About Kris Rudzinski

Hi, I’m Kris Rudzinski — the photographer behind PHOTO817. I specialize in action, sports, theater, and marching band photography for schools and organizations across Aledo, Fort Worth, and the greater DFW area. My focus is capturing real moments — the energy of competition, the emotion of performance, and the pride students feel when they give their best.I work closely with athletic departments, fine arts directors, and booster clubs to provide professional coverage that supports school programs while delivering high-quality images families are excited to purchase and share. As a member of the Texas Professional Photographers Association (TPPA), I am committed to professional standards, ethical practices, and continuing education. Schools can trust that PHOTO817 operates with reliability, respect for students, and an understanding of live performance environments.When I’m not behind the camera, I’m focused on building strong relationships within the local community and helping schools showcase the incredible talent of their students.
