Amber’s prom in sizzling red

So, this is Amber Souther, a Junior at West Wilkes High School and for prom season, we photographed her and her date in our outdoor portrait garden a couple weekends ago. A few years ago, we photographed Amber’s sister Laura, who is equally gorgeous. It’s prom season and the gowns in the 21st century are incredibly elegant, original and unique.
Amber’s gown got me thinking: women, even young women, in red is a pretty striking thing. Red is known as the color of power, the color of hearts, Valentines and love. It’s also the signifier of danger, daring and certainly glamour. This child PULLED IT OFF. She looks amazing.

Prom Portraits – just around the corner

Spring rain and recent warmer temps have given us all a raging case of The Yips.
The Yips – loosely defined – are a specific kind of excitement that comes from anticipation. Horses behind the gate at The Kentucky Derby have The Yips. You with me?
Spring for us means orchard photos, engagement portraits, our garden going crazy [we hope] and PROM SEASON. We know that girls and guys are thinking of who to ask and may have already chosen a theme, a color, a dress or some fun way to celebrate with friends on what is a favorite high school event and milestone.

commercial prom portraits for Bridal Traditions

Recently we were hired by good friend and fellow wedding aficionado, Kelly of BeYOUtiful Prom Boutique at Bridal Traditions to take some commercial fashion photos for her. We go way back with Kelly and with her amazing business, so we were jazzed to jump in and do our part to help her as she prepares her marketing materials for 2018’s prom season. We photographed model and real junior-prom attendee Stacie Shumate in her actual prom gown purchased from BeYOUtiful Prom. The fashion shoot took place in our outdoor portrait garden at the Pixels’ studio in Wilkesboro. We photographed Stacie’s portraits just three short years ago in the peach orchards and can’t believe how much she has changed in such a short time. It was a pleasure and a treat! Thanks for letting us be a part of your business and life and for letting us watch you grow Stacie.Stacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoStacie's outdoor portrait Bridal Traditions prom commerical photography by Pixels On Paper Wilkesboro NC Photographers photoWe 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 vendor spotlight: Bridal Traditions Wedding and Prom Attire

 

Pixels On Paper Photography All About Prom 2014 Photo

Somehow, after all of these years and too many collaborations to count, we’ve never blogged about Bridal Traditions as a beloved and favorite vendor and partner of ours. Kelly Shumate, the owner of BT, is a dear friend and not only have we worked with her, but for her, creating her custom logo and branding.Shumate Wedding Anniversary Bride and Groom photo

We also took her wedding renewal portraits in one of the more unique and beautiful sessions we’ve had with a bride and groom. Honestly, that’s the word for Kelly and the options and perspective she provides to her customers at Bridal Traditions and beYOUtiful Promsunique. Kelly built her business from the ground up starting with a vision but only working at it part-time. She found gowns for weddings, provided dresses and accessories for proms, and later participated in prom campaigns like All About Prom where she could supply the right attire to each lady. By 2008, with no debt (NO. DEBT.) and a storefront, Kelly left her other job and became fulltime owner, operator and visionary for BT.All About Prom 2013Alicia Porter Bridal Portraitsprom boho fashion portrait photography by Wilkesboro NC Photographers Pixels On PaperCaudle Bridal photoGoforth/Harrison Pixels On Paper Photography Bridal portrait photography photoKelly is fun to collaborate with because she brings so many creative and clever options to the table when we’re the photographers for a particular promotion or event. You can have the word “Traditions” in your business name and still be modern, fun and completely distinct.

Every bride, every prom attendee wants to be and look remarkable. You like Scarlett O’Hara? Kelly and her team have got ya. Love The Great Gatsby? Done. Bohemian Chic? She can make you into that perfect gypsy. We look forward to many more years of working with Kelly and her amazing retail operations at Bridal Traditions and beYOUtiful Prom Attire.

Will you go to prom with me? spring, pink dresses and pretty portraits

prom boho fashion portrait photography by Wilkesboro NC Photographers Pixels On Paper photoThe movie, Pretty in Pink was a massive hit in the ’80s, which means that only the moms of kids going to prom this year will know what I’m talking about. Molly Ringwald and her not-as-cool friends struggle with the usual high school angst that comes to a crescendo at ….. wait for it …… the PROM. The fashions in the movie do not hold up over time, but the story does. High school is a wondrous, complicated, anxiety-producing, profound and fleeting time in life. You can’t grow up without going through it, so you just dive in and have as much fun as possible between exams. Which leads me to: It’s prom season again and time to book your portraits.

This photo session from 2015 was particularly fun, because of the bohemian theme and styling with chic dresses and accessories for our models, the blossoms on the trees, the props and the girls themselves.
