October Anniversaries ~ all the best to these couples
Kristen and Jason Lavender, 6 years October 1st
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.” – St. Augustine
Augustine was a smart man. He was a saint, a Christian, a philosopher and a studier of men and their relationship to each other and to God. I like this quote, because while it can apply to every single person who loves well, in a marriage, it describes what bride and groom, husband and wife, father and mother will need to keep the family together: hands and feet ready to help and carry, eyes to see both pain and joy, ears to listen to stories that are exhilarating or boring (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about) and a big heart that wants to jump in no matter what. And it’s just a start. Happy Anniversary to the couples who married in October – all of you – and most especially to the ones we’ve photographed over the years. We love you. Keep celebrating and showing each other what love looks like.

Gage Eldridge Senior Portraits | Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers
It’s nice to be part of a pack and the Eldridge boys are that. We’ve photographed them, along with their Mom, Stacy several times over the last decade. You get out your camera and you’re shoulder-deep in testosterone, conversations about hunting, being outside, riding dirt bikes and growing up on a family farm.
Gage Eldridge is a senior in high school this year, and like most guys in his late teens, he isn’t a fan of having his picture taken. What he is willing to do is bow to his Mom’s wishes. GOOD MAN.
Pixels has an ace up our sleeve when it comes to photographs of uncomfortable men, uncomfortable young men, boys who need to laugh and feel like they aren’t being hammered underneath the gaze of some critical eye. I’ll end the suspense and tell you that it’s Ryan. There were no girls allowed, no frills, no extra nonsense and mussing. It was just a couple of guys hanging out on a farm, having guy talk and taking photos in between. It’s the most comfortable environment and makes for the most natural portraits. 
Gage has practically grown up working, hunting and riding dirt bikes on this family farm in Hamptonville NC so it only seemed appropriate that it be the location for his senior portraits. Don’t be fooled thinking this guy is all farm boy. Check out his favorite floral print shirt! Enjoy your Senior year, Gage.

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.

Reminder: outdoor autumn family, engagement & children’s portraits booking now in the NC mountains
Dear Ones,
We are still taking appointments for a limited number of portraits in the great outdoors for fall, so this is sort of a Last Call. Baby Case is on his way, so we’ve kept the appointments to a limited number, but we want to serve as many people as possible.
These sessions will take place in Boone, Blowing Rock, Jefferson or Wilkesboro to keep this pregnant Mama close to home. Sessions are open from September 30th – through the second week of October or until Little Man arrives.
We anticipate the color change in the NC mountains to be earlier this year due to the lack of rain and fact that we’ve already seen some color change and leaves falling. We encourage those wanting photos to reserve their session as soon as possible. Session fees start at $150 and are due at the time of reservation. Call 336-990-0080 or email mail@pixelsonpaper.net for more info or to reserve your session. There are spots available still, so contact us as soon as possible and we’ll get you on our schedule.

Orozco Christian Crafts – commercial product photography for a wedding client with a great business
One of the joys – and believe me there are many – of being a photographer is seeing something happen with a client that you had no idea about. Do you follow? Sometimes, you’re taking family photos of a couple with their first child and discover later that the second is on the way. Or a family has gathered at a reunion and later, when a beloved member has passed, we all realize that the photos were the last. Time moves.
This is not that story though. This is business and a wonderful one at that. We photographed Ashley and Oscar’s wedding last year and fell in love with them and their story. Now, Ashley has created Orozco’s Christian Craft Shop and you can find them and Ashley’s amazing specialty work on Facebook.
Contact us if you or your business has a commercial photography or graphic design need. We would be happy to help. www.pixelsonpaper.net
