Kendra’s Outdoor Bridal portraits in a historic setting in North Wilkesboro NC

It’s wedding season, y’all. It’s wedding season, engagement portrait season, bridal portrait season …….. it’s summer! Here’s more proof: Sweet Kendra Green Bell married her beloved Nathan just last weekend on May 20th. We shot their fun engagement session at Piccione vineyard and these bridal portraits. She was as alive and glowing as the landscape and it was a pleasure to capture how radiant she was on this day.Kendra Green Bell Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro NC Bride Bridal portrait photoKendra Green Bell Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro NC Bride Bridal portrait photoKendra Green Bell Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro NC Bride Bridal portrait photoKendra Green Bell Pixels On Paper Photography Wilkesboro NC Bride Bridal portrait photoThe setting for this session was a relative’s historic 100+ year old farm and property in North Wilkesboro NC in late March of this year. Kendra loves the southern charm and old world style both outside and inside the home. And this wine and Avett Brothers lovin’ girl had the elegance to just float beautifully in the shots we took inside the house and then the boldness to stand in a cow field and outside an old grain silo for a few of the outdoor shots.

Kendra seems to the manor born, doesn’t she? She is so pretty, comfortable in herself and in this place, it was a perfect setting to get portraits of her before she became a wife. We cannot wait to show you those wedding pics in the coming weeks.

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, engagements and weddingsbrides, and 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.

A Brand New Girl | Newborn Pictures of Penelope Jo

I’m sorry, but this child has the coolest name……. and no offense to the other sweet babies we photograph who have wonderful names.  Penelope Jo, though, you have to admit, is pretty rad. Penelope is sweet, makes me think of pink, satin, Paris, ballet and all things feminine. Jo says rock star, music lover, grounded, earthy and incredibly cool. Newborn baby photography Pixels On Paper wilkesboro nc newborn photographers portrait studio baby photoNewborn baby photography Pixels On Paper wilkesboro nc newborn photographers portrait studio baby photoNewborn baby photography Pixels On Paper wilkesboro nc newborn photographers portrait studio baby photoPenelope Jo was born February 28th at 4lb 12oz – a miniature gift and one month early. While small enough to put in your pocket on the way to grab lunch, she was completely healthy and discharged before her mom. I KNOW. “Look out, people!! I’ve got stuff TO DO!!” At only 8 days, Whitney and Preston brought this little jewel to our studio for their first ever photo shoot as a family of three. She took my breath away. How can something so teeny pull your heart out of your chest? But she did and I was only the latest. Her parents and grandparents are doing all they can do not to gobble her up.

She may be the smallest newborn I’ve photographed – both adorable and beyond cooperative. In fact she was so good that I didn’t want to stop photographing her as she slept peacefully. No matter what props or positions we put her in, she would bend like a reed and as cutely as possible.

So much satin and sweet, so much cool and composed. She’s a little dream.

Rattle & Hum | MerleFest 2017

If you combine jangley guitars, fiddling, soulful singing, drums, stomping, brilliant songwriting, mountain inspiration and camping, you’re probably at Merlesfest. And if you’ve never been, consider making it this year.
Pixels on Paper Photography Merlefest 2016 We Banjo 3 photoIt’s spring in the North Carolina mountains and, more specifically in Wilkesboro, where MerleFest was born. For nearly 30 years (the festival began in 1988), crowds of music lovers, players, and entertainers have gathered to listen to and contribute to the festival atmosphere. Like so many other music festivals, MerleFest is singular… the fans, the musicians, the inspirations, the talent, the views, and the overwhelming sense of family, culture and heritage.
For the last couple of years, Ryan and I have been official photographers and we’re going again this year in that capacity – from April 27th – 30th. Let the preparations – and energy conservation – commence.
