Turning one year old is such a milestone in a child and parent’s life. Its fun to capture child portraits especially during that one year mark. We encourage our clients to bring birthday cakes or birthday cupcakes into the Pixels On Paper portrait studio during this momentous occasion. We will photograph portraits that are traditional and classic and also portraits of them diving into their very first birthday cake all during the same photography session. The expressions we can capture during these moments are absolutely priceless! Just like these of little Kennedy during her First Year portrait session.
Kennedy’s Mom and Dad are both Appalachian State University Alums. How cute is this ASU gingham and smocked dress she wore???
There aren’t many children at this age that aren’t happier without their clothing. Don’t most take them off anyway? You can tell by Kennedy’s smile that she definitely was.

Late last year Pixels On Paper Photography found what is sure to be one of our absolute favorite wedding venues in the NC Mountains in Valle Crucis, NC while photographing a fall wedding located at the Inn at Little Pond Farm. The Inn is a French Country house nestled in a pine grove surrounded by a mountain meadow. Like something you would see straight out of a magazine! The owners Gaye and Frank have thought of everything and created the perfect atmosphere for quaint, intimate, weddings in the NC High Country for locals and for those planning destination weddings in the NC Mountains.
Combine this beautiful location and perfect Fall foliage with the most adorable Bride and Groom and we have the ultimate dream for wedding photographers. Lucy & Glen are each in their 50s and this was the first marriage for both. They desired an intimate, fun experience with immediate family and close friends in the North Carolina mountains during the Fall season for their wedding and one that did not necessarily conform to convention.
The outdoor ceremony was followed by a candle lit reception with a 5 course dinner inside the Inn at Little Pond prepared on-site by a private chef. All the guests sat around one long farm table and enjoyed their meal together and celebrated.
We love this description directly from Lucy that describes the unique details of their wedding: “The perspective of the “perfect wedding” can change over the years. As a 50+ year old couple, we are not just starting out in our adult life. We both have experienced full, single lives. For each of us, that life included traveling to unique parts of the world. Our wedding needed to reflect a special bond and joy between two mature, independent individuals whose single life journeys will now become a shared sojourn.”
As a surprise to Lucy, Glen contacted Pixels On Paper prior to the wedding without Lucy knowing and arranged special music and extra photo time with us after the guests had departed to capture their romantic wedding dance.

We’ve worked in the Charlotte wedding industry with Rachel for many years. When it was her turn to be married and she asked Pixels On Paper to be her and Jeremy’s wedding photographer for their Charlotte wedding we were thrilled and honored that she would choose us. This wedding was one of the most emotionally touching and enthusiastic weddings we’ve photographed.
Rachel and Jeremy’s story is unique in that their love did not only involve each other but also Rachel’s daughter Sophia. A short time after Rachel gave birth to Sophia, Rachel was encouraged by her sister to get back into the dating world. Through EHarmony she met Jeremy. We all know a lot of guys that would freak out at this situation and after the first date never be heard from again. Jeremy is not one of those guys. They got to know each other for about a week, went on one date and cancelled their E-harmony memberships! Sophia joined them for their second date and it was obvious that they were meant to become an incredible little family.
Photographing this wedding was easy. In part because Rachel was the wedding planner for the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte. Lets face it, she had thought of everything and was crazy organized! The main reason it was easy to be their wedding photographer was because the whole day in Charlotte was full of emotion, energy, details and LOVE. We think that even if you don’t personally know this couple you will surely feel the moments we captured in their wedding pictures.
Rachel and Jeremy chose to share a First Look before the wedding ceremony so that they could have a private moment before their wedding and also get as many photographs taken so that they could go to their wedding reception and start celebrating with their wedding guests sooner. We loved photographing this moment between the two of them discreetly from a distance.
The wedding ceremony was located on the roof top rotunda of the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte. Sophia seemed to be celebrating during the ceremony just as much as Rachel and Jeremy. During their vows Jeremy also made a commitment to Sophia and gave her a necklace during the ceremony as a sign of his love to her.
We captured wedding pictures of the couple and their wedding party in and around the Holiday Inn Center City Charlotte, at one of the new center city parks in uptown Charlotte, and along the tracks of the Charlotte Lynx Light Rail which they used as transportation to the wedding reception.
The wedding reception was located just outside of uptown Charlotte at Byron’s Southend. The Michael Catlow Group provided DJ entertainment that had the wedding party and guests celebrating on the dance floor all night.
We wish Rachel, Jeremy and Sophia all the very best that life and marriage has to offer. Remember, our blog loves comments!
