And an 80s party it was!! I was so thrilled when hired me to be THE Photo Booth experience at their 2025 annual kick off and team offsite. As a 100% remote company, many of the employees had never met in person, but when they did, became fast friends.

This week was full of training, planning, and team bonding. My Photo Booth experience is a stunning way to get employees out of their shells, build silly moments, and get something cute (a picture of yourself, or 10!) to take home from the big event.

People said they would put their photos in their home office to remind them of the fun times when things get mundane or hard, and I think that’s just the whole point!

Thank you to Rachel who coordinated the whole party!!

P.S. Looking to host a corporate event for 50-200 people? I highly recommend in the Lower East Side!

BIG DAY AT RENT MY BOOTH! I had a big enough event that I needed to hire my first helper! Huge shoutout to employee of the day being my eyes, ears, and wheels (she even drove us to the gig! Seann really brought a fun flare to the Bar Mitzvah we did today- relating to the kids and getting them pumped for the booth, Seann was the moment!

When you rent with me and your event requires extra attention, you can now expect that I’ll be bringing help! To manage the prop picking, print gathering, and adding that extra special vibe!

Seann is an actor and comedian here in NYC and she also pet sits! So if you need someone to watch your dog, cat, or iguana, call 😘

Have a fantastic rest of your weekend, and don’t forget to strike a pose!

Meet Justin—the man who hired me to bring the photo booth magic to the New Year’s Eve party at the Players Club! Let me just say, Justin is iconic. He showed up in gold champagne-colored glasses and a white suit, serving nothing but class, brilliance, and unmatched vibes. Truly a vision.

When Justin stepped into the booth for the first time, I started coaching him through the usual poses: “Let’s start with a nice smile, now a serious model face, jazz hands, and finish with a big Broadway Finish.” And let me tell you—Justin didn’t just do a Broadway finish, he owned it.

Most people smile and throw their hands out for their “big finish,” but not Justin. Look at picture number four. The hand placement, the fingers, the energy—it wasn’t just a pose; it was a moment. I could practically hear the curtain call and feel the spotlight. A star was born right there in the booth.

Justin, you were an absolute joy to meet, and I can’t wait for next year!

Had the absolute pleasure of ringing in the New Year at the iconic Players Club in NYC! Everyone there was so kind, patient, and absolutely lovely—and as performers, actors, musicians, and stage pros, they brought it to the booth. From creative poses to hilarious prop moments (like one guest turning glasses into a belt and getting wildly inventive with a microphone), the night was full of laughter and unforgettable vibes.

Champagne was flowing, people were celebrating themselves, their journeys, and each other, and the energy was just chef’s kiss. Here’s to more nights of striking a pose and making memories in 2025! 🥂✨

Tonight’s party was pure magic from start to finish. As I was setting up for Janice’s glitter-and-glam-themed birthday celebration, I couldn’t help but think how perfect the tinsel backdrop was for this vibe. Monroe, her husband, had hired me to help bring this vision to life, and together we came up with a photo booth design that felt just right: a mix of gold and silver for that extra flair.

While setting up the props, fine-tuning the custom print design, and making sure everything was ready to capture the fun, I hadn’t met Janice yet. But the moment she walked in, it all clicked.

Janice was the theme. She shimmered in sequins, glowing from the inside out, with a smile that made everyone around her light up. It wasn’t just her party—it was her energy, her way of making everyone feel like they belonged in the spotlight.

Guests were striking poses, laughing, and making memories with every click. Behind-the-scenes shots blended seamlessly with booth photos, and the backdrop sparkled as much as the joy in the room.

A personal highlight? When one of Janice’s friends came up and said, “I just love this whole setup—from the props to the tinsel backdrop to the instant prints—you’ve nailed it. I need your card for my next event!”

It’s nights like these that remind me why I love what I do. ✨
