Our Finley James’ 6 month portraits

pixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photopixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photo

Our little man is 6 months old, has a great smile (his chin when he’s grinning is so stinking cute it cracks me up), big bright eyes and is a target-rich environment for kisses and nibbling. All the clichés of parenthood are swirling around us. You know how falling in romantic love opens up a new world of understanding when it comes to love songs? Well, just have a baby and you’ll hear yourself saying “time is flying by!” and “he’s growing so fast!” They may be tired phrases, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t true.

We took some time during the various orchard portrait sessions this season to grab some personal shots with our little man. Hat: check! Vest and dapper plaid shirt: check! Boots and sweet attitude: check! Happy parents: absolutely!pixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photopixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photopixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photopixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photoAnyone need a plumber in a bow tie? We happen to keep one on staff at all times. He’s efficient and cheeky. Sorry, not sorry for the terrible joke. To cover all our bases, we also snagged some of his six month portraits in the portrait studio.pixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photopixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photopixels on paper family and child portrait photographers wilkesboro nc photoThanks for letting us share, gush a little and show off Finley.

Gavin’s 6 month baby portraits

Just a couple of weeks ago, this little half-year old showed up in our portrait garden for his 6 month portraits and he was kind enough to bring his Mom. He even let her drive this time. [He enjoys a Harley, but that’s another blog.] Jessica and little Gavin Mendieta visited with us and I shot her son’s portraits and, man! do I wish there were photos of me crawling around on my hands and knees taking photos at 38 weeks pregnant. Alas, our minds were on the job…. you know – professionalism and all that.

COME. ON!! Pixels On Paper Photographers Six Month Outdoor Fall Child Portrait Wilkesboro NC Photography Photo

Jessica and I met years ago at girls beach trip getaway and have been friends ever since. I was so happy to get to be the one to photograph Gaven’s adorable gummy smile and capture him at this age, because we all know how fast it goes. I’ll blink and he’ll be getting his senior portraits taken.

Normally all smiles and flirtatious, on this day Gavin was a bit more serious when the camera was on him. We pulled out all the stops behind the camera including Ryan jumping up and down and running in circles, which he was going to do anyway. Might as well do it for work. <I’m ducking as I say that. HA!!> We randomly discovered that what Gavin enjoyed most was Ryan’s very loud whistle. Hey, any port in a storm and it worked!

Because our sons will be so close in age, Jessica is kindly giving me boy-mom advice and a ready shoulder and I’m so grateful.

Jaxon turns one | first birthday portrait photography

Jaxon Andrews, son of Kristen and Matthew, turned one on July 21, 2017 and we photographed his one year portraits as soon as he was standing on his own and walking…. which was 4 days later – ha!! We met at a friend’s family farm in Purlear, NC on July 25th and it was wonderful. This kid is apparently taking his charm pills regularly, because his smile is irresistible and his blue eyes haven’t changed much since I photographed his newborn session a year ago.

Jaxon is all boy and loves farm life much like his big brother Luke. If he isn’t admiring the cows and playing in a wagon, he is toddling around his dad’s diesel mechanic garage or playing with tractors. I picture him behind the wheel of some amazing car years from now having both the smile to get the girls and the ability to fix the car if something happens to the engine: i.e. A Keeper!

Newborn, six month, and one year photos. They chose not to include a cake smash because as it turns out, Jaxon isn’t a fan of cake yet. What they will be getting is a custom designed photo book that shows off Jaxon’s first year on Planet Earth. For our baby plan clients, we also like to bring the whole family together at the one year mark for a family portrait. Often we’ve photographed the siblings and all the growth and changes in the family are fun to see and should be chronicled, right? We love the continuance and adore the families.

jaxon turns six months old

In no time at all, you can go from delicious 6 day old bundle to bib overalls.
Meet a little man working the bald is beautiful angle. And he really works it.
We blinked and this little brother and son is half-way through his first trip around the sun. If I had a nickel for every time I got to stare at the mini-down on top of a kid’s teeny head, I’d be rich and I’d still be behind the camera. That smile is going to break hearts and it’s already bringing his sweet mama, and this photographer, to her knees.

He’s thinking, processing, gesturing, grinning and for all we know making trades over the phone with a savvy broker who speaks fluent Baby. Perfect skin and working bubbles, Jaxon shines with that kind of inner light that comes from no worries. His grandmother saw these portraits and said: “How beautifully done! These show his  personality so well.” And his mom thanked me for being “so patient and loving with Jaxon.” I love what I do. I love the families and the squealing newborns, the 6 month old squishies, the siblings and the crawling and everything that comes after. I cannot wait to see him at his first birthday. Maybe he’ll let his brother come along!

A Half Birthday Portrait Session | Sweet Sawyer Dean

Traci Pierce has been standing over her second son Sawyer and apparently holidng a watering can.
He’s growing fast and now at 6 month’s, he has a face that’s moving from baby to boy. Sawyer Dean Six Month Portrait Photography by Wilkesboro NC Photographers Pixels On Paper. Newborn pictures. Family photos. Maternity Photography. Boone, Blowing Rock, Jefferson, NC photo

Traci wanted Sawyer’s 6 month photos to be the same as his older brother Holden’s. White cotton, simple and classic. It’s pure and sweet and I love that she wanted that simplicity. It’s a color-scheme that let’s the child shine through. Both Sawyer and his mom were crisply dressed, but gooey together. I loved this shoot!

Traci and her husband Andy have moved into a new house – as if 2 young boys wasn’t enough work. We loved being with them at Christmas for their in home session and the newness of the house was everywhere – and wonderful. A special service Pixels offers is assisting clients with rearranging and redesigning previous wall collections we created for their old home when they transition to the new one.

A few weeks ago I visited their home, took measurements and photos of all the walls where they saw their story being told and where they wanted to show off their family, and I made an inventory of all the photos we’ve printed and framed for them. Back in the office I created new wall collections using their existing photos and made suggestions of how to continue to build upon those layouts with the addition of Sawyer’s photos as well as future family portraits. The monochromatic approach makes this transition a bit easier, because bright white looks elegant in any surrounding. six month newborn pictures family photos maternity pixels on paper wilkesboro nc photographers photosix month newborn pictures family photos maternity pixels on paper wilkesboro nc photographers photoWe love creating heirlooms for our clients, especially in a culture of selfies and snapshots and we certainly love it when a growing family can recalibrate a wall of photos to accommodate new siblings and new memories. The Pierces are dear to us and we’re excited that even on the busiest day, when there might be chaos in every direction, Traci and Andy can glance at the walls, see those boys in crisp white and think: “Well, THAT happened! At that time they were new and teeny and luscious and perfect.”
