Marion Is One – First Birthday portraits
If you think this little be-pearled girl is adorable, scroll down. She and her brother are stinkers!! (That’s a compliment, by the way.) They are delicious and you can tell that they are going to be thick as thieves as they grow up. Hint: tongues out = laughter.
But first – meet newly minted one year old, Marion.
For Marion’s first birthday, we want classic old school. First birthday cake smash images are fun, but I have to say, I stand and applaud working moms when they share that they cannot do it all. They cannot create magic every day out of thin air, including a homemade or store bought picture-perfect unicorn cake and Pinterest-worthy birthday party. We love our kids and we’re busy, and guilt helps exactly no one. Sweet Marion’s amazing mom wanted professional portraits but had little time to plan a theme. I had all the goods to help.
Marion in pearls, pink and a tulle tutu absolutely shined during her session. And while Pinterest boards are great, it was easy for me to set up something simple, elegant and pretty.
NOTE: I have outfits and props for babies and toddlers, you Moms out there! If you don’t come with a trunk of stuff, you aren’t failing. I’ve got your back.
Below, enter big brother Connor who is clearly a very serious type. These two….. big fun or big trouble, maybe both. Marion and Connor – come back to visit us again soon please. We loved the laughter in our studio that day!
Want to see more? Here are the family’s portraits and Marion’s newborn session, as well as Mom’s maternity shoot.
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.

Roman Pierce is Six Months | Baby Studio Portraits
“Roman is ‘pure joy and his smile will light up a room.'” Thus saith the mother of three boys. So either he’s pretty delicious or she has become inured to any type of baby behavior that isn’t precious. I’m guessing that it’s the former.
Traci Pierce admits that her third little man is her most mild-mannered, even keeled, and easiest baby. As the photographer of all her sons’ newborn, 6-month and first birthday portraits, I think it’s safe to say that she may have one of each kind of boy. All different and all yummy little individuals.
Traci went with the all white dress code and theme – a choice that is elegant, much like Traci herself. We kept it simple, fun and easy. What mother of three needs extra tasks? You’re right, sweet reader…. NONE!
Older brothers Holden (4 years) and Sawyer (3 years) had basically the same palette for their photo sessions back in the day. The similarities in their faces is uncanny, so I encourage you to check out those blogs featuring them.
The little video packages we create are such a fun way for parents to share the photos from our session with family, keep for posterity, watch and re-watch, and of course use later as bribes.
Roman: you have a cool name, like your brothers’ names. You are already a classic. And like them, you have a sweet face, and some pretty awesome parents. Go get ’em, young man! We love you.

Leo Orozco newborn photos
“Babies smile in their sleep because they’re listening to the whispering of angels.” – Author unknown
This little angel is Leo Orozco and we had the pleasure of not only photographing his parents – Ashley and Oscar – for their engagement and wedding portraits – but his first portraits just about a week after he was born in April.
And yes, he is feeling his developing bicep.
“His little hands stole my heart,
his little feet ran away with it.” – Joshua Riley
It’s going to be so much fun watching this multi-cultural little man grow up surrounded by his loving family and the strong community within their church.

A Brand New Girl | Newborn Pictures of Penelope Jo
Penelope Jo was born February 28th at 4lb 12oz – a miniature gift and one month early. While small enough to put in your pocket on the way to grab lunch, she was completely healthy and discharged before her mom. I KNOW. “Look out, people!! I’ve got stuff TO DO!!” At only 8 days, Whitney and Preston brought this little jewel to our studio for their first ever photo shoot as a family of three. She took my breath away. How can something so teeny pull your heart out of your chest? But she did and I was only the latest. Her parents and grandparents are doing all they can do not to gobble her up.
We photographed Whitney and Preston’s engagement and wedding and watching them gush over Penelope Jo was incredibly sweet. She may be the smallest newborn I’ve photographed – both adorable and beyond cooperative. In fact she was so good that I didn’t want to stop photographing her as she slept peacefully. No matter what props or positions we put her in, she would bend like a reed and as cutely as possible. 
I have no interest in wishing this little girl’s life to fly by – especially with that little tutu and headband – but I’m anxious to see her and photograph her often and watch her grow up. So much satin and sweet, so much cool and composed. She’s a little dream.
