Baby, Baby, Baby Favorites

The only type of blog we love more than a round-up of our favorite blogs ALL IN ONE PEOPLE! …. is a blog that is a round-up of baby photos that we’ve taken over the years. As a mom and a professional photographer, baby photography is a passion of mine.

For those of you new to “the round-up” – it’s basically a way to compile a bunch of flashbacks to our baby blogs. If you are expecting a baby, it’s a chance for you to see the kinds of studio, and occasionally outdoor, sessions we do at Pixels. This is going to be a 3-part series. Let’s start with newborns!

Above is baby Marion, who was born on her exact due date: December 3, 2018. As a lover of old-fashioned names, I’m a fan of hers already. I love how it evokes another time, the tradition of family names and makes me think of timeless beauty. This little rosebud is named after one of her grandmothers. Read more >>

Meet Barrett Spillman. We loved shooting images of this little man in our studio. Since his parents love to be outside and love nature, we decided to keep the attire and props to earthy neutral colors, with simple softs furs and adorable little bib overalls for his portraits.> (opens in a new tab)”> Read more about Barrett >>

This little nugget below is Hannah Harrison. Before Hannah’s arrival we planned for the shoot. Parents Jamie & Daniel sent me photos of her nursery and various areas in their home where they wanted to hang photos. I found out her nursery colors and also that Jamie’s favorite color is purple. I then used those details and photos to plan the backdrop, gather props, wraps and headbands that Hannah would wear. With this preparation I was able to compose photos and design wall art that will coordinate with the family’s home and proportionally fill some of the bare walls. We love providing this service and our families/clients do too.> (opens in a new tab)”> > (opens in a new tab)”>Keep reading >>

A few more: Luka (below), Tinleigh (next) in the ruffles, and finally Miss Ava in purple.

Themes are popular and we oblige with props when we can, but moms and dads tend to have an idea and bring their own. Below are just a few favorites in the theme realm!

Holden Pierce (brother to Sawyer mentioned earlier) wore gear that was a nod to his father’s occupation: pilot. What to Expect from a newborn photo shoot.

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.

Wyatt ~ the newest, gorgeous member of the Arnold family

The Arnold’s might as well be in our family tree, because we love them so much and have been able to experience so many sweet moments with them over the years while behind the lens. Their wedding was exceptionally beautiful. Then came a sweet Irish blossom – Berklee – their daughter and first child. We wandered behind them through our favorite peach orchard and later had the privilege of helping husband and father Jeremy surprise his wife Meghan with a photo shoot when she was preggers with this little man below. It was a gorgeous day with lots of love and coordinated outfits.

During the outdoor maternity shoot that Jeremy set up with us, we grabbed some images with a very special prop: one of Jeremy’s baseballs from his time as a college player. They wrote Wyatt’s name on it in anticipation of his arrival. So we made sure to incorporate the ball into some of the shots of Wyatt.

Seeing these four again and especially watching Miss Berklee with her new, real life baby was – as we say in the South – precious. We love this family so much and now if time could just slow down for all of us so that we can enjoy these little moments just a little bit longer.
