I have two baby pieris in the back yard too and plan to prune them too when they get bigger. I just let them start to take shape, which is usually a rounded ball at first but when they do start sending braches out I choose a couple I like and prune the others, I like mine to look freeform instead of formal. Do not follow my pruning techniques...lol I think of pruning as a haircut and go from there, I have always liked the "shag" haircut with lots of layers...
See what I did to my "False Cypress" last month....it has no bottom branches any longer, it was getting way to wide for my tiny front yard...so off with its limbs!
