When it comes to celebrating a quinceañera, every detail matters, from the dress to the dance floor to the memories guests take home with them. Recently, PDX Photo Lounge had the honor of bringing our Mirror Me photo booth to a gorgeous quinceañera celebration at Shawn Gardner Dance Studio in Tigard, Oregon, and it was an absolute joy from start to finish.

I've been running photo booths at Portland events since 2008. Weddings at Sentinel Hotel, corporate activations for Nike and Intel, galas, mitzvahs, proms, and brand activations at the Moda Center. We’ve done over 1,000 events across 18 years.

On May 13th, we had the pleasure of bringing one of our most creative green screen photo booth experiences to an Inclusiv event at The Redd on Salmon in Portland, Oregon — and it was such a fun, colorful, and meaningful celebration to be part of.

On May 17th, we had the pleasure of bringing one of our favorite photo booth experiences to the National Charity League Lake Oswego Annual Awards Tea & Fashion Show — and it was every bit as elegant, joyful, and memorable as you’d imagine.

There’s something different about the energy around an enclosed photo booth. The moment guests step inside, the atmosphere changes. People loosen up. They laugh louder. They stop posing for the camera and start interacting with each other. In a world where almost everything feels public and performative, enclosed booths create a rare sense of privacy and spontaneity that guests instantly gravitate toward.

Photo booths naturally pull people in.

They break the ice, give attendees a reason to stop at your booth, and create a fun moment in an otherwise busy environment. Instead of just handing out brochures or swag, you’re offering an experience — something interactive, memorable, and worth sharing.

Backdrops do more than decorate a space — they create moments. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gala, birthday party, brand activation, or festival, the right backdrop becomes the visual centerpiece of the event. It frames photos, shapes the atmosphere, and gives guests a place to gather, celebrate, and create memories.
