Our Merlefest 2018 – Part 1
You know there is a through line – a connective line that runs through your story – when you can link times of the year and events as if looking back at a journal from childhood or college or even a few years ago. Like the seasons bring the exciting and inevitable, Spring for us brings Merlefest. It is an example of that through line for us. We have been official photographers for Merlefest since 2015, making this our 4th year and since our first venture, we’ve had so much other life, including the addition of a child.
For 2018, it was a reclamation and revisiting and – poetry aside – a crap-ton of work – and this time, Finley was with us. We found ourselves again, remembering what we love as event photographers and serious music-lovers. Below is just a selection of some of our favorites!! Stand by for more in a couple of days!

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, engagements and weddings, brides, and 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.

music, memories, & the magic of merlefest ……..
We joined the Merlefest brigade of official photographers in 2015 and as our 4th year approaches and we prepare for our badges to arrive and the admin stuff to cross our desks, we’re getting jazzed. I just wrote about dreaming of spring and the orchard we love. This feels the same to me. There’s heat and sweat – the layers come off as the spring air evaporates the dew, lawn chairs are set in rows, the stages are literally set and the throngs arrive to listen to the very best in blue grass and Americana. We love Merlefest.
