Lenny and Karen's Wedding Photo Booth

It's rare that I'm unable to fall back asleep after waking in the middle of the night, but this is one of those mornings. I woke up at around (I think) 3:45 this morning when Evelyn climbed into bed with us (also not a frequent occurrence) and tried to fall back asleep for 20 or 30 minutes. When that didn't work, I decided to get up for a bit and hop on my computer to do some surfing, which has also been infrequent lately since it's been a busy time at work.

In any case, I finally scanned some photo booth pictures from the wedding of a close friend that Greg and I went to earlier in the year.






Whenever photo booth opportunities are present, especially at weddings and events, I will gladly take them! We received at least two printed copies of each pose while at the wedding (actual prints, not a strip of photos), so I really have no barrier to scrapbooking these, except for being super busy at work!

Denver Girls Trip Photo Booth

How I didn't post these photo booth pictures sooner, I don't know, because photo booths are too legit to quit.

During July 2014, I went on a weekend trip to Denver with Emily, Melody, and Lee Anne - girls I grew up with. Denver was a good place to hang out for the weekend because it's foodie and hipster, so there were many things to do.

We found a place to stay the weekend on Airbnb. It was a cute little place with a couple bedrooms and we had it to ourselves. On Friday night, which was the day we all arrived, we ate a late dinner at a nearby restaurant, Argyll.

The next day, we had lunch at Comida at The Source, which was this market that had a few trendy restaurants in what looked like a converted warehouse, along with a floral shop, bakery, and other things. For dinner later that night, we cooked pasta and ate on the patio out back. The weather pretty good, perhaps even a bit chilly for my Phoenix blood.

During the day on Saturday, we hit up a craft market that we found, the Horseshoe Market. At the market, there was a vintage camper-turned-photo booth called Picture Me Camping, and we did two rounds of photo booth so that we'd each have a photo booth strip (but also, I love that many photo booths now offer digital copies of photos, otherwise I'd have to scan them).

And after all that set up . . . photo booth!

Smile This is the Life Layout

Back in April, we went to the Children's Museum, where they'd put in a photo booth since the last time we were there. I'm a fan of photo booths, but at first I didn't want to spend the money on it. Greg inserted his credit card anyway and basically said the photo booth was happening, whether I was in the picture or not. Heh.

The pictures came out cute and I'm glad we got them. Parker's expressions in the pictures are hilarious! Greg said not everything Parker does is hilarious, but I beg to differ.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut star background out of white cardstock with Silhouette.
2. Watercolor around the stars in various colors. Watercolor the edge of the cardstock with gold.
3. Back the die cut shapes with bitty bags in rainbow colors and different patterns.
4. Add photos in between star shapes.
5. Embellish and journal in white space.

Wish Ball 2015 Photo Booth

Greg and I went to a (work) event last Saturday where they had a free photo booth . . yes, please!



We always do the same few poses (there can't be that many photo booth poses to begin with . . .), which consists of serious, silly, kissing, and props.

These will definitely be scrapbooked (sans tacky frame/background/logo and junk though).

Holiday Party Photo Booth

Couple of pictures from our holiday party last Friday night!

The fun picture:


The serious picture:


The photo booth was by Fable Photo and Video and I thought they did a good job.

It's convenient that Greg and I now attend the same work holiday party. :D They were raffling prizes and Greg put both his and mine in for this Mickey Mouse waffle maker, but alas, it wasn't meant to be and we didn't get it. That's all right - regular waffles taste just as good.

More Photo Booth

Back in September, Greg and I attended the wedding of a high school friend. It was a very nice wedding and she had some fun touches, like a gelato cart after the ceremony (it was still a bit on the hot side in September) and . . . a photo booth!





Although we got photo strips after we took the pictures, they made the images available online the next day, so I had to have them for blogging / scrapbooking purposes. Add that to my growing list of things to scrapbook . . .

Doc & Eddy's Photo Booth

There was a family dinner earlier in the week at Doc & Eddy's since a cousin of Greg's is in town. There was a photo booth / juke box thing that happened to have some credits left on it, so we had some fun with it:

Having fun with daddy! (Mommy hasn't arrived yet)

Having more fun with daddy! (Mommy still hasn't arrived yet)

Mommy!

All together!

The end.

Photo Booth Pictures

In June, we attended a wedding in San Diego for a school friend of Greg's. It was a pretty wedding, but my favorite part was that they rented a photo booth for the event. It was sweet.



I smell a scrapbook page in the works . . .
