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.

Additionally, Pixels On Paper offers marketing, social media, graphic design, and branding services to help individuals stand out online.
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.
With over 20 years of creative experience, Pixels On Paper understands how important it is for every piece of your marketing to work together—from your website graphics and social media posts to printed materials and promotional designs.
Whether you are starting a new business or refreshing an existing brand, we can help you create a consistent and professional look that represents who you are.
Social Media Management That Builds Connection
Social media is one of the most powerful tools businesses have today, but keeping up with consistent, engaging content can be overwhelming.
Moreover, Pixels On Paper helps businesses reduce social media stress by crafting content that resonates with your audience. From planning posts and designing graphics to creating promotional campaigns, we help you maintain an online presence that feels authentic and professional.
However, effective social media goes beyond posting; it builds relationships, shares your story, and keeps supporters engaged.

Great design catches attention and communicates your message quickly.

Photography That Complements Your Marketing
High-quality images are one of the most important parts of effective marketing. Professional photography helps customers connect with your business and understand what makes you unique.

Our photography experience gives us a unique perspective—we understand lighting, composition, storytelling, and how to create images that are not only beautiful but also purposeful.

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.

MBI Builders – Lake Norman State Park Architectural Photos
There are seasonal campers, hard core orienteering types who are climbing rocks and frozen waterfalls, glampers who want to get out while being conveniently IN, and those who wouldn’t be caught dead in the woods. Most of us just want to get away and, with the spring and summer coming, there are places to retreat that look quite appealing no matter your stripes.
Introducing the upgraded amenities at Lake Norman State Park! Ryan was recently asked to shoot pro images for MBI Builders of this project of theirs. As usual, MBI delivered beautiful work for their clients with solid wood beam construction, and an eye to the end users.
Some details about the project, include:
- These are new cabins in the Family Camp Circle section of the park.
- MBI built around half a dozen 2-room cabins around the site. Each have heat and A/C as well as power and water hookups for RVs.
- These also feature a pad for parking, a picnic table and fire ring.
- MBI also built a large bath house that is a shared facility for all campers, as well as both men’s and women’s sides with restrooms and showers. All are handicap accessible. There is also a family restroom facility with the same amenities.
- There are additional tent sites or car camp sites around for those who prefer to be closer to Mother Earth.
We love commercial projects and have worked with MBI Builders for years. If you would like to know more about Lake Norman State Park’s new upgrades, check out this link.
