Grow Your Brand With Pixels On Paper Creative Services
When people hear Pixels On Paper, they often think of beautiful portraits, family memories, senior sessions, weddings, and professional photography. Photography has always been at the heart of what we do. Our creativity has grown far beyond the camera.
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.
Professional Graphic Design for Every Need
Great design catches attention and communicates your message quickly.
Pixels On Paper provides graphic design services for a variety of needs, including:
- Business logos and branding materials
- Social media graphics
- Fliers
- Promotional materials
- Event announcements
- Brochures and marketing pieces
- Advertising graphics
- Digital content and presentations
Every design is created with your goals, audience, and brand identity in mind.
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.
From business branding sessions and head shots to product photography and promotional images, Pixels On Paper creates visuals that help tell your story.
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.
Helping Local Businesses Grow
As a locally owned creative business, Pixels On Paper understands the challenges small businesses face. Many business owners wear multiple hats and do not always have the time or resources to handle their own marketing.
That is where we come in.
Our goal is to provide creative solutions that fit your needs—whether you need ongoing marketing support, a one-time design project, new branding, or professional images for your business.
Let’s Create Something That Gets Noticed
Your business has a story worth sharing. Pixels On Paper is here to help you share it through thoughtful design, professional photography, and strategic marketing.
If you are ready to elevate your brand, improve your online presence, or create marketing materials that truly represent your business, we would love to work with you.
Contact Pixels On Paper today and let’s create something that gets noticed.
Introduction to Pixels Graphic Design – Pt. 3
The final leg in our three-legged stool is graphic design. Ryan is not only a photographer, but a skilled graphic designer who’s been helping brands for nearly 2 decades. He’s got IT, if I may say so.
Not only does Ryan create logos for businesses of all sizes, he understands branding and the visual vocabulary that goes along with creating a culture and a fully conceived brand. Some favorites are included in this blog, but if you are an entrepreneur looking for branding help, or a business in need of a brand update, my guy is your guy!
In the process of creating each of these logos and treatments, there was a conversation (think: several) between Ryan and the client to set goals, discuss the business, the target markets, and the best way to represent who they are and what they do through products or services.
We love graphic design, architectural photography and commercial photography whether logo design, brochure design, head shot photos, architectural photography or product shots. At Pixels On Paper we pride ourselves in listening to a broad range of clients and customizing our photography and graphic design services to meet each individual request. Our skills, styles, and visions come together to be a permanent record that either reflects an identity or delivers a message that speaks to thousands. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your business needs. Email us at mail@pixelsonpaper.net or call 336.990.0080 to learn more, receive a quote or to let us know how we can put our skills to work for you.

Graphic Design fun
We’ve grown Pixels’ portfolio of offerings as we’ve continued to calibrate our lives over the last few years. We’ve shaped our lives, as you all have, to new normals and even newer normals, all while we try to rear a toddler, adjust our time management techniques and add new skill sets.
As you all know, Ryan is our graphic designer – as well as my husband, baby-daddy, and wonderful photographer. Recently, he’s been updating some design applications for existing graphic design clients and adding dynamism to the designs he’s created already.
A year ago, he worked on a project for our client in Asheville at the Words Communications by rebranding her business with a new logo treatment. Most recently, he added several animated gif concepts.
Several years ago, Ryan developed a branding logo for Fionix Consulting that they loved, and recently added an animated gif to their graphic design and branding mix.
I love sharing these new additions to our services at Pixels. We are professionals who capture milestones and create heirlooms, but we are also hungry creative types, always looking for ways to help our corporate, entrepreneurial and commercial clients. To see more of what Pixels can provide in the graphic designer department, check out our website and that category in our blogs.
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.

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.

A New Client Logo
A pal of ours decided to rebrand her 6 year old marketing business and reached out to Pixels for some inspiration and a logo design. She is a brander, copywriter, strategist, blogger and calls us “family.” We love her too. We were her first clients and go way back, so the “heck yeah, we’ll take a crack at it” came fast and furious.
Ryan worked to understand the original brand and what she wanted and because they’d worked together in the past, some of it was easy and some of it was a game of Getting to Know You. She loves Mad Men, the way embossing creates a sense of “appearance out of nowhere”, Art Deco, a variety of movie production house logos, and Pre-Raphaelite painters. NO problem.
She has been using orange and blue and loves that combo, so Ryan worked on tweaking those. The Focus Features intro is a favorite as well, so that was taken into consideration.
There will be more to come as she puts her new brand in motion, orders business cards, re-releases her website and further animates the dynamic gif that Ryan created by adding sound. Stay tuned for that. She has asked that we withhold the gif for now, but did share her feedback about the process.
Ryan did exactly what I try to do with my clients: he listened. He sifted through a mountain of disparate thoughts and idiotic spasms/requests and gave me something way better than I imagined.
I’m beyond thrilled.
It pays off to have such talented friends.
That’s enough for us!
If you have a branding or graphic design conundrum, project or need, we hope you’ll contact us.
