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.
Local Business Content Creation in Wilkesboro & Northwest North Carolina
Pixels On Paper is based in Wilkes County, North Carolina, and serves businesses and organizations throughout the area.
If you’re a small business owner in Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, Boone, Jefferson, Mount Airy, Elkin, or the surrounding Northwest North Carolina and High Country region, a Content Day can give you a professional library of images and video to use in your marketing.
On-location sessions make it possible to create content where your business actually happens.
And when a studio setting makes more sense, Pixels On Paper also has a professional photography studio available for branding and business photography.

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.

Baby’s First Year Photography Packages
We recently reminded you fine people out there about our Referral Program, and Pixels clients should take advantage of it! But now is also a great time to remind those of you who are thinking about starting a family, newly engaged or just married. We have a package created just for you that nearly all of our maternity or new parents avail themselves of: the One Year Baby Package. I chose a beloved family for whom we captured maternity, newborn, 6 month and finally the first birthday of their adorable daughter.
Our package covers newborn portraits, a 6-month portrait session and then a One Year Birthday session. Maternity portraits can be added if you desire. Even if Pixels did not photograph your engagement shots, your wedding or any other portraits, you can still take advantage of this package. Parents tell us over and over again how grateful they are that they made this a priority. These images make not only great memories and heirlooms, but baby and family portraits are perfect gifts for grandparents or relatives. Often clients create canvases for their children’s bedrooms or for the family wall of images. Ryan and I will even create and install these.
I’m sharing two blogs with more details about why I’m passionate about covering a baby’s first year, and even more details about what each session captures. Give me a call and let’s start planning.
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.

It Pays to Refer
Did you know that showing gratitude causes a release of dopamine – a trigger of the neural circuitry in our brain stems – and makes us feel good? It does. So let me just send myself a shot by saying THANK YOU to all of our clients these nearly 20 years. WE LOVE YOU. One of the ways we show our gratitude year round is our Referral Program. So if you are, or have you ever been, a Pixels on Paper photography client, listen up!
Any existing client of Pixels (you’ve hired us for a wedding or portrait session of one type or another) who refers us to someone who then books us for a wedding, will receive their own FREE portrait session PLUS $250 in print credits from us.
Any existing client of Pixels who refers us to someone who then books us for a portrait session, will receive their own FREE portrait session that year PLUS $50 in print credits from us. For every additional referral they send us, they will receive yet another $50 print credit. The more you send others who book with us, the more rewards we’re happy to lavish on you.
We want our existing clients to make sure to tell the folks they are referring to us to mention them, so MENTION THE REFERRING CLIENT’S NAME, so that they get the rewards they deserve. If someone books a wedding or portrait and doesn’t mention that they heard about us from you, how will we be able to shower you with some love? Don’t you want everyone to experience the dopamine rush of happiness?
*This program offer EXCLUDES limited edition and promo session referrals. Contact us if you have questions!

Pixels on Paper – An Intro
“Please allow me to introduce myself.” A great Rolling Stones song begins that way and I’m running with it. The doldrums of January and February need tweaking into shape.
The more I watch the world shift and watch social media bind us together (and tear us apart ….), I see how some of us are working to find each other – maybe even find each other again – through simple introductions. Introductions are a beautiful thing. So consider this a brief online How Do You Do.
For those of you who may not know, there we are – on our wedding day in fact, August 2, 2003. Ryan Case is my husband, my best friend, my houseman, my baby-daddy, my darling, my co-conspirator and the man I run this business with. Pixels was born of shared interests and talents and a desire to work for myself. Want to know a little more about what fuels us? Here you go!
Ryan is a fabulous and skilled photographer, graphic designer and work horse. Great with tools, remodeling our century old house, and not at all shabby in the kitchen, he’s a keeper. I am a photographer, book lover, soft touch, explorer of moods and lighting, gardener, and always down for a newborn baby portrait session, and a nap (in no particular order). I believe in prayer and outdoor concerts.
Together, we are Pixels on Paper Photography and Graphic Design and have been since 2005. We love to work and play, travel and camp. We celebrate creativity, sound and music (c’mon MERLEFEST!!), families and their specific milestones and we are dedicated to being a part of our community.
In 2015, we threw a big 10th Anniversary Party with friends and family, something that we were unable to do in 2020 for our 15th. But we’ve been so pleased that over the last 15 years, our business has grown and changed.
Newborns and One Year Packages
For parents-to-be, the one year package allows us to capture images during the first two weeks, at 6 months and the first birthday portraits. These have become our favorites and families love them too. That first year flies by.

Families
From Day in the Life sessions to family reunions to gatherings to mark special occasions, we embrace family photography. I would encourage you to search our blog under family to see the breadth of our work over the years.
Commercial Work
We cover the commercial side of photography as well as the more personal and Ryan handles graphic design too. We love supporting small businesses and local ventures.

Local business photos and head shots
Personal Growth
The addition of our son Finley changed so much for us and if you need a fix of cute pics of a pretty adorable ginger, follow us on social media. This little boy manages to keep us young.
More than anything, our goal is to capture forever those moments in our own lives, the moments in the life of a business, a community, and those fleeting moments in a family. As our business has changed (we only do very special requested weddings these days), these values continue to be a guiding light. If you have a milestone or just a notion for a photo shoot and would like to discuss it, we would be honored. We’re always for a bigger party, a full table and lots of connections.
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 newborn and baby portraits, engagements 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.
