Hello Heidi – Newborn baby photos
Jamie and Daniel, Henry, Hannah and Heidi Harrison… THAT is a mouthful. They are now a party of 5. This family is one we have known for a while and loved watching grow. Mom Jamie wanted baby Heidi to have her newborn shoot coordinated with sister Hannah’s portraits, so we did just that with palette and our set up at Pixels’ indoor studio.
Older brother Henry is a natural love bug and, just as he did with his sister Hannah, he could not take his eyes off Heidi. I love seeing this in little kids, especially older brothers. They seem to be preternaturally protective, nurturing and engaged with their younger siblings. Henry is proof.
Watching the children interact just reminded me how quickly families are formed. We photographed Jamie and Daniel’s wedding, their eldest daughter Hannah’s newborn session and the family’s 2019 Christmas portraits. Jamie even provided wedding guidance in one of our Wedding Redux blogs.
Heidi was a perfect angel during the shoot and let each family member snuggle her and pass her around. I never tire of greeting new little humans. I look forward to watching you grow up, Miss Heidi.
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.

Awww, Sweetness……..Baby Faces!
Gearing up for Valentine’s Day has me thinking about the unadulterated cuteness of the babies I’m honored to photograph. For maternity sessions, I am engaged in capturing the excitement and anticipation of the parents. After that, my time with newborns and babies is an embarrassment of riches. Their big eyes looking for friendly faces, if not meaning yet, their crazy cute features from lashes to teeny toes, the expressions they make, the outfits and settings mothers and I concoct, …. it’s all heaven. So here’s to baby faces I love.
If you are expecting or know someone who is, we hope you will contact us or encourage them to. Maternity, newborn, 6 month, one year portraits are my jam, as a photographer and a mom. I would love to meet and work with you to capture those memories and milestones.

Newborn Baby Tibbett Photos
Walker Tibbett deserves The Oscar for his performance as Exceptionally Cute and Perfect Newborn this year. That – or he really is a perfect child when having his photo taken. This little creature smiled when he was asleep and smiled when he was awake. He loved being snuggled and wrapped and could not be easier to fold, handle and photograph.
His parents, Brooke and Joey, have been clients of ours before and bought the one year baby package after we captured their engagement, wedding and mom Brooke’s maternity session. Brooke loves earth tones, and prefers them to “baby” images or cartoons for Walker’s room. Her palette is specific and really pretty and photographing Walker swaddled in blues and greys, creams and camels was as easy as it’s ever been. I loved every.single.second!!
Mom and Dad wanted to let Walker be the star of the show. If you know me at all, though, you know that I encourage parents to be a part of at least one of the shoots we do. Brooke and Joey are such a great couple and new parents deserve some attention too. We’ll see how I do getting them to pose in Walker’s 6 month portraits…

Newborn Baby Gracelynn
Gracelynn is a new citizen of Planet Earth. First time parents Caitlin and Matthew Triplett brought her to our studio, along with first time grandparents – all socially distancing and crying. It’s part of the gig… taking pictures and watching happy tears. Tears are welcome, you guys, I mean it. If there was ever something to celebrate in a time of uncertainty, it’s new life.
This perfect little girl barely slept during the session, and while that can sometimes be an issue with babies who cannot get comfy easily, Gracelynn was just as eager to be cozy and camera-ready as any newborn I’ve ever seen. It didn’t matter what position I put her in, she was “thumbs up” and ready to pose.
A few months ago, I photographed the Triplett’s maternity portrait session. Grandmother Tabitha is a friend of mine and reached out to make that session happen after the family experienced several losses in a short amount of time. Gracelynn is the antidote for that pain and loss, bringing with her hope, light and joy.
These photos are going to hang in both Caitlin and Matthew’s house and Tabitha’s as well. Before we even started the shoot, we discussed wall arrangements, so I was already familiar with the rooms themselves in both houses, what they wanted, their wishes, color palettes and themes.
For Caitlyn, the gallery/collection will be made up of maternity and newborn portraits with 6 month and 1 year portraits to come.
For Grandma Tabitha’s home, we are creating an entire wall made up of images of Gracelynn, Caitlynn and Matthew, and Tabitha’s other child Zach. When we are able, we will take family portraits of everyone together. I am so looking forward to that.
I felt a calling once again during this shoot to do this type of photography. New moms need whispered prayers, encouragement and a reminder that what they are doing is right. I think we forget how anxiety-producing it is to bring home a teeny human who needs absolutely everything. Being a loving and stable presence, even during a few hours for a portrait session, or for a year of sessions, gives me the opportunity to share a little love and support. I’m grateful for this.

Newborn & Baby Portraits | We’re Still Taking Them
We love taking photos of kids, babies and especially newborns, but due to the pandemic, we’ve been making adjustments. One of them is NOT to stop taking photos of kids. We’re keen to mark the big milestones of childhood, including newborns, 1st birthday cake smashes, and new siblings added to existing kiddos.
The difference is that for now – with great weather and restrictions that make us concerned and more responsible than ever – we’re taking advantage of our outdoor portrait garden. If you are interested in family portraits, whether they are of children or of your entire clan, we have the spot and we can meet you at a park, on the parkway or another outdoor venue. Below are some favorites.
Do you have an idea for an outdoor portrait session with your children or a milestone to celebrate? Contact us.
