Time for Prom Photos!

The more spring I can smell in the air, the more my mind goes to spring events and the season that brings us Easter, flowering trees, voracious house cleaning, veggie planting and, of course, PROM.

Students at Wilkes County schools are buying their gowns, renting their tuxes, making dinner and limo reservations, so the planning is already well underway. You WILL need photos and Pixels on Paper has nearly two decades of prom portraiture experience. We’re ready if you are.

Our outdoor portrait garden is a perfect place to take prom photos of you ladies in your gowns, with your dates or best friends, or to get images perfect for social media of your entire high school clan. When possible, we can also shoot images in our favorite orchard or on location if you have something special in mind.

As you make the other plans for your prom weekend, call us to book your photo session. If you have a stylized shoot or theme in mind, we’re in! Invite your pals and let us capture a milestone event that only happens a couple of times in your life!


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 weddingsbrides, 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.

Amber’s prom in sizzling red

So, this is Amber Souther, a Junior at West Wilkes High School and for prom season, we photographed her and her date in our outdoor portrait garden a couple weekends ago. A few years ago, we photographed Amber’s sister Laura, who is equally gorgeous. It’s prom season and the gowns in the 21st century are incredibly elegant, original and unique.
Amber’s gown got me thinking: women, even young women, in red is a pretty striking thing. Red is known as the color of power, the color of hearts, Valentines and love. It’s also the signifier of danger, daring and certainly glamour. This child PULLED IT OFF. She looks amazing.

Prom Portraits – just around the corner

Spring rain and recent warmer temps have given us all a raging case of The Yips.
The Yips – loosely defined – are a specific kind of excitement that comes from anticipation. Horses behind the gate at The Kentucky Derby have The Yips. You with me?
Spring for us means orchard photos, engagement portraits, our garden going crazy [we hope] and PROM SEASON. We know that girls and guys are thinking of who to ask and may have already chosen a theme, a color, a dress or some fun way to celebrate with friends on what is a favorite high school event and milestone.

commercial prom portraits for Bridal Traditions

Recently we were hired by good friend and fellow wedding aficionado, Kelly of BeYOUtiful Prom Boutique at Bridal Traditions to take some commercial fashion photos for her. We go way back with Kelly and with her amazing business, so we were jazzed to jump in and do our part to help her as she prepares her marketing materials for 2018’s prom season. We photographed model and real junior-prom attendee Stacie Shumate in her actual prom gown purchased from BeYOUtiful Prom. The fashion shoot took place in our outdoor portrait garden at the Pixels’ studio in Wilkesboro. We photographed Stacie’s portraits just three short years ago in the peach orchards and can’t believe how much she has changed in such a short time. It was a pleasure and a treat! Thanks for letting us be a part of your business and life and for letting us watch you grow Stacie.Stacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoWe 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.
