all about prom 2013 fashion photo shoot
We had the opportunity again this year to participate with six other special event vendors in Wilkesboro and be the sole provider of photography for the 2nd annual All About Prom event. For two weeks in December representatives from each of five Wilkes County high schools competed on Facebook to be selected as the Prom Model to represent their school. Winners were given a full day of glamour, pampering and the high fashion model experience in exchange for representing all that the event sponsors have to offer in the latest prom fashions and services.
Each girl was fitted with two complete glamorous wardrobes by Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom attire that included dress, shoes, and jewelry accessories. Intricate matching nail design using everything from crystals to glitter were created by Valery Guevara of Blossom Salon & Butterfly Boutique. Dominique Nunn also of Blossom Salon transformed each girl with glamour makeup, sometimes incorporating feathers and sequins, that was uniquely created to coordinate with the formal dresses they would be wearing. Andrea Hunt of Cut Ups Salon styled each model’s hair using fashion forward techniques that were ahead of the trends. The finishing touch added to each model as she entered our studio portrait sets were unique floral accessories designed by Denise Brooks of Innovative Occasions. Denise took the old tradition of corsage and boutonnieres to a whole new level. What’s a fashion photo shoot without a professional videographer on set? Shaun Cardwell of Divine Treasures Videography captured moving images and created a stunning short film of the day.
Three completely custom photo backdrops were designed at the Pixels On Paper portrait studio. Ryan and Misty both took turns all day photographing each model and making each one truly experience the Pixels On Paper difference both on set and later when seeing their final photos. Pixels offers unique and creative portrait photography. Forget about those horribly traditional photos made during prom where they make you say cheese and place you in a stiff traditional pose. Pixels will make sure you have a blast getting great photos that make you feel and look like a Rock Star or High Fashion Model.

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.
