Sweet sixteens, quinceañeras, mitzvahs, milestone birthdays across Chicagoland. Pick a theme, add a name-and-date strip, and it lands on every guest's phone.
Pick your backdrop. Pick your print design. Tell us the theme and we'll bring a prop box built for it — birthday, shower, quinceañera, whatever you're celebrating. It's built around you, not the other way around.
We handle the running of it. You handle having a good time. Every guest walks off with a print before they head back to the party.

Best for Private Parties
360 Booth
Guests hop on the platform, the arm spins around them, and seconds later they've got a slow-motion clip set to music with your branding baked in — ready to post before they've stepped off. It's the setup that gets an event tagged all over social.
Why for private parties: The showstopper for milestone birthdays and quinceañeras.
Delivery, setup, and teardown (not billed against your hours)

Standard backdrop and full prop box
Cinematic slow-motion 1080p video

Open-Air Booth
Our most-booked setup pairs a pro DSLR with softbox lighting and an open layout, so big groups fit, the line keeps moving, and everyone leaves with a 2×6 strip — with digitals sent to phones too. The dependable pick for receptions, company mixers, and expo floors.
Why for private parties: Classic strips that match any theme and backdrop.

Digital Booth
No printer, no paper — just an iPad that fires photos, GIFs, and boomerangs straight to each guest's phone by text, email, or AirDrop. It's self-serve: the interface is so simple guests run it themselves. Ideal for share-happy crowds and anyone who'd rather skip the waste: weddings, mitzvahs, conferences, and green-minded company events. (Prefer prints? 2×6 strips are available too — your call.)
Why for private parties: Print-free sharing straight to everyone's phone.
Party hosts buy on look, not on specification. Match your colors, your theme, your night.

The experience was amazing from start to finish. He was very responsive, answered all of my questions quickly, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. The photo booth was a huge hit at our graduation party, and everyone loved it. Professional, reliable, and great customer service!

Fantastic service! I was comparing several vendors and they were prompt to respond. Even though I called just two days prior, they were efficient and gave us a great experience. We had all ages at our party and they were so accommodating — I look forward to working with them again!
