Wilkes Community Partnership for Children Christmas 2021 Event
At the end of last year, during the holiday season, Pixels on Paper teamed up with the Wilkes Community Partnership for Children to photograph their “Sugar Plum Fairy Christmas Event.”
For years, I have raved about this organization to anyone who will listen. They do so much for children in our community, and our Finley has reaped the rewards for years.
This event was in held in Wilkesboro and was free and open to all children.
But first, a little bit about the Wilkes County Partnership for Children. This Smart Start program prepares children for school and provides school readiness, child safety, and child development programs to families in our area. This organization also has a diaper pantry, Imagination Library, reading programs, parent support groups and a bevvy of resources that families, teachers and other community members can readily use. I cannot say enough about this org and urge you guys to check them out.
This event brought out the goods! While Finley ran for Mayor (this kid loves to chat up the 2 and 4 legged creatures equally), we captured images of Santa & Mrs. Claus, all of the arts & craft activities, cookie decorating, and time with miniature horses. We forget with all the screens and the speed of info how nice it is to stroll while chatting with neighbors and not feeling in a hurry. This was THAT day, and I loved it.
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 newborns and families, 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.

It Pays to Refer
Did you know that showing gratitude causes a release of dopamine – a trigger of the neural circuitry in our brain stems – and makes us feel good? It does. So let me just send myself a shot by saying THANK YOU to all of our clients these nearly 20 years. WE LOVE YOU. One of the ways we show our gratitude year round is our Referral Program. So if you are, or have you ever been, a Pixels on Paper photography client, listen up!
Any existing client of Pixels (you’ve hired us for a wedding or portrait session of one type or another) who refers us to someone who then books us for a wedding, will receive their own FREE portrait session PLUS $250 in print credits from us.
Any existing client of Pixels who refers us to someone who then books us for a portrait session, will receive their own FREE portrait session that year PLUS $50 in print credits from us. For every additional referral they send us, they will receive yet another $50 print credit. The more you send others who book with us, the more rewards we’re happy to lavish on you.
We want our existing clients to make sure to tell the folks they are referring to us to mention them, so MENTION THE REFERRING CLIENT’S NAME, so that they get the rewards they deserve. If someone books a wedding or portrait and doesn’t mention that they heard about us from you, how will we be able to shower you with some love? Don’t you want everyone to experience the dopamine rush of happiness?
*This program offer EXCLUDES limited edition and promo session referrals. Contact us if you have questions!

Need a hug?
Anyone? If you’re in need of a little boost today, I’ve put one together for us all: some images of our clients showing adoration and affection for each other and for life. It’s not a chimp eating strawberries, but we do have some babies smooching. Chin up! It’s still summer. Let’s be present for each other. Let’s give hugs to those who need one. What do you say?

Best of Summer … Part 1
They say context is everything, and it’s certainly important, but I’m feeling like a random summer playlist in photos is overdue. No order. No context. No BIG message to convey, besides, “ain’t summer grand?” The same way you hit random with your songs, here goes with some favorite summer shots.
What images make you think of summer? Share yours with us on Facebook or share and tag us on Instagram.

Happy Thanksgiving 2018
We hope that wherever you are and whomever you’re with that you find time this Thanksgiving to remember what matters most to you and to celebrate that. Truly. Find the 2 minutes to hold the hand of someone you love, tell them how grateful you are for them and crack up together. Those moments become mental snapshots that you’ll keep until your mind goes…. during old age – or at Christmas.
KIDDDDDDDDING!
But I am serious about the first part. I love making eye contact with my mom, dad or Ryan for a second and shooting them that “I’m grateful for you” glance. It matters to show others that they matter to you.
Ryan and I are so grateful for this time of year to take a breath and put things into perspective. It has been a year of blessings – and grief – on the world stage and that is indeed a part of life. But when I think about how I want to ground myself, I do it thinking about a few of my favorite things – family, babies, laughter, nature and togetherness.
“Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are.” – Joyce Giraud
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey
“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie
“When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.” – Dalai Lama
“Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.” – Ralph Marston
“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” – Henry Van Dyke
“Thanksgiving isn’t just a day. It’s a way we can live our lives everyday.” – Katrina Mayer
Happy Thanksgiving, Y’all! Be safe, eat well, laugh a lot, grab some couch time and nap, and enjoy the beginning of the holiday season! Whatever you do, be grateful. We know we are.
