Yoga Month Photography

I have a large body of work that involves photography for yoga studios and instructors, so I was happy to receive a call from Darryl Olive of KC Fitness Link asking me to photograph for Kansas City Yoga Month. Yoga Month is a month of free yoga related activities to promote health and well being through yoga and fitness. There are many studios participating in the KC area and KC Fitness Link hosted a Spin/Yoga Class on Sunday. The participants met at the Nelson-Atkins Museum and took a long bike ride around the Plaza and Midtown areas.


They concluded the ride at the KC Fitness Link yoga studio where they engaged in a yoga class especially for bikers.

Photo Booth Madness at The Darling Room

I was on hand for The Darling Room's First Friday extravaganza on September 5 and boy did we have fun. The Darling Room is a super chic and fun downtown salon and they were offering mini makeup sessions as their First Friday activity. For those of you not familiar with First Friday, this is a monthly event where galleries, stores and other establishments in the Crossroads Art District throw open their doors from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm to showcase their wares. The Darling Room asked me to create a photo booth to take pictures of visitors after their mini makeup session. We had couples, kids, dogs and guys in hats....all hamming it up for the camera in my photo booth. Check out some of the photos:




These photos are now for sale at http://www.christinalundeen.com/ under "Online Ordering" and I will hopefully be back at the Darling Room again for future First Fridays!


This is such a fun idea, why not have me come to your party, work event or other social gathering to do a photo booth??!! Contact me on http://www.christinalundeen.com/ for more information!

Product Photography

Not only do I work with families in the Kansas City area, I also work with local businesses. I love the challenge of working with a business to produce one of a kind images of their products. From books to clothes to wine bottles, businesses need photographs of their products for advertising purposes. Whether the images end up on a web site, an annual report or a direct mailing piece, Christina Lundeen Photography can create photos that capture the product accurately and creatively.

If you are a business owner, call me at 816-807-1003 to set up an appointment to discuss your product photography needs. Prices vary according to the products in question and your unique requirements.

Saturday at the Beanstalk Garden

Saturday was a bright, sunny day at the Beanstalk Garden where I had my monthly outdoor photo session. These 30 minute sessions are a great way to get to know Christina Lundeen Photography as they only cost $100 which includes one 8"x10" photo and two 5"x7" photos. The August session was held in the Beanstalk Gardens in Swope Park.


Here are some photos one family who joined me at the gardens on Saturday: the Sher Family. They were a delightful family and little Cameron was also celebrating with some 6 month photos. Lexi loved playing in the fountain in the garden and was also thrilled to feed the fish in the pond. Thanks to the Beanstalk Garden for being so accomodating!

Christina Lundeen Photography: Not Just Portraits!

Although portraits are my specialty, I also love doing photography and web design work for small businesses. I had the pleasure of working with a company called HD Bates to do product shots for their book series.



If you are a small business owner or know someone who is a small business owner, call me for your product photo needs as well as photos used on web sites and in print advertising. Need photos of your store or office? I'm your gal. Need a web site that is simple, clean and sleek that you can maintain yourself? I'm your gal.
