On October 24th, the second annual Minnesota Sports Awards was held in Minneapolis. It was also our second year at the event, where we captured the fun by providing our red carpet photography with printing. Held at U.S. Bank Stadium, the 2018 Minnesota Sports Awards honored high school, college, and professional athletes in the North Star State. Hosts for the Sports Awards were FOX Sports North anchor Anthony LaPanta, NFL legend Ahmad Rashad, and Rethink The Win founder Lea B. Olson.
We set up our red carpet photography right by the registration area. When guests first arrived, they could have their picture taken straight away, before they started to mingle. Guests could opt to pose by themselves, with friends, or even squeeze in next to mascots like Goldy Gopher or the Wild’s Nordy.
Besides red carpet photography, we also provided our hashtag printing services. Both before and at the Sports Awards, social media users tagged their photos with #mnsportsawards. At the event, our hashtag printer automatically printed all tagged photos. Our event photography rounded out the trio of professional photography services we provided this year. We can’t wait to go back next year!
Time Into Pixels can elevate your next formal event with red carpet photography with live printing. With the ubiquity of smartphones, there will never be a shortage of digital photos from your event. But how many of those candid photos will actually be printed? With our professional live printing capabilities, the red carpet photos are available immediately, and your guests will leave with their pictures in hand. For increased brand awareness, we can customize our live prints by adding the logo of your choice. When you take your event to the next level with our red carpet photography, your guests will leave not only with fun memories but also a personal memento.
Being a photographer is not just taking pictures, but an invitation into special moments… Moments that are important enough that they need to be remembered forever, capturing the emotions, allowing them to be re-lived. Photos with Santa with live printing is one of those services that capture a cherished Christmas tradition.
An event at the Minikahda Club we had the privilege of taking pictures of children sitting on Santa’s lap. Because there were minor children, we cannot show the actual pictures, but imagine little kids eagerly waiting their turn, thinking of all the things they want to ask for. Excited and a little nervous, each one scrambles onto Santa’s lap, keeping an eye on their parents to make sure they’re close. For some, it was the first time, making it even more special. Big, toothless smiles, hesitant eyes, a few tears, and lengthy talks of toys and games were caught on camera, and the parents were able to walk away with copies, both physical and digital. Having the picture in their hand and being able to share it with grandparents, family, friends, and the world on social media immediately made it even more enjoyable. There is no waiting for pictures to be developed, hoping it’s good.
Beautiful backdrops, lighting, and props all play a part in the feel of each photo. For this event at the Minikahda Club, we used a winter backdrop showing a glistening, snow-covered evergreen tree. A Christmas tree delicately decorated with gold ornaments and tinsel stood next to an antique chair.
Our goal is to bring your dreams to life, making your event as unique as the people there. Specialized backdrops, a variety of props, and immediate printing make perfect memories and are ideal for visits with Santa. Contact us to see how we can bring the magic to life at your event with photos of Santa with live printing.

In order to highlight the theme of the even, we decided to go with two green screen photo booths and three open style booths with flannel and frost templates. Our green screen booths featured a rotating background that changes with each new picture. This allowed us to use some wonderful snowy themed and festive looking backdrops to really encapsulate the holiday mood. It also gave us the chance to let every photo stand out while maintaining the spirit of the occasion. Each photo booth was given a uniquely designed background that corresponded with one another in keeping with the theme. We used a plaid template for our green screen booths in order to maximize the effect of both frost and flannel seamlessly alongside one another. To top it off, we added a few holiday props into the mix to add an extra flair to the full holiday experience. We’re proud to say our booths matched perfectly with the spirit of the event and have helped to capture the excitement for everyone to remember fondly.
At Time Into Pixels, we take great care of fitting into events as elegantly and seamlessly as possible. We specialize in all kinds of events from weddings to corporate parties across Minneapolis.

Photo booths have become increasingly popular over the years, and rightfully so. They add a fun twist, allowing guests to relax, enjoy the event, and take home a reminder of it. The ability to create a unique photo booth allows your event to stand out. In an age of filters and editing, there is something pure about photo booth pictures. They are real, untouched, and in-the-moment reminders of a special occasion.
Photo booths provide great entertainment, but maybe you want to go the extra mile, wow your guests with something extraordinary. Metallic paper in your unique photo booth will take your event up a notch, setting it apart from the others.
This specialized paper is made to look like metal and gives pictures a high-gloss, pearlescent finish.
This specialized paper is used for 5×7 prints, larger than the standard, and makes pictures pop. The images come to life, leaving a lasting impression. The sharp details, vibrant colors, flattering flesh tones, and pearlescent look add a depth that will make the photographs enjoyable through the years.
We offer the metallic paper as an upgrade for our open photo booth and our live photography. Weddings, corporate events, and holiday parties are the ideal time for specialized prints. The eye-catching souvenir is a fun way to say, “Thanks for being here.”
Our greatest desire is to make sure your event is fun and memorable. We understand the importance of the day and are glad to be a part of it. Our unique photo booth selection of backdrops, customizable themes, high-quality props, professional equipment, and customer service put us at the top. We are able to travel long-distances, do full-day events, or even put your logo into the theme. Contact us for more information or to see how we can make your event the best possible.

This October, we took part in the Fraser Annual Benefit at Hilton Minneapolis. The event was hosted by U.S Bank to raise money to make a difference in the lives of families with children and adults with special needs, and it was an honor for us to be included and provide our photo booth stand. We were pleased to provide a photo booth rental for this wonderful event!
This year, the event featured a Venetian masquerade theme with lavish flairs and dramatic decorations. We had two photo booth stands available, one in the VIP area and the other in a pre-function area. The fabulous backdrops for both booths were fit for a gala. The guests entered to be greeted by a violinist situated above an arch they could walk beneath. Enticing Entertainment entertained the guests and served champagne from a chandelier.
The benefit was a massive success as well and raised over $600,000 for life-changing Fraser services for children, adults, and caregivers of people with special needs. The beautiful decorations and entertainment made the night feel like a fabulous party and everyone was dressed in their best for the night out. Our photo booths gave them a chance to keep the memory of how good they looked and all the fun they had throughout the night.
The client decided on our beautiful rose gold photo booth backdrop for the VIP area, and the white mermaid backdrop for the pre-function area. The guests were able to receive a 4×6 print of their session in our photo booth stand, as well as immediately receive their digital images by email. Both booths were a huge success during the event and we had lines in both areas throughout the night, and they prove that our photo booths aren’t just for weddings or informal parties. They can also be a classy addition to a formal event where entertainment and fun are important and appropriate.

Early this November, we flew from Minneapolis to New York City to spend four days at the Javits Convention Center working for an expo before the NYC Marathon. This is the largest running exhibition in the country and we were so excited to partner with the four-year sponsor of the marathon, TCS. Our photo booths were built directly into their expo booth.
We brought two open style photo booths that were a part of the expo booth. We also added six printers and six digital sharing stations for people to email pictures and GIFs to themselves. Attendees were coming to the expo to pick up their race number and explore different running gear, health products, and services before the race. Since our booth was included in the marathon sponsor’s, it was the main photo booth of the expo. We had a busy few days – about 12,500 people attended the expo over the course of a few days!
Once the runners picked up their race numbers, they walked into the expo space and the first thing they saw was our booth. They were able to take photos next to the NYC background and take home photo strips as well as send a digital copy to their emails.
On the day of the race, we moved to Central Park in a VIP lounge for runners located in Tavern on the Green, an iconic national historic landmark. Our booth was right at the entrance so that runners who had a pass to the VIP area were able to take their photos next to a TCS branded backdrop. Runners with medals and props took photos and celebrate finishing the marathon.
These types of custom photo ops allow for seamless branding in special events and parties. We love working with brands to make a positive impression and help people form memories and bring home beautiful and fun photos from their events.
