Photo Booths: The Hot New Trend for 2012

By Michael Barrett


Who would have ever thought that something invented in 1925 and found in every arcade in the 70s and 80s would become the new must have addition to your party in 2012!

The rebirth of photo booth mania started around 2004 and has been steadily growing ever since. You may find some at the local mall in a variety of configurations. But, if you are going to a wedding, bar mitzvah or company party this year you are sure to experience first hand why this old concept has gotten fresh legs!

Unlike the small photo booths of old, photo booths like those offered by Kansas City photo booth company Booth Crazy Photobooths, offer guests a whole new experience. What could be more fun than cramming 10 of your craziest friends into a booth and throwing inhibition to the wind? Guests can adorn the crazy props provided or go natural. Either way, something about being behind that curtain brings out the wild side of almost anyone! It is an experience that they will relive every time they look at the print they received as an instant keepsake.

No blurry pictures here. Thanks to computers, custom software and studio flash the pictures are actually of professional quality. Seeing really is believing. Unlike the hired photographer, its all automatic. With a push of a activator button, you are on your way to some serious fun. Add in some crazy props and your guests will reveal themselves in ways you would have never imagined. At Booth Crazy's Kansas City photobooths, they have 4 shots, 7 seconds apart, it is 28 seconds of photographic bliss.

Photobooth 101: the secret is the timing and having a plan. Practice really does make perfect. Good news! Because most photo booths are rented hourly, you are free to come in as many times as you wish. By the night's end, you will be an expert with the photographic evidence to prove it.

Looking for black mail material on your friends and family? Photobooths are just the ticket. The pictures taken are often posted on-line to be viewed on a password protected website. Perfect for sharing via email or social media. They are your pics, scan share and enjoy!

Photobooths come in many shape and sizes with prices ranging from $500-1500. Make sure you see the booth and know what you are getting. Check out the alternatives, do your homework and hire a professional company. Then, just sit back and watch your party become the talk of the water cooler on Monday morning.
