I absolutely love my Photo Booth business & the way that it makes people feel. But the most frustrating part is when someone comes up and takes a photo and looks around and goes “wow this is a brilliant business you just buy a light and a printer and go take pictures.”
Maybe that sounds unbelievable - but people say it often! And I should take it as a compliment- it means I’m making it look easy.
But genuinely, the Photo Booth business is one of the harder “jobs” I’ve had. And it requires a number of concurrent skills that I happen to have around tech, photography, strategy, people skills and culture / vibe, troubleshooting, customer service, sales, design, etc.
It also requires a lot of skills around literally crowd management, managing folks’ expectations, saying no when it’s needed, making people feel special while also holding them accountable and in order, and moving things along while also giving people a moment to shine.
To also pull back the curtain, stuff goes wrong sometimes! And it’s my job to make sure the crowd doesn’t see or experience that- so keeping cool while fixing and adjusting things, while also bringing the vibe.
I often get complimented not only on the photos, props, process, etc, but my own ability to bring energy and pump up the party. I hear all about past Photo Booth teams that have been hired, how they actually brought down the vibes with inflexibility and a grumpy approach to line management, and a non-committed attitude to the success and objectives of the event.
Ultimately, what the client & their guests see is a guy (me) dancing around wearing a glitter cowboy hat and taking photos - and that’s FUN!!! And it’s fun because it looks effortless.
I’m excited to share that Rent My Booth is turning years old 8 this summer. EIGHT!!! It is with this experience that I come to these parties and take and print branded photos with great energy.
I am so grateful for these 8 years running my business ❤️🎉🪩
