Color Me Rad!

I had the privilege of shooting the Color Me Rad event at Altamont Fairgrounds this last Saturday. Let me tell you my arms are killing me....still! It was worth it though. I shot for 8 hours (not straight through, I did have a little break), I was covered in pink dust (I had to be stationed at the pink area, of course), and I managed to capture over 6,000 images. I haven't managed to go through them all yet, but I have picked out a few favorites that I would like to share.

Before the first race began there was a lot of music and jumping and energy.

Pink dust flying everywhere! 

I love this shot...can't explain why when the head is cut off, but I do.

This one has me wondering what her story is....why is she running with shoes in her hands?

I think it's a prerequisite to dress up in the craziest fun costume possible for these races!

 

I have a few others up on our Facebook page and I may add others as I get through them and find ones I really like. I hope to be shooting more of these events in the future, so if you're planning on coming to one, be sure to smile at the camera!

Family Portraits & A Cake Smash

Today I had the pleasure of shooting a wonderful family. Their newest addition just turned one year old so I got to do a cake smash session too! Unfortunately, she didn't really get into the smashing part, but it was still fun and fairly messy. Here are some previews of today's shoot.

 

The Whole Family

 

 The Boys

 

 

The Birthday Girl!

 

Such a beautiful family, don't you think?

Mixed Media Art

We've stated in the earlier posts that we are not strictly a photography blog and now we want to show off some of our other talents. One of the more popular items from Koi Designs is the mixed media collages. We have done numerous custom works of these. We can do just about anything you request that is not copyrighted or trademarked. We've done some with kids names, just animals, and even a tribute to a family member that had passed.

The ones that seem to get the most attention, however are the ones with the newspaper backings. We created an African Animal series of these mixed media images. There were 6 images of different animals found in Africa. One has sold and one is pending a sale tomorrow morning. That means there are still 4 original pieces available for purchase if you're interested! Not to mention all the images are available as photo quality prints. The original elephant and the giraffe are unavailable, the others are up for grabs still.

 

If you see something you like here, let us know, or feel free to contact us for a quote on a custom piece. Prices start at $20.00.

Sports Pictures

I remember when I was young and in Little League there would be a photographer come to the field and take a team picture and individual pictures. Then parents could order and get one of those woodgrain printed 8X10 mats with the individual and team pictures in it. I may still have a couple of those in my box of old pictures. I don't know when that stopped, or maybe it is only for Little League or non-school activities. Well, KX2 Photography would like to offer your school sport, independent sport or other recreational activity the opportunity to not only offer portraits of your team/group members, but also use it as a way to raise money for your team!

Call, e-mail, or send us a message to set up a time for us to come shoot your team. We offer low prices that are affordable for any budget. KX2 Photography also makes sure we take several different images so you aren't stuck choosing from the standard and sometimes boring pose! We also offer multiple images on a single sheet, you won't find that with most photography studios!

As I mentioned above, this isn't just for sports or schools! Competition Dance and Cheerleading, Karate, Skateboarding, and just about anything else you can think of. (KX2 Photography reserves the right to refuse a group if it is based solely on political agendas, hate or racial views, or anything that is deemed inappropriate or immoral.)

To see more Sports pictures just click on the 'Sports' tab above! There are other tabs with samples of our work so feel free to look through them all. As usual, tell a friend about us, and find us on Facebook if you haven't already!
