Stop Wondering What to Post. Start With Better Content.
Professional photography, short-form video, and social media content for small businesses that need fresh marketing content—without having to create it themselves.
You know your business needs better content.
Fresh photos for your website.
Professional images for Facebook and Instagram.
Short-form video for Reels.
Behind-the-scenes content that shows the people behind your business.
But you’re busy running your business.
That’s where Pixels On Paper can help.
Introducing the Pixels On Paper Content Day: One session. A month of marketing content. Done.
The Pixels On Paper Content Day is designed specifically for small businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and organizations in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, and the surrounding High Country and Northwest North Carolina area that need professional, useful content for their marketing.
Instead of trying to take photographs whenever you remember—or scrambling to figure out what to post each week—we’ll intentionally create a library of content that represents your business.
I’ll come to your business or another agreed-upon location for a focused 90-minute content session. We’ll photograph your people, products, services, workspace, process, personality, and the details that make your business unique. We’ll also capture short-form vertical video that can be used for social media. Then you’ll have professional content you can use across your marketing.
What Is a Business Content Day?
A business content day is a focused photography and content-creation session designed to give you a collection of images and video you can use throughout your marketing. Rather than booking a traditional portrait session, we’re creating marketing content with a purpose.
Depending on your business, your session may include:
- Business branding photography
- Professional headshots
- Team photographs
- Product photography
- Service photography
- Behind-the-scenes photographs
- Workplace and environmental images
- Lifestyle branding images
- Detail photographs
- Seasonal marketing photographs
- Short-form vertical video
- Social media content
- Website photographs
- Promotional images
The goal is simple: Give your business better things to share.
Why Professional Content Matters for Small Businesses
Your customers are constantly seeing images and videos online. Your website, Facebook page, Instagram account, Google Business Profile, email marketing, advertisements, and other digital platforms all benefit from current, professional, relevant imagery. But your marketing doesn’t have to feel like a constant production. A single intentional content session can give you a collection of photographs and video clips that you can continue using for weeks or months.
Instead of asking:
“What am I supposed to post today?”
you’ll have content ready to work with.
What You Receive
Professional Business Photography – We’ll create photographs that showcase your business—not just generic stock-style images.
That may include your:
People: Show customers who is behind the business.
Products: Create professional images that make your products appealing and useful for marketing.
Services: Show potential customers what you actually do.
Space: Give people a feel for your business before they ever walk through the door.
Process: Behind-the-scenes photographs can help customers understand the work that goes into what you provide.
Personality: Your business is more than a logo. Your personality and story can become part of your marketing.
Short-Form Video Content – Video is an important part of today’s social media marketing.
During your Content Day, we’ll capture short vertical clips that can be used for:
- Facebook Reels
- Instagram Reels
- Stories
- TikTok
- Website content
- Promotional videos
- Behind-the-scenes content
You don’t have to become an influencer.
You don’t have to dance in front of the camera.
And you don’t have to know what to say.
I’ll help you create natural, usable content that fits your business.
Customized Content Ideas
You’ll also receive 10 customized content ideas based on your business and the material we create together.
That can include ideas for:
- Promotional posts
- Educational content
- Product spotlights
- Service explanations
- Team introductions
- Frequently asked questions
- Behind-the-scenes posts
- Seasonal promotions
- Customer engagement
- Calls to action
Because having great photographs is only half the equation. You also need to know how to use them.

Why Choose Pixels On Paper?
Pixels On Paper isn’t simply a photography studio. Photography is one part of what I do. My experience also includes marketing, social media content, graphic design, event planning, event marketing, communications, and nonprofit work. That means I’m thinking about your photographs differently.
I’m not simply asking: “Is this a good picture?”
I’m asking: “How can your business use this?”
Could it become a Facebook post? A Reel? A website banner? An email? A promotional graphic? A service spotlight? A team introduction? A seasonal campaign?
That’s the difference between simply taking photographs and creating marketing content.

Need services? Meet the Creative Behind Pixels On Paper
I’m often asked what I do, and the truth is… it’s hard to fit it all into one title.
I’m a wife, a mom, a home school teacher, a business owner, a nonprofit creator, an Executive Director, a philanthropist, a photographer, a designer, a marketer, a content creator, and an event planner. For more than 20 years, I’ve built a career around one common thread: helping people, businesses, and organizations tell their stories.
Pixels On Paper started with photography—however creativity has always been at the center of everything I do. Over the years, my experience has expanded into branding, graphic design, marketing, content creation, social media management, and event planning.
Before and alongside building my own businesses, I’ve had the opportunity to plan and manage events, trade shows, and marketing initiatives for large corporations around the world. That experience taught me the importance of strategy, organization, attention to detail, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.
Today, I bring that same level of creativity, professionalism, and experience to small businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that need help sharing their message, growing their audience, and making an impact.
Through Pixels On Paper, I help with:
Professional Photography — branding, events, portraits, and storytelling imagery
Graphic Design & Branding — logos, promotional materials, marketing pieces, and visual identity
Content Creation & Social Media Support — creating engaging content that keeps your audience connected and your brand visible
Marketing Services — strategy, campaigns, promotional materials, and creative solutions designed around your goals
Event Planning & Management — creative concepts, organization, promotion, logistics, and execution
Corporate & Community Event Support — bringing experience from large-scale events and trade shows to organizations of all sizes
As a business owner, I understand the challenges of trying to do it all. I know what it’s like to wear many hats, chase big ideas, and pour your heart into making something meaningful. Furthermore, that’s why I love helping others take their vision from an idea to reality.
Whether I’m capturing a once-in-a-lifetime moment, creating a brand that represents who you are, developing content that connects with your audience, promoting an event, or helping bring a project together from start to finish—I love being part of the creative process. Behind every business is a story. Behind every organization is a mission. Behind every event is a vision. My passion is helping bring those stories to life—and helping others do more of what they love by taking some of the creative and marketing work off their plate.
If you’re a business owner who needs help building your brand, creating consistent content, improving your social media presence, designing marketing materials, or planning an event, I’d love to work with you. If your organization has a mission that deserves to be seen, I can help you share it. If you have an idea but need someone with the creativity, experience, and strategy to make it happen, let’s talk.
Hire Pixels On Paper for your next project.
From photography and graphic design to content creation, marketing, and event management, I bring more than two decades of experience, creativity, and attention to detail to every project. Let’s create something that gets noticed, tells your story, and helps your business grow.
Contact me and let’s discuss how Pixels On Paper can help you bring your vision to life.
Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with your memories, your brands, your organizations, your events, and your dreams. I’m excited for what’s ahead and look forward to creating even more together.

Your Brand Deserves More Than a Logo
A successful brand is more than just a logo or a color palette. It is the feeling people have when they interact with your business. It is your message, your visuals, and the story you tell your customers.

Looking back at 2023
We are diving head first into 2024 but not before completing a blog post that recaps the photos of our client’s and friends from 2023. 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. 2023 brought senior portraits, family portraits, newborn photography, photos of children, pet pics, and commercial photography both in our studio and out and about on location. We are inpatient when it comes to figuring out what 2024 will bring and excited about the photographs we will capture and designs we will create
The following are a few of our personal favorite images from some of those we photographed in 2023. Enjoy the view!
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 newborns and families, 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.

MBI – Beech Mountain Public Works Commerical Photographer
When MBI Builders calls, we say, “where do you need us?” We’ve loved taking commercial photos of their work over the past decade and Ryan is our point person on these shoots. They recently asked for Pixels to get images of The Town of Beech Mountain’s Convenience Center, a public works project that MBI completed, and beautifully we might add. Ryan met up with Dustin Serrano, of Serrano Film Co, who made it possible to get some excellent drone footage of the entire facility and buildings as well.
The Convenience Center includes warehouse space, a recycling center, office spaces as well as large garage areas to keep maintenance equipment organized and stored.
There are large wash bays for vehicles and equipment, areas to sort and recycle card board and other materials, roll up dumpsters for easy deployment, and bays for salt that is stored for the winter when roads will need it.
Other projects that we’ve captured for MBI Builders include Lake Norman State Park, a custom home in the Blue Ridge Mountain Club, the Procor Industrial project and many more. Like the others, the work is exceptional for the scale of these projects. Congrats to MBI and the Town of Beech Mountain.
We love graphic design, architectural photography and commercial photography whether logo design, brochure design, head shot photos, architectural photography or product shots. At Pixels On Paper we pride ourselves in listening to a broad range of clients and customizing our photography and graphic design services to meet each individual request. Our skills, styles, and visions come together to be a permanent record that either reflects an identity or delivers a message that speaks to thousands. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your business needs. Email us at mail@pixelsonpaper.net or call 336.990.0080 to learn more, receive a quote or to let us know how we can put our skills to work for you.
