pixels on paper’s amazing clients | 2012 review in photos
We are so very delayed in completing a blog post that recaps the photos of our client’s and friends from 2012. You can’t possibly understand how difficult it is to look back through every photo session from last year and pick favorites. It’s February but it’s also better late than never! We continue to feel incredibly blessed that so many each and every year trust us to photograph and capture the most important memories of their lives. We met some amazing people, felt like a part of so many of these people’s lives, and more often than not were right there along side of them having just as much fun. We gained numerous friendships last year. 2012 brought engagement pics, wedding pictures, senior portraits, family portraits, newborn photography, photos of children, pet pics, and commercial photography. We even added studio portraits for the first time in the history of Pixels On Paper! We are inpatient when it comes to figuring out what 2013 will bring and excited about the photographs we will capture.
The following are our personal favorite images from each of those we photographed in 2012. Enjoy the view!
If you have a special photo project in mind for Pixels On Paper during 2013 you can contact us through the blog or see more of our photos at www.pixelsonpaper.biz.

Pixels on Paper, Waggles Pet Supply & Dog Wash donate pet food, needed items to Wilkes Animal Shelter Partnership results in more than 560 pounds of pet food donated
Pixels on Paper Photography, with the help of its many loyal customers and Waggles Pet Supply & Dog Wash, donated more than 560 pounds of pet food and other pet supply items to the Wilkes Animal Shelter.
The items were collected December 8 and 9 when Pixels on Paper offered free, pet portrait sessions to clients who donated a minimum 15 pound bag of dry pet food to the shelter. During the two-day event, Pixels on Paper scheduled 20 pets (cats and dogs) in its studio, located at 1198 Curtis Bridge Rd., Wilkesboro. Clients from as far away as Charlotte, N.C., participated. In addition to pet food, participants also donated blankets, towels and bleach.
In partnership, Waggles Pet Supply & Dog Wash matched the food donations that were contributed and gave all contributing pet owners a voucher for a free pet toy.
The collected items were delivered by Misty & Ryan Case of Pixels On Paper and Kim Hatfield of Waggles Pet Supply & Dog Wash.

Below are photos of all that participated in Pixels On Paper’s Christmas pet portrait sessions. Without their donations this fundraiser would not have been a success. We’re grateful to have photographed so many adorable pets. Thank you with all our hearts!
It is with great sadness that poor Foster (shown above left with his owners) lost his battle to a long term illness on 1/14/13. We are grateful to have photographed him prior to his passing so that his owner’s will have lasting memories of the enjoyment he brought to their lives.

katy’s bridal photos { a classic traditional bride }
Katy is now married to Josh so we are able to share a wedding photo gallery of her bridal photos here on our blog. Katy is beautiful and incredibly kind-hearted. Despite or maybe in spite of our normally contemporary style she loved our photos but wanted a very traditional, classic and formal bridal portrait. She and her Mom found us an amazing and elegant home of a friend to use as the location for her bridal session. She was adamant about not being a huge fan of the great outdoors which I can totally respect. Hay bails and barn wood in fields of grass are definitely not for every Bride in the NC Mountains contrary to popular belief.
After seeing the areas where I knew I could capture beautiful bride pics on the inside I was drawn outside and challenged to show Katy something she did not expect to like. What she saw was woods and a paved driveway. What I saw, and photographed was a winding path leading to a beautiful Bride in the spotlight of sunlight as the leaves shimmered in golds and greens dancing in the depth around her. This turned out to be the large art print Katy displayed at her wedding.
I love when we can give our clients what they didn’t know they wanted. It’s all in the creation process, and its a part of what sets us apart from the 1000s of people who all have cameras around us. We are creating art.
We will soon be posting a blog of Katy & Josh’s wedding photo gallery with wedding pics. View more Bridal photos on our blog in the “Bridals” category and be sure to view our website at www.pixelsonpaper.biz. If you’re interested in letting us create your own personal art or are interested in our wedding photography please send a message through our contact page or call our Wilkesboro studio at 336.990.0080

teresa + rob { outdoor country wedding } wedding photos
Rob and Teresa’s wedding was an picturesque outdoor setting in Rural VA with rolling hills in the background. There was one amazing wedding photo backdrop after another everywhere we turned. Teresa’s mother had a vision for bringing the indoors outside which set the scene at Falkland Farms in South Boston Virginia for a unique outdoor country wedding. Her attention to detail just put a special touch on everything. She used ideas and things that she knew meant a lot to Rob and Teresa which made it even more personal and special to the Bride and Groom who live in Charlotte.
We hope these wedding photos give you a sneak peek into their love story and their connection to family, friends, and the great outdoors.

maren & gordon {a scottish wedding in huntersville nc}
Maren & Gordon went through incredible hurdles, challenges, and loss during the process of planning their wedding. Due to several unforeseeable reasons at last count their date on our schedule changed 3 times during the course of 15+ months of long distance planning.
Maren & Gordon originally planned to get married in March 2011 in Huntersville, NC, but due to a family illness it wasn’t possible. However, Maren had already quit her job and was planning to move to Scotland to be with Gordon but needed a visa and couldn’t get one without getting married. They decided to have a civil ceremony in Edinburgh Scotland on March 25. Both of their sets of parents and some of our siblings and friends were able to attend.
They then started planning again for the church ceremony / reception to be held in Huntersville, NC on 30 December 2011. Sadly there was a family tragedy and Gordon’s father passed away and they had to cancel the wedding a few weeks before it happened. So, third time’s a charm…they rescheduled for 15 September 2012 and it could not have been better. The weather was incredible…a perfect September day in North Carolina with blue skies, warm, but little humidity. The ceremony itself was very traditional and they were able to incorporate elements of both Southern charm and Scottish culture into the event including a bag piper, ceilidh band, huge wrap around southern porch with porch swing, large oak trees, etc.
Family and friends from all over the world who had never met before came together to celebrate. We were given the most incredible opportunity, to photograph it all. We hope Gordon and Maren can enjoy much less craziness in the coming years than they have experienced in the past two.
We offer up this Scottish Wedding Blessing to them and their marriage:
Help Us Remember
Lord help us to remember when
We first met and the strong
love that grew between us.
To work that love into
practical things so that nothing
can divide us.
We ask for words both kind
and loving and hearts always
ready to ask forgiveness
as well as to forgive.
Dear Lord, we put our
marriage into your hands.
