are long time pals of ours too. Parents Julie and Jamie and kids Cameron and Courtney have been in front of our lens several times. I grew up with Julie and her sister Jenny was my best friend in childhood. I’ve known them for such a long time. It fun in between shots to crack up and catch up with their lives.
Now that the kids are growing up, we love seeing them all together for their holiday portraits. Before long, Cameron and Courtney will be off living lives of their own.

This Christmas season, we’ve seen a steady stream of revelers in colorful clothing darken our doors and insist on having their portraits taken. We sigh, roll our eyes and then do that thing where we wave ’em in and accommodate their requests. It’s fine. Whatever….
Honestly, the 2019 studio Christmas portrait season has been the blast that it always is, and today we’re showcasing two little elves who escaped their spots on shelves and slid in with the wind before we shut our doors.
Meet little Penelope and Flynn. They are not related, except by the bonds of cuteness.
Both Flynn and Penelope changed the wattage in our studio and brought a surplus of high (read: HIGH!) energy to the mix. But they were both a little camera shy for Ryan. This is another big advantage of having two photographers available at Pixels: when the energy calls for a change, we can make it. When a child or children respond better to one gender over another – no problem. Neither Ryan nor I takes it personally. We’re pros and we’re parents. We get it. I took over and with a little persuading, dancing, and singing, we found our groove.
Merry Christmas, Little Elves out there! Stay Nice! You-Know-Who is watching!

It is beyond rewarding to decorate your studio, tell everyone you’re ready and have the phone start ringing. And it kept ringing. Every time we opened our doors, there were faces we love grinning back at us.
Here is a selection from two families we snapped recently: the Bynums and the Bells! We love you all!
Two words for the faces below: teeny elves.
Here’s two more: stinking cute.
The Bells are the sweetest couple and we love that they want to have portraits taken as a young duo. [Heads up, people out there who would love holiday portraits: if you want images taken with your pets, best friends, favorite next door neighbors, college roommates, nutty cousins or coworkers – we do not require that you show DNA matches. We don’t care AT ALL! Just show up and we’ll create a Christmas memory for you.]
I look at the images from both shoots and see perfect Christmas cards, frameable images and great gifts. All these folks did was pick out a festive outfit and show up. The rest was a cool holiday breeze.
