ashleigh’s nc moutain bridal portraits | fireman’s bride
Ashleigh is now Mrs. McGlamery and we can proudly show off her bridal portraits for all to see. Much thanks go to the great folks at Jefferson Landing for allowing us full access to the entire Golf resort for the first phase of Asheligh’s bridal photos. If you are looking for a beautiful location in the NC Mountains to host your wedding celebration we suggest checking them out.
The second phase involved the crew at Mulberry-Fairplains Fire Department, where Philip, Ashleigh’s now husband, is a dedicated volunteer fireman and spends a great deal of his time. This sexy and playful portrait location was a special surprise for our Groom and photographed specifically with him in mind. Thanks to the crew for keeping our little secret and for giving us free reign to play with any of their “big toys”. Fire Engine 2601 made the perfect prop for our beautiful Bride.

brianna’s high school senior pics | north wilkes high school
Photographing high school seniors is so much fun especially when they are excited to have a portrait session that is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced and so different from those their classmates are having made. Pixels On Paper is focused on creating a fun and unique photography experience for all of our Senior Sessions. We are bringing an original style and quality to Senior photos that Wilkes and some of the surrounding NC Mountain areas have never experienced or had access to in the past. Why should all these awesome and energetic young people settle for just another boring senior photo shot by a high school appointed photog in front of a dull backdrop? We don’t think they should which is why we’re offering an alternative. If you are or you have a rising High School Senior call us now to schedule a Senior Portrait Session. The ideal session time for the Class of 2013 begins in June. We are looking for reps from each of the surrounding high schools that are enthusiastic about sharing their experience with their classmates.
Brianna contacted us a short time ago eager to schedule her senior session even though she was only a few weeks from graduating. She wanted Senior Pics that would stand out from everyone else and since we had photographed her in January as one of our 2012 Prom Models she knew exactly what kind of photos we would deliver. Not only did she want unique portraits, she wanted us to use those photos to create a graduation announcement that she would be mailing to family and friends, an alternative to those offered by the High School.
For Brianna we designed a 5×7 Graduation Announcement Card. Here is a look at the front of the card.
And a look at the back of the Graduation Announcement card.
It’s hard to believe that Brianna is only a High School Senior when you see her. This girl is gorgeous in and out and aspires to be model and fashion designer. She is artistic, creative, beautiful, humble and a little shy when she is the center of attention. She is the class of 2012 and represents North Wilkes High School. We wish her all the best in everything she does.
Leave Brianna and us some LOVE on our blog. Our blog loves comments!

bailey and phillip’s charlotte wedding
Fortunately for us another one of our awesome wedding couples, Erin & Brad spoke very highly of us in regards to their own wedding photos and referred Bailey our way nearly a year ago. Every minute spent with Bailey and Phillip since our first consult has felt like time spent with old friends. We’ve laughed together, teased one another, and even bonded over Bongo their dog during engagement portraits, bridal portraits, and the wedding day. I’m pretty sure we were looking forward to their wedding almost as much as they were and were anxious to see all the details finally come together. Not only did Bailey and Phillip treat us like old friends but even Bailey’s parents made us feel like part of the family. To be so well taken care of and attended to throughout the 12+ hour day is by no means necessary or the norm. But it sure does make us feel appreciated and grateful to be a part of such a significant moment in the families lives.
These two are crazy in love and are perfectly made for one another. In all their fun wackiness they perfectly compliment each other. Beyond a doubt we know they are going to be happy for the rest of their lives and are sure to make everyone around them happy too. Congratulations Bailey & Phillip!
Enjoy these wedding photos which represent the irreplaceable moments and memories we were privileged to capture. And be sure to leave some LOVE for this happy couple. Our blog loves comments!

bridal traditions logo design | graphic design by pixels on paper
Another aspect of Pixels on Paper that we don’t often post about here, is our award-winning graphic design services. Before branching out into photography we both worked in the corporate world in marketing fields as graphic designers and have college degrees in graphic design. We absolutely love the opportunity to create new image branding or help to rebrand an existing company or even create the entire branding package for a start up company large or small.
Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom Attire is not a new business and is not new to working with Pixels On Paper. We have worked with Bridal Traditions in terms of photography during the All About Prom promotion, the Wilkes Wedding Expo, through the Wilkes Bridal Association, as well as photographing weddings for many of Bridal Traditions clients but never with graphic design. When boutique owner, Kelly, asked us to come up with a logo to replace her existing mark, our creative energy began to flow and we drew upon our previous experience in working together.
We pride ourselves in truly listening to what it is that our graphic design clients need and grasp a complete understanding of their business so that we can present the best possible options. Kelly was ready for Bridal Traditions’s to have a complete logo overhaul. She wanted not only a new logo but also an image that would convey to her clients the type of service she provides and the atmosphere they can expect to find when visiting her store. The new logo will eventually encompass her entire branding image including all printed materials, website, advertisements, Social Media, and even serve as the color inspiration inside the boutique. We presented her with several options and then honed in on the final creative design. We are proud to show you the final result which included three different versions of the same logo that can be used in many different formats.
Thanks to Kelly at Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom Attire for allowing us to push ourselves creatively on a new branding challenge. If you, or someone you know, needs help with image branding or has graphic design needs please let us know how we can help! We specialize in not only logo design but also the layout and design of various printed marketing material and promotional needs. Visit our graphic design website at www.graphics.pixelsonpaper.biz to see samples of our work.

kayla’s senior photos | nc mountains portrait photographer
Recently, we had the privilege of capturing Kayla’s Senior photos. Next fall, she will head off to UNC-Wilmington for her first semester at college. She and her family drove up from east of Charlotte NC for a fun-filled day of senior pics and family portraits with Pixels On Paper in and around Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro in the NC mountains. We set out on what was close to a full day of traveling between locations that allowed us the freedom to get as creative as possible, all while making sure that we had time for fun and laughs. Kayla’s mom, Kim, and Ryan have long had a friendship that borders on the insane, with constant jokes and teasing, the day of the session was no exception. Even down to pranks via text messages the night before that had him totally confused. (and Kim would say “but that’s easy to do…”)
We chose locations that would capture Kayla’s personality and let her amazing spirit show. From urban to rustic to natural portrait backdrops Kayla rocked our portrait session from start to finish. At one location Kayla’s Dad, Sonny put on his Army uniform to be in some of the photos with her. You could see the pride in both their eyes as they stood next to one another. We were even privileged to be asked to recreate a photo from one of his early returns from deployment when Kayla was just a child. The time we spent and the images we captured make it obvious to us that Kayla gets her compassion for others from her parents.
We have known the family for several years and share a strong passion for hockey, and love of all things Charlotte Checkers. We encourage our Seniors to bring props of their choosing so Kayla brought along one of her favorite Checkers jersey and a hockey stick that we put to good use in what would later resemble an igloo setting.
We are so grateful for the trust that the family put in us to capture Kayla’s personality. She is so kind and has a heart that cares so much for others, with a sarcastic wit that should make her mother proud. Her future is bright and we wish her all the success life has to offer.
Congratulations to the class of 2012 and to Kayla we wish you the absolute best at everything you do!
