our foundations part 6 – families of size

They aren’t better necessarily, they’re just bigger. Families.
As the wrap-up to our series on the types of portraits we specialize in and love, this blog is about celebrating a gathering of family.

These days families spread out in ways they didn’t 50 years ago when most families lived in close proximity. When summer break and holidays roll around, we’re often asked to get portraits of the whole tribe. These families want to be captured while they are all together. Whether it’s a family reunion, a christening, a special occasion like a wedding or an elders milestone birthday, sometimes that is the necessary “excuse” to kick off a gathering. It’s always worth it and getting a portrait is always a good idea.


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, engagements and weddingsbrides, and 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.

Our Foundation part 5 – family

Family portraits round out the professional foundation of our photography business. We do lots of commercial and event photography, but as the penultimate wrap-up to this series about the photography that gave Pixels our start, I’m sharing some beloved images of families that we’ve taken over the last decade plus. We’ve photographed many of these families multiple times and been in their homes for Christmas and Holiday portraits and Day in the Life sessions. Family and foundation go hand in hand.

our foundation part 4 – babies

Continuing our series on the foundations of our photography business with another focus on baby portraits and MAN ALIVE are they fun. They can have their moments, don’t get me wrong, but the results are always worth it and we love partnering with parents to enjoy the time and get the best shots of their newest family memories.
More of our favorites are below, including birthday cake smashes, playing dress up, orchard portraits and more. Enjoy!

Our Foundation part 3 – newborn baby portraits

At Pixels, we’ve been revisiting the foundation of our photography business, and so far I’ve shared the wedding and bridal portraits that were the beginning. It’s funny, because in some ways, they happened in the same order that life does. Weddings and then kiddos. This blog is a round-up of baby blogs . . . newborns, first birthday cake smashes, meeting new siblings, outdoor portraits. We LOVE BABIES!!!!!!! [And you have to say that like a crazy grandma from the South….. BAAAY-BEEEEEES!!!!!]

The newborn category will bring any person with a pulse to their knees. These little creatures are a reminder of both fragility in life and HOPE. Pure potential, perfect skin, projected attributes all end up assigned to these images and there is nothing wrong with that.

Our Foundation Part 2 – Bridal Portraits

Our photography foundations series continues with bridal portraits. Ladies……… we love doing these. You look beautiful – ALL OF YOU. You’re hair and makeup are done and you’re wearing one of the most glamour dresses you’re ever going to own and in the right setting, it’s magical.
We’ve taken bridal portraits months before the wedding, weeks or days before and even after the wedding has taken place. Sometimes, the timetable doesn’t work out and we are more than happy to see the bride again in the same or a different setting after she’s a Mrs.
