Introduction to Pixels – Pt. 2


Our photography portfolio is robust, because we began incorporating commercial photo shoots into our services years ago. Ryan is our point person for those and whether it’s to highlight the work of a builder, architect or designer or capturing images of a new enterprise, we use our nearly 20 years of professional experience to achieve the desired results.

Supporting Local Business

If you are a start up, a community organization or established business, regardless of industry, Pixels can be your photographers for website, promotional and other business related photography. And yes, we take headshots!

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.

Wilkes Wedding Expo 2020


Pixels has been photographing the Wilkes Wedding Expo for years. Owner of Bridal Traditions and Expo Host, Kelly Shumate is one of my best friends, so of course we photographed the latest one in March of 2020.

For years, the Expo has been a place for brides-to-be to find vendors and see their hypothetical dreams played out in various applications. Wedding industry experts flock to this early spring event year after year at Wilkes Community College. Pixels has exhibited annually over the years, as have pals of ours in the catering, DJ, event planning and venue realms. If you are looking for ideas, this is an Expo worth attending and if you are a vendor who wants to get in front of prospects, consider exhibiting!

2020 was Kelly Shumate’s last year hosting. She is celebrating 20 years in the Bridal Boutique & Prom business and wants to stay focused on that in the foreseeable future. But for the 2020 Expo, she took on a wonderful co-sponsor – Kelli Rodriquez of Embellished Events for You. Beginning in 2021, Kelli and Embellished will be the new hosts! Congrats and best of luck with this important annual event.

Class of 2020 Senior Portrait Photos

Yes, we’re in the middle of a pandemic. No, that does not at all diminish what you’ve accomplished. Graduation dates are approaching and we’ve got seniors on the brain.

While we know that high school and college seniors are basically either on pins and needles about their graduation ceremonies or they are now gearing up for something a little different than perhaps they wanted, we’re here to help.

These milestones are still big deals in your life and we want you to be able to get dressed up and have portraits taken that will memorialize your accomplishments.

While Pixels is strictly following all protocols laid out by the CDC and other government agencies, we do have an open air outdoor portrait garden that is glorious and ready for senior portrait sessions.

As the weeks and months unfold, we hope that we will be able to schedule individual shoots with no physical contact. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in discussing a plan to capture your senior milestone portraits. We’re here.

WCC Culinary Arts Building

It has been a summer of commercial shoots and it’s been all Ryan and I could not be more proud or more grateful to have his talent and partnership in work and life. His eye for good client work and the best ways to promote it through clean, gorgeous photography is impressive. Am I biased? Probably, but that doesn’t mean that I’m wrong.

Today’s feature is the new Culinary Arts Building at Wilkes Community College. Built by our clients MBI Builders, this new Culinary Arts building is ready for new students this fall.

I can see the students filling each of these spaces and each of these stations and learning all they will need to know to be excellent chefs, line cooks, hospitality experts, and small business owners. Growth in an individual life meets economic growth and the culinary arts is indeed a growing specialty on campus.

We have a great working relationship with MBI Builders and have been photographing their amazing work in the private, residential sector over the years. This firm also does elegant commercial work for government contracts, parks and recreation and industry leaders like Procor.
