Carla's 30th party photo booth

A last minute booking in January,  I really loved this party. Everyone had a good time, and didn't stop taking photos all night.

However I did have a little issue with getting lost on my way to the party, I wasn't impressed with google maps taking us the long way round :( grrrr and I HATE getting lost.  I made it in the end, put a smile on face and forgot all about my troubles and did what I do best take lots of lovely photos.

Sweet 16 house party photo booth

I LOVE teen parties and as you all may know I specialise in children and teen parties, setting up custom stylish photo booths in venues and in your home. Yes you can have a photo booth set up in your house even if you house isn't that big, I have a custom backdrop that I can re-size to accommodate any party.

Lilly's mum organised a surprise 16th house party, theme pink and black and hired me as a surprise to. 

I set up Lily's photo booth in her front room and the girls had a good time taking photos and lots of dancing. I don't have a photo of the full backdrop, but as you can see from this photo I set up the backdrop against a wall and a studio light is placed behind the girl in the blue jacket. The girls would stand in front of the backdrop to get their photos taken.

Here are the rest of the photos......

Free family portraits with my photo booth

I love this photo - taken at a teen party I quickly grabbed
the family for 15 mins for portraits 

A big part of what my business stands for is 

Family, love and happiness, 

its what I believe in and what I promote. 

Many of us have never had professional photos with our loved ones and I noticed when I first started my business people wanted normal family photos with out the props or acting silly, just a nice family portrait. I had a light bulb moment and thought "why don't I add family portraits to my photo booth service as an add on for free" and since then people love it and really appreciate having their photos taken with their loved ones. How it works is whenever I'm hired for an event, I invite the guests to have a family photo, photos with props and the guests can come back and fought as many times as they like. 

Here is a collection of family photos from previous events:

Joint party photo booth - 2 photo booths in one

What do you do when you have a joint party and you need to create a photo booth both for a boy and a girl, one wants a princess theme and the other wants superheros?

Easy you just split the photo booth in two lool :) 

Ok so it wasn't that easy, when I found out I had this booking and their lovely mum asked if I could do both themes I said "sure" without having a clue how I was going to make it work. This is what I love about my business, I love challenges and don't stick to the norm. 

If I can envision it in my mind it can HAPPEN. Then I had my light bulb moment, "why not have two photo booths but joint together in the middle"?. The boys can take their photo on the birthday boys side and the girls can have their photos on the birthday girls side and then just to be crazy for group shots the children can just stand in the middle. Wa la, there you have it two photo booth's in one. I know its not rocket science but I was quite proud of my self for being so creative. 

Here are the lovely photos .......................

Ernie's circus theme photo booth

I love creating themed photo booth's for children's parties, this is what makes my photo booth unique and stand out from the rest. The photos also look amazing and very creative. Little Ernie had his first birthday and had a circus themed party so of course my photo booth was styled according to the theme. To create my circus themed photo booth, I first seek inspiration from google and pinterest and use this as a starting point. Straight away I knew I wanted the colour scheme to be a baby yellow backdrop and red silky curtains and I also wanted circus themed props.

As always I went to visit my fav fabric shop and and the party store to get my props. I sometimes purchase printable templates and make handmade props but on this occasion I didn't need to do that. 

Everyone loved the photo booth and the grown up's got involved to. I LOVE colourful photos, so I was very pleased how rich the colours were so when I was editing the photos I only needed to do a small amount of editing to enhance the photos.

Here are a few of the photos.........

My first teen party photo booth - Movie and TV stars theme

September 28th is a day I will not forget, for the first time I had three bookings in one day and for many of you who don't know, I can't and don't drive to any of my events no matter how far :(. I know, I really do need to drive, I'm not going to lie and say its not challenging to get around, its a real CHALLENGE at times to drag a suit case around and carry a backdrop stand. It is really heavy. Any hoo it all worked out in the end (YES) and each event was very successful. I had a wedding booking in the morning, superhero party in the afternoon and 18th party in the evening and very tired on the way home lol. (I will blog about the other events soon)

What can I say, the 18th party was a blast, the teens loved my photo booth and had so much fun. I didn't stop all night, constantly busy and so many group shots.  

By the way the theme was TV and movie stars, the teens were all in fancy dress - this made the photo booth more fun. 

How I started my photo booth for children and teen parties

While I was in the process of developing my photo booth business, I noticed there were not many photo booth providers for children’s parties, this made me wonder why because children also love having a photo booth at their party just as much as adults. I also noticed to hire a photo booth can be quite expensive especially for a small children’s party, most parents wouldn't like to spend over £400 just for a photo booth, plus most photo booths have a large booth structure that’s not suitable for every venue and certainly cannot fit in someone’s home.


So I set my self on a mission to create a photo booth service only for children and teens.

---

My goals were:

1. It has to be affordable

2. It has to be fun

3. It has to be portable, so the photo booth can be set up in any venue or in your home

4. It has to be very different from what other services provide
